No matter how long or hard our astronauts train beforehand, there's no doubt that the transition to living on Mars will be difficult. Though Mars and Earth are surprisingly similar, there's no doubt that the red planet is different from our own. As part of the science officer lineup, I was asked to create a chart comparing the features of Earth and Mars. Using this information, we can hopefully develop a plan to help our astronauts better adjust to their new surroundings.
