The UAE will build a whole town to simulate life on Mars Source:

Recent news about Mars and spilling from a cornucopia. NASA, SpaceX, Lockheed Martin – they all want to fly to the Red planet, and ideally live there. There is certainly, without a doubt, someday, but it will happen, but before that you need to prepare very carefully and weigh the pros and cons. And just such a practical solution of the question, not simple promises, engaged in the United Arab Emirates, also have their own plans for Mars. Do, of course, with the inherent scale. In the UAE no less resolved to build a city for the simulation, as is possible on Earth, the conditions of the Martian environment and the life in it.

Approval of the draft AED500 (the cost of implementation is around 136 million dollars) was announced recently at the annual meeting of the UAE government. The new municipality will be called "Mars science city" and will be part of a long-term plan, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum and Space center of the Emirates on the implementation of the ambitious Mars mission for establishment of human colonies on the red planet by 2117.

According to the construction plan, the area will be 177, 000 square meters, which is approximately equal to, say, the same Sochi. Published in "Twitter" the message of the Prime Minister of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid has described the plan as "outstanding national project".

The Development plan of the city, which will consist of several huge futuristic buildings in the form of domes, were created by the renowned Danish architect Bjarke Ingels and his, in collaboration with engineers and scientists of the Emirates. Inside these buildings you will find a number of laboratories that will be engaged in finding solutions in the provision of food, energy and water on the Martian colonists. As noted by the government Agency of Dubai Media Office, there will also be a large Museum dedicated to the most important human achievements, the walls of which are created using a 3D printer and sand of the Emirates.

Of Course, some things in the city to produce don't have because, fortunately, our planet has it. First and foremost, of course, talking about the oxygen. In addition, residents will be fully protected against the background radiation of Mars. Our neighbor, unfortunately, there is no magnetic field, which in our case, protects us from harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Gravity on Mars is also different. She is only 38 percent of the earth, in addition, on the red planet is much colder. The average temperature there is in the area of -50 degrees Celsius. Laboratories will try to find ways the closest simulation of the Mars environment, and will develop options that will allow under such circumstances to live long on this planet.

"Project Mars 2117 is dolgoprudnoye project, where our first goal is to develop information and educational base so that our sons could lead research in various sectors," — said Sheikh Mohammed, first announcing the plan "2117 Mars" in February of this year.

"a man's ambitions have no borders. And those who follow scientific discoveries in the current century will certainly agree that human abilities and desires allow you to implement even the most daring dreams."
