Life on Mars - the near future?

 It seems that the idea of colonizing Mars, formerly heating only science fiction creators and fans of the imagination, has now become the subject of serious research. Recently, on this hypothetical human residence in the Red planet the opportunity to talk more and more often. True, the problem is that newcomers Mars does not intend to meet people inhabitable conditions. However, there are those who believe that the planet - quite a good place to raise children, and that it is necessary to accommodate other planets that mankind will become extinct. So entirely possible that after a decade on Mars the first people to live in.

 It is important to keep the race?2014 April about the Red Planet accommodation publicly said the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) leader Charles Bolden. According to him, if we want the human race to survive we have to accommodate and other planets. According to Ch. Bolden, Mars is the first stop. It is argued that this language NASA manager said after some US Congress members expressed doubts such space missions importance of funding. NASA claims that they increase the research and production capacity, and is preparing to send people on an asteroid by 2025. And to Mars by 2030.In the first stage of preparation will seek to reduce passenger and cargo lifting in Earth orbit costs. It is stated that various US companies are already involved in this space race. The second phase will seek to acquire essential basics needed for future travel to the moon and Mars. Later, it will be tested spaceship Orion. At present the launch of its system-Earth orbit. Then it is intended to land on the asteroid, which will be captured and directed to the lunar orbit. Finally, the Agency will seek to colonize Mars. It is argued that this will help to explore the planet and its immediate environment.  

 4 major interference

 Not suitable to live?

Mars - the closest to the Earth in very similar to the planet. It has an atmosphere where the raging winds, shifting clouds and the day length is very similar to ours - 24 hours. and 37 min. It is argued that this planet has even the seasons change. However, for people to live it inappropriate. Why?It is argued that Mars is geologically dead planet. Although there are plenty of volcanoes and evidence that once upon a time there was a tectonic activity, but now nothing is happening. In addition, there are no air pressure to cause the water. What's more - the red planet suffer from harmful solar winds, because of its magnetic field is very weak. Finally, the Martian atmosphere is very rare, so the planet's surface temperature during the day dramatically changing: day can warm up to +20 at night to cool to -100 ° C. In order to make Mars habitable planet, should take into account all these factors.The carbon dioxide-rich air saturated with oxygen may be possible by using plants. However, Mars is still not suitable magnetic field, so people on the solar radiation received just lethal radiation doses. Studies show that the polar ice caps of Mars still has enough magnetic field residue and are protected from solar radiation. 

It's too expensive

NASA may actually create a vehicle that succeed take volunteers to Mars. This is what was Orion spacecraft developers, while the funding for the project in 2010 has been drastically trimmed President Barack Obama. So if this project will be closed by NASA, to be able to finance only the private sector. True, it seems beyond comprehension that a trip to Mars ever economically rewarding. Some experts believe that this trip would cost hundreds of billions of dollars.It contributes to the high cost and the fact that the trip should be sent several spacecraft. One should only transport fuel and supplies needed to return to Earth. True, there are supporting the radical idea that the whole is not worth the return. So people get a ticket just to one side. Some experts argue that such a plan would reduce travel costs by about 10 times. 

health threats

It is argued that the trip to Mars would last from 7 months to a year. Can you imagine what it would be little time to spend in the cramped space craft? As this trip would affect volunteers psyche? Even trained men and women trained astronauts will undoubtedly be faced with psychological problems. But this is only part of the problem. For even experienced weightlessness astronauts being exposed to a variety of health problems.Long weightlessness can lead to muscle loss, weakening of the bones. Decreased bone density may be a serious problem when a person again have to deal with gravity. In addition, long experiencing this state, causes cardiovascular activity. True, these ailments helps reduce the sport. However, though, such as the International Space Station astronauts living half of daily exercise after 2 hrs., Still complain of reduced bone density. 

Who would want to live in the desert?

Mars is not really picturesque galaxy planet. It is neither the plant nor the water, so the view from the windows of a gloomy portrait. Imagining life in the desert, where the day is about -23 ° C?Living conditions are essentially the same as those portrayed in movies or sci-fi futuristic described in the books. It would be to live in a space station together with other volunteers or the cramped dome-shaped hut (if a futuristic capsule could be called the house). After the planet could only walk with the spacesuit. However, even if you succeed to change the Martian atmosphere so that the plants grow here and to be able to walk without sealed costume, this planet would still be very cold, but because of the weaker gravity than Earth people suffering from muscle atrophy and bone loss. 200 000 volunteers?Dutch organization "Mars One" set in 2024. flown to Mars, the first 4 people - 2 men and 2 women. True, its representatives offer tickets only to one side and said that, despite the harsh conditions of life in the Red Planet, a ticket wanted to get more than 200 000 people. In the sample could have all persons 18 years of age. At the end of 2013, Mars One representatives announced that selected 1,058 volunteers who will be able to continue to participate in the selection. 2014. 5 May. the company's Web site announced that the volunteer list narrowed to 705 persons. They were selected for evaluation of health status. Now volunteers will participate in a personal interview. Officially announced that the sample remained in America 313 187 Europe, 136 in Asia, 41 in Africa and 28 in Oceania residents.
