New Mars Colony Announced by NASA to be twinned with Cork City – Cork Safety Alerts

Cork City selected from shortlist of hundreds across the world, to be twinned with new Mars Colony.

Organisations have proposed plans for a human mission to Mars, the first step towards any colonization effort, but no person has set foot on the planet. However, landers and rovers have successfully explored the planetary surface and delivered information about conditions on the ground.

Reasons for colonizing Mars include pure curiosity, the potential for humans to provide more in-depth observational research than unmanned rovers, economic interest in its resources, and the possibility that the settlement of other planets could decrease the likelihood of human extinction. Difficulties and hazards include radiation exposure during a trip to Mars and on its surface, toxic soil, low gravity, the isolation that accompanies Mars distance from Earth, a lack of water, and cold temperatures.

NASA has announced today that a new colony is being setup on the Red Planet and Cork City has been selected to be twinned with Carina Cassiopeia. The name of the colony Carina Cassiopeia comes from the two constellations; Carina and Cassiopeia.

Local authorities in Cork have discussed the possibility of a Twinsie Shuttle between Cork and Carina Cassiopeia, and tenders have now been sought and construction to commence with a shuttle pod proposed for Adrigole in West Cork.

Estimated completion date of the project is 1st April 2125. Happy April Fools Day Folks!
