James looked down at Jasmine in awe. It was like watching a T-rex in the wild. He never knew how empty his life was without her, so when she pulled his head down, he kissed her.
“Bulking up Mars will solve several other problems, besides burying the ultra-fine dust and dead soil under a few thousand kilometers of asteroid regolith. First, thickening the atmosphere with trillions of cubic meters of gases protects us from deadly cosmic radiation, even while it warms the planet up by retaining the Sun’s heat. Mars now is like Antarctica, except colder, dryer, windier, and the nearest help is 70 million kilometers away.
“The atmospheric pressure is now so low that few plants could live on the surface. Humans need a minimum density of 100 millibars and Mars at ‘sea-level’ only has 6. Greater air pressure means if you cut yourself, you put on a Band-Aid instead of watching in agony as your blood boils away.
“It would also reduce temperature extremes. Temperatures on Mars fluctuate more in a day than on Earth in a year. It can be 60 degrees F in the day and -100 that very night. Also, raising the mean temperature above freezing would melt the millions of square kilometers of permafrost lying under the surface, and create new lakes, rivers, and seas via rainfall, which would also help settle the millions of cubic kilometers of new regolith.”
His head snapped back at the taste of another man’s sperm. He remembered his black teammates tasting so much better. The Arab laughed arrogantly, waving his penis at him like a little boy groping a garden hose. Then a drop fell off the tip and sank into his eye. It hurt so bad that James howled in pain as he fell to the floor in agony.
“Bulking up the atmosphere would also add needed oxygen, while diluting the poisonous carbon dioxide. Mars now only has. 2 % oxygen, and we need several percent. The only way to get that is by direct importation via comets and ice-teroids. While primitive plants can get by without it, advanced plants need about 1 millibar and humans need 120. Afterwards, we could walk around Mars in t-shirts and shorts while breathing through a simple CO2 filter mask without hauling around heavy oxygen tanks.
“The solution to all of these challenges is bulking up the planet as much as possible, as fast as possible. Scientists will want to study Mars before we bury it, so we quickly thicken the atmosphere by crashing its moons and the largest nearby asteroids and comets into the poles or into deep areas of permafrost. Phobos has three trillion tons and Deimos another two trillion tons of frozen water and other volatiles. Crashing Phobos into the larger South Pole and Deimos over the smaller North Pole would vaporize millions of tons of ice, doubling its atmospheric mass.
“Comets average 60 % water by weight, and over one hundred short period comets approach Mars’ orbit. We could simply nudge the comets at perihelion — when they are closest to the Sun — to strike deep permafrost. This would quickly give Mars enough atmosphere to shield us from deadly radiation, allow us to walk around without pressure suits, warm the mean temperature above freezing, and allow liquid surface water.”
Gina tapped Jasmine and motioned to switch places. Gina got up and, while Bob laid there watching the movie, Jasmine climbed on board, but with her back to Bob.
“Tripling the size of Mars could double its gravity from 38 % of Earth’s to roughly 75 %, which will be great news for the elderly. Gravity and ultraviolet rays are the two main causes of wrinkles, and sunlight is only half as strong on Mars. Like on the Moon, metallic asteroids on the surface gives us quadrillions of dollars worth of metals.
“Afterwards we seed the surface with bacteria, fungi, lichens, algae, and self-composting plants. As the atmospheric pressure increases, we add more complex self-composting plants, mosses, grasses, bushes, and trees.”
Through his burning eye, James watched his fiancee prepare to fuck his father with her mother’s help.
“Botanists once believed that only soil microbes could convert organic nitrogen into the nitrates and nitrites that plants need, but since have discovered 15 self-composting plant species that generate nitrates and nitrites in their tissues when they die. We can therefore create soil by cultivating self-composting plants. We will also need soil and fertilizer factories on Mars, as well as millions of animals for their manure — from rabbits and rodents to farm animals to buffalo. Maybe, one day, we could clone dinosaurs. One super-sauropod has more meat than 200,000 chickens, and would cost less to raise.”
Bracing her hands on the seat in front of her helped Jasmine balance herself as she sank onto her father-in-law’s hard cock. Bob probably assumed that Gina simply switched positions by the way he casually put his hands on her waist to steady her.
“80 % of Earth is covered by liquid or frozen water. Mars would be best served by reversing that ratio. Waterways are low-friction mediums that are far cheaper to transport goods than land or air. We should optimize the waterways to navigate as much of the planet as possible to boost trade and settlement. What we don’t want is huge inland continents like Africa with few navigable rivers.
“We need millions of young, healthy workers to terraform the surface and grow trillions of leafy carbon dioxide-eating trees, lumbar trees, and fruit trees. The tallest trees on Earth are almost 400 feet high, so trees on Mars may reach an amazing 600 feet.
“Mars today has scientific, but no economic, value because no one can live there independently. In contrast, an optimized Mars may be worth $100 quadrillion. And if we are the only ones who can send people to Mars, then we could send only those people we want. Like genetically screened, westernized English speakers. We could have one global government, with one dollar-based economy, without violent crime, poverty, unemployment, or wars.”
Once she accommodated the length, Jasmine flopped her hips up and down like a dancer on American Idol. Few women get so much speed along with so much depth. She was in heaven!
“Once we have enough fusion spaceships, we eventually want to use them as mass thrusters to re-orbit Mercury equidistant between Venus and Earth. We can start pushing Mercury just after dawn on its equator, when Mercury is farthest from the Sun, though the temperature may be 300 degrees below zero. By midmorning, 22 Earth days later, the temperature will have risen to 80 degrees. The trick is to move Mercury far enough away from the Sun because at noon, 44 Earth days from dawn, the temperature rises to 800 degrees, which melts most astronauts.
“Then we give it an atmosphere by importing comets and presto! — a habitable planet. People may prefer to live on Mercury because Mars will retain a carbon dioxide atmosphere that requires wearing masks, while Mercury could have an ideal atmosphere and gravity if we do it right.”
Gina sat in Jasmine’s chair and opened her legs to ventilate her pussy. James, at her feet spitting out the taste of jism, suddenly found something to replace the bitter taste in his mouth.
“Later, to maximize the habitability of the solar system, we could re-orbit every world larger than Ceres into Goldilocks orbits — from Venus to just past Mars — so that humanity could grow to over one hundred billion people.
“There are 14 moons larger than 1000 kilometers: Titan at 5150 kilometers, Ganymede at 5262, Callisto at 4821, Io at 3643, Europa at 3122, Tritan at 2700, Titania at 1578, Rhea at 1528, Oberon at 1523, Iapetus at 1436, Umbriel at 1170, Ariel at 1162, Dionel at 1120, and Tethys at 1072 kilometers. The Kuiper Belt dwarf planet Eris is about 2400 meters, Pluto 2300 kilometers, Makemake 1400 kilometers, Haumea 1300 kilometers, and the asteroid Ceres 950 kilometers. As the need arises, they could be bulked up large enough to retain an atmosphere and provide decent gravity using the millions of rocks in the Main Asteroid Belt. Imagine 100 billion people living on twenty worlds between Venus and Mars.”
