Transporting seeds to mars

High-Level Project Summary

the specific problem divided into three problems, the first is that world will face a food shortage in general due to the problem of population explosion.the second is how to transport seeds to mars for planting.the third is the toxic mars soil.the solution is divided into three partsl.first is to eliminate food shortages by farming in space on the surface of mars to produce many crops that help meet the needs of population.second is adding titanium to aluminium cylinders to preserve the seeds.third is the elimination of soil toxicity by planting thick-stemmed Nile roses preserve the seeds. access to ideal soil suitable for cultivation of most agricultural crops and the elimination of soil

Detailed Project Description

The transfer of seeds and seed cultivation in space is a very important challenge, as cultivation in space will be the best solution to the problem of the continuous increase in the population. The population has increased continuously since the end of the Black Death pandemic, approximately since 1350, and this increase doubled again in the fifties of the twentieth century. This is mainly due to medical advances and increased agricultural productivity. Although the population growth rate slowed in the 1980s, the total number continued to increase. The United Nations has expressed concerns about continued population growth in sub-Saharan Africa, and recent research has shown that these fears are indeed justified. As of November 21, 2017, the world's population was estimated at 7.583 million by the United States Census Bureau. The population is expected to reach between 8 and 10.5 billion between 2040 and 2050. Thus, the world will face a food shortage pandemic with the increase in population, and it will need an addition of agricultural land to meet the needs of the population

NASA planted salad crops in a soil that mimics the soil of Mars and produced salad crops, but with a quality lower than the quality of the normal soil and they were not sure of its toxicity due to the toxicity of the soil due to the presence of pyrochlorate salts in the soil.

Adding titanium to aluminum cylinders to withstand high temperatures in space and prevent rays from penetrating the cylinder and spoiling the seeds. Thus, we have been able to deliver the seeds properly to Mars. Perchlorate salts are absorbed from the soil, thus making the soil suitable for agriculture. We make a greenhouse to control the temperature on Mars, as the maximum temperature is 27 degrees and the minimum temperature is -137 degrees

Space Agency Data

I benefited from NASA video (have seeds will travel) that I could know many things about space soil . And I benefited from NASA research (growing plants in space that helped me too much in my research as I known too many things about which crops I can plant and growing crops on mars soil.

Hackathon Journey

I benefited from Hackathon journey too much that I knew so many new friends and I knew too much information which helped me to improve my project.

When is an area overpopulated? When its population cannot be maintained without rapidly depleting nonrenewable resources [39] (or converting renewable resources into nonrenewable ones) and without decreasing the capacity of the environment to support the population. In short, if the long-term carrying capacity of an area is clearly being degraded by its current human occupants, that area is overpopulated.
