Living on Mars

Living in the Martian Environment? Methodology of the Approach

It has been observed that at the 0g level (ISS), the risk of living in weightlessness is unacceptable in the long term due to SANS syndrome (Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome). Does this mean we should give up the idea of physically going to Mars, where gravity is not zero but weak? To answer this question, we need to study precisely (1) the effects of a 0.38g gravity and (2) build two rotating space stations.

To live on Mars, the weak internal hydrostatic gradient resulting from a 0.38g gravity will be a problem

The problem of Gravity on Mars. The reality, which we must face, is that a stay will be possible for one synodic period (18 months on site) and perhaps two (44 months on site – i.e., 18 + 26), but that, within the current technological framework, it will probably be impossible for an unlimited duration due to fundamental physiological properties of the human body. I do, however, open the door for a solution.
