Living on Mars
Mars receives only 43% of the sunshine that Earth does, but
has no magnetosphere or ozone layer to block radiation.
Why would we want to
live on other worlds?
Cold!
Very thin and toxic atmo.
Water frozen solid.
High radiation.
Low gravity.
Long way from home.
No shops!
What will we need to
live on Mars?
Nuclear: problematic on
Earth, even worse on Mars.
Also, would have to find
uranium.
Solar: possible, but less
sunlight on Mars.
Wind! Lots of wind on Mars;
the air is thin, but high-
speed.
