cycles/ seasonal changes and isolation does to the behavior of 25 humans, plants and animals on the surface of Mars. Duration of experiment 5 Years. **** (Why this project is not feasible at this time--We can’t work/live safely on the surface of mars without getting radiation poisoning, the atmosphere is too thin for us to breathe. It’s consists mostly of carbon dioxide, and temperatures on Mars can dip down to -87 degrees C, and rarely get above 0 degrees C). We definitely should first try to build
