Planet Mars: The AMAZING Discovery that Shocked Mankind

The planet Mars is at the center of several very important missions that are in full preparation at the moment, and would be launched somewhere in the course of the next 10 years at least. Until then, scientists are competing with ideas, some of them more unusual, to present how we could make our future homes on the planet Mars, and the latest one of them has shocked a lot of people, even if it is unlikely to be built soon to be implemented.

Planet Mars has been revealed by researchers that a protein from the astronauts' slags could be used together with their urine, sweat, tears, together with the soil on the planet, to make cosmic cement. Of course, a few other elements would be needed, but scientists are trying to show that in the absence of raw materials that are easy to find on Earth, astronauts could make their homes on Mars with whatever they have at their disposal.

The planet Mars is so far from the Earth that transporting cement, or bricks, for the construction of houses involves ridiculous costs from all points of view, unfortunately. The only real solution to this problem is to find ways to use what exists on Mars to make the raw materials that are needed to build future colonies on the fourth planet from the sun, but that won't be very easy either.

"Scientists have tried to develop viable technologies to produce concrete-like materials on the surface of Mars, but we never stopped to think that the answer might be inside us all along. Animal blood has historically been used as a mortar binder. It is interesting that a major challenge of the space age could have found its solution based on inspirations from medieval technology.”

The planet Mars could have construction materials almost as strong as those on Earth made by astronauts using what can be removed from their own bodies. Of course, many people would be needed to be able to produce many construction materials on the planet Mars, and the reality is that it is unlikely that any serious space agency would consider such a plan, but in case of need, it is good to know that he exists.

The planet Mars remains at the center of many such plans, and some of them will certainly be implemented, while others have little chance of ever being implemented in reality.
