Soooo, the, “why,” of this CT is that it would look really cool. ---

> [@solost](#): > > Warming up Mars to make it more hospitable for colonization? Don’t be ridiculous. While of course this would be a side effect of the process—one which edge lord genius Elon Musk has foreseen and is seeking to surreptitiously take advantage of—the real reason is global warming. Or rather, the global warming bandwagon _hoax_ that all these NASA wokes jumped onto thinking it would make their careers. They’re shaking in their boots at the prospect that, when Trump takes back our country and puts the kibosh on their co-conspirators in NOAA, he’ll come after them next. So if global warming is a hoax, they need to work hard to make it _not a hoax_. How are they going to do that? By creating a second sun to heat up the Earth’s atmosphere. But, like, for real this time. Be afraid people. Be very afraid. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > The sun is approximately 150 billion miles away and still its aberrations effect the Earth. Jupiter is only 500 million miles away, and Mars is 150 million miles away. Does anyone affiliated with this say how a sun is created on either planet without destroying us like gummy bears in a microwave? The Earth is too far for a stellarized Jupiter to have much measurable effect on climate. The gravitational influence would of course not change. It would certainly be the new brightest star in the sky, but not enough to cast shadows at night. The additional solar wind might have interesting effects though it’s hard to imagine what. Bigger aurora at lower latitudes, maybe ozone depletion and electromagnetic effects from that. ---

> [@Wheelz](#): > > “FoLLoW tHE mONey!!!1!!!11!!” Well, you know the old joke about two corrupt constructors comparing notes, and one remarks that he has cut every corner, mixed desert sand into the concrete, etc., so can’t understand how his colleague is stil able to scam vastly more money. The other replies, “See those two bridges over there?” — “…no?” — “Exactly.” ---

I remember reading the webpage of some idiot flat earther. The motivation of the powers that promote the false idea of a globe earth had something to do with being evil athiests. You know, bad guys doing bad guy stuff. ---
