Chemical Composition and Human Adaptation to Celestial Bodies
This research explores the relationship between the chemical composition of celestial bodies and human adaptation, focusing on the Moon and Mars. By comparing the elemental composition of Earth, the Moon, and Mars, a mathematical framework is developed to quantify chemical similarity. The study introduces an adaptation model incorporating gravity, biological impact, and chemical similarity to evaluate human survivability. The findings indicate that while the Moon has a high chemical similarity to Earth (95%), significant challenges arise due to its low gravity and harsh biological conditions. The study underscores the need for technological advancements to support human habitation beyond Earth.
