This is the subreddit of the Living Universe Foundation. Our dream is to see humanity take life to the stars.
In NewMars.com (forum) there is a post which is following Mars around the Sun. New Years on Mars occurred on Earth day 2019/03/24. Mars has passed longitude 180 degrees in its stately progression. The calendar is now on Sol 383 or later.

If you are interested, the concept is for a participant to take responsibility for development of a virtual plot on Mars, one kilometer square on the surface, in a community called Sagan City (2018).
Participants will interact with each other to specialize in one or more of the knowledge areas which will be needed to sustain civilized life on Mars.

In addition, tahanson43206 is participating in a membership outreach campaign at NewMars forum. In an effort to build up a virtual business community focused upon Mars, messages are being send to newly registered members, inviting them to participate in the Hacienda topic.
A new branch of the My Hacienda topic is open, in addition to the previously reported Devon Island branch. This new branch considers an implementation of Sagan City (2018) on an island in Norway. This island is inhabited, and international arctic research stations are already encouraged by the government.
In the past week, a variety of topics have been under discussion as usual.
Discussion of a design for an Interplanetary Transport for the Earth/Mars circuit continues.
A graphic image of a science fiction movie design for a ship that is remarkably similar to the Circle Y ship under discussion. The image shows a set of girders that allow for transfer of force from the propulsion unit in the central shaft to the rotating ring.
A recent post suggested a way to handle solid and liquid toilet waste by saving it in containers designed for the purpose, and delivering it to Mars for use in conditioning soil. This is a recommendation that is likely to be adopted. The practice has been followed on Earth for thousands of years.
A two year voyage in a confined space such as the one proposed for this vessel will require careful planning for psychological health.
It was recently proposed that the ship design be implemented first as a test article in orbit around Earth, so that a "live" test could be carried out to see if 1060 people could handle life in a ship of the specified size for two years.

Meanwhile, the Mars Society 2020 Convention was completed and the individual session videos are being edited and delivered to YouTube. 42 videos are available for viewing as of Monday, 2020/10/26. An initiative is under consideration to review all 150 sessions at the rate of one every two days. There is a search underway for an audience for this proposal.
In addition, discussion is underway for alternatives for delivery of people and supplies to Mars for the proposed 1,000,000 person settlement.
One interesting proposal is to add a special purpose vehicle to the SpaceX fleet ... this would be a pusher located in low Earth orbit, designed to give a fully loaded (and fueled) Starship the momentum it needs to take the Hohmann transfer path to Mars. The advantage of this plan is that it would deliver the Starship to Mars with sufficient fuel to "dock" with Phobos and then land on Mars, entirely without having to take the risk of slowing down in the very thin atmosphere.
