Introduction

Earth is dying.

There are too many people and not enough resources. We don’t have enough food, and we won’t ever have enough food again for the number of people now on Earth, there are just too many to feed. We must leave Earth and find somewhere new to call our home.

The great news though is that we have identified Mars as an excellent planet to build a new colony on. Space X has a plan to get us there, and we are looking for scientists to help design what the new colony will look like on Mars. There are many things to think about to be able to survive on the planet, and we need your help.
