“MARS HABITABILITY
Artist's concept of living quarters covered with soil to shield the crew from the sun’s radiation. The extended base has greenhouse and a pressurized work facility where full spacesuits would not be required. This artist conception (being released by NASA) was provided by CASE FOR MARS, an independent organization concerned with a Mars mission.”

“MISSION TO MARS
Artist's concept: astronauts use first 3 shuttles covered with "Mars dirt" to begin their Mars colony. This artist conception (being released by NASA) was provided by CASE FOR MARS, an independent organization concerned with a Mars mission.”
At:
“The shuttles release parachutes and then fire rockets for a soft landing on Mars. As the new crew arrives, the old crew leaves to rendezvous with the main spacecraft for the return voyage.”
Wow…who knew??? I didn’t. Did you???
Ranging from the artist, Carter Emmart (I think…possibly), if so, identified only because several of his works pertaining to this striking & creative series of who knows how many works (to include this one), eluded NASA/JPL? obfuscation, it apparently being part of the Mars Foundation’s “Mars Homestead Project”…still viewable FOR NOW (only as thumbnails), from its apparently defunct website…is this “available”.
Bits & pieces of this stunning visual record are strewn all over the place, with no rhyme or reason. The fact that this is one of many images of a storyboard is the only PASS NASA/JPL gets for the cursory caption. Other than that, yet another EPIC FAIL for preservation of [fill in the blank]. This is what’s available at the abysmal NASA Image/Video “library”, when searching on the root “AC87-0736-“ photo identification number:
images.nasa.gov/search-results?q=AC87-0736-&page=1&am...
And this, at one of multiple defunct NASA sites. AT LEAST they accidentally got this right, as it’s “being kept online for historical purposes”:
www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/news/releases/2004/mars/mars.html
It’s still TOTAL BS.
I GET IT - you can’t preserve, record, log, document, describe, etc., etc., everything. STILL – from my inconsequential foxhole – I’ve seen absolutely MINIMAL improvement, results, effort??? of such. At least since I’ve been posting my crap to the internet vacuum…and that’s been since 2016. I reiterate, that’s from MY foxhole, which I also acknowledge don’t mean shit & has NO weight.
YET, I’ve come across (at the active/’maintained’ website above) an absurd abundance of recent/contemporary, bland and IMHO, inconsequential images of otherwise great Americans performing mundane tasks at NASA, seemingly taken with the camera in burst mode…and it’s like W – T – F - OVER?! Those seem to be uploaded in earnest.
IN-FU-RI-A-TING.
One of the disjointed, standalone, but pertinent & informative tidbits:
Biconic Aerocapture Vehicle
Huh?
A combination of that, parachutes AND powered descent? Really? Seems excessive, but cool.

“Mars colony of the future SR229 (October 1980)”
I’m assuming Rockwell International as the originator, the artist being the talented, previously elusive, enigmatic, mysterious & chameleon-like (due to his/her signature change/evolution: all caps/block —> mixed case/cursive), Manuel E. Alvarez.
Despite there being plenty of [fill in the heavenly body] circular, concentric, spoked, radial…base, colony, habitat, depot, city, etc. concepts available online - I could not find the image anywhere.
Neither could I find anything on “SR229”.
Nor whatever (if anything?) was possibly convened in October of 1980…conference, symposium, workshop, etc. Nor any evidence of some relevant/pertinent documentation published that month.
And, varied/multiple combinations of the aforementioned ‘key words’ yielded nothing.
Pretty frustrating, and the recurring feeling of “I know I’ve seen this...somewhere”.

As a planet which used to have exactly the right qualities to allow a life system, and the closest one to have new potential for life, a debate has sprung up about whether humans should go to Mars to help speed the observation process along. In the 20th century, Percival Lowell, a US astronomer, wrote a book about “canals on Mars”, which caused a major global ET (extraterrestrial) obsession.
So I made a moc that represents this idea. The NASA guy is showing a futuristic image of what might happen in the future about the Mars colonization.
If you look at it closely, it kind of looks like Tatooine! haha :)
Let me know what you think in the comments!
SO SHOULD WE?

Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas. It is a rocket launch facility owned by Elon Musk. It's the main location for producing and testing Starship launch vehicles, which are key to SpaceX's plans to colonize Mars.
Starhopper was a prototype rocket built by SpaceX to test the Raptor engine and the Starship program. It was the first prototype of the Starship program. It had a single engine and was test flown to develop landing and low-altitude/low-velocity control algorithms.
After it completed its testing campaign Starhopper was repurposed as a water tank, weather station and equipment mount for cameras, lights, loudspeakers and a radar system.
