In order to live on Mars we have to have ecosystem that will allow us to survive. Ecosystems such as temperate grasslands, tundras, rain forests, forests, deserts, lakes, swamps, rivers, and estuararies. These are some of the main ecosystems that are needed in order for human life to be supported. Another important aspect that needs to be taken into consideration is that 'solar energy has to be converted into biomass energy. Photosynthesis also has to take place so that plant life in Mars will continue to do their process of respiration. These are some important features that have to do with the biological side of the our group.

  1. Do you think that we could start a colony within a contained structure, like in Biosphere II? Is there a case to be made that an underground colony might be a good way to go? That way, we could have people working to transform the climate that actually lived on the planet long term. Can you find any theoretical representations of what such a colony might look like? Are there raw materials on Mars that could be used to create such a structure?
