Mars is not &#8216;planet B&#8217; as it does not have the same characteristics as Earth, and would not be a sustainable option for humans to continue their existence, especially since we as a species are perfectly suited for Earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That being said the implementation of closed-loop systems seen in space to a terrestrial scenario, here on Earth, could be one way of increasing the longevity of this planet. In addition, applying these closed-loop environments and practices would serve us well in preventing and controlling viral infections. Taking inspiration from such examples the goal would be to design systems that resemble &#8216;mini Earths&#8217; to be used in cases where air pollution is significantly dangerous or if Earth should become uninhabitable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the scope of this project, I will be looking to create a product or system that will enhance our lives here on Earth, should the air become too polluted while also protecting us from future viral outbreaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~ <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 33 million confirmed cases and over 1 million deaths caused by COVID-19, as reported to the World Health Organization, highlights the need for better response systems to control this pandemic and prevent future ones.
