What are some of the major environmental challenges that a Martian habitat must address, according to the video?

Toxic atmosphere, lack of gravity and water, extreme temperature swings, and dust storms.

Describe the composition of the Mars-relevant material used by AI Space Factory, and explain why each component was chosen.

The material is a composite of basalt (a common rock on Mars) and a plastic polymer made from corn. Basalt provides strength and is readily available on Mars, while the biopolymer is renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable.
