Just as the travelers to Mars may face solar storms during their journey to Mars, the Puritans endured the hardships of the sea storms. The Puritans’ voyage was filled with storms and windstorms.

While the Puritan food options included a variety of crops and fish, the new Martians will have a food choice of freeze dried and canned food only.

During their training process “The astronauts will be required to learn many new skills and gain proficiency in a wide variety of disciplines” (Mars one). Each astronaut (new Martian) will specialize in multiple areas of expertise in order to support the survival of all the astronauts. These multiple areas of expertise include extensive medical training in order to treat minor and critical health problems, training in studies on Mars geology, and studies in ‘exobiology,’ physiotherapy, psychology, and electronics. The individuals travelling to Mars will have technology and other resources to help them adapt to their new planet, and unlike the Puritans, they will be well-versed in all their
