Earth has provided us with all necessities for survival, but with limited resources and a growing population, it is time for us to explore other celestial bodies. This paper will discuss the conceptual design for the first city-state on Mars, proposing the most optimal means to explore and colonize our sister planet.
The vast universe, from its unfathomable ends to our very own Milky Way galaxy, is comprised of numerous celestial bodies-disparate yet each having their uniqueness. Amongst these bodies exist only a handful that have an environment that can nurture and sustain life. The Homo sapiens species has inhabited the planet, which is positioned in a precise way-Earth. It is an irrefutable truth that the planet Earth has provided us with all necessities for survival-for the human race to flourish and prosper and make scientific and technological advancements. Humans have always had an innate ardor for exploration-and now, since they have explored every nook and corner of this planet, inhabiting it and utilizing its resources, the time has come to alleviate the burden we have placed upon Earth to be the sole life-sustaining planet. With limited resources in our grasp and an ever-proliferating population, it is the need of the hour that we take a leap and go beyond the planet for inhabitation-explore the other celestial objects in our galaxy. Then, however, there arises a confounding conundrum-where do we go? The answer is right next to our home-the Red Planet, Mars. Space scientists have confirmed that Mars has conditions to support life and is the closest candidate for human inhabitation. The planet has certain similarities to Earth and its proximity provides us with convenient contact. This paper will be dealing with the conceptual design for the first city-state on Mars. Aggregating assumptions, research, and estimations, this first settlement project shall propose the most optimal means to explore, inhabit and colonize our sister planet, Mars.
