PARIS: Mars is a freezing, oxygen-less, barren wasteland.So why do we want to go there again?
Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye appeared on astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson’s StarTalk Radio show in March and gave a great answer.
The Planetary Society recently released a report saying we could have humans on Mars as early as the 2030s. So getting humans to Mars may be technically and financially possible, but scientists agree it won’t exactly be the easiest place to explore.
Nye gave a few reasons why going to Mars will be hellish during the show:
One, there’s no good supply of liquid water. Two, if you stood on the planet’s equator in the middle of summer, the temperature would still be minus 20 degrees.
“But the main thing I think you would pick up on right away is there’s no air,” Nye said.
