−	The ultimate results of terraforming are disputed. Terraforming may have only a temporary effect, even if the effect lasts for some hundred or thousand years. Eventually, the [[solar wind]] may carry away most of the new atmosphere due to the insufficient magnetic fields of Mars. Anyway, terraforming Mars can help to give colonization a start.
−
−	~~A means to do a short term terraforming on Mars can be the [[Bringing down Phobos\|bringing down of Phobos]], which certainly releases a great amount of water vapour into the atmosphere.~~
