Difficult conditions and huge costs for humans to live on Mars

Difficult conditions and huge costs for human habitation on Mars
Humanity has long dreamed of colonizing the planet Mars and starting life there. Zamin.uz reports on this.

However, the reality is that the harsh and extremely difficult conditions on the Red Planet make building affordable and comfortable housing there very challenging. International news sources are drawing attention with their reports on this matter.

The average temperature on Mars is around minus sixty degrees Celsius, and the atmospheric pressure is one hundred times lower than that of Earth. Therefore, stepping onto the planet's surface without a special spacesuit would immediately put a person at risk and could even lead to death.

Scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States have calculated how much effort and funding would be required to transform Mars into a place where humans can live. The results are disheartening, as more than one quadrillion kilograms of carbon dioxide would need to be brought from other locations to make the atmosphere similar to Earth's.

After that, atmospheric layers would need to be created to protect against strong radiation, and the entire planet would need to be heated. Oxygen could only be obtained from underground water reserves and polar ice caps.

The entire complex process would require at least three hundred eighty terawatts of energy. For comparison, it should be noted that the entire population of Earth consumes less than three and a half terawatts of energy per year.

Even if this work is successfully completed, there is no guarantee that the newly created atmosphere will remain stable in place and not escape into space. Until technology develops sufficiently, humans may be forced to live in remotely controlled robots capable of withstanding the cold or in small modules with a special environment.

At the same time, experts are reminding us to take better care of Earth, as it remains our only and precious home.
