re: Elon Musk wants to Nuke Mars

For all we know, nuclear energy could be catastrophic to Mars or there may be aliens that feed on radiation. In the grand scheme of the entire universe, our little nuclear bombs aren’t as big and powerful as earthlings think.

Wouldn’t we need to give Mars a magnetic field too?

It gets up to 70 degrees on Mars at the equator and can hit 95 in the summer time. Sounds like a good spot to put the new 30A.

True.
But modern nukes could still frick up Mars. I'm forgetting the number, but I think we're talking 5,000 times stronger or something like that than Fat Man.
Our arsenal could easily end life as we know it on Earth.

They are pretty powerful though, they don't compete with cosmic events, but it seems unlikely a life-form could control that. And even if they did, it would probably take one which is living in a higher magnitude of understanding than what we think of as "intelligent life"

I would put a 30A sticker on my spaceship

Well, he's right?

There is no way to make Mars long term breathable atmosphere so why bother? It used to have an atmosphere like earth’s and there is a reason why it doesn’t anymore.
Well yeah. It lost it's magnetic field.

Well, they started probing us ever since we started setting them off, so I think they care.

So by the time all that happened, radiation levels would have decreased.
How does dropping massive amounts of radiation good for living conditions? Can someone inform my ignant arse?
