Yeah.. I mean.. you could go the big honking space shield route too. But it seems like more trouble than it's worth.

For instance..

You could build a large shield at L1 that blocks most or all of the Sun's radiation to the surface of Mars. Make it convex so that the solar-facing side is reflective, and directs most of the light to a focusing mirror suspended out in front of the shield. That focusing mirror then redirects the light back to the surface of Mars through a hole in the center of the shield. I suppose some of the radiation would breach the shield through that hole, but probably not all that much, and you might be able to increase the heat that is transferred to the Martian atmosphere at the same time to simulate the kind of light the Earth gets.

Hey, our only NASA thread....................... so this goes here.

James Bridenstine, a Navy Reserve pilot, was confirmed as NASA's 13th administrator
In a 50-49 vote Thursday, Oklahoma Rep. James Bridenstine, a Navy Reserve pilot, was confirmed as NASA's 13th administrator, an agency that usually is kept away from partisanship. His three predecessors — two nominated by Republicans — were all approved unanimously. Before that, one NASA chief served under three presidents, two Republicans and a Democrat.
The two days of voting were as tense as a launch countdown.

Democrats opposing Bridenstine said his outspoken divisiveness, earlier rejection of mainstream climate change science and lack of space experience made him unqualified. Republicans praised him as a qualified war hero.

He's in the Air Force Reserve currently as a Major, working as a E-2C Hawkeye jockey.

Well shit, this is not too comforting.

SURPRISE ASTEROID FLYBY: With little warning, on Sunday, April 15th, a “Tunguska-class” asteroid about the size of a football field flew through the Earth-Moon system. 2018 GE3 was discovered just the day before as it plunged inward from the asteroid belt. A quick-thinking amateur astronomer in Europe was able to record a video of the asteroid as it flew by.

It’s going to take a big impact from one of these to wake people up.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

It's pretty crazy they didn't see this thing until it was a day out. Do you think if the trajectory for impact was the center of North America or Europe they would have warned anyone ?

Well, it seems like a higher priority for NASA than telling me about Global Warming.


Our agencies priorities are so fucked. You have the FBI that has all kinds of time stage a coup, but no time to stop Tsarnev brothers, or the Sand Bernadino or mr cruz or the Orlando shooter.

You mistakenly think your protection matters to the system that really just wants more and more of your money.

Why would it be a higher priority than GW? It's not like we could do anything about it unlike CO2 emlssions.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
