So what exactly is going on in the Martian atmosphere?
1.2 our resources (or at least a 1/3) are being taken there.

"1.2 our resources (or at least a 1/3) are being taken there."
Plain and simple: 1.2 or at least 1/3 of your sanity has been taken, too.
Goomy pls
For some reason, I find this highly doubtful and a rather stupid idea, but someone here who is more educated than I am on this subject might enlighten me further on how wrong (or right) this is.
It takes around 5-6 hundred tons of rocket fuel to launch 4-6 tons of payload to transfer orbit. I'm not taking into account everything else such as rockets themselves, space tugs, martian landers, etc. There just isn't enaugh raw materials in the whole world to produce enaugh fuel to send "at least 1/3 of Earth's resources to Mars". And the ratio 1/3 sounds outstandingly ridiculous by itself. Even if we only count valuable resources such as water, metals and oil such a loss of mass would have taken effect on Earth gravity. Let alone such an act would have technically destroyed Earth's ecosystem in process. Not to say that it's not nearly possible by hands of man in any practical period of time. Just think how much time it would have required to launch said "1/3 of resources" by portions of 6 tons each. It's only some catastrophical celestial colision (such as with a large asteroid) that is able to separate and launch so much mass into space in a short period of time.
To sum it up, it's the Law of conservation of matter and energy we're talking about. Even if there were a super-teleporter able to send stuff to Mars it still would have potentially required roughly the same order of power to oprate and/or would have been of an unimaginably gargantuan size and/or would have operated extremely slowly. No way to avoid one of the most principal laws of nature.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
