I-Mars yenye yeeplanethi, kwixesha elizayo eliceba inkosi njengeplanethi yobomi babantu. Ezinye izazinzulu ziqinisekile ukuba umoya ojikeleze iMars unokuthi emva kokuhlaziya, ukukhulisa imithi, ukufumana indawo enkulu yokufumana inani lamanzi. Izazinzulu ziphuhlisa ubuchwepheshe obutsha ezinokubanceda abantu kwi-colonizer yeplanethi ebomvu, kuzisa ubuntu ukuya kwi-Spaning-Stage Spaning.
Nge-17 kaFebruwari, yaziwa ngetekhnoloji entsha yokudala i-cyanobacteria kwiimeko kufutshane kangangoko kunokwenzeka ukuba uMartin. Ingcali iqaphela ukuba uhlobo olutsha lwentsholongwane uAsabaena luya kuphumelela kuphela kwi-gesi ephantsi kuphela kwaye usebenzisa igesi laseMartian, izakha-mzimba kunye namanzi, kodwa ukuvelisa kwiimeko zomhlaba kuya kungenakwenzeka.
Itekhnoloji entsha yaxelelwa i-SIPRIIN Vesi SEE, entloko ilebhu ye-microbiologshini ifakwe kwi-microbiology embindini weetekhnoloji ezisetyenzisiweyo kunye ne-microgravity (Zarm) yeDyunivesithi yaseBremen. Uthe oku kulandelayo:
Ukuvelisa ikholoni ye-cyanobacteria kwi-Mars, iigesi ezifumanekayo kwi-Martian Admosphere inokusetyenziswa njengomthombo we-nitrogen kunye nekhabhoni. Kananjalo kwiimeko zikaMartian, i-cyanobacteria igcina amandla abo okukhula emanzini, ophethe uthuli kuphela uMartian. Sikholelwa ukuba ukukhula kwethu kuya kunceda nangakumbi kuzisa ubuntu kwi-Mars, kunye nekoloni yeplanethi kwikamva elibonakalayo. I-cyanobacteria yavela ngemizamo yethu, enokuphila kwiplanethi ebomvu.
Iingcali zehlabathi zesayensi kudala ziqwalasele uhlobo lokudala iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zebacteria ezinokuphila kwezinye iiplanethi okanye zesatellite. I-cyanobacteria iyakwazi ukuguqula i-nitrogen ukusuka emoyeni ukuya kwizondlo. Kwangoko, iingcali zaphawula inani leengxaki ezinxulumene nokugcinwa kobomi benkxaso ye-cyanobacteria, kodwa ubuchule obutsha bokulima buya kuvumela ukuba idlule le ngxaki.
Ababhali besi sifundo bayazithemba. Zeziphi iimeko zokufakelwa okwenzelwe ukuba zikhule iibacteria emhlabeni ziyahambelana neemeko eziyimizekelo kwiMars, ngoko ke akufuneki zibe ziimeko ezingalindelekanga xa zizama ukukhula i-mars.
