2  literature review

2.1 Review of the history of space exploration

Important events in the history of space exploration, such as the Apollo lunar program and the construction of the International Space Station, have not only driven technological progress, but also brought about a deeper exploration of the universe. From these historical events, we can see the importance of space exploration to the development of human civilization [2].

With the depletion of the earth's resources and the deterioration of the environment, mankind began to think about the necessity of establishing settlements on other planets. Mars, as the closest planet to Earth, has become the focus of human exploration. The teenagers not only colonized Mars, but also conducted simulation experiments to explore the possibility of survival on Mars.

These simulation experiments not only help teenagers to better understand the environment and challenges of the outer space, but also stimulate their desire to explore the future of technology. It can be seen that the Mars colonization program is not only a challenging scientific and technological goal, but also an opportunity to encourage young students to join the field of scientific and technological innovation.

Globally, the Mars colonization program is still in its infancy, but the enthusiasm and innovation of teenagers are it. It is believed that with the continuous progress of science and technology and the efforts of young people, human beings are expected to colonize Mars in the future and open a new chapter in space exploration.

2.2 Background and significance of Mars colonization

Figure 1: Background and significance of Mars colonization

Mars, as the most potential place outside Earth, is attracting more scientists and astronauts to explore [3]. The Mars colonization program is becoming a hot topic in science and technology. The colonization of Mars will be a milestone in human progress and development, driving innovation in technology and engineering. Mars continues to supply new resources and energy sources, which can help humans solve the problem of earth's resource depletion and environmental pollution. At the same time, Mars colonization can also promote international cooperation and civilized exchanges, and stimulate human enthusiasm for exploring the unknown space. Therefore, Mars colonization is not only a scientific and technological practice, but also a great course of human civilization, which will leave a profound impact on the future world.

2.3 The importance of youth's participation in space exploration

In the current space exploration, more and more teenagers are involved in the assumption and Mars colonization simulation experiments [4]. Their unique thinking and creativity have brought new energy and ideas to the scientific community. Youth participation in space exploration can not only stimulate their interest in science, but also cultivate more talents [5] for future scientific research. Through simulation experiments, teenagers can learn and explore the mysteries of space in a safe environment, preparing for the actual Mars exploration [6].

Mathematics plays a vital role in space exploration, such as using mathematical models to predict the orbits and trajectories of space vehicles. A common mathematical formula is Kepler's third law, which means that the square of the celestial revolution period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis. The formula can be expressed by a mathematical formula as follows:

Among them, T represents the revolution period of the celestial body, G represents the gravitational constant, M and m represent the masses of the two celestial bodies respectively, and a represents the semi-major axis of the celestial body. This formula helps scientists further study the operation rules of various celestial bodies in space and provides a reference for future exploration missions.

3 Theoretical framework and simulation experimental design for Mars colonization

3.1 The theoretical basis of Mars colonization

At present, the theoretical basis of Mars colonization mainly includes two aspects: one is the similarity between Mars and the Earth, and the other is the development of modern technology. Mars is the most similar planet in the solar system, with water ice on its surface and a similar atmosphere, thus potentially supporting the existence of life. At the same time, with the continuous progress of science and technology, human capabilities for space exploration and colonization have also been greatly improved, making Mars colonization no longer a distant dream.

To colonize Mars, the problem of living conditions needs to be solved first. Because Mars's climate is so harsh that organisms cannot survive in the outside environment, it is necessary to establish a closed living space to provide essential resources such as oxygen, water and food. At the same time, bioengineering technologies suitable for the Martian environment are needed to adapt to this new living environment.

Mars colonization needs to consider energy supply and transportation issues. Because of the long distance between Mars and Earth, transmitting resources and personnel will be a big challenge. Therefore, it is necessary to develop spacecraft technology to improve the flight speed and carrier weight to ensure the rapid and efficient transportation of resources and personnel.

In general, Mars colonization requires a combination of knowledge and skills in bioengineering technology, aerospace technology, and environmental and resource management. Only through unremitting efforts and continuous innovation can human beings truly realize the dream of colonization on Mars.

