Some facts about the life of Earthlings on Mars

On the wave of universal enthusiasm no one thought about the human psihologii



In recent years, mankind vigorously discussing the possibility of colonization of the red planet, in favor of long-term Mars mission expressed by many - from Barack Obama to Buzz Aldrin, American astronaut, the second man to set foot on the lunar surface. There were even private non-profit organizations involved in the preparation of such travel.

Leaders of one of the private programs of its kind, called «Mars One» intend to make the colonization of Mars in a kind of reality show: humanity can monitor virtually every step of the pioneers in real time, however, before the project enters its final stage, let's see, what awaits the first settlers on Mars.



Firstly, the average temperature on the surface of the Red Planet - about -40 ° C, cold Martian winter night it can reach -125 ° C, a hot day is increased to +27 ° C. Secondly, such sudden changes in temperature - the reason for the strong winds, the speed by up to 100 m / s. Third, the atmosphere of Mars is much more tenuous than the Earth, and 95, 9% consists of carbon dioxide. The list goes on, however, as scientists believe, is not the best climate - it is only one of the problems.

The main thing that lies in wait for the colonists - complete social isolation, monotony and lack of qualified psychological help, and if at the same time for them 24 hours a day, will be watching the audience "reality show", you can imagine how difficult it would have the first "Martians." < br />

Members of the first expedition to the Red Planet to hold her, not months and years to come, which is fraught with extremely high mental stress, and even insanity.

According to «The Guardian», program «Mars One» does not take into account the obvious psychological consequences for the members of the expedition, and if it still be realized in the near future, will need to be followed by settlers sent to Mars team of psychotherapists.
