One of them is food problem.A movie "Odyssey" who is left alone on MarsSo, we modified the observation base to make the field, but what kind of method is there in reality? Andy Weir and others who are the original authors of "Odyssey" talk a few ideas.

First of all, NASA's planetary scientist Jennifer Hedmann appeared. When thinking about the food problem, there is an option of "transporting from the earth", but again the thing to take is to "grow the crop with things on Mars".


Mr. Jim Green, director of planetary science at NASA and responsible for supervision of the movie "Odyssey" points out Martian soil problems.


Unlike the Earth, Mars is like the "wilderness" as a whole, the topsoil is dry from the ground, not suitable for cultivation.

However, since it is known that there is soil containing carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, etc., if it digs to a certain extent rather than the topsoil, possibility to bring up "Mars crops" by carrying it to a sealed greenhouse there is.

What is important is that NASA's former astronaut Charles Bolden tells us how to make food to keep the body like meat and vegetables.


The author of "The Martian (Marsian)", the original book of the movie "Odyssey" Mr. Andy Weir cited "algae farm" as a solution.


Algae grow if there is a big "puddle". And algae contains all the nutrients that people need.

Several alternatives were given, but Steven Petraenec, author of the science magazine Discover Editor, author of "How We'll Live on Mars (How We Live on Mars)" said: "After all, I believe that there is no choice but to "Earth (Terraform)" Mars itself so that food can be grown on the surface of Mars.


In fact, NASA is considering ways to grow potatoes on Mars.

Now that "Mars migration" that seemed like a far-off science event in the world was to be accepted with a certain degree of reality, now the next thing to consider is "terraforming".

By the way, on the National Geographic Channel, from 21 o'clock on November 15, 2016, Ron Howard of the movies "Beautiful Mind" and "Apollo 13" and Brian Glaser, producer of "Beautiful Mind" and Drama "24" A documentary drama "Mars Mars migration planScheduled to be broadcast.

The prologue and the trailer look like this.

It is made up to the relay site by "International Mars Science Foundation" appearing in the work, and "Mars arrival" is exciting.
