Inflatable Habitats as the Vital Component for Establishing a Mars Colony

I can only imagine what life on Mars would be like!! I think it would be a LOT of fun!!
Who writes this crsp? He stated there is a 30 psi differences inside module to outside, no, no, no, if you pressure the module to 14.7 psi (sea level standard) and you would probably use a bit lower, then you will have 14.7 psi differential. Space at 0 psi, module at 14.7. Jeezzus, its like they don't even care, just pump out some clap trap, and collect their money.
Nope. Domes like that will NOT protect you from the cosmic rays and radiation that people will have to face on Mars. Mars has no magnetosphere and a VERY thin atmosphere (less than 1% of Earth's) like what protects Earth. They need to bury any facilities for people 16 feet in the soil. Literally it would be best if Elon sent computer controlled bulldozers to strip the soil down to 16 feet in the area. Then maybe they can install the habitats. Then the soil would likely need to be mixed with something like a concrete and sprayed over the habitats. After they set up solid the rest of the soil could be heaped over everything.
Elon needs to abandon the idea of solar panels and set up a nuclear reactor on Mars. To operate these larger machines, drill for ice, process ice into Oxygen and drinking water, and when water is mixed with Co2 (which makes up about 99% of Mars's thin atmosphere) he can make Methane. He needs to be able to make Oxygen and Methane for the return trip and water and Oxygen for humans to survive. They also need to prepare a land/launch pad. These all really need to be done before they send humans for them to have a decent chance to survive and ever return. So if Elon makes it to Mars in say 10 years it will take at least another 20 years to set up enough to make a trip to Mars more than a suicide mission.
To make matters worse the trip itself will require shielding to protect the passengers from the radiation and cosmic rays and they must set up some sort of centrifugal forces by splitting the ship and rotating it or the crew will be so weak when they get to Mars they might not survive. We are also not sure what the long term effects of being on Mars's weaker gravity (39% of Earth's). It might be we can never set up a colony there and will only be able to have a research station that could be used for maybe 18 months at a time. With likely 4-6 months travel time each way this is a brutal trip for anybody and they will take months if not years to recover after.
highly math challenged…have math checked by a 4th grader for accuracy…
Wow blow up dolls to live in on a different planet I'm in make sure only white people get to go
Interesting…assume these Inflatables would be Impervious to Radiation, (8-10 Rads/Year), and temperatures at -60 to -80 Deg, and 60 to 80 MPH Winds. …better Stake those Balloon Tents Down pretty hard. Gotta be made of some Exotic Inflatable Plastics or Fiber I've never heard of. AND why Mars? Install em on the Moon for early construction Crews; No Wind, 1/6 gravity … But still have a RAD and Meteorite problem. Regardless … One could get Off The Moon in Emergency or Rescue and back to Earth in 4 to 5 days….On Mars, you're likely dead.
