Recent explorations of Mars have been inexhaustible. Adriana Jefferies analyzed the details of the settlement of Mars in this week’s “Great Future†section, including food transportation, radiation protection, and so on. Now, there are still many problems in setting up Mars, but it is worthwhile for us to think of some ways to solve these problems. Artistar , https://www.cn-artistar.com
The first problem to be solved is that we can use the ice on Mars to get water. The most exciting news came when humans discovered ice on Mars. There is even evidence that ice was originally in the form of liquid water. If the Mars colony is located near a glacier, humans may turn ice into potable water and breathable air. Of course, it will take a long time to meet the basic needs of the early colonies.
Second, it is to solve the problem of food production. However, relying on current technology still cannot solve such problems. Even the most promising Mars colonies must rely on transporting food from the earth to them. Really promising colonies must establish a self-sufficient food chain, which requires technological innovation in the human industrial or agricultural field.
The background radiation on Mars is thousands of times higher than Earth's, so even if we can successfully solve all other problems, people living on Mars may not be able to live for a long time, and their lives will be shorter than those on Earth. The disease will also increase. Human development has not evolved to adapt to the Martian environment.
