There are numerous sites dedicated to terraforming, unfortunately, most are preoccupied with Mars. Very few sites move beyond logistics and 3D rendered graphics to realise one simple fact: Mars can't be terraformed. Not for a lack of technology, but a significant lack of gravity. This oversight has created a lot of misunderstanding about terraforming and its potential in future space exploration. It's important to understand the difference between terraforming and caeliforming. Caeliforming is the creation of an Earth-like atmosphere, while terraforming is the attempt to recreate Earth.
