This creates a thermal seal and layer of radiation protection around the buildings, creating an underground layer with surface access that totally seems at home on a cold desert planet as much as a New Mexico earthship development. Digger robots begin creating a pit and accumulating regolith material (surface soil, essentially.) Transporters move it over inflatable habitat modules, and smelt it into a sort of iron adobe construction material with the help of Melter robots. NASA is courting the 3D printing community with ideas for structures that could be created with materials from the Red Planet, but one from Foster + Partners is particularly amazing.Įssentially, it starts with robotic landings on the surface.
When it comes to building a Mars colony, it's going to have to be locally sourced unless we haul dozens of tons worth of material to the Red Planet – an unfeasible cost.
