Yes, we've yet to successfully send humans to Mars, but we already need to start thinking how we can stay there for long stretches of time -- or even for good. A how-to book on first-habbing Mars.
The only system of its kind on a university campus,UND’s Inflatable Lunar/Mars Habitat is home to research projects conducted and funded in collaboration with NASA. During missions, crew members study everything from growing plants in Martian soil to the varied effects of confinement. Bigelow’s next-generation inflatable space habitat is shooting for the Moon Welcome to your new home, the B330 By Loren Grush @lorengrush Sep 13, 2019, 12:33pm EDT Photo by Dima Williams/UND Today. And I don't really think this is really an appropriate r/SpacexLounge thread. One thing that might be relevant here is to consider the BFS layout and how this might need adapting to unloading (inflatable) habitat modules on Mars. IMHO.

Results show that GCR doses in the vicinity of 700 cGy (700 rad) can be reached in these layers for an inflatable over a 50-year duty cycle. space and Mars habitat doses for inflatable habitats. Bigelow originally licensed inflatable habitat technology from NASA after Congress cancelled their expandable habitat project known as TransHab … Density of regolith is about 1500 kg/m3, this corresponds to 525 kg of soil pressure per m2 at Mars gravity. The habitat will be delivered in two stages prior to the arrival of the astronauts.
