Who says colonize a planet says send an extremely heavy infrastructure : housing units and work vehicles , ground transportation, equipment for crops, a plant for energy, but also any device to extract water from the soil Mars. Participants can build anything there.

To validate the extraction of subsurface ice concept for drinking, eating , showering , it is essential to implement a prior probation experience.

We know that the ice is in the soil , but it was never retrieved. The exploitation of resources, especially water , is under study. In 2008, the Phoenix lander sent to the planet tried mining for ice but did not succeed because the ice and soil were extremely hard .
