Why would you want to live on Mars?

Answer 1

When Mars is deemed hospitable for human life, a person might want to live there to gain an extra 40 minutes each day. Many people like the excitement of being a pioneer on a new world and moving to Mars would help to ease the overcrowding on Earth.

Answer 2

people might want to live there because it would be a great honur to be one of the first people going to live there moreover the conditions of the earth are worsening day by day so,people can hope for a better lifestyle there

Answer 3

because yo wouldn't be able to breathe. Two suggested ways to produce oxygen are to melt the polar ice that's deep underground so that it releases the trapped oxygen and/or to have gigantic greenhouses (and how to keep those plants alive). However Mars cannot hold a CO2 and Oxygen atmosphere for very long as it's such a small planet, eventually those elements would escape into space (not very long is relative, we're talking possibly millions of years here).

The best solution with our technology is to live in a relatively small surface station and use electrolysis on water to split it into oxygen and hydrogen gas. That is how the ISS produces oxygen, as well as a secondary system of pressurized tanks of oxygen. Here on Earth, oxygen is 21% of the atmosphere at sea level. It's important to maintain a proper balance.

Another hurdle is the solar radiation humans would be exposed to since Mars has a very weak electromagnetic field. That may prove the more difficult problem to overcome. The ISS, and other station in the past, have been so low in the atmosphere that Earth's EM field protects them for the most part (although there are times when radiation levels rise and they have to take shelter in a more shielded area of the station). We see on the movie Total Recall, that after the planet was populated with oxygen, people went outside the station onto the surface. In reality, that would be a bad idea.

Answer 4

Living on Mars could expand human knowledge of space exploration, provide opportunities for scientific research, and potentially serve as a backup plan for human survival in case of any catastrophic event on Earth. Additionally, some people may be interested in the challenge and adventure of living on another planet.

Answer 5

because there is no water on mars so no one can live there you need water to live

Answer 6

because mars is awesome
