Artist's concept of a settlement on Mars

Settlements on Mars are planned to be a permanent habitat for human beings. The Mars Foundation™ is developing detailed plans for a Hillside settlement and a Plains settlement.

Additionally, a volcanic cave settlement and a multi-layered vault settlement are considered.

The only way I'd ever go for 3D is if you could include flyeybs (another word, mercilessly slaughtered by the myst fanatic ), and those cool cut-scenes after you finish the big puzzles. You know; the Marble-roller-coaster and the Bird flight from Exile. And Sirrus' Crystal-tube-slide from Revelations. If you could make some of those in the movie, THEN 3D would work .

Why settlements on Mars?

Compared with other celestial bodies, for instance Earth's Moon, the planet Mars provides a number of advantages. The Martian surface and atmosphere consists of all necessary substances that are needed to build and maintain a human settlement, including water, carbon and minerals. The environmental conditions are quite cold, but not too cold. The distance from the sun allows solar panels to operate, which is essential for energy production.

Particularly convenient is the existence of a visible sky, which can make people feel home, and the day-night rhythm is nearly earth like. Though the gravity is lower than on Earth, it still allows people easily to walk and do exercise. The spacial orientation is supported. The comfort of sinking into a pillow for sleeping might be appreciated. And yet, there are several things, settlers would miss.

Advantage over Earth's moon

  • Higher gravity (with consequences for health)
  • abundance of water and carbon
