15. Obstacles -Untested technology on Mars -MIT feasibility study summary findings (2014): first death by suffocation at T+68 days 100% humidity repeated component fail will exhaust spares mass too great for safe Mars landing properly supplying will require 15 ‘pods’ landing safely on Mars Citation: http://web.mit.edu/sydneydo/Public/Mars%20One%20Feasibility%20Analysis%20IAC 14.pdf

16. Obstacles, continued -Unsafe radiation levels as measured by Curiosity on Mars -Peroxide and other soil contaminants, to include perchlorate -regional/global dust storms -landing site insufficiency of water, other components to be used on Mars -psychological effects of long-term space flight -medical issues unable to be resolved by crew -unrepairable equipment/critical components of habitat growth chamber, etc.

17. Is there extant Life on Mars? 01/22/14 ALH84001 microbial Fossils? Recent salt deposit In a Martian gully? Briny water on Phoenix’s leg? Diurnal cycle of nutrient use? Viking II, 1976 Broccoli can grow here. Methane release From non-volcanic Regions on Mars Curiosity, 2014 Curiosity, 2013

18. The Charge: Is Mars harboring ‘illegal aliens’? 01/22/14 The evidence: 1.Labelled release experiment, Viking, 1976 2.Meteorite ALH84001 3.Methane gas release 4.Water droplets on Phoenix’ Arm 5.Possession of all necessary elements for life 6.Abundant evidence of flowing and standing liquid water of neutral pH 7.Existence of liquid water below the surface 8.Each alone, not enough. But taken as a whole?
