One of the factors that makes the use of nanorods a potential success is that the surface of Mars is covered with dust made from the reflective metals needed for the process. Harvesting aluminum and iron from the surface dust on Mars to manufacture the millions of tons of space glitter necessary to warm the planet up seems like a wacky idea, especially given that the manufacture of nanorods would need to happen somewhere on or near Mars.
However, when compared to the undertaking required to bring huge amounts of gasses, explosives, or other materials from Earth, it’s a simple solution.
