Is it possible for humans to live on Mars in the future by

creating a closed ecological system of Earth’s life on Mars?

Claim:

Humans will be able to terraform Mars which will allow human civilization to successfully inhabit the
planet.

Rationale:

After analyzing this research problem, the term “terraform” is needed to be more considered in this
claim.

Therefore, the first refinement includes which environment on Mars humans need to retrofit. Most of
the atmosphere and surface water on Mars were stroked and stripped away by the solar wind––an incessant
stream of energetic particles coming from the Sun 3 to 4 billion years ago. This tragedy made Mars become
the chilly desert people see today and makes its atmosphere too much thin and cold to support liquid water
on its surface. Its atmospheric pressure is just 0.6% of Earth’s, so any surface water would quickly evaporate
or freeze. Furthermore, the atmosphere on Mars is composed of carbon dioxide (95%), molecular nitrogen
(2.8%), and argon (2%) and also contains trace levels of water vapour, oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen,
and noble gases. None of the main gas is suitable for life on Earth to breathe. Even worse, Mars lacks the
protective magnetic field to keep its atmosphere intact, so it has been losing mass to space for such a long
time and the leakage of gases still continues today.

There are four problems people need to deal with, air, the resource of water, energy and food. Firstly, about

concretized the way to terraform Mars, creating a closed ecological system (CES) like Earth’s ecosystem
on Mars.

Life on the Earth relies on water, solar, oxygen and nutrient from others to live. Each of them can not be
missed and they are all in a rigorous ecosystem. The closed ecological system for an entire planet is called an
ecosphere.

The problem and dangers on Mars

If humans want to settle on Mars permanently, there are many problems that humans have to figure
out. The temperature on Mars is sometimes very extreme. Because Mars’s atmospheric pressure is about
one-sixth less than Earth’s and its atmosphere is over 100 times thinner than Earth's, it doesn’t retain heat
very long, so the temperature on Mars dropped quickly. According to NASA, the average temperature on
Mars is about minus 80 degrees F (minus 60 degrees Celsius), but in a different place and at different
seasons, the temperature is totally distinct. In winter, around the poles, the temperature may go down to
minus 195 degrees F (minus 125 degrees C). In summer, near the equator, the temperature may get up to 70
degrees F (20 degrees C), but at night the temperature can get down to about minus 100 degrees F (minus
73 degrees C). Extreme weather also exists on Mars.

minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 60 degrees Celsius).

 Secondly, Mars's atmosphere is over 100 times thinner than Earth's. It is mainly composed of carbon
dioxide, nitrogen and argon gases. Humans need oxygen, nitrogen and some other gas like the air on the
Earth to breathe and survive. How to retrofit the atmosphere for a human to breathe is a big problem.
