Far away from Earth and their families, the astronauts who will go to Mars will be exposed to a hostile environment for a long time. The Human Nature project is inspired by natural shapes from the earth in order to forget about the cold and technological aspects of space habitats. Large trees as support for solar panels to provide energy for the base, but also shade for the nestable housing units looking like giant mushrooms. The large glass domes of housing units cover vast greenhouses in which grow out a wide variety of plants. All of which should soften the lives of astronauts on Mars.
