There is another problem with terraforming Mars and other planets that a lot of people don't realize.
Life on Earth has evolved to a ~24-hour day-night cycle. As far as I know, most planets don't share that distinction. Certainly not Mars.
It would be very difficult for organisms to adapt to a whole new world with a different amount of time per given day.

There is also a seasonal pattern to terrestrial life that many organisms have adapted to that would be different on any other planet. Bottomline...from the standpoint of life....Mars is basically a dead planet. My point is that---despite this---it is the most Earth-like of all the other Inner Planets. So the Traveller would have to perform the fewest "miracles" on it, in order to terraform it. What the Traveller did to Venus and our Moon bent the laws of physics until they screamed. What It did to Mercury just took them, and set them on fire.....

Oh, I agree completely. Mars is definitely the prime candidate for a colony world. I was just pointing out an obstacle that a lot of people don't take into account.

Valid point.
