Well where should first crew on Mars should live i.e. where should we build the base camps on Mars ? Well I think the base camps for the first crew should be built in the region of Utopia Plantia which is the largest impact basin on the planet Mars.                                                                      Mars But why in Utopia Plantia ?                                                           Ice In Utopia Plantia Well there is a huge amount of underground ice in the region of Utopia Plantia the volume of ice is equivalent to the volume of water in Lake Superior which is 12100 km^2 and the underground water could be used by the astronauts that will go on ...

Challenges in Mars Colonization

There are a number of challenges we have to overcome if we want to colonize Mars Food Well One of the basic requirement to be alive on Mars would be food as astronauts cannot take a lot of food with them to planet Mars, They have to create food on Mars.In the Movie "The Martian" grew potatoes in a controlled environment in the Martian Soil though Martian soil contains the basic nutrients required for a plant's growth  and most importantly water and if you will heat one cubic feet of martian soil then you will get one liter of water. Oxygen Oxygen is vital for human survival and Martian atmosphere contain just 0.13% oxygen on the planet Mars so we need to create oxygen on planet Mars maybe it can be created by using cynobacteria which first created oxygen n earth. Water A human can survive for several days without food but not without water but is there enough water on Mars ? Well it is trapped in the poles of Mars,Water ice equal to the volume of lake superior is in the U...

Why it is necessary to colonize Mars ?

Well humans interest towards Mars is not new once it was believed that there were canals and martins(natives of mars,people of mars) on Mars but however that was a misconception but in the year of 1952 Dr Wernher Von Braun published a science fiction book Das Marsprojekt about a manned mission to the planet Mars  with a provisional launch date of 1965 however by the 1969 humans have only reached the moon but the interest towards mars never died and the with the advancements in the technology we now know better about Mars and now we have set plans to colonize the planet Mars. But why is colonization necessary ?   Well because it may serve as a backup planet for example if there is any natural disaster on the planet earth for example a huge meteoroid hitting the planet of earth then if we have technology for interplanetary travel plus another colonized planet other than earth then mankind can save itself from dying and can exist forever.  But why Mars ? Well Mars ...
