Well, he certainly advised them ON nuking it anyway. Joel Send a noteboard - 05/12/2012 10:50:32 PM
The part I read only says Sagan contributed to calculations regarding the effects on dust on the moon.

And it surely fits the "nuke Mars for terraforming" idea he pushed in the '80s. Personally I always thought that a Trojan horse for nuclear disarmament, but it was pretty wacky on any basis—yet it made the only sense I could find in this story featuring his name in a plan to nuke the moon.

Mars can retain Oxygen just fine, and this isn't exactly new Isaac - 03/12/2012 12:25:14 AM 664 Views
It does not seem to be doing a very good job of it; Mars' atmosphere is ~0.1% O2. Joel - 06/12/2012 12:16:16 AM 722 Views
There's a difference between retaining added and not having any Isaac - 06/12/2012 01:44:56 AM 659 Views
Not practically. Joel - 07/12/2012 02:27:02 AM 1313 Views
Yes, practically... I wouldn't mind you lecturing me on my own field if you got the stuff right Isaac - 07/12/2012 04:19:29 AM 712 Views
Am I missing something? Nate - 03/12/2012 08:18:25 PM 744 Views
Perhaps Sagans subsequent suggestion we nuke Mars to make it habitable. Joel - 05/12/2012 11:00:08 PM 741 Views

I am crediting professional writers with too much writing skill? Joel - 06/12/2012 12:24:49 AM 733 Views
I agree with Nate, lots of Journalists are very lazy and the science writers tend to be the worst Isaac - 06/12/2012 01:55:16 AM 605 Views
Poor research is unprofessional journalism. Joel - 07/12/2012 02:31:53 AM 607 Views
I must have missed the part where Sagan advised them to nuke the moon to win. Narg - 04/12/2012 05:47:36 PM 650 Views
