Mars is dry, Mars is dead, Mars is hell. Oh yeah and in Doom there’s also demons.
In DOOM you are stranded on a human installation on the martian surface.
It gets its name from the Roman God of War, fitting considering for all intents and purposes, Mars is desolate wasteland even without the demons.
Oh and those, those aren’t clouds of vapor water, those are the a signs of a deadly dust storm heading your way. If you were wondering if you could escape, no, no you can’t. Often times dust storms circle the entire planet leaving the surface hidden from orbit. The fourth rock from the sun also hides some other dangers, even some more lethal than the onslaught of demons.
From space, we can already begin to identify why mars is so hostile. There is no magnetic field to shield the planet from harmful radiation and solar wind. Demons aren’t the only foreign invaders wreaking havoc on the planet either. In 2004, the largest single gamma ray burst was recorded entering the solar system from a magnetar around 50,000 light years away. It released more energy in one tenth of a second than our sun had releases in the last 100,000 years. Any living creature on the planet would have its DNA shredded leading to more macroscopic transformations and ultimately death.
Mars is a dry, hostile wasteland. With a red tinted surface, Mars appears to be viciously hot and in the game fires appear on the surface. But the fires have got to be other worldly because there isn’t enough atmosphere on the planet to sustain a flame. Not to mention, the average surface temperature of the planet is around -47C (-52F). [At it’s coldest the surface drops down to a bitter -143C (-225F)].
If the the cold doesn’t affect you then you’re probably a demon, but something more deadly than the thin, cold, unbreathable air is the toxic soil. Perchlorate is a toxic chemical found in high concentrations on the surface that interferes with the body's metabolic functions leading to poor temperature regulation, sleeping disorders, and certain blood diseases. The habitat would need to be flushed of this toxic dust if a sustainable habitat were to exist.
In spite of its toxic nature, perchlorate could be mined and stripped of its oxygen atoms, providing the player and the habitat with a constant supply of breathable air. Something the demons don’t seem to need.
In DOOM, Mars is overrun with demons… or are they martians? In history, the line between the extraterrestrial and the demonic has rarely been well defined. In reality, a portal to Hell could just as likely be a portal to another world with inhabitants who are searching for a new home. In the game, a lot of similarities can be made between Hell and Mars, and the demons appear to be perfectly designed to survive on the planet. Much more so than the humans even.
Would you want to explore mars? Let me know in the comments. Anyways guys, thanks for watching.
