Mars base, artwork C018 / 8567
Mars base. Artwork of a base (left) on Mars. A manned base on Mars could be constructed from prefabricated sections brought from Earth or from materials manufactured using resources found on Mars. Such bases are necessary because the Martian environment is inhospitable for human explorers. The pressure of the atmosphere is less than one percent of Earth s. Mars is a rocky desert world with no surface water. The atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide and surface temperatures are well below freezing. In the background is an erosion feature called a mesa. A manned rover (centre right) is being used for surface travel

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mars base, artwork C018 / 8567" takes us on a visual journey to the red planet. In this stunning illustration, we witness the potential future of human exploration and colonization on Mars. On the left side, a meticulously constructed base stands proudly amidst the barren Martian landscape. This base could be assembled using prefabricated sections transported from Earth or utilizing resources found on Mars itself. The necessity for such bases becomes apparent when considering the inhospitable nature of Mars. The thin atmosphere with less than one percent pressure compared to Earth's, absence of surface water, freezing temperatures, and carbon dioxide-rich air make it an extremely challenging environment for human explorers. Intriguingly, in the background lies a mesmerizing erosion feature known as a mesa - a testament to Mars' unique geological formations waiting to be explored further. A manned rover can be seen in action at the center-right portion of the image; it serves as an essential mode of transportation across this desolate desert-like terrain. This thought-provoking artwork not only showcases our technological advancements but also ignites our curiosity about space exploration and humanity's potential beyond our home planet. It reminds us that colonizing Mars is not just science fiction but rather an ambitious goal that requires innovation and determination from scientists and engineers alike.
