The dream of establishing a permanent human presence on Mars is rapidly transitioning from science fiction to engineering reality. This comprehensive analysis examines the critical infrastructure requirements for a self-sustaining Martian colony.
Atmospheric Challenges
Mars' thin atmosphere—less than 1% of Earth's density—presents one of the most significant challenges for colonization. The atmosphere is 95% carbon dioxide, with only trace amounts of oxygen. Any viable colony must therefore incorporate sophisticated life support systems.
