We exist in a pivotal moment in history as we have a chance to expand our existence to another planet.
However—despite some scientific and political incentives—there's no self-feeding economy between Earth and its neighbors, yet.
As the composition of Mars’s crust is similar enough to Earth’s, the oft-popularized idea of mining metals, for example, does not make much sense.
​
And some contemporary suggestions such as tourism or technology/IP transfer would take a long time to develop into a balanced trade relationship.
Therefore, the biggest problem with creating a strong interplanetary connection with Mars and Earth seems to be that there are no obvious economic incentives to conduct trade.
​
To remedy that, we founded The Mars–Earth Foundation, a non-profit organization that aims to create a stronger economic and cultural connection between the two planets.
One of our first initiatives is The Mars–Earth Art Competition which sends one part of the interplanetary art piece to Mars—creating a unique cultural link between the two planets.
​
The proceeds from auctioning the first part will also cover the transportation expenses of sending the second part to Mars.
…the art competition is also a precursor to our next envisioned initiative which is the Mars Grand Prix (more details TBA).
