Here's what NASA's first human habitat on Mars could look like | Mashable

Establishing a human habitat on Mars presents a daunting set of challenges. The thin Martian atmosphere, with almost no oxygen and low pressure, makes breathing impossible without pressurized suits. Temperatures plummet to frigid lows, and the weak atmosphere offers no shield from harmful radiation bombarding the surface. Even acquiring water, essential for life and plant growth, would require extraction from Martian ice deposits or development of water-harvesting techniques. These harsh environ

The most Mars-like terrain on earth happens to be just 200 miles south of BYU. In early June, BYU engineering students and undergrads from universities representing 10 countries traveled to the rocky, harsh terrain of the Mars Desert Research Station near Hanksville, Utah, to participate in the University Rover Challenge. BYU's Mars Rover Team finished in the top 10 out of 100 original entrants in the University Rover Challenge. While the BYU Mars Rover is not the Perseverance Rover built by NAS
