We keep looking for life on other planets right?...so why not just make life on other planets?
Can't scientists gentically modify bacterias or higher life forms to take advantage of a certain planets inhabitable atmosphere in order to put out Oxygen as a byproduct?
Some planets such as Jupiter and Venus etc (too gassy, acidic or liquid for use).
For, let's say Mars....can't we design a bacteria and sent a few thousand pounds or more of it to Mars to slowly convert the atmosphere over....let's say 100-200 years. By the time we're done trashing this planet Mars would be ready for a beating.
How much time would that take really?....I am guessing more than feasible amount? To convert a planet?
Can we even modify bacterias to do that? Lets say we could and go ahead with it, would Mars's atmosphere change the species in some unexpected way?
