Presentation of a proposed Mars Hillside Base. It would be built by a dozen people and automated construction equipment. The estimated cost would be about the same as round trip missions, because the saving in fuel for the return trips can be used to send manufacturing equipment.
Partially designed at MIT by the Mars Homestead team of the Mars Foundation.
