B.HOME - Biofilm Harnessing for Offworld Mankind Establishment
|
Since the dawn of time, humanity's insatiable curiosity has reached out to the cosmos. With the advent of modern aerospace technology, our ability to explore the universe has expanded, igniting dreams of future space migration. Terrestrial planets, such as Mars, stand as potential destinations for this migration. However, before settlement, we need to reshape "the second home" to make it habitable. The Martian surface is predominantly covered in barren rocks. A sustainable ecosystem, then, must begin with the transformation of Martian soil. Inspired by Earth's ecological architects, lichens, our project Biofilm Harnessing for Offworld Mankind Establishment (B.HOME), aspires to transmute Martian rocks into fertile soil. Through modular design, we constructed a biofilm with extreme tolerance, autotrophic survival, physical structure, and rock weathering function, marking a bold stride toward a viable homeland on terrestrial planets.
