What are the problems of sustaining life on mars?

Answer 1

As above, the water, atmostpheric pressure, and temperature aren't concducive to human life. But there's another issue: response time. Right now, we have the technology to build a station on Mars. But if something went wrong, it would take us two or three years to get a repairman there!

Because it takes so long to get there, any settlement on Mars would have to be COMPLETELY self-sustaining, and that's what's really holding us up. (We couldn't even keep the International Space Station going as long as it should have).

Answer 2

To sustain life on Mars you will need an atmosphere same as the earth. The plant life over there can be grown to an extent as it is sort off highly alkaline and an advantage of not being acidic. With genetics there can be plant life supported easily. The temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold . ( around 55 degrees c to 70 ) So you will be needing a better clothing. With great knowledge in biotech and chemistry and a little bit of physics. Life can be supported on Mars as there is no other planet which has earth like qualities.

Answer 3

There is no liquid water on Mars and no magnetic field to protect it from solar radiation. We know that there was water on Mars billions of years ago, before the magnetic field disappeared, and scientists speculate that there may once have been life.

Answer 4

There Would Be Volcanos And Bad Air On Mars.

Answer 5

It's not capable to sustain life, the environment is too harsh, too hot, and there is no water or vegetation.

Answer 6

Lack of oxygen, water, and less sunlight than the Earth. A huge plastic bubble could solve.

Answer 7

Oxygen water more of a solid surface
