Human causes choose Mars to

The Mars 'settlers' project of Utrecht University, Netherlands professor Gerard't Hooft is a hot topic in the press.

Advantage of distance

Mars has an advantage over some other stars because it is the second closest planet to Earth after Venus.

Mars is quite similar to Earth

Mars is a planet with the most similarities to Earth in terms of gravity, temperature, and atmosphere. Mars may also have existed life, had water, surrounded itself with a relatively thin atmosphere, the surface temperature was not too high (63 degrees c).

Meanwhile, the Moon has far more extreme conditions than Mars. It has no atmosphere to absorb radioactive rays (or at least part of it) and can avoid incoming asteroids. The moon also does not have the necessary gravity, and this can cause serious health problems.

Mercury is not a promising target for the expedition because Mercury does not have the same conditions as the Earth. Moreover, it will be difficult to bring a spacecraft into this planet's orbit without the risk of being overrun or hitting the Sun.

Mars is the ideal place to land and live?

Venus is closer to Earth than Mars, but Venus has a relatively harsh atmosphere. Venus is covered by sulfuric acid clouds, the air pressure on its surface is 92 times higher than Earth. This is the planet where volcanoes work very hard. And the temperature on Venus is extremely high: about 460 degrees Celsius, not suitable for people and machines on it.

"Red planet" is the focus of public opinion

In recent times, with the success of Curiosity project, we are collecting many important data about this Red planet. New discoveries about the ability to exist in the country, the possibility of life have reinforced the reason for choosing Mars as a destination for this expedition.

Besides, Mars is the focus of NASA's attention and the world community, so if you attach this plan to Mars, it will certainly get a lot of attention and maybe even thermal support. love for the project.
