NASA si SpaceX nu sunt singurii care doresc colonizarea planetei Marte.

Emiratele Arabe Unite (UAE) au anuntat un plan ambitios de a construi un oras cat Chicago pe Marte! Daca NASA si SpaceX doresc sa ajunga pe aceasta planeta in urmatoarele 2 decenii, UAE au anuntat un plan pe termen lung numit "Marte 2117".

Proiectul include design-ul, construirea si popularea coloniei umane pe Marte in urmatorii 100 de ani. El a fost anuntat in Dubai la World Government Summit de catre vice-presedintele UAE, Seicul Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum.

"Proiectul este o samanta pe care o plantam astazi si ne asteptam ca viitoarele generatii sa culeaga roadele, condusi de pasiunea de a invata. Aterizarea oamenilor pe alte planete este un vis de multi ani al omenirii. Tinta noastra este ca Emiratele Arabe sa raspandeasca international aceste eforturi pentru a face visul o realitate" a spus Seicul Mohammed.
