Melech 9,900 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Mars has no breathable atmosphere, meaning it's very much like a vacuum on the surface. If you weren't wearing a pressurized spacesuit, you would be vacuumed out. On the plus side, this "tent" idea might work, but it would need a proper ventilation system for the excess oxygen, or else the bacteria and life would die, and/or combust from pressure difference.No one said in this thread thread that the Mars has a breathable surface. That's why the Nasa plans to sends organism there to build up an breathable atmosphere. They are talking about super tiny organisms, not humans. There are bacterias who can survive in extreme conditions. I can't tell you which one since i'm not a biologist, but there are some who are super resistance. Life on the Gas Giant's moons is extremely possible. Ganymede would be the safest to terraform, because it has a very thin atmosphere already, plus the only moon in our solar system with a magnetic field to protect itself from intense solar radiation. As we know it, Europa is a water world; however, the surface is frozen. If we found a way to warm up the surface (greenhouse gasses) we could melt the frozen surface and produce a hydrogen and oxygen based atmosphere. Sadly, no land able surface though. No one as well denied the possible life on moons of Gas Giants. We are talking here about humans colonializing planets. All the moons have deadly atmospheres for us and never mind that they are totally different than our planet. Our daily life would be totally changed there and might cause socially problems that we don't know yet. Also Europa receives about 540 rem a day which is not very good for us. I highly doubt that we ever will colonialize Europa or any other moon. Though I'm really interested in the geology of Europa and other moons. (since I am a geologist,lol) There's also Titan, which has a very thick atmosphere, and the only moon known to have liquid oceans. However, this is a methane + ethane based moon. Life as we know it comes from carbon atoms; but this doesn't rule out the fact that methane and ethane can produce their own kind of life forms, especially if there's liquid oceans and a pressurized atmosphere.Again, no one is denying the fact there might be life on those moons.

I was just backing up examples of how moon-based living would be. Not trying to rain on your parade. 0110100001100101011011000110110001101111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
