How can we make Mars a livable planet? What are the requirements?

In the plan of human migration to other planets, the name of Mars is impressively listed, even surpassing the moon for a time, becoming the main goal of human exploration in the future. Because we are the same planet in the livable zone of the solar system, we are trying to adjust our plans to move to Mars while exploring the existence of extraterrestrial life.

According to relevant research, although many scientists believe that humans may not be able to successfully send the first astronauts to the surface of Mars in the next few decades. However, there are also views that as long as Mars can be transformed reasonably, it is possible for human beings to leave the earth.

Recently, scientists at Harvard put forward a new suggestion. Humans may be able to transform the atmospheric environment of Mars by placing a layer of silica aerogel on its surface, thus providing sufficient conditions for other transformations and finally realizing the whole immigration plan.

This sounds a bit beyond people's cognition. After all, Mars does not have the atmospheric environment like the Earth, and frequent storms are likely to blow away everything on its surface, not to mention a thin layer of aerogel.

The scientist said that this kind of warm-keeping device, which is widely used on the surface of buildings, may be able to change the temperature of Mars in a short time, thus melting the water ice on the surface of Mars and providing support for the formation of the Martian atmosphere in the later period. At the same time, silica aerogel can also absorb high-intensity radiation from the universe, which can provide a safer and more stable environment for human migration.

On this basis, relevant personnel have planned to carry out a simulation experiment in the Chitianma Desert to better verify the various reactions of silica.

However, some people think that Mars has a large surface area, and even a thin layer of silica aerogel needs a lot of transportation work, so how to solve the huge resource consumption problem will become the focus of scientists' future research.

Facing the complex space environment, human beings need to be fully prepared, so emigrating to another planet is not a goal that can be accomplished in a short time, and there are still many problems that have not been solved. Therefore, human beings still have to invest a lot of energy to complete the Mars landing plan as soon as possible.
