Day 1:
This is the first day of the first-ever Mars colony. As a scientist, I have been assigned the critical task of growing plants and collecting samples of Martian soil to test whether it can support plant life.
Day 2:
I have planted some crops using soil from Earth and am currently analyzing the minerals and nutrients in Mars’ soil. It has a very high iron content, which could be harmful to the plants, but the only way to know for sure is through experimentation.
Day 4:
Yesterday, I planted the crops in Martian soil, and so far, they seem unaffected by the iron. This suggests that it might be possible to grow plants here. On another note, I hate having to wear a spacesuit every time I step outside—it takes forever to put on.
Day 10:
The plants are growing exceptionally well. Soon, the second batch of colonists will arrive, and once the fifth group lands, we should have enough resources to sustain a permanent human settlement on Mars.
Day 40:
After one month and ten days, the final group of settlers has arrived. At last, we have completed the first-ever permanent, self-sustaining Mars colony. This is a historic moment—humanity has officially made Mars our second home.
