Mars Cities and Domed Craters

Paraterraforming (or World House Design) is a subset of Terraforming where we build huge structures which may cover a large fraction of a world’s surface. A key advantage is that it is usually much faster than terraforming but it can enable larger habitable areas than just making capsules or buildings. LAVA architects and others have …

Zero-boil-off Space Fuel Depots

One crucial area to enable trips to Mars is the long-duration storage of cryogenic propellants in various space environments. Relevant propellants include liquid Hydrogen (LH2) for high specific impulse Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) which can be deployed in strategic locations in advance of a mission. Such LH2 storage tanks could be used to refill a …
