Terraforming Other Planets: Can We Really Make Another Earth?


Listen Later

What’s the difference between colonizing a planet and terraforming one? In this episode of STEM to Stern, Jake and Chauntée go interplanetary discussing what it would take to make Mars habitable for humans. 


From thickening atmospheres to shielding from radiation, they explore the science (and science fiction) behind turning the Red Planet blue. They also ask big questions about climate change, generational adaptation, and the ethics of altering entire worlds.


Whether you're a space enthusiast or just curious how STEM reaches beyond Earth, this episode will expand your orbit.
