American National Space Administration recently held a competition for the best home design that you can will print on Mars using a special space 3D printer. New York firm took first place in the draw “Clouds Architecture Office”, which developed the design of an alien ice house “Ice House” for future colonists of the Red the planet.
Experts propose to build ice houses in the circumpolar ice-rich regions of Mars. Designers are sure that the walls, consisting of several layers of frozen Martian water, allow earthlings to feel comfortable in harsh conditions Martian atmosphere. According to the intention of the developers, thanks a multilayer shell inside such a high-tech igloo will necessary temperature and pressure are provided. Ice on mars so much that such building materials will not be in short supply, even if earthlings begin to fly to a distant planet in millions.

The authors of the project called “Ice House” were eight engineers from the aforementioned company “Clouds Architecture Office”. Specialists can boast of ten years of experience in the field of designing innovative and unusual homes. Earlier they already participated in several NASA competitions, however, it’s ice houses deserved the close attention of space agency staff. To develop this project, engineers resorted to help chemists, geologists, astrophysicists and other experts.
According to NASA, in the foreseeable future no one has yet intends to print such a needle on Mars. Obviously, first you need to at least just launch the first planet to the Red manned ship. However, everything is possible in the future. Most Americans strongly believe that the United States will be the first to reach the far celestial body. Although American astronaut Terry Wayne Werts, to for example, recently expressed the view that such multi-billion dollar and high-tech projects can only be international, and without participation of Russia, and as a leader of these expeditions, to present them just impossible.
