Hallo, zwei Fragen an all die Astro-Cracks hier im Saal zu folgendem Artikel ->
Tech billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk founded SpaceX to design a new generation space technology and has made it known that he wishes to die on Mars. Recently, Musk almost broke the Internet when he said that the "fast way" to make Mars habitable for mankind would be to drop thermonuclear weapons over the poles to heat the planet up. After Mr. Musk's statements, the entire scientific community instantly had to change their underwear before screaming as loud as possible that indiscriminately lobbing nuclear devices at any planet is a bad idea.
Musk later went on to elaborate more, and when his idea is expanded on, it sounds incrementally less insane than originally stated. Musk wants to detonate a few nuclear devices over the glacial poles of Mars. The plans is that the radiation would—hopefully—stay in space while the heat from the blast would melt the polar ice caps and begin the process of warming up Mars. Even if Musk was able to get his hands on a few thermonuclear devices, the man is a real-life Bond villain at this point, and there's no easy or clean way of stopping him. Sometimes the best way to face a problem really is to nuke it from orbit, because at the end of the day, it's the only way to be sure.

Wäre das tatsächlich möglich und welche Auswirkungen hätte das? Es geht mir nicht darum, ob man das darf oder soll, sondern, wie realistisch so ein Unternehmen langfristig gesehen wäre.
Danke im voraus
