Terraforming Mars

I have devised a couple of methods that may work to help get plenty of water on Mars' surface as to allow for the future support of life.

1) This method is hypothetical...
There is been a rumor spreading that people have found ice on Mars in the regions of the North Pole. If this truly is the case, and is not a hoax...then this makes things very easy. Just send up a device that can melt that ice and let it flow around the planet. Give it time to settle...then when some ponds form and soak the areas around them...plant some trees, bushes, flowers, etc. Do this to as many spots as possible. The plants will convert the CO2 into O2. They will reproduce, and start doing it more. If we really want, we can pump some of out Nitrogen out there, but that is just being picky. Give it several years, and there should be plenty of oxygen. Hopefully Mars has enough gravity to hold the Oxygen on the surface.
There are many little details that could be discussed or need to be worked out...but it still seems like a good idea to me.

2) The method I thought of before hearing about the ice on Mars....
Basically...we need to get some water to Mars, but everyone keeps saying that Water is too heavy and we would never get off the ground with very much at a time.
Ok...so hear is my plan.
Build a very large collapsible container. You could possibly make it inflatable. It must be collapsible because you need to be able to reduce it to fit on the ship. Also, create some very light-weight hose capable of withholding water. You may want to make the diameter of the hose relatively thin to save space...because you need say...about...100 miles worth or more.
These are your two major payloads, other than food, supplies, and fuel.
Now...blast into space.
Enter into a geo-synchronous orbit at a point directly "above" a pumping station designed specifically for the purpose of pumping water for this project. Lower the hose. Attach the hose. The pumping station must be capable of pumping the water into space. This may require a lot of power, due to the water pressure pushing back.
Build the container. Attach the other end of the hose to the container. The ship needs to be connected to the container for the purposes of ensuring it does not fall back to Earth. If gravity starts pulling down too much..kick in some slight boosters. We MUST maintain the exact same location.
Start the pump. Pump as much water up as you want! We have plenty to spare.
When you get several million gallons, or however much you want...Kick it in gear and head off to Mars. Drop the water on Mars, let it settle some...plant some plants...give it time.

Any of this make sense?
