    This is the same guy who told Steven Colbert he wants to nuke the Martian poles.

    To which Colbert replied, “Are you SURE you’re not a supervillain?”

    That was in 2016.

      To be fair, that’s not totally outlandish and no one lives on Mars. It’s a fast way to inject heat. Is it actually a good idea with the radiation? Idk. I’ve seen it proposed for terraforminf before though.

          There’s also no other biological activity there on the surface

          Maybe there is some in the deep underground, but they wouldn’t be affected by nukes and terraforming
