“For many years, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been hellbent on sending humans to the surface of Mars.”
“With the help of his space company’s massive Starship rocket, the mercurial entrepreneur is hoping to build an entire city on the Red Planet — a quest that feels more pertinent than ever as his key ally, president Donald Trump, signals enthusiasm for expediting the first astronauts to Mars even at the cost of NASA’s scheduled missions to the Moon.”
“But a pesky foe could derail all that. As detailed in a recent study published in the journal GeoHealth last month, scientists found that substances found in Martian dust could be life-threatening to human space travelers, greatly imperiling their health.
While astronauts aren’t expected to directly breathe in the extremely thin atmosphere any time soon in the absence of major geoengineering efforts, even filtering out the dust could prove extremely difficult.”
