Some scientists sent 4,000 worms to mars. Those worms are called Caenorhabditis. We sent the worms to space to see ideas for coping if we did go to Mars. The worms stayed healthy. They also developed from an egg. They were able to grow and reproduce from the trip to one planet to another. They sent those worms because they have a lot of genes that do the same things as ours. One of the reasons why they think it is too dangerous to go to Mars is the large amounts of radiation exposure. Also your bones would loose bone strength quickly. They do not know if it is safe enough on Mars for people.

I did not know that scientists were considering moving to Mars as one of our options. I think it is amazing that we might be able to live on mars. I think it would be freaky to go on Mars because of all of the health risks.
