Planet Mars it is the subject of interest for many scientists at the moment, they are trying hard to find methods to be able to safely send people there, and all this work could be fully crowned with success for them. For the future missions to the planet Mars, a very big discovery was made, more precisely, a new type of material that can be used to create the first buildings for humans.
Planet Mars it is not exactly the location where the materials needed to build the necessary buildings for the astronauts to live in can be transported from Earth, and not only that. The first buildings on the planet Mars could be made using a new type of material called biolite, which is made from an organic polymer called chitin, and found in many organisms, from fungi to clams, it can be transformed in construction material through a new complex process.
Planet Mars: The INCREDIBLE Announcement for the Future of Mankind
Planet Mars it has on its surface a material called regolith, which is combined with chitin to create biolith, and thanks to it people could survive for long periods of time there. Researchers from Singapore are the ones who discovered the usefulness of this new type of material, saying that the organic polymer is the second easiest to find on Earth, so it was normal to experiment with it for missions to the planet Mars.
"Using a ubiquitous organic polymer called chitin, which is found in everything from mushroom fibers to clam shells, a team of researchers in Singapore has designed a low-energy manufacturing material called 'biolite.' It uses Martian regulite – a loose mixture of deposits covering solid rock – and a chemically transformed chitin solution to create a durable, multi-use building material. Capable of doing everything from creating tools to building colony structures, such a polymer may be the future of alien engineering."
Planet Mars it is very complex, and very unfriendly to people, so apart from a construction material, the astronauts will need much more, but this biolite will be able to be grown there, in the ships that will transport people. Of course, a lot of testing is needed to be able to see very clearly how good the material is for what astronauts need, but based on what the researchers in Singapore have discovered, it's pretty clear that it could survive on the planet Mars.
Planet Mars it is the objective of several missions that are now in full preparation, but until 2030 it is unlikely that we will see any human crew sent there by any space agency on Earth.
