Risks face when living on Mars

The harsh environment, the lack of such living conditions on Earth or the risk of health effects are the problems that future Mars residents will face.

Journey to Mars will last 210 days.During this time, every member of the group put on Mars will have a living space of about 20 cubic meters and not bathe.Only 4 people live the rest of the life on Mars to explore this planet.(Photo: Mars One)

When testing 520 days of life on a spaceship to simulate a trip to Mars, 4 of 6 astronauts had problems related to depression and insomnia.This may cause them to make some mistakes that endanger the trip.(Photo: ESA)

A day on Mars is 40 minutes longer than Earth.For those who are accustomed to life 24 hours, this may cause minor disturbances in the circadian rhythm.(Photo: neurosciencestuff.tumblr.com)

So far, studies on the effects of gravity on fertilization and fetal development are quite few.Experts therefore recommend that the first people living on Mars should not have children.(Photo: treymorgan.net)

Astronauts at the ISS International Space Station are limited to 6 months in space.Meanwhile the journey to Mars lasted at least 200 days.The condition of zero gravity environment will cause some biological problems such as bone and muscle are not flexible and weak, even risk of getting some strange diseases from the red planet.(Photo: BBC)

The harsh environment also requires that people living on Mars have to train themselves to adapt to living conditions on the planet.(Photo: NASA)

Gravity on Mars is only one-third that of Earth.Once adapted to Mars's gravity environment, human bones and muscles will gradually degenerate and cannot match the Earth's living conditions.(Photo: NASA)

The distance between Earth and Mars reaches more than 300 million kilometers.When you set foot on Mars, you may never see the Earth again.(Photo: NASA)

The time to transmit information from Mars to Earth ranges from 3-22 minutes.Life on Mars will limit the exchange of telephone communications like on Earth.Computer or Internet also cannot be used.(Photo: practicefusion.com)

Mars's atmosphere is very thin (about 1% compared to Earth), containing up to 96% of carbon dioxide and only a very small amount of oxygen.Giant dust storms may appear and cover the red planet, which has a significant impact on human health.(Photo: NASA)

According to analytical data from the Curiosity autonomous device, scientists estimate the amount of radiation that humans can contact during their journey to Mars is 662 millisievert (radiometer).Because Mars does not have a protective magnetic field like the Earth, the risk of radiation exposure when moving to the surface of the red planet will be much higher.(Photo: NASA)

The harsh life on Mars also includes restrictions on daily food sources.(Photo: vafoodbanks.org)
