\nYeah, it\u2019s pretty much like The Martian

\nWith temperatures far nippier than Antarctica, Mars is a truly forbidding place for real estate. Ironically, ice will apparently be the key to our survival and eventual colonisation of the Red Planet.
\nA group of scientists at the NASA Langley Engineering Design Studio in Hampton, Virginia has published designs of the Mars Ice Home, an inflatable type of dwelling that would theoretically make use of Mars\u2019 recently discovered subterranean ice.
\nLike igloos on earth, the Mars Ice Home belies its \u00a0fa\u00e7ade. Temperatures inside the out-of-this-world shelter will be kept as warm as 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius).

\nUnlike current models of Martian homes, which makes use of the planet\u2019s regolith or soil, the Martian ice house holds pressure very well, at 14.7 lbs. per square inch.
\nThe structure would also defend future Mars colonists against daily bombardments of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), a potentially fatal form of space radiation.
\nPlans for the Mars Ice Home gained traction after the discovery last month by University of Texas scientists of ice buried beneath 3 to 33 feet of the Martian surface. The buried ice covers a region as large as New Mexico and holds as much water as Lake Superior, said.
\nThe Mars Ice Home contains quarters for sleeping, recreation, and food preparation. It will also have workspaces and a greenhouse. Each ice home is suitable for up to four occupants.
