A team of researchers concluded that you only need 22 colonists to survive and successfully maintain a Mars colony.
To the team, these previous efforts made assumptions that simply didn't stand up to reality.
"The scenario where you can simply send X number of people somewhere and just let them survive is very unlikely," she said, "also because it actually costs much more to send tens and hundreds of people into space than sending resupply shuttles." "Martians with the 'neurotic' psychology die at a much higher rate than those of other psychologies, and once their population reaches a low enough level, the settlement population stabilizes," the paper reads.
