Whether you could get a decent explosion out of it i don't know but still. And i thought the idea was that the story told by the other two survivors (setting off the self destruct to save the world) inspired a legacy. In the original timeline the legacy was inspired by the journey and the mystery of the explosion. I admit it's ropey but like a lot of RTD's scripts i enjoy it too much to really be bothered by the holes ;) The wife pointed out the atmosphere thing and I had to point out that actually Mars does have an atmosphere, it’s just thin and mostly CO2.

I refuse to believe the future wouldn't have turned out any differently just because she died on earth rather than Mars, what incentive would the daughter have to 'look for her mother in space' if she was found dead in her own flat. Gadget annoyed me as it seemed like another pointless 'how's the doctor going to get the tardis back this time, oh wait, of course - the robot'. I will choose to overlook the fact there is no way there could be an explosion like that on Mars, let alone that we heard it on a planet with no atmosphere. I would have preferred it to have ended with the doctor leaving them to die on Mars, and it is that which 'sends him off the edge' Ramble over.

For a moment, I really thought doctor could take such a big risk by saving Adelaide and and get away with it.
