SUMMARY
To survive on Mars, humans require essential resources such as water, oxygen, food, and shelter. Water can be extracted from ice deposits, while oxygen must be produced through electrolysis of water or from chemical processes. Food can be cultivated using hydroponics or aeroponics in controlled environments. Additionally, habitats must be designed to withstand Mars' harsh conditions, including radiation and extreme temperatures.
