    Nice city on Mars.
    Maybe something to think about when moving again Smile
    Also good to see that there are possibilities for mankind on other planets.

    As a Trekkie I have to say I'm minorly disappointed at the location. It'd have been loads better if the first city was at Utopia Planitia.

    This is super cool though overall

    As someone who is about to graduate from architecture school, this got me pretty excited! I also feel compelled as an architecture nerd to share with you this upcoming project from French architect Jean Nouvel, which shares some similarities with the Mars city, albeit at a much smaller scale. https://www.dezeen.com/2020/10/27/sh...audi-arabia/#/

    This is pretty cool. It reminds me of some of the engineering elements that were described in Kim Stanley Robinson's "Red Mars" book.
