Humans can only survive 68 days on Mars

A new study shows that space projects to bring people to Mars should not be rushed because the harsh conditions in the red planet can cause people to die after 68 days.

>>>Settling on Mars: Make water and oxygen

Research by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US says oxygen will start to run out after about two months . Scientists propose that new technologies need to be invented before humans can go to Mars 'settle down'.

According to AFP, the group of 5 scientists at MIT used data from the Mars One project - a Dutch project to take people to conquer Mars in 2024. The list of over 1,000 people has been chosen from 200,000 applications. Please join in the beginning. This number will be reduced to 24 people to fulfill the mission.

However, conditions on Mars plus technological limitations of mankind can make this mission impossible, at least for now.

Putting spare parts on Mars is another challenge and could cost the mission the cost of at least $ 4.5 billion.

Co-founder Mars One and project managing director Bas Lansdorp said: "Mars One's big challenge is to keep things running." However, he also stated that MIT scientists used The data is incomplete and adds technology to conquer Mars is almost complete.

Mars is located at least 55 million kilometers from Earth and takes at least 7 months to get there.
