WANTED: Engineers, Architects, Biologists, Systems Thinkers, and Practical Dreamers
Not for another app.
Not for another social network.
Not for another way to deliver advertisements.
For something that may someday matter when everything else doesn't.
The Core Biome Project
Imagine the first permanent human settlement on the Moon.
Now imagine that something goes wrong.
A meteor strike.
A systems failure.
A solar event.
A fire.
A decompression incident.
A cascading series of mistakes.
What is the one structure that absolutely cannot fail?
Not the mine.
Not the factory.
Not the observatory.
Not the landing pad.
The Core.
The place where human life survives long enough to rebuild everything else.
The Question
If humanity establishes a permanent presence beyond Earth, what does the ultimate survival structure look like?
A lunar bunker?
A biosphere?
A seed vault?
A command center?
A hospital?
A knowledge archive?
Perhaps all of them.
The Challenge
Design an integrated Core Biome capable of supporting human survival after catastrophic colony failure.
Requirements:
- Independent life support
- Water recovery and recycling
- Food production capability
- Radiation protection
- Medical capability
- Knowledge preservation
- Emergency manufacturing
- Expandable architecture
- Long-duration habitability
- Failure-tolerant design
Assume rescue may not arrive.
Assume resupply may not come.
Assume the people inside must rebuild civilization one system at a time.
Who We're Looking For
- Aerospace engineers
- Habitat designers
- Systems engineers
- Architects
- Ecologists
- Biologists
- Emergency management professionals
- Military planners
- Industrial designers
- Software developers
- Students
- Retirees
- Anyone who enjoys solving difficult problems
Credentials are welcome.
Thoughtfulness is required.
Why?
Because eventually someone will build humanity's first permanent off-world settlement.
When they do, somebody needs to have already asked:
"What is the last place standing?"
No investors required.
No politics required.
No guarantees required.
Just a willingness to think seriously about a question that may become important sooner than most people expect.
The Core Biome Project
Because the first colony should have a plan for the worst day in its history.
