This year
The Mars Society held
Mars Colony Prize - a contest for
"the best plan for a Mars colony of 1000 people. The colony should be self-supporting to the maximum extent possible - i.e. relying on a minimum mass of imports from Earth. The goal is to have the colony be able to produce all the food, clothing, shelter, power, common consumer products, vehicles, and machines for 1000 people, with only the minimum number of key components, such as advanced electronics needing to be imported from Earth." According to speculations laid out in our
Mars Colonization Timeline the first human base on Mars could reach a thousand inhabitants by
late 2040s.
The
winners of the contest were chosen at the International Mars Society convention in Los Angeles, California in October 2019. Here are images of the
