The movie
The Martian (《火星救援》) is very popular among space lovers.
It shows an astronaut trying to live on Mars.
Although
the idea of living on Mars is great, the reality does not look so good. Mars
does not have a friendly atmosphere (大气层) for
humans. There is very little oxygen there. And because it is too far away from the
sun, it is also very cold there. Sometimes the temperature on Mars can be -133℃. This is much too cold for
humans.
However,
scientists say it might be possible to live there even without a good
atmosphere. Daytime on Mars is almost the same as Earth's. It means there's
enough sunlight to grow plants inside safe buildings. However, they would have
to grow in soil from Earth. Mars does not have a strong enough atmosphere to
stop the radiation (福射) coming from space, which
makes it dangerous to grow things in the soil.
The
radiation also causes problems for our health. One way to live there is to
build homes underground or in the rocks on the planet. This can help humans
keep away from the radiation and keep warm.
When
could we live on Mars? Scientists are hoping to make it possible to live on
Mars. Let's wait and see.
