The Mars Technology Institute has been set up to pave the way for human exploration and advance technological developments to form a colony on the red planet.
Zubrin noted that most necessary resources needed to support human settlement are already on Mars; however, essential technological developments are required to transform the materials into fuel, oxygen, food, bricks, cement, metals, glass, fabrics, plastics, energy, and labor power.
Addressing its scarcity of land, Mars must pioneer advancements in biotechnology, encompassing genetic engineering, microbial food production, advanced agricultural systems such as aquaponics, and synthetic biology. “Our current research is not driven by the same constraints and optimization directions as would be faced on the Red Planet, specifically the need to produce food at scale with extreme limitations of arable land,” a statement by the organization said.
“If we tried to augment production by supplying artificial light at 200 W per square meter , we would need 10 Gigawatts of electricity, about a third of the total power consumption of Australia!” Zubrin noted. , we will decisively refute the canard that space advocates do not care about the basic needs of people on Earth.”The new institute concentrating on the red planet’s human exploration will strive to be a non-profit organization and seek its funding from tax-deductible donations. MTI will also establish a C-Corp – the Mars Technology Lab .
