Line 1: Line 1:
Colonists on [[Mars]] will live under special circumstances, possibly causing psychological problems. There might be the risk of somebody '''running amok''', endangering the whole [[colony]]. The following attacks are possible:
+
#redirect [[human failure]]
* Destruction of life support ([[oxygen]], [[temperature]], [[water]])
 
* Contamination of [[air]] or [[food]] with radioactive, chemical or bacteriological substances
 
* Destruction or contamination of [[greenhouse]]s
 
* Disconnection or destruction of [[energy]] network
 
* Disconnection or destruction of [[internet|telecommunication]] network
 
* Explosion, causing drop in air pressure
 
* Destruction of [[vehicles]] that are needed to reach peripheral sites of the colony
 
* Destruction of [[equipment]] that is needed for maintenance of vital systems
 
 
 
This risk and the implications can be mitigated by some precautions. This page is meant to develop preventive concepts to make the colony safe against such attacks.
 
 
 
==Psychological surveillance==
 
Periodic testing and group training can help to diagnose and counteract psychological illnesses early.
 
 
 
==Technical precautions==
 
The [[Fail-safe]] principles are mandatory for [[building]]s and vital systems. For a single person it must not be possible to create a situation that causes a complete failure in the colony.
