Could tough bacteria hold the secret to building habitats on Mars? A recent research paper suggests that extremophile microbes, which thrive in Earth’s harshest conditions, might help us use Martian soil to create sturdy structures for human life. These resilient organisms could pave the way for sustainable living on the Red Planet, making the dream of colonization a possible reality.
