Mars is Deadly. Can We Really Live There?

Lots of people want to #OccupyMars, but is that realistic or is a life on Mars still science fiction?

The day we step foot on Mars will be one of the most gloriously exciting days in all of human history. Not only will it be the first human foot on another planet, it will be our first step into a new and complicated future. Should Mars be urbanized? Should we farm? Or should we turn the entire planet into a #science park, like Antarctica? I called Ariel Waldman and Pascal Lee to find out their take, and it’s not looking good for the Escape to Mars-nerds out there.

Can we #LiveOnMars? Can we build a #LunarColony? Should we leave this solar system entirely? What would we need to visit another star? Can humans survive out there in the emptiness of space? I answer all these questions and more in my new science and technology series all about #leavingearth! New episodes every other day all week!

Cosmic Rays (they bad!)
https://www.britannica.com/science/cosmic-ray
Cosmic ray, a high-speed particle—either an atomic nucleus or an electron—that travels through space. Most of these particles come from sources within the Milky Way Galaxy and are known as galactic cosmic rays (GCRs).

How Bad is the Radiation on Mars?
https://www.universetoday.com/14979/mars-radiation1/
Human exploration of Mars has been ramping up in the past few decades. In addition to the eight active missions on or around the Red Planet, seven more robotic landers, rovers and orbiters are scheduled to be deployed there by the end of the decade. And by the 2030s and after, several space agencies are planning to mount crewed missions to the surface as well.

Extremely powerful cosmic rays are raining down on us. No one knows where they come from.

You may think the greatest, most perplexing mysteries of the universe exist way out there, at the edge of a black hole, or inside an exploding star. Nope.
