Martian Living Cost Infographics

This Chart Details the Money It Would Take for Living on Mars

Have you ever thought about living on Mars? Maybe that new apartment you're looking at is nice, but what about a planet all to yourself? Maybe that's a bit of a fantasy, but consider for a minute if you could actually go live there right now in 2013. This infographic takes that possibility seriously for a moment and forecasts the costs of living on Mars.

For instance, watching the most popular YouTube video of all time, Gangnam Style, would cost you over $37,000. It would actually be cheaper if you called home for a few minutes, because a one minute call would cost just over $200.

Now obviously these figures are purely speculative, but this infographic provides some insight into just what it would take to live on the red planet up above.
