'Moving to Mars'.
We do not intend to be doomsayers, but it is true that we must start thinking about alternatives, bearing in mind that planet earth (as we know it) does not have many years left to live unless we remedy the climate change.
By then we may have moved to some other planet, such as Mars , even if we say that the conditions are not much better than ours: Mars is used to the impact of meteorites , a few high temperatures of about 150º , there is only frozen water and the solar radiation He would hardly allow us to leave the house.
However, since NASA plans a new trip in 2024, many have already set in motion the machinery of creativity. It is the case of London Design Museum , which will open to the public next October 18 the multisensory exhibition 'Moving to Mars'.
Are we moving to Mars?
This galactic adventure aims to open the door to anyone interested in knowing what our hypothetical life would be like on the planet Mars and invites visitors to draw their own conclusions.
The exhibition features immersive environments, about 200 objects , including contributions from NASA, the European Space Agency and of the company SpaceX or robotic constructions by Foster&Partners.
What will you be able to see in this exhibition? Thanks to the work of NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge You will see what your home would be like if you lived on Mars, and very importantly, how and what you would eat. Given the scarce hydraulic and nutrient resources of the land of Mars, one of the most compelling alternatives is the hydroponic farming that you can meet at the exhibition.

It also explores what type of clothing would be most suitable for living on the planet. For example, the brand RÆBURN presents his SS20 ‘New Horizons’ collection , based on light materials for space exploration, solar blankets and parachutes.
For the exhibition have participated the astronomer Royal Martin Rees , the scientist and explorer of Mars, the professor Sanjeev Gupta from Imperial College London, climate activist Venetian Falconer Y Alyssa Carson , the 18-year-old girl who will travel to Mars in 2030.
'Moving to Mars' will remain open until February 20.
