Establishing Crew Exposure Limits of Martian Dust - NASA
I published a realistic mars survival game. I'm planning to adapt it to PC
Hello, I already published a mars survival game for mobile..I'm planning to adapt it to PC.. it will take 2+ years atleast for release(because currently I'm working on another project)... so I'm here to get some suggestions, and core ideas for the game.. It will be realistic survival, not an alien shooter.. So I need basic things to be right.. so give me advice and suggestions

What is the most terrifying thing humanity could find on Mars?
I’ve always wondered, when humanity finally settles on Mars, what would be the most terrifying or creepiest thing we could discover there? Looking for everyone’s opinions and theories

Project Title: Project "Grain-hen" (Krupola) — Genetically Engineered Poultry for Martian Closed-Loop Life Support Systems (CELSS)
Lead Designer: Michael Likshin
Concept Stage: Conceptual Design & Directed Evolution Protocol
- Executive Summary
Long-term Martian colonization requires highly efficient, compact, and resilient sources of animal protein. Traditional livestock is resource-heavy. Standard Earth poultry fails due to low gravity, radiation, and toxic regolith dust. Project "Grain-hen" (locally known as "Krupola") proposes a novel avian species derived from Gallus gallus, explicitly engineered via directed evolution and CRISPR-prime editing to thrive primarily within the artificial pressurized habitats, shielded bio-domes, and designated foraging zones of the Martian colony.
- Key Genetic Adaptations & Specifications
· Scale and Mass: Engineered to be 1.3 times larger than a standard broiler chicken. Optimized myostatin (MSTN) gene expression allows maximum muscle mass development under Martian partial gravity (38% of Earth's), preventing avian muscle atrophy.
· Atmospheric & Dust Defense (Transparent Nictitating Membrane): Enhanced keratinization of the third eyelid allows the Grain-hen to safely navigate high-dust environments during Martian storms. The membrane blocks sharp, magnetized basaltic dust without obstructing the bird's vision.
· Radiation Shielding: Upgraded with Dsup (Damage Suppressor) genes (derived from tardigrades) and hyper-accumulation of astaxanthin/carotenoids. This results in a distinctive deep red pigmentation, protecting the animal from cellular radiation damage.
· Skeletal Stability (Avian Dinosaurian Tail): Activation of ancestral TALPID3 and Wnt pathways to grow a fully developed, elongated caudal tail. This serves as a critical mechanical counterbalance for running and jumping in low-gravity environments.
· Metabolic Efficiency & Yield:
· Diet: Specially adapted to process raw, hydroponically grown Martian grain varieties.
· Dual-Yield Production: In addition to meat and eggs, prolactin upregulation enables crop-milk secretion, providing an easily harvestable liquid protein source for colonizers via controlled hormonal stimulation methods.
- Implementation Protocol
The species will be developed using directed evolution within automated Martian simulator bioreactors. By utilizing CRISPR libraries on primordial germ cells (PGCs) and subjecting embryos to simulated Martian gravity, pressure, and dust, the optimal phenotypes will be selected entirely in vitro

Viking Lander 1 & 2 digital images in never seen before high quality now available for the 50th anniversary of the first successful Mars Landing on July 20th 1976
Everyone can find their favorite Martian Sky Color in those original Mars pictures from 1976 - 1982! Blue and white during the usual clear weather, over gray and yellow to red during dust storm activity later in the mission. Even water ice surface frost on Viking Lander 2 during the winter!
I recently processed the original Viking Lander 1 & 2 digital 3x6 bits / pixel images in the same way as every digital camera converts raw sensor data into a visual images. Technically that's creating a camera profile (see last image info graphic) and applying it to create a standard sRGB JPEG. All color images from both Viking Landers from their mission duration 1976 - 1982 can be viewed for free via this link: https://areo.info

Can we give Mars an artificial magnetosphere?
I can't find it anymore, but I recall seeing an idea that if we can't deal with the surface level radiation on Mars then there is no chance of ever setting foot on it long-term; a solution proposed was that we put a massive EMF generator at Mars's l1 Lagrange point and if it's powerful enough, it would produce a field sufficient to blanket at least a section of Mars's surface and massively reduce the surface level radiation.
Is this how physics works? Do we have the theoretical technical infrastructure to build a powerful enough generator? Is the Lagrange point so far away from Mars that it would be massively improbable?
Don't know if flair should be planetary science, physics, or astronomy...
