| hatmoza said: Very fascinating. You will definitely need engineers and doctors up their to repair design and treat the ill. Then I started thinking... wait, can we even treat any diseases out there? We don't even know what kind of micro organisms are on Mars. Probably create new diseases we've never seen before. What about radiation? I guess these structures are going to be radiation proof. But what fun is that if they aren't gonna explore the surface? |
Most of the missions to Mars have involved looking for micro-organisms. I haven't really kept up with the news but I don't think any have been found alive (but traces of them have or something)
2023 seems quite soon considering there isn't even a lunar base planned yet.... Mars is 120 times further away than the Moon at it's closest. Having said that, the Moon doesn't spin very fast so I believe it is probably not suitable for our current efforts at life support. The reason we always see the same face of the Moon from Earth is because it takes the same time to rotate as it does to circle the planet... this means any Moon habitation would have to be able to keep itself warm for 14 days before the Sun comes up again. Mars meanwhile has an Earthlike 24h 39m day.
Anyhow: LET'S POPULATE MARS!