3.1 Purpose and method of simulation experiment design

Table 1: Design of the Mars colonization simulation experiment

To explore the possibility of colonizing Mars, we designed a simulation experiment designed to simulate the various situations and challenges of adolescent colonization on Mars. We will simulate the environment on the Martian surface, within the experimental facility, including gravity, atmospheric pressure, and climatic conditions. Next, we will recruit young volunteers to act as settlers on various missions and challenges in the simulated Martian environment.

In the experiment, we will examine the ability of teenagers to adapt to the Martian environment, including problem solving, collaboration, and coping with stress. We will record their performance during the course of the experiment and collect the data through questionnaires and observations. Ultimately, we will analyze the experimental results, summarize the key skills and cultivation methods of adolescents in colonizing Mars, and provide reference and suggestions for future Mars exploration and settlement.

3.3 Experimental scheme and steps

The theoretical framework for Mars colonization has been preliminarily established, and teenagers are full of curiosity and longing about this wonderful scientific exploration [7]. To get them deeper into the possibility of Mars colonization, we decided to conduct a simulation experiment.

We will build an environment similar to the Martian surface, including red soil, low oxygen air and so on. Next, we will recruit a group of volunteer teenagers to play the role of Mars colonists. Each person is given different tasks, such as growing plants, maintaining equipment, conducting scientific research, etc.

In the course of the experiment, we will simulate various possible challenges, such as insufficient supply of resources, emergency handling, so that teenagers can use their brains to solve problems. At the same time, we also organize regular seminars to share their thoughts and discoveries. Through such a simulation, teenagers will be able to have a deeper understanding of the difficulties and challenges of Mars colonization, as well as enhance their teamwork and problem-solving skills.

It is hoped that through this simulation experiment, it can stimulate teenagers' interest in space exploration, encourage them to join this field in the future, and strive for the human dream of [8]. Mars is no longer a distant unknown world, but the goal of young people to explore bravely!

4 The idea of Mars colonization and the results of simulation experiments

4.1 Teenagers' vision of colonizing Mars

Young people have various ideas of Mars colonization, some believe that the future colony of Mars should be a vibrant ecological environment with a landscape of trees, while others believe that high-tech living bases should be established so that residents can enjoy the most advanced technological life. They also have different concerns, some about the quality of life and environmental protection, while others focus more about the future technological development and the spirit of exploration.

In the simulation experiments, we found that teenagers have great interest and passion for Mars colonization, and they showed creativity and teamwork in simulating life on Mars. They are willing to face the difficulties and challenges that they have never met, seek ways to solve the problems, and constantly explore and try.

In general, the teenagers show a positive attitude and innovative ideas about Mars colonization, and their assumptions and simulation experiments are worth our in-depth study and reference. We believe that with their efforts, the future of Mars colonization will be even more brilliant achievements.

4.2 Analysis and discussion of simulation experimental results

By analyzing and discussing the results of the simulation experiment, we found that teenagers show great creativity and imagination in the vision of Mars colonization. They not only come up with innovative solutions, but also show their desire and courage to explore unknown territory. These traits are crucial to driving the development of space exploration [9].

Teenagers' participation in space exploration can not only stimulate their interest in learning and innovation ability, but more importantly, it can cultivate their sense of teamwork and problem-solving ability. In the simulation experiment, teenagers need to work together and work together to successfully complete the task. This spirit of teamwork will play an important role in the future of space exploration, helping them to better cope with various challenges.

The involvement of teenagers in Mars colonization and simulation experiments can also stimulate their interest and love for science and technology. Through personal experience and practice, they can have a more intuitive understanding of scientific principles and technology application, so as to stimulate the study and exploration of science. This is essential to training future scientists and engineers.

In general, the significance and impact of teenagers' participation in space exploration cannot be ignored. Their participation can not only inject fresh blood into the field of space exploration, but also cultivate future scientific and technological talents, and promote the pace of human exploration of the universe [10]. Let's expect teenagers to show more potential and energy in the field of space exploration!
