Before delving into calculations, we had to make several key assumptions and determine our desired terraforming conditions. We assumed the atmosphere to be an isotropic ideal gas, and chose to fix the terraformed surface temperature at 300 K. Using our 1 bar surface pressure terraforming condition, the ideal gas law, and scale height equation, we calculated surface conditions for TerraMars and compared those values to Mars’s current surface conditions.  We also chose the chemical composition of our new TerrAtmosphere. Mars’s current atmosphere is 96\% CO2, CO$_2$,  so it would be unrealistic to make the surface air breathable to humans using water vapor alone. Since we are estimating the minimum amount of energy required to terraform Mars, we decided to fix our TerrAtmosphere goal and calculate the additional mass and energy needed to obtain our desired TerrAtmosphere composition of 70\% C02, C0$_2$,  26\% H20 H$_2$0  vapor, and 4\% everything else, including nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. This is certainly a large amount of water vapor, but it would allow for precipitation and potentially better conditions for bringing terrestrial plants to Mars. \begin{table}   \caption{Atmospheric Quantities}
