Musk's idea of nuking Mars to make it warm won't work: Study
A NASA-backed research has refuted SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's idea of nuking the arid atmosphere of Mars to make it warm and habitable. Researchers said that available technology would be able to release only enough planet-warming carbon dioxide to bring Mars' atmospheric pressure (currently less than 1% of that of Earth's) to 1.2%.
