The document outlines plans for an initial Mars settlement called the Get Your Ass to Mars Project. It discusses three phases of construction over 6 years that will establish the settlement infrastructure and grow the population to 36 people. Phase 1 involves only robotic operations to deploy water and gas extraction equipment. Phase 2 adds 4 people on site to setup mining, refining, and manufacturing facilities. Phase 3 expands the permanent settlement structure and commissions all systems. The selected location is Candor Chasma in Valles Marineris. Resources that will be used include local water, atmosphere, and soil as well as equipment, life support systems, nuclear power, and 250 metric tons of cargo brought from Earth.

- 5. 5 Settlement Construction StagingSettlement Construction Staging PlanPlan Phase1Phase1 • Completely Robotic, No humans on site. • Timeframe: First 2 years. • Objectives: Deploy first nuke, well drilling equipment, and gas plant to establish water well and initial gas reserve. Phase 2Phase 2 • 4 People on Site • Timeframe: Second 2 years. • Objectives: Deploy and setup mining / refining / manufacturing equipment. • MRM production runs. Produce material needed for settlement construction. Phase 3Phase 3 • 8 People on Site • Timeframe: Third 2 years. • Objectives: Continued MRM as needed. Settlement shell construction. No settlement electrical loads yet. Construct shell around agriculture, manufacturing & nuke BOPs. Phase 4Phase 4 • 12 People on Site • Timeframe: Fourth 2 years. • Objectives: Finalized settlement construction. Commissioning. All settlement loads coming online.
