Martian colonists
Martian colonists. Computer artwork of a vehicle moving over the surface of Mars. The buildings of a colony are seen at lower right. Future colonies and scientific and exploration bases on Mars will need a supply of air, as the Martian atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide. Vehicles and buildings will also have to supply heat, as surface temperatures on Mars range from -89 to -31 degrees Celsius

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the potential future of Martian colonization. In this computer artwork, we are transported to the red planet's surface, where a futuristic vehicle is seen traversing the rugged terrain. The vehicle's sleek design and advanced technology hint at the incredible progress humanity has made in space exploration. As our gaze shifts towards the lower right corner of the image, we catch a glimpse of an entire colony nestled amidst Mars' barren landscape. These buildings serve as a testament to mankind's determination to establish scientific and exploration bases on this distant planet. However, surviving on Mars poses numerous challenges that must be overcome. The scarcity of breathable air due to its predominantly carbon dioxide atmosphere necessitates innovative solutions for sustaining life within these colonies. Additionally, extreme temperatures ranging from -89 to -31 degrees Celsius demand efficient heating systems for both vehicles and structures alike. Through this thought-provoking illustration, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and adventure beyond Earth's boundaries. It serves as a reminder that our dreams extend far beyond what was once considered impossible – paving the way for an exciting future where humans may one day call Mars their second home.
