Well not to put a damper on anyone’s daydreaming, but the prospect of humans establishing a self-sustaining ecology for humans on Mars, or the Moon, or wherever besides the Earth, are dismal. A small clue for the extreme difficulty involved was illustrated by man’s failure to build a self-enclosed ecology, right here on earth, in which humans could live for any extended period of time.
Clearly, building a self-sustaining ecology is a far more difficult proposition than the planners of Biosphere had originally realized. And please note, this experiment for the feasibility of a enclosed, self sustaining, ecology was done right here on Earth! An alien, toxic, environment, such as on the Moon or Mars, presents its own set of insurmountable problems for building a self sustaining ecology:
i.e. It appears that the basic chemical composition of Mars and the Moon may very well be very antagonistic for building any self-sustaining ecology for humans. And what I have listed thus far is just the tip of the iceberg as to problems to be considered. In the following article, Dr. Hugh Ross goes into far more detail as to elucidating the requirements for sustaining just bacteria for just 90 days or less on any given planet.
With just a little research, I’m sure both Mars and the Moon will be found to be lacking in more than one of the many basic parameters required for chemically sustaining bacteria for any extended period of time on a planet.
It is also important to note that the very complex, interdependent, ‘life-enabling’, biogeochemical complexity of different types of bacterial life on Earth.,,,
,,,Please note, that if even one type of bacteria group did not exist in this complex cycle of biogeochemical interdependence, that was illustrated on the third page of the preceding site, then all of the different bacteria would soon die out.
Of related note, humans are not meant to live in space for any extended period of time either:
Of philosophical interest: But where does the desire of one hundred thousand people for a one-way trip to Mars come from?
Music, Quote, and Verse:
I imagine there will be plenty of sex going on. Will they be contracepting? When that fails (and it will) will they kill these “Martians”? Or will they have children on Mars? Do these children really want to be Martians? When they hear about Earth and see the life they could have had will they hate their parents?
The idea of traveling beyond Earth’s immediate confines is fascinating and well worth some effort. Easy? Of course not. But exploration, particularly of challenging environments, never has been.
It is fair to point out all the challenges and to consider the possibilities of failure. But there is something inside most, if not all, of us that yearns to learn and explore and push the envelope. Part of what makes us who we are.
