A biologist cautions that adapting to life on Mars could lead humans to develop greenish skin and potential vision impairment.
Due to Mars’ lack of a protective atmosphere, inhabitants would face harmful levels of radiation exposure, requiring physiological changes to survive the planet’s extreme environment.
These adaptations might be essential for sustaining human life, but colonizing Mars brings serious challenges beyond radiation. Prolonged exposure to low gravity could lead to muscle atrophy and bone density loss, while limited access to natural resources raises questions about food and oxygen supply.
Although advancements in space technology continue, the profound risks to human health suggest we’re still far from ready for life on the Red Planet.
