Creating habitable planets
 
  Several science fiction films have demonstrated the concept that planets habitable for humans without the need for enclosed biospheres or space stations might be possible by creating large machines that change the atmosphere of the planet.  
  The only problem with this idea has been the sheer cost in terms of transport, assembly and number of machines that are thought to be required for this kind of process.  
  However, as we have discussed in the previous chapters of UCA, the process for changing a planets atmosphere rests in the reaction of larger reactions than ground level processes. It resides in the processes of strong nuclear and weak nuclear reactions.  
9.11.1 The problem with mars  
  While mars has a reasonably good comparative level of gravity to Earth, the martian atmosphere is far too thin to sustain any kind of life. While Mars is far smaller than Earth, its atmosphere extends much further than Earths. As will be discussed in Chapter 11, this is due to the counterbalance effect of the Earth's moon.  
  The Moon effectively compresses the Earth's atmosphere and acts as a secondary harmonic to the seasons of light and darkness on the Earth. As a result of the moon, the Earth experiences two tides, instead of one- giant span of temperatures.  
  Sadly Mars does not have a moon like Earth to provide such counter balance, to compress its atmosphere, nor symmetrical enough to concentrate radiation (Sun particles) towards the surface.  
9.11.2 Using understanding of chemistry to simulate a moon  
  Yet to simulate the effects of an Earth's Moon does not require an object of the same dimensions. In fact an object just 100m across with the right matter and construction could perform the same function.  
  On Earth, nuclear reactors and bombs are dangerous sources of potential radiation. yet in space, we call natural reactors and bombs- "stars". The challenge is to create a sufficiently "dirty" device capable of spinning at a sufficiently high rate to increase its density (attraction of gravitons).  
  These technical elements pose a challenge- (a) how to launch nuclear devices (b) how to assembly them into a spherical chassis and then (c) transport into a near orbit of Mars, then finally (d) turning it on.  
9.11.3 The effect of a nuclear moon  
  Set up correctly, a nuclear moon would almost instantly begin transforming the Martian landscape. The compression of the carbon dioxide atmosphere would create electrically charge clouds, causing the perfect breeding ground for weak nuclear reactions and the creation of water. Rain would begin falling onto the surface of the planet. Within years, the steady rainfall and activity would re ignite the surface action of the planet, with volcanic activity and small seas.  
  By promoting the acceleration of this with magnetic generators on the planets surface, to accentuate magnetic fields between the moon and Mars would prepare the surface even faster- to within a 60 year cycle.
