Through this hatch at the Polish Mars analogue simulation base, astronauts leave a Mars base and enter the vacuum of Space to perform extravehicular activities.

Visitor at the Shanghai Astronomy Museum, the world's largest planetarium. In the last decade China is investing into many space related projects and facilities to popularize space exploration and inspire the younger generations.

Dr. Susan Ip-Jewell is the founder of the Mars Academy in Los Angeles. She specializes in space medicine, focusing on the usage of VR goggles which would help doctors performing complex medical procedures with the help of augmented reality.

A robot Vita displayed at in the public institute Center of Space Technologies -Noordung. Vitanje are the birth place of Slovenian pioneer of space science and a visionary of the yet-unrealized idea of an International Geostationary Space Station, Herman Potočnik. Humanised robors such as Vita will play an important roll in the space exploration helping humans with dangerous EVA tasks.

The vacuum chamber at the AEL facility in Tokyo, Japan. AEL is the company that has produced the first satellite that can make an artificial shooting stars.  

The food growing facility is the Mars simulation base. C-Space is located in the Gobi Desert, some 40 km from Jinchang in China's northwest Gansu province. Finding the way to grow fresh food in space would vastly reduce the rocket payload and open the opportunities for longer space flight duration or colonizing Mars.

Black chicken had a big nutritional value hence it would be a very suitable meat for Mars colonisers.

College students simulating an accident emergency drill in Los Angeles during the Space medicine workshop with Dr. Susan Ip-Jewell. Some of the workshops by dr. Susan Ip-Jewell are held in the Himalayas to perform the tasks in the high altitude conditions.

Chinese Long March 5B rocked disappearing into clouds after a successful launch. Rocket was carrying the first part of the Chinese space station. China is only the 3rd country that has established a permanent space station after the Russian Mir and International Space station. The space station called Tiangong can host a crew of 3 astronauts.

A replica of a lander near the Mars simulation base. C-Space as called in located in the Gobi Desert, some 40 km from Jinchang in China's northwest Gansu province.

Westley Brooks from Global Effects inc posing in a space suit created by their company for a TV shoot. Global Effects have created space suits that are even used by Nasa for their PR photoshoots of the astronauts and for a movie such as Ad Astra with Brad Pitt.

Mars flag made by a Slovenian designer Miha Artnak planted in the cave system simulating the Mars lava tubes. The underground tunnels left behind the running lava could be one of the most suitable living habitats on Mars since they would provide a good protection against the radiation and the sand storms.
