Description/Abstract

"This is the story of the New Human Branch Project.

The project led to the first self sustaining and self

propagating branch of the human species on Mars

making humans the first multi planetary species and

the ambassadors of life on a new world. In the early

2000s private aerospace companies started to work

where only national governments traditionally did. By

2012 several major events, including the first private

company docking with the international space station,

took place that assured that private companies would

be the future of space exploration. The New Human

Branch project started in 2012, 10 years before the

first humans step foot on Mars. The project took into

account the predictions by SpaceX and the Mars

societies, among others, that crewed missions would

take place around 2020."
