While this is not Mars Society related, the participants in the Mars Homestead Project of the Mars Foundation (not a membership organization) are mostly Mars Society members.  If designing logos are not your thing, but know someone who is artistic and might want to take a crack at this contest, please pass the information along.

 

Thanks,

The Mars Foundation is a non-profit 501c(3) organization with the ultimate goal of  building on Mars a growing, permanent settlement beyond the Earth, thus allowing civilization to spread beyond the limits of our small planet. 

 

The first project of the Mars Foundation, The Mars Homestead Project seeks to develop a unified plan for building the first settlement on Mars by exploiting local materials.  The initial design will soon be published. 

 

The next step for the Mars Foundation is to create a research and outreach center where the plan can take form on Earth and the designs, tools, technologies, and materials for making it happen on Mars can be tried; and where the public can learn firsthand what will be necessary to start up civilization on another world.

 

Thank you,
