THE FIRST 10,000 DAYS ON MARS (TIMELAPSE)

In 2035, the first settlers land on Mars after a long journey from Earth. The colony is harsh, with an average temperature of 63 degrees Celsius or minus 81 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum of 20 degrees Celsius 68 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer at the equator. Wind storms are common on Mars, and quakes orbiters that are monitoring the climate warn astronauts of incoming dust storms and changes in the weather. The year 2035 will be known as the great crossing Earth and Mars are closer than usual this is known as a perihelic opposition. A fleet of starships full of fuel cargo and passengers is waiting in low earth orbit when the launch window opens, and they fly as a fleet to Mars. The journey is shortened from seven months to five and hundreds of settlers land on the red planet.

The first restaurant on Mars opened serving bioprinted food including meat. The first bioprinter arrived and was used at the hospital to test the printing of human parts. The first fully autonomous orbiting manufacturing station arrived in Mars's orbit. The colony produced all of its own power, breathable air, water, food and fuel. Woody plants were thriving in vast enclosed greenhouse domes built over melted ice lakes near the equator. The first strands of grass were found growing wild on the martian surface escaped seedlings from the greenhouses were attempting to survive on the surface of Mars. Foreign seedlings were also found growing.
