Springtime on Mars: Terraforming the Red Planet

Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/
Colonizing Mars and terraforming it to be a comfortable future home for humanity is quite the challenge. How would we go about it and how close is close enough for our purposes? How would we let life grow on the open surface of Mars and how would we give air and water and potentially even alter its day, year, and gravity?
