Panel 1:
SYNTHESIZED VOICE (russian): Air pressure is at zero. The output airlock is open.
GISELLE (french): Lennard, are you ready?
LENNARD (french): On y va! („Let’s go!“)
* Psssshhhhh *
Panel 3:
GISELLE (french): How they could get all that to Mars …
LENNARD (french): There are a few things to consider:
First, the IMMP has been running for quite a few years, and there really have been many manned and especially unmanned transport flights to Mars. Secondly, a lot of things here look very massive, but the materials are mostly very light, thin and pliable or even inflatable. A lot of things were developed especially for Mars.
(russian) Rasvedka station? Two new crew members report for duty.

nice

And the best thing about it is that the station simulated here and the Rasvedka on Mars are largely identical in construction. So I don't have to model everything again later.

WOW! great page

Thank you! Fortunately, Lennard doesn't need air to breathe.

So long as it can fit inside the 9 m diameter of a SpaceX Starship, it can make it to Mars. Right now, they are trying to get to Australia, but Mars is just around the corner.

The American (a joint venture of the Royal Canadian, the (old US and now) New England Union and Cascadian aerospace agencies) rival project uses a further development of this type of rocket (but is not getting off the ground due to the war), while the IMMP equips its spacecraft with technology from Ariane, stolen Saturn V and above all Soyuz blueprints.

And a lot of it is actually inflatable! Just add air and it gets huge!

In fact, a considerable part of the IMMP consists of nothing but hot air.
