Humans plan to land on Mars in 2035

Do two things and colonize Mars is no longer a dream

Dense forest, as far as the eye can see!

You're not looking at Earth as we know it, you're looking at Mars in the future. After human transformation, the current dead Mars will become lush green, completely covering the whole Mars, the second home of human beings.

You might say, "You're dreaming," but it's not just a dream. Humans have been preparing to colonize Mars for a long time. NASA plans a manned mission to Mars around 2035.

The process of colonizing Mars is bound to be a difficult and lengthy undertaking. But let's imagine the whole process.

After a long journey of six months, mankind finally landed on Mars. It was bound to be a great moment, enough to go down in the annals of human history.

The first people to land on Mars will not only be astronauts, but also a team of biologists, geologists and other professionals who will work together to gain a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the Martian environment and gather information from the geologically complex environment through unmanned probes.

At the same time, the astronauts will need to build a base where they can live for a long time, and the base will be simply expanded from the lander. The environment on Mars is very harsh compared to Earth, with an average temperature of about minus 55 degrees Celsius.

At the same time, Mars has almost no atmosphere to protect it from intense cosmic rays, so astronauts need to wear spacesuits at all times to move on the surface. Fortunately, the gravity of Mars is very small, and astronauts can easily put on a hundred pounds of spacesuit.

It was difficult for the first Mars pioneers to establish a permanent base on Mars. Their more important task was to explore Mars as comprehensively as possible, collect all kinds of useful information, and contribute to the future colonization of Mars!

When the second and third Martian pioneers land on Mars, they will step by step expand the base and then start terraforming the planet.

The most important thing is to warm up Mars. Humans have a lot of experience at this point, they've warmed the planet for the last 100 years. The greenhouse effect, which we hate on Earth, is useful on Mars. Greenhouse gases could be created on Mars to warm it up slowly.

When temperatures rise, carbon dioxide is released from the Martian soil, which will accelerate the Martian greenhouse effect. At the same time, the polar ice caps of Mars will slowly melt, and the ice caps contain a lot of seawater, and water will be very important for future colonization of Mars!

The United States and the Soviet Union were the countries with the most advanced technology during the Cold War. The key technologies for lunar exploration, spacesuits, rockets, and lunar rovers, were impossible for the United States to get help from anyone else. So the simplest and most crude explanation is that the United States had a strong foreign aid back then, and the equipment was all finished products, either with instructions or with consultants on the side, and there was very little to digest and understand by themselves.

And that's the kind of help the United States couldn't have gotten from any other country on Earth. So why is NASA losing these technologies now? Maybe for some reason, NASA's cooperation with SETI ended. It's also possible that NASA wasn't allowed to copy the technical documentation because of contractual confidentiality or something. So after 1972, NASA was not able to go to the moon again, and it hasn't been until now.
