Phase-II Task: Mars Exploration 

 

Background: 

In the future, the Earth, hopefully, would not be the only planet humans can live on. As Elon Musk revealed, empowered by SpaceX, we might build a city of 1 million people on Mars by 2050.

Please search for information on what challenges humans would need to overcome in order to live on Mars for long, and make your own creative works using MatataBot and your imagination!

Your creation may be inspired by the following dimensions.

  1. What does a community built by humans on Mars look like?
  2.  What resources can be developed on Mars?
  3. What difficulties do you need to overcome to live on Mars? How do you overcome these barriers?
