If humans inhabit Mars, we should wear space suits at all times. Unfortunately, the thicker parka still wouldn’t keep you protected. The average temperature on Earth is 13.8 degrees Celsius, which is still much warmer than the average temperature on Mars, which is -62.7 degrees Celsius. Although atmospheric pressure on Mars varies, you will still need a space suit that can apply pressure to the body and keep the white blood cells in place. Also, the gravity of Mars is weaker compared to that of Earth, which means that your speed will be slower on the red planet. Definitely a lot to get used to!
When it comes to food, our source of food should come from the soil of the planet. Interestingly, scientists believe that the cultivation of crops such as potatoes, beans and asparagus is possible on Mars.
The shelter for humans should be built with Habitat 3D printers. Marsha, a prototype vertical pod created by AI’s SpaceFactory team for the 2019 NASA competition, could be a viable human habitat.

If the Ingenuity Mars helicopter is capable of passing flight tests, the acquired data or air dimension can be used to aid in future explorations. Soon, these future voyages of astronauts will bring us closer to understanding much more about life on the red planet. Can you imagine taking space travel during your lifetime? Who knows, it might just be a possibility!
