Elon Musk's idea of putting humans on Mars could become a reality. This came after ABIBOO revealed a blueprint for over five Martian settlements, including Nüwa, the space capital.
Nüwa - the capital and one of five cities planned at Tempe Mensa in the Tharsis area of Mars - is constructed vertically rather than horizontally into a cliff's side, Daily Mail claimed. The latter of which is deadly without shelter due to atmospheric pressure and radiation.
ABIBOO: How The City Works
ABIBOO's founder, Alfredo Munoz, said that they had to do much computing-based research and consult with scientists to explain the circumstances.
"We have to face challenges that are very specific to the conditions of Mar; one of them is gravity, which is only one-third of the gravity on Earth," Munoz told Euronews.
People who want to live in the Martian city should hand it over to the next generation because work won't begin until 2054. The move-in is projected to take place in 2100, which is consistent with Musk's previous assertion to Inverse that nobody will develop a prosperous city in his or her lifetime.
The proposed city will have a population of 250,000 people. The name is taken from the proctor of Humans, a mythological Chinese goddess.
The majority of the construction work will take place inside the cliff, with Macro-buildings excavated inside the soil. Green-Domes will also be built and will either serve as public parks or as a location for growing experimental plants.
The city's primary supply of food would be grain production, which would account for half of its diet. According to the Telegraph, microalgae can be an integral part of people's diets.

People would be able to engage in the same types of recreation as they do on Earth, such as athletics, camping, and the arts. For those who want to survive on Mars, getting from Earth to Mars would be difficult, but not impossible.
People will travel between the planets with a shuttle service that will leave every 26 months and take anywhere from one to three months to complete.
A one-way trip to Mars is expected to cost about $300,000, but this figure is subject to adjustment.
Elon Musk: Mars Base Construction to Begin This Decade with SpaceX
Elon Musk recently tweeted that the construction of Nüwa, a.k.a. Mars Base Alpha, will not begin until the 2020 decade after the corporation has cleared its Starships.
Previously, SpaceX was the only "Mars" candidate. But ABIBOO, a start-up space venture and a well-known architecture workshop, stepped into the game. With Elon Musk at the helm, SpaceX has the muscle and ABIBOO has the brains to unveil its concept and vision for the Mars Foundation.
Both firms, however, were at odds with one another, particularly because the space manufacturer is planning an earlier appearance on Mars this decade. On Sunday, March 21, Elon Musk tweeted that SpaceX aims to be there by this time (2020-2029) instead of 2054 that ABIBOO claimed.
Musk quoted the tweet from SpaceX fan and enthusiast Chris B - NSF quoted the tweet. He clarified that it would not be in 2054 but rather in an earlier phase of SpaceX's plans and vision.
Hopefully will happen this decade
