Description:
Want to open up a new world to live in?
This workshop's goal is to develop a technical plan to start flexible
manufacturing
and growing food on Mars, using materials made on Mars (in-situ),
with minimum equipment brought from Earth.
Details will be worked out by you, the participants,
but may include 3D printing, recycling and production of polymers on-site,
production of other building materials, and on-site assembly of
habitats and greenhouses.
Portions can be adapted from past designs by the Mars Foundation and other
plans.
If there is interest, we can include Mars rover design, social,
economic, political aspects, and suggestions for a business plan.
Please contact us early, if possible, to help our scheduling.
Attendance at most morning sessions is expected.
Additional design sessions may be scheduled in the afternoons at your
convenience.
