Expedition Mars One says that the crew overcome journey of 210 days. Each crew member will have a living space of 20 square meters and not be able to take a shower. If you suffer from the arrival of relatives for the holidays, how you survive it all?





In fact, this is not fun.

After the unfortunate astronauts have spent 520 days in a fake ship on the Russian car park, simulating an expedition, four of the six test had problems sleeping and progressive depression.



People have never been in space for so long.

Currently the limit of stay on the ISS is six months because of how weightlessness affects the human body. The journey to Mars will last 200 days, which is clearly more than six months.



It will be difficult to adapt to the Martian time.

The day on Mars lasts longer than the earth for 40 minutes. It sounds like a small difference, but after you have lived all my life 24 hours a day, it will be noticeable.



You can hardly see the land again.

And it can affect you much more than you think. When astronauts "Apollo" went to the moon, they reported a growing sense of unease as the distance from the home planet. Compared with Mars, the Moon is very close.

Gravity on Mars is three times weaker than on Earth. Many muscle and bone atrophy as unnecessary. So if your body adapts to there the conditions in the world you just can not survive.



The first Martian settlers could not have children.

Decides whether it is good or bad, but the leadership of the expedition Mars One strongly recommends not to try to have children because of the lack of data about the features of the fetus in low gravity.



You have to deal with in order to be in shape. Very much engaged.



And if you get sick, you will be in 55, 76 million kilometers from Earth.



There is always a chance you will catch something very Martian.

Then the Earth you will not be allowed, even if you really want.



You can not go for a walk.

The density of the atmosphere of Mars is only 1% of the density in the world. At 96% it is composed of carbon dioxide and only the remainder is oxygen. Also on Mars it happens powerful dust storms, which can also be toxic to humans. You can go for a walk in the suit, but it's not the same thing.

You will be exposed to high levels of radiation.

When Curiosity traveled to Mars, the researchers measured the level of radiation in there the conditions. The number was 662 (plus or minus 108) milizivertov. It's about two-thirds of 1000 milizivertov limit imposed by the majority of space agencies for their astronauts.

Just remember: you die on Mars.

Many health problems can not be cured on the red planet. And even if you could, you would still have died away from family and friends.
