However, temperatures range from around -220 degrees F. in the wintertime at the poles, to +70 degrees F. We know that fire can only burn naturally on our planet, and Mars doesn’t have a dense atmosphere or enough oxygen to allow flames to burn – but space station and spacecraft fires are a very real danger, and with crews living and working in close proximity, fire would be disastrous.
