NASA says astronauts may live on Mars

The level of radiations on planet Mars seems to be similar to the level of radiations in the lower earth orbit, according to the data broadcast by Curiosity.
Preliminary measurements taken by Curiosity, the first such information gathered from the surface of a planet, supports the theory according to which astronauts might live on Mars for a limited period of time.
"Yes, astronauts can live on Mars" Don Hassler said, from the Boulder research institute in Colorado. Dan Hassler is the man who analyzes the information sent by radiation measurement tools.
The Curiosity space vehicle landed on Mars in August and, since then, the machine started to map the planet. The first results suggest that the level of radiations is similar to the level of radiations the astronauts from the International Space Station have to deal with.
