This month, Bremen's Haus der Wissenschaft (House of Science) celebrates its 20th anniversary. The House has taken this opportunity not only to look back, but also to look ahead and showcase the diversity and vitality of Bremen's research landscape.

Looking ahead, the cluster of excellence The Martian Mindset is participating with a model of Mars: The exhibit shows what a human-inhabited base on the surface of Mars could look like in the future. The cylindrical modules form the habitat. This is where scientific experiments are carried out, food is grown, and people live. The square building next to it is a production hall. It will be used to manufacture materials and components that cannot be brought from Earth due to the great distance, using the extremely scarce resources available on Mars.
