Here are the answers to your questions based on current scientific knowledge about Mars:
1. **How long can a human survive on the surface of Mars without a spacesuit?**
- **Less than 30 seconds** (Human survival would be severely compromised due to lack of oxygen and low atmospheric pressure.)
2. **What is the average temperature on Mars?**
- **-60 degrees Celsius** (This is a commonly cited average temperature of Mars, though it can vary widely.)
3. **What primarily composes Mars' atmosphere?**
- **Carbon Dioxide** (The atmosphere is about 95% carbon dioxide.)
4. **What happens to bodily fluids when exposed to low atmospheric pressure on Mars?**
- **They vaporize** (In low pressure, bodily fluids can boil off due to the reduced boiling point.)
5. **Why is radiation a significant concern for astronauts on Mars?**
- **It can cause mutations in cells** (Increased exposure to radiation can lead to cancer and other health issues.)
6. **How much radiation do astronauts absorb on the International Space Station compared to the legal limit in the U.S.?**
- **Double the limit** (Astronauts on the ISS are exposed to higher levels of radiation than what's generally considered safe on Earth.)
7. **What is a major challenge for growing food on Mars?**
- **Presence of perchlorates** (Perchlorates are toxic to humans and can disrupt plant growth.)
8. **What is one method scientists suggest for protecting Mars colonists from radiation?**
- **Tunneling underground** (This method would provide natural shielding from radiation.)
9. **What would be a consequence of not sterilizing bodies on Mars after death?**
- **Contaminating microbes could survive** (This poses a risk for future biological studies and planetary protection.)
10. **What is the main goal of terraforming Mars?**
- **To create an Earth-like atmosphere** (The aim is to make Mars more hospitable for human life.)
11. **Why would we need to introduce organisms to Mars?**
- **To help increase the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere** (Biological processes could potentially contribute to a breathable atmosphere.)
12. **What do they mean when they say "Terraform Mars"?**
- **Change the Mars to be more like Earth** (The goal is to modify the planet's environment to support human life.)
13. **How do Endolithic phototrophs get food?**
- **Through chemicals inside of rocks** (These organisms are capable of using minerals and other chemicals for energy.)
