Or dump it and water on Mars. Terraforming in action.

Please don't make me want to thump you for cretinism !

It's a somewhat real suggestion. Enough CO2 would create an atmosphere,
warmth and protect the planet. Plants would convert the CO2 to O2, fixing
carbon.

Of course it's a long way to haul gas.

Somehow I think Mars has a problem of insufficient gravity to hold onto
a good atmosphere.

Huh? You are thinking of the moon. Mars HAS an atmosphere already.
Mostly CO2. Where do you think the 200MPH winds come from? Then,
there's those cool purple sunsets!

Some extremely thin one comprised mostly of CO2. They get a few dust
storms.
Put much oxygen there with its lower molecular weight especially in the
case of a thermosphere, and see how long it stays. Maybe millennia, maybe
a bit more, ???
