Hvorfor snakker alle om mars? Hadde det ikke vært en bedre start å begynt med månen? Der har tross alt folk vært før og er ikke så langt. Månebase!

Its soil contains water to extract
It isn’t too cold or too hot
There is enough sunlight to use solar panels
Gravity on Mars is 38% that of our Earth's, which is believed by many to be sufficient for the human body to adapt to
It has an atmosphere (albeit a thin one) that offers protection from cosmic and the Sun's radiation
The day/night rhythm is very similar to ours here on Earth: a Mars day is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds
