About the Project

In this essay, I hope to explore some of the forewarnings provided to us by earlier civilisations, whilst highlighting questions we should be asking when considering future colonies. Although offering no solutions, the aim is to emphasize the complexities behind colonisation and to suggest a ‘bigger-picture’ approach when considering humanity’s next move in establishing a successful colony on our ‘sister planet’, Mars.
