How do the births on Mars lead to terrible consequences?
NASA experts warn cosmic radiation on the surface of the "red planet" will lead to mutations in the fetus while also causing problems with the development of the child's bones and muscles.
Billionaire Tesla Elon Musk recently invited NASA members and top scholars to discuss living on Mars - Earth's "neighbor" - within the next 40 to 100 years. But considering reforming Mars into a new human home will need to take into account the fertility as well as the dangers of having a baby on a planet with many mysteries like Mars.
Dr. John Millis, a physicist and astronomer funded by NASA, shared with The Sun Online that cosmic radiation on the planet's surface will lead to mutations in the fetus.
He said: 'One of the major challenges for human missions on Mars is that the more time astronauts spend on this planet, the more radiation they will expose.'
'Similarly, once set foot on the surface of Mars, the design and construction of a living environment will be crucial to the success of the mission because of the radiation concerns on the surface of the red information - because the atmosphere or magnetic field in Mars is very weak '.
'For the fetus in the process of formation and development, the higher the level of radiation, the more likely it is to cause deformations and cell mutations, most likely the pregnancy will end before term'.
Cosmic radiation will cause mutations in the fetus.
But not only is the mother and baby at risk, American biologists Haley Schuster and Steven L. Peck wrote: 'A pregnant astronaut in the process of implementing the Martian mission will' order Crew set 'into dangerous situations'.
Two scientists, from Brigham Young University in Utah, believe that resources such as medical supplies, oxygen and food will be used up by the mother and child in the abdomen.
In fact, they believe that pregnancy in a mission on Mars will be so dangerous that 'sterilization of permanent or temporary astronauts' will be taken seriously and thoroughly.
Another challenge faced by the mother and crew is the lack of gravity on the 'red planet' and its impact on the child.
Gravity on Mars is only 40% of the gravity on Earth, which can lead to baby's bone development problems, Dr. Millis said.
Micro-gravity environments can cause bone and muscle degeneration, which is why astronauts must exercise regularly , he added.
Dr. Schuster and Dr. Peck, who studied the impact of pregnancy on mission on Mars, also agreed that babies would develop 'abnormally' in a gravity-free environment.
They wrote: 'Studies using human bone marrow stem cells have found a significant impact on cells in the microgravity environment and produce fewer cells'.
'Because cell proliferation has decreased in human stem cells, there is a possibility that the outer space may cause abnormal growth of the fetus'.
Dr. Millis said the new technology would need to be developed so that a child who was born, raised and existed on a planet also caused many difficulties for humans like Mars.
He said: 'It is very difficult to succeed that the fetus develops until the last month of pregnancy, at least in the absence of radiation protection.'
'An environment that simulates gravity on a spacecraft as described in some films like "The Martian", will also be needed'.
'It seems, with all the limitations of current technology, the birth of a baby in outer space is unlikely to happen, and even if successful, they will face big challenges. regarding development issues'.
Schuster and Peck also revealed that a pregnant astronaut ' may be at higher risk of disease' brought by other members of the team.
Elon Musk, recently said about 70% that he will travel to Mars.
They wrote: 'The pathogens can spread among members more easily in the cramped condition of the spacecraft.'
'Observations show that the crew member's immune system is inhibited by micro-gravity environments, which are verified'.
'NASA researchers think that a weakened immune system could pose a big risk for longer-route flights into the universe, such as a flight to Mars.'
Despite the dangers associated with living there, the South African-born technology tycoon, Elon Musk, recently said about 70% of his travel would be to Mars.
Elon Musk, founder of PayPal and executive of Tesla, hopes to visit the planet with technology created by his space company SpaceX.
SpaceX is currently working on a ship called Starship, formerly codenamed Big F *** ing Rocket.
It is believed that Starship will be able to make the journey to Mars - with the arrival of people on board - within the next seven years.
And during last month's speech on HBO's Axios, Musk said: 'I know exactly what to do. I'm talking about moving there. '
By examining and mapping inside the planet, scientists hope to understand why the rocky planets in our solar system are different and why Earth becomes celestial. the way for life.
