Planning for life on Mars
Briefly

The Mars regolith simulant developed by NASA allows us to investigate what plants can grow on the planet’s surface and how we might support them.
Although much of Mars' water is frozen or buried, the study of plant cultivation in regolith could aid future missions and offer insights for earthbound agricultural challenges.
Finding ways to grow food in harsh environments like the Martian surface is crucial, as techniques developed could also help combat climate change's impact on Earth.
While visiting Mars would be a dream, ensuring the presence of life-support systems is crucial for future human exploration ventures.
