Internal Study / Programming Efforts Coming to Fruition

The internal study group of the Mars Homestead Project is progressing rapidly towards a coherent plan for initial Martian settlement. Our group of dedicated volunteer engineers, scientists and students have been hard at work over the past several months refining their respective discipline concepts. This group has grown to include several individual who have brought a wealth of industrial and academic experience to the task of investigating Mars based mining, refining and manufacturing options. With their help, we will be wrapping up our high-level programming effort in the next several months. Look forward to exciting new content coming soon!

In other news, our general discussion message board has been subject to a flurry of activity, with enthusiastic participation by individuals around the world. This forum has hosted in the past several months dicussion on a wide variety of topics related to Martian settlement. The members of the Mars Homestead Project would like to express their appreciation to all of you who have contributed to this dicussion, and we hope that you will all continue to help us move forward in our quest to Arrive, Survive & Thrive!
