Colonization of Mars
Scientists are hard at work developing technology that would allow astronauts to safely reach and land on the surface of Mars. Although this project is very ambitious and complicated, it is not impossible, and the constant progress of science proves this, bringing us closer to realizing this ambitious project every day.
TL;DR
- A special silicone gel is being developed to make Mars' surface habitable for plants.
- The gel creates a greenhouse effect by absorbing solar energy, warming the surface and melting ice.
- This could lead to the creation of fertile oases on Mars, aiding astronauts.
- The material is 97% air and 3% silicon and can block UV rays while allowing light and heat.
- This technology could facilitate the establishment of conditions for growing plants on other planets.
