JUST NEED U TO SEE ME What would we need to start a colony on Mars?
My ideas are soil, trees, and plants, water, those plant heat lamps, airtight domes, solar panels, and rocket fuel.
Any more stuff we need to pack???
(I mean global warming and all)

Equipment needed for colonization. Colonization of Mars would require a wide variety of equipment—both equipment to directly provide services to humans and production equipment used to produce food, propellant, water, energy and breathable oxygen—in order to support human colonization efforts.

many other transport proteins, often called pumps, move materials against a concentration gradient. active transport drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. this process, shown in figure 5.1, uses transport proteins powered by chemi- cal energy.
