TADEAS:
Elon Musk gave the design firm Commensalist, led by author Louis De Jaeger, the job of designing the best possible food forest design for the challenging conditions on planet Mars. The Commensalist team travelled around the world to find the highest food-producing trees that can survive in extreme heat and cold. Trees that not only produce food, but also filter particulate matter, purify water, create oxygen, and provides shade.
The designs are finished, computer models have shown that project “Mars Food Forest” will be able to support the lives of one million people on the red planet. In the California desert, Elon Musk is now reconverting an old underground military base into a 10-acre test plot that will recreate the exact conditions on Mars. The Commensalist team will grow the three winning foodforest designs to see which one is the best and what problems can be prevented. This trial will take 15 years to complete, and the results will be right on time when the first big domes will be installed on mars in the year 2038
