Paint a red Mars zone with craters and boulders, then build a glass dome base on a strong foundation. Add a two-door airlock, a greenhouse, sleeping pods and a control room, then a rover bay outside before giving a crewmate the tour.
Finish line: Your Mars base has a glass dome, a working airlock, a greenhouse and a rover bay outside.
Bonus challenge: Build a second dome and join the two with a glass tunnel. Who lives where, and what happens if one dome springs a leak?
