Our
Mission: |
|
|
To provide an environment where anyone can
experience what it would be like to have to live entirely in a confined,
closed system, where you are constantly concerned about oxygen, water, food,
and waste disposal, and where you know you cannot simply open the door and
take a walk! Sound like fun?
I think so. I confess – I’m still 9 years old at heart! But of course,
now, I really wouldn’t want to do it for more than two nights and three
days. I’ve looked around and there are
several places on Earth that offer a “Mars Experience” but they are serious
research-oriented requiring any participant to be a bonafide
researcher and require minimum stays of more than a week, or they are upscale
tourist destinations that don’t actually put you in a closed environment. Our Concept: Accommodate up to 8 persons for 2 to 3 night
stays in a 17 ft diameter “habitat” with attached airlock
and sanitation modules. The first habitat on Mars probably isn’t going to be
much bigger than that! Each morning, we don self-contained space/environmental suits, enter the airlock, then
exit to the outside, and make excursions across the “alien” landscape (most
probably Arizona or Utah) in a solar-powered rover, collecting samples,
exploring what it is like to “explore” in a space suit (adult and
child-sizes), and even other attractions I have in mind. Upon return to the habitat, we must enter
the airlock and, not until we are inside and the habitat sealed, remove our
suits. Meals will be really, really
basic! No fine cuisine or “cooking” with
open flame, just as one would expect as the first humans on Mars. If you like
MRE’s, then you will get along fine on Mars! As the habitat will be
solar-powered, activities while inside the habitat would include electronic
gaming, videos, maybe even a hand of bridge and talking to each other! What a
concept! Plus, plenty of educational videos about Mars and space exploration.
And the really great thing about it – if you panic and really need to get
out, you are still on Earth! There’s
the door – just open it! In fact, the space suits will not be truly
self-contained – you will be breathing outside air from a portable
air-conditioning pack and can open your helmet visor at anytime.
The location will be within cell service and accessible to EMT. Water, food (simple though it will be), air
(the habitat will not actually be air-tight), waste
disposal, and space suits will be provided.
Wear what you want – but pack light!
After all, you’re going to Mars on a rocket that is REALLY weight
restricted! |
