We should be dropping bags of extremophile organisms into the Martian atmosphere to get a start on terraforming it.

Mars is super short of hydrogen (and lacks the magnetic field to guard it). We'd need to crash a bunch of ice asteroids into it to get in the water and heat it up, then there could be a stab at terraforming it. So far we seem to be more likely to marsaform Earth.
