2 The Chemical Composition and Human Adaptation to Celestial Bodies: An Extensive Study
Abstract: With the growing advancements in space exploration and humanity’s aspirations for long-term habitation on celestial bodies such as the Moon and Mars, understanding human adaptability to extraterrestrial environments has become a crucial scientific challenge. This research investigates the relationship between the elemental composition of celestial bodies and their potential compatibility with the human body. It explores the impact of extraterrestrial soil composition, gravity, and radiation on human physiology. Building upon previous studies published on Zenodo and OSF, this paper introduces an improved mathematical model for evaluating human adaptability. The study reveals that the Moon and Mars contain elemental compositions that differ significantly from Earth's, affecting biological and chemical interactions. Additionally, lower gravity and increased radiation exposure pose serious health risks, necessitating advanced technological solutions. Results indicate that while Mars presents a more favorable environment than the Moon, both require substantial scientific advancements to support sustainable human habitation. The findings highlight the need for further research on long-term biological effects and potential mitigation strategies for space adaptation.
