2 General Martian Features Thin carbon dioxide atmosphere Rocky, red surface due to iron oxide Polar ice caps Mountains, craters, valleys, and volcanoes Dried up river valleys indicating water was once running across surface

3 Mars Atmosphere Very windy, carbon dioxide, and thin Will not support life as is Insert Picture Here

4 Surface of Mars Mountains Valleys Craters Volcanoes Not much to look at to attract people to live there

5 Ice Caps Polar ice caps of frozen carbon dioxide Insert Pictures Here

6 Mars had a highly eroded surfaceMars had a highly eroded surface Looks as though water ran freely over the surfaceLooks as though water ran freely over the surface Where is the water?Where is the water? Insert Picture Here

7 The Future On Mars Man Living on Mars What must be done to live on Mars? (My Ideas) http://mmp.planetary.org/tour/learn.htm Insert Picture Here

8 Problems to Solve Martian Atmosphere is not breathable The is no Earth-like protection from harmful radiation from the sun Few resources for building materials Mars has no water

9 My Ideas Create colony in bubble shaped dome with necessary atmosphere enclosed in bubble Bubble must also filter harmful radiation Using sand from surface glass can be made as building material Must bring and recycle water
