Makes it possible to see what living on mars might look like. this two story, 53 square metre inflatable structure was designed by a team of experts who specialise in creating buildings for extreme environment, including antarctica. it is powered both solar panels and can cope with an average temperature of 63 celsius, but there are also a number of other urgent issues to consider. the key thing about when you re living on mars is you need your buildings to be completely airtight, because the atmosphere outside is essentially poisonous. you then need to be able to keep out all the dangerous solar and cosmic radiation so you need to have the outside made of something which will keep all those dangerous rays out. so, our house partially would be built underground, in the amazing lava tubes which exist under the surface of mars that s where the bedrooms and bathrooms would be. and then aboveground would be the living room, this gold inflatable section that you see behind us, and that w
