he couldnt have been serious or is being taken out of context.. thats an attempt to get a denser atmosphere, but there’s no magnetic field to protect it, or humans.

Yeah i might be wrong but it was something about releasing greenhouse gasses it would make mars better ? Idk I’m just rambling.

theres frozen co2 at the poles, throwing a bomb at them would release some but its pointless

It would take millennia to reduce the atmosphere again.

So thickening the atmosphere would definitely work. It wouldn't be stripped immediately.
