RE: How would the low gravity of MARS affect the colonists' bodies and genomes and how can we fight it - Colonization of MARS Series
Hey @alexdory, thank you for your contributions!
This Colonization of Mars Series of yours is very interesting. I think creating a sufficient atmospheric layer on the red planet's surface in order to sustain life and protect living organisms from radiation is one of the biggest challenges regarding this endeavour.
I was impressed by the mutations observed in generations of microorganisms as they get used to microgravity. I also must admit I had never thought of the total chaos regarding our senses as a result of the significant changes in gravitational pull on our way to the red planet and while we're there. Mind blowing!
Please keep up the quality work!
Thanks a lot, I also think that manipulating the atmosphere will be the best way to fully develop settlements on Mars, but we are far from even sending a single person there :) I know SpaceX said that in 2022-2024 we will have the first people on Mars but I am still wondering if it will actually be possible without postponing it to 2030 when NASA will prepare to send a similar mission.
There is a lot to figure out and a lot of research needs to be done once people get there for the first time.
It will be the greatest human endeavour!
