Part 6/12:
Living on Mars would likely take a toll on both mental and physical health. The confined space, day-to-day stresses, and isolation echo the experiences of individuals in remote locations on Earth, such as scientists in Antarctica. Regular psychological evaluations would be essential for maintaining the mental well-being of colonists.
Additionally, the lower gravity environment on Mars poses health risks, including muscle loss, vision problems, and cardiovascular issues. To counteract these effects, colonists would need to engage in regular physical exercise.
