Living underground is the only way short and long term that we’ll be able to live on mars. The cosmic radiation is just fucking brutal and we’ll have enough problems with bone density from gravity without also having radiation to worry about.

Whether it’s done via tunneling or lava tubes, a geofront type situation is my ideal. A large underground volume that is pressurised and completely removed from the conditions of the surface. UV light is provided by thousands of micro led panels that line the walls and ceiling of the volume, making an artificial sky. The underground soil could be processed and purified such that you could plant trees, vegetation and release insects to cultivate the environment and build a food chain. People could live in real buildings, not ‘habitats’. You could have a slice of earth right there on mars. Some say this would be denying the reality of living there but I couldn’t care less. Mars is a dead irradiated wasteland. If we’re going to live there, we’ll want it to be as pleasant as possible.
