Synthetic Biology will Supply the Future Missions to Mars

The problems to Mars missions and colonization are closely related to the great distances between Mars and Earth. The problems of supplying the mission during the long distance journey are hard to solve. The scientists are trying to solve this problem by developing synthetic fuel, materials and food. Synthetic fuel could be produced by turning carbon dioxide into methane. Food could be produced by microbiological farming and minerals could be used for materials for 3D printing. By using these technologies, the necessary fuel and food load could be decreased by 50 percent. Although these technologies are still in development, the first testing could be used for a Moon base, before missions to Mars.
