Can Humans Live On Mars?

Mars, that big red fleck in the sky, has captured the imagination of humans ever since we first laid eyes on the Red Planet. While Galileo Galilee is credited with discovering the earth in 1610, there’' s really no way of knowing exactly when Mars was first discovered, since it has been proved for over times. 

 The first successful flyby of the earth was in July 1965, when NASA transferred the Mariner 4 inquiry to take film-land of the earth via the onboard TV camera. The 8-month passage to Mars redounded in Mariner 4 getting the first spacecraft to route another earth. Since also, Mars has had its own particular Peeping Tom and not one moment of peace. 

 Presently, there are 8 spacecraft (that we know of) either on or ringing Mars. But, the big question is, when do we stop spending our time (and millions of bones) gaping at it and actually go there? While formerly considered the stuff of wisdom fabrication, thanks to the advancements in technology (and Elon Musk’' s brilliance), putting humans on the Red Planet could come a reality that we witness in our continuance. 

The answer to the question, “"can humans live on Mars"”, isn't a simple yea or no. The Red Planet has divided humans into two distinct groups; those who want to explore other globes, either to foster the mortal race, (or find little green men), and those who are skeptical about leaving our current home for a cold, desolate, and desert-suchlike world (of little green men). 

Why Mars?

While the stopgap for life in this lonely macrocosm is doubtful to be plant on Martian soil, it’' s easy to see why numerous folks are looking for ways to get to Mars and do what we humans do best-– populate it. There are numerous reasons why Mars makes it to the top of the veritably short list of globes that humans could essay to populate. 

 For starters (and the main reason, enough much), Mars still has an atmosphere and a temperature that could maintain liquid water on the face. In fact, scientists have formerly plant signs of water buried underneath the Martian face. 

Problems That Humans Will Face on Mars?

First out, Mars doesn't have a glamorous field, or an ozone sub-caste. The lack of the ultimate means that ultraviolet shafts can fluently access its atmosphere. This means that radiation is times advanced on Mars as compared to our own earth and that radiation isn't just coming from the sun, but also from commodity called galactic cosmic shafts. 

 These GCRs can be incredibly nasty and extremely delicate to shield from. Still, scientists are certain that the thin Martian atmosphere would offer some protection from the radiation, and the structures that the first explorers would live in would have to be incompletely covered with Martian soil that will also help absorb the radiation. 

 Also, there’' s the temperature. On Mars, the average temperature is minus 64 degrees Celsius. 

 So, piecemeal from the soil- covered living structures, enduring temperatures, and the lack of a bowling alley, what other challenges could we face on Mars? 

. The chemistry of life is simple. In order to survive, humans need oxygen, food, and water. According to experts, in order to sustain life on Mars, we'd need 200 square measures of growing space within the settler'’s niche to cultivate crops. This would increase oxygen situations to an unsafe quantum, taking anon-stop force of nitrogen gas to reduce the position of oxygen from reaching the fire safety threshold. 

 Of course, the quantum of nitrogen in the tanks would deplete, performing in a drop in atmospheric pressure in our mortal- made niche on Mars. This would ultimately suffocate the first explorers within an estimated 68 days. Not veritably encouraging for those wishing they were the first settlers on Mars. 

 But, that’' s not the only challenge faced by the first explorers to Mars. One of the major enterprises that have left scientists scratching their heads is how the mortal body is going to respond to an terrain that’' s one-third or one- half of the graveness of Earth. NASA is formerly privy to the changes that astronauts on the International Space Station go through while living in an terrain with little graveness. While the negative impact on bones and muscles have been well proved, there are still other anomalies that scientists aren’'t familiar with. 

What Can We Do?

While Mars might not be suitable to sustain a large population of humans, visiting the Red Planet would be more helpful in letting us learn further about how life on the mysterious earth workshop. Who knows, in time, the two- story drum can that jewels and groans in the wind could be replaced with further tone-sufficient living diggings, laboratory and engineering spaces, and better food options (seriously, if there’' s no rubbish, I ’m not going!). 

 But first, we still have to get there. Presently, there’' s no safe way to travel from Earth to Mars (yes, we’' re looking at you, Elon). Space disquisition has always been dangerous. Indeed after 50 times of transferring humans into space, it still remains a challenge. Indeed the fewest mistake can have disastrous consequences, which is why the real challenge lies in relating the pitfalls in every step of the charge. 

 Those hard- earned perceptivity on living on Mars will be critical to the survival of all unborn explorers of space –-the final frontier. 

Conclusion

While this all might feel like a pipe dream, there will come a time when our own earth’' s sky will turn red and black with soot; when the shops will be ripped off their roots by raging storms and the sun will grow uncomfortably hotter. At that time, people will start to consider a better place, any place to survive. 

 Only also, it'll be too late. So, at the end of the day, populating other globes could be the only thing that’' s standing between the mortal race and extermination, and Mars seems like a good place to start.
