Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ina tae mai ki te noho i runga i a Mars, kotahi tonu te raru nui ka pā ki ngā kaiāwhina āpōpō: te hāora, te kore rānei. Engari he taputapu e kiia nei ko Moxie - te Mars Oxygen In-situ Resource Utilisation Experiment - ka taea te whakarato i tētahi rongoā. Ka ngana ki te huri i te hāora ki te hāora i runga i te Mars ka kawea ki te ao whero e te rover NASA hou i te 2020 - a ka taea e ia te tohu ki nga hangarau rite i runga i nga misioni tangata. Kei te waihanga te Massachusetts Institute of Technology i tētahi taputapu mō Mars. I huaina ko Moxie (e whakaaturia ana i konei i roto i tenei whakaahua) ka ngana ki te huri i te waro o te aorangi ki te hāora. Ka kawea atu ki te aorangi whero e tētahi rover hou o NASA kāore i te whakaingoatia i te tau 2020. I a ia e kōrero ana ki a Business Insider, ka whakamārama te kaupapa a Jeffrey Hoffman, he kaipūkaha o mua, ā, ko ia hoki te kaihautū matua o te taputapu. "Ko te wa tuatahi ka whakaputa tatou i te hāora i runga i te mata o Mars", ka mea ia. Ko tēnei waka o te whakatupuranga e whai ake nei, ko te kaiwhaiwhai o te rover Curiosity, me ngā pūmārō me ngā pūrere whakahoutia hei tirotiro i ngā toka o Mars. Ka aromatawai te rover i te āheinga o te taiao kia ora ai te tangata i roto i te rā kotahi, ā, ka rapu i ngā tohu o te ora o Mars. Ka kitea, ka kohikohi i tētahi kohinga o ngā tauira toka me te oneone, ka taea e ia te tuku mai ki te Ao, mā tētahi atu waka ā-ao i tētahi rā i te heke mai. Kua kī a Tākuta Charles Elachi, kaiwhakahaere o te Jet Propulsion Laboratory o NASA, ko te kohikohi i tētahi tauira toka, me te whakahoki mai ki te Ao, ko te kaupapa matua o NASA. E tino hiahia ana ngā kaipūtaiao ki ngā tauira kia taea ai e rātau te mārama ki ngā mōrearea e puta mai ana i te puehu o Mars, me te whakaatu me pēhea te hanga hāora - he taipitopito nui hei whakaaro mō ngā misioni tangata ki Mars me te whakanohotanga o te ao ā muri ake nei. Ko te rover te taahiraa nui e whai ake nei ki te whakatutuki i te wero a te Perehitini Obama ki te tuku tangata ki Mars i nga tau 2030. Ko te hau o Mars e 96 ōrau te hāora hāora me te iti iho i te 0.2 ōrau te hāora, engari e tūmanako ana te rōpū ki te huri i te tuatahi ki te 99.6 ōrau...
Kei te waihanga te Massachusetts Institute of Technology i tētahi taputapu Mars. Ka kīia ko Moxie ka ngana ki te huri i te hauotawa waro o te aorangi hei hāora. Ka kawea atu ki te aorangi whero e tētahi rover hou a NASA i te tau 2020. Ko te hau o Mars he 96% waro hāora me te iti iho i te 0.2% hāora. Ka taea e te hurihanga te whakarato hinu me te hau mō ngā misioni tangata ā muri ake nei.
