Harvard University, one of the best-recognized names in higher education, has announced that there might be a way to make Mars habitable, despite the harsh conditions on the planet. While NASA recently concluded that there is hardly any way to make Mars resemble the Earth, students, and professors at Harvard University believe there still might be a way to make the planet more welcoming.
The main problem with making Mars habitable is the extremely low temperature. Mars is very cold, and according to NASA, the human mind has not come up with sufficiently developed technology to warm up the whole planet.
However, representatives of both the student and faculty bodies at Harvard have developed an insulation material, which might be able to beat the cold and unwelcoming weather on Mars.

According to recent Harvard scientific researches, an insulation material called silica aerogel might be what Mars needs to become a habitable place. Currently, the most significant struggle scientists are facing is how to produce food on the planet, as the temperature there is really low. The silica aerogel might be able to serve as an insulation layer so that plants can be grown on Mars.
While there have been significant advancements in terms of technology in the past several decades. Quantum computer technology and digital tools are now widely available; however, space is yet to be explored.
Space agencies around the world are sending missions and research projects to find more about our neighboring planets; however, there still has not been significant progress made in finding a suitable replacement for our home planet. Harvard’s discovery might be the key to making Mars habitable, and research in this field is an amazingly innovative approach to space exploration.
