We won't ever be able to live on Mars. Yes finding liquid on Mars is amazing, unfortunately all of the soil is toxic, therefor uninhabitable
English
-
The soil isn't toxic, it "just" has high concentrations of iron
-
No, the Martian soil is full of perchlorates, which are deadly to humans.
-
And to much iron in anything can be fatal
-
it wasn't the soil i was worried about. it was more the 0% oxygen levels.
-
If you had a lab you could remove the elements making the soil toxic, and add elements found in earth's soil to make it similar to earth's soil
-
If only there were some sort of thing that could alter the soil around it. It would also be convenient if this thing could turn carbon dioxide into oxygen and self-replicate. Oh well, I guess no such thing exists.

-
I was thinking of this thing called a plant.

Edited by The Stranger: 9/29/2015 2:00:34 PMPlants need oxygen to survive. There's no oxygen on Mars.
-
Yes there is.
-
Not enough. Plants can't breath without similar levels as humans. If a human can't breath Martian atmosphere neither can plants.
-
They actually need carbon dioxide to survive. They breath the opposite of us(inhales co2, exhales oxygen). So they would be perfect for bringing oxygen to Mars.
-
No. Whilst plants do convert co2 into oxygen through photosynthesis, a byproduct of how they make their food, like all eukaryotes they also need to respire to stay alive. That means breathe oxygen.

Things change.
-
That doesn't.
-
Everything changes

War.... war never changes.

One simple breach/failure in the human habitats could easily kill them.
