“…Because of the low elevation, there is a plentiful supply of water, and the potential for water to evaporate from the surface is modest. Many studies have also proved that the region is dominated by Fe/Mg-smectite to depths of at least one hundred meters [31] while the northern delta is dominated by Mg-carbonates [32,33]. It was also found that the western and the southern plains near the Jezero crater have an olivine bearing unit [34].…”

From the farthest reaches of the universe to our own galaxy, there are many different celestial bodies that, even though they are very different, each have their own way of being beautiful. Earth, the planet with the best location, has been home to people for as long as we can remember. Even though we cannot be more thankful for all that Earth has given us, the human population needs to grow so that Earth is not the only place where people can live. Mars, which is right next to Earth, is the answer to this problem. Mars is the closest planet and might be able to support human life because it is close to Earth and shares many things in common. This paper will talk about how the first settlement on Mars could be planned and consider a 1000-person colony and the best place to settle on Mars, and make suggestions for the settlement’s technical, architectural, social, and economic layout. By putting together assumptions, research, and estimates, the first settlement project proposed in this paper will suggest the best way to colonize, explore, and live on Mars, which is our sister planet.
