"Beneath the Surface: The Potential for Subterranean Martian Cities"

The TV show For All Mankind envisions a future where an international alliance supports a large Martian colony called "Happy Valley," featuring interconnected modules with most residents living below ground. As NASA plans for lunar and Martian exploration, the idea of underground cities on Mars gains traction due to the planet's hostile surface conditions, including radiation and extreme temperatures. This concept, depicted in the show, aligns with current scientific thinking and may influence future real-world Martian settlement.
