Life on Mars

According to scientists Mars is the most reliable option to maintain human life since it is the planet closest to Earth. In 1877, the Italian Giovanni Schiaparelli made a map of the Mars surface, some changes such as oxygen and carbon dioxide must6%, and contains traces of oxygen, water and methane, being very different from that of the planet Earth, since the atmosphere of the Earth is a mixture of nitrogen 78%, oxygen 21%, and other gases that represent 1%,Like carbon dioxide, these gases surround the earth. Between Earth and Mars we can find different aspects.

 What differences and similarities can we find between one planet and the other?

On Mars there is not enough water so that a human can survive so it would needBeing able to purify carbon dioxide and obtain oxygen, for crops it would be necessarymarkets, banks etc. These would have to be connected to a plant with light and oxygen, to be able to be at home or greenhouse without a suit, to leave your home there would have to be different costumes depending on the station where they are, in summer the temperaturesThey are maximum are up to 20ºC and in winter they reach -140ºC. On the other hand, the earth has none of the previous problems since it has enough water, light, oxygen and gravity. The severity on Mars is 3.711 m/s² while on Earth is 9.807 m/s², on Mars the gravity is lower since it has less mass than the earth, the severity on the surface of Mars is only 38% of the Earth, so if you weigh 100 pounds on earth, you would regretOnly 38 pounds on Mars.

Many people ask Is there life on Mars? The answer is ambiguous since there are people who may think that if there is life on Mars as there are people who may think no. If there were life on Mars, we would assume that it would be a cell life because the first living being has not yet been found that fed carbon dioxide except for plants, if there were living beings on Mars the "aliens" imagined would have a respiratory systemDifferent to the human being, since its system adapted for the planet in which they live, it would be very similar to that of a plant because the plants feed on carbon dioxide.

What would life be like on Mars? 

In order to achieve life on Mars, there would have to be many changes to face the different challenges that an environment as different from that of Earth presents us, challenges on such simple issues, for which we should developer greenhouses where we artificially control the atmosphereTo have oxygen. Inside they would be necessary to have electric plants that allow us to control the temperature and allow ourselves to have appliances that let us live in similar conditions, but better than we have on earth.

 This leads to another challenge, such as generating electricity on a planet that does not have rivers that allow building hydroelectric plants and where we know without fossil fuel reserves such as oil or coal? We would have to resort to new energy sources and I think we should resort to the only abundant and available energy throughout the solar systems, the sun!, that through panels would allow us to store their power in batteries.

 Here is another challenge, as we are going to bring batteries large enough to store enough energy to pass the winter periods in which the temperature can reach -140ºC, if in Bogotá to spend a cold night of 0ºC we need heating with high consumptionof energy, for -140ºC the requirements must be huge. To get out of the greenhouse it would be necessaryIt would be open spaces without any projection or breathable air, but we should have supply points for our oxygen tanks that feed the suits, so that every time you stay without oxygen you could go to different oxygen points located throughout the city to fill outthe tanks.

 There will be different costumes, some for winter and others for summer since when it is 20ºC you will not have to wear a thermal suit but you can use one that is fresh, that allows the air to circulate through the body, but always having the face isolated toAvoid poisoning with carbon dioxide and in winter you can use a thermal. Another interesting challenge is like making people supply their buying daily, it would be a capitalist society? Where people have to work for purchase or a society where everyone works for the community to achieve the survival of the human species in these hostile conditions, we will surely have to put shopping centers or supermarkets, they could also be located in greenhouses. Now to buy they must develop a currency that can be changed by food and that to achieve it is necessary to give work in return, it sounds quite similar to the land monetary system.

In conclusion, living on Mars is an entrepreneurship full of challenges, which will demand a lot.
