3. Who am I ?
As the first officer to crack the Martian Administrative Service exam, my mission: turn this red wasteland
into a liveable colony. Balancing life support and, surprisingly, making sure Martians get their chai on time!
Stakeholders
Governments
Conduct auctions for governments to bid on annual
leases of small Martian land sections, released in batches
to drive competition and exclusivity

Infrastructure Setup
Expansion of Home base and
onboarding more residents
Focus on self

Food
Bone Density Loss
Circadiam Rhtym
Early setup requires efficient allocation of scarce critical resources to
ensure survival, sustainability, and stop resource depletion
Lower mechanical load on bones in reduced gravity leads to
decreased bone mineral density
Slightly longer than Earth’s (24 hours, 39 minutes), can disrupt the
body’s circadian rhythm, leading to sleeping disorders

Temperature
High Radiation
Physical separation from Earth, Limited living space Solar power generation, thermal management, and equipment
wear are all affected by Mars dust storms. They also reduce visibility
and navigation and pose breathing risks.

Interpersonal conflicts arise due to forced proximity with same
individuals Extreme temperatures can be fatal, fatigue material owing to thermal
expansion. They also raise base energy needed to maintain habitability

Homesickness can come from loneliness, separation from loved
ones

Space radiation can cause cancer, acute radiation illness, cataracts,
cardiovascular disease, and nervous system damage

6. Solution 1:Companionship & Immersive Memory Playback
Humanoids and Robotic Pets for
Emotional Companionship
Upload
Memory
Train AI
Emotional Intelligence: Offering personalised emotional
support trained on memories of loved ones
Memory Playback: Ability to store & simulate past memories
Adaptive Behavior: Learns from user interactions, adjusting
behaviors based on emotional need
Humanoids can live as Mars astronauts on Earth. A normal day's experience might be uploaded to the
cloud and accessible by the Mars astronaut which he can experience at his convenience

Pain point solved
??Small-scale energy and life support systems will be set up to serve the first explorers. Water, Oxygen, and other resources are scarc?
??Each explorer will have different duties hence different amount of resources required based on calorie consumptio?
??Excess resource consumption or un-ethical use of resources becomes a major issue to solve for

How will it work?Credit System
Volunteer for tasks
Daily energy credit allocation
to cover essential activities
The Energy/Food Credit System is designed to promote resource
conservation and ensure equitable distribution while incentivising
settlers to use resources efficiently
eg. waste management
Incentivizing daily exercise to
keep body and mind healthy
Dynamic allotment
of credits as per need
Exercise quota
Allocation of produced resources

Potential Pitfalls & Workarounds

METRIC
Revenue
Memory playback & humanoid companionship
Over dependence on virtual experiences,
creating reduced human engagement
Hoarding of credits
Inequitable Distribution of Credits
Include mandated community events or in-person
gatherings
Credit expiry or reinvestment options
where unused credits can be pooled into
community projects
Credit cap based on needs, ensuring
everyone has access to basic resources
Maintain mental balance by consulting with humans
regularly; give AI therapist’s input to help it learn
Limit VR memory playback to controlled periods
Humanoids may not grasp emotions well
Constant memory playback might distort perceptions
of reality, leading settlers to
dwell in nostalgia
