And the “particle engineering” sounds like energy guzzler, anyway. Where are you gonna find that amount of energy out there? You will never be able to ship that amount from Earth.

2. Warming Mars surface is only one tiny piece of the terraforming puzzle. Why did Mars lose its atmosphere eons ago? Because its magnetic field shut down and the solar wind stripped its atmosphere. Good luck restarting or even substituting the magnetic dynamo required.
