How We Will Build Cities on Mars (Without Concrete)

Standing on the Valais Marineris plateau, the temperature is -90°C and the ground beneath your feet is toxic. You need a shelter, but bringing concrete from Earth costs $54,000 per kilogram. So, how do you survive? In this episode of Narrative Labs, we uncover the radical shift in space exploration strategy: moving from a "Take" strategy (hauling heavy materials) to a "Make" strategy (using biology). We dive into the science of ISRU (In-Situ Resource Utilization) and Biocementation. You'll meet the microscopic architects of the future—Sporosarcina pasteurii and Cyanobacteria—bugs that can eat toxic Martian dust and astronaut waste to excrete solid rock, breathable oxygen, and even medicine. We explore the ESA's MELISSA project, the chemistry of turning urea (yes, pee) into building blocks, and how synthetic biology is programming self-healing walls that fix themselves like skin. This isn't just about surviving on Mars; it's about learning how to build a truly circular economy right here on Earth.
