Project Noah: Blue Mars
Set in the 23rd Century, space tourism has matured. The scientists gathered at a summit to discuss plans for terraforming Mars, therefore the Mars colonists living inside a temporary biosphere will have to be evacuated. The plan is called "Project Noah" using unmanned robots to capture comets and hurl/divert them towards Mars, the idea is since comets contain lots of frozen water and other gases we can burn/melt them during entry and extra atmosphere to improve greenhouse effect for precipitation. My question is, assuming by then we have the technology, can this plan work to bring rivers and seas to Mars?
