The recent discovery of possible fossilized life forms within a Martian meteorite has rekindled interest in human exploration of the planet. While the global scientific community must carefully study this physical evidence as well as await the results of 4 space probes to Mars in the coming years, others are looking ahead to the next logical step of sending humans to the planet. Such a feat, while a tremendous scientific undertaking, is nearly within the grasp of current technology. The travel distance involved and the harsh Martian environment itself impose great challenges to human physiology as well as to spacecraft design. Mission planners face challenges from the long-duration microgravity environment, complex life-support systems, interplanetary radiation, and the psychological stressors involved in such an endeavor.
