Researchers estimated that it would take 72 weeks for a crew member to generate enough fluid to build a habitat. Once more astronauts arrive on Mars, there would be a steady stream of fluid.

Potential conditions analogous to Mars include microscopic fractures in deep bedrock, subglacial freshwater lakes, and highly saline deep-sea basins. Methanogens have been identified in such ...

Mars might seem superficially similar to Earth in a number of ways. But its atmosphere is thin and humans would need to live within pressurised habitats on the surface. Yet in an era where space ...
