WHAT
Our civilization will be community based and a true democracy, so everyone will feel part of the new beginning. Jobs will be plentiful and life will be rich with new experiences and adventures. Mars is none of the less our do over for earth, we will build a new community, new laws, new structures never seen, and new technology beyond our techniques. There will be no currency on mars, for reasons like the wealth gap, and health, education purposes. We will create a system known as "nature table" where every business will provide their goods and services for the well being of all people.
WHERE
We will create a thriving community that lives above and below the surface. Our underground habitats will be in caves and lava tubes, as well as in dug-out areas. The above ground habitats will be Zopherus designed 3D printed modules. These homes will be made of the Martian soil in order to protect from radiation. The modules will be connected, to neighboring modules.
WHEN
Point 8 is planning on making contact with Mars in the "opposition" time. This time comes every 26 months, when Earth has orbited twice and Mars has orbited once. Connecting the dots from point A (Earth) to point B (Mars) will take approximately 9 months in counting. Our departure time will be around the year of 2024. This is a path our species must take in order to thrive instead of die.
WHY
People are multiplying quickly and the Earth suffers from that. Climate change is among us and the natural disasters are accumulating. The human race has to advance. Our species was meant for greatness. We were built with thumbs for goodness sakes! It is our nature to explore and to improve our lives. Many people result to blaming society for earths destruction, but we are society. The world has surpassed it's limit, so we must take the human kind else where.
