NASA Seeking BIG Ideas for Solar Power on Mars

Hunter's comment
NASA’s Game Changing Development Program (GCD) and the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) are seeking novel concepts that emphasize mechanical design, low mass and high efficiency that will sustain power generation on the Mars surface for many years.
(BIG) Idea Challenge is an initiative that supports NASA’s Game Changing Development Program (GCD) efforts to rapidly mature innovative/high impact capabilities and technologies for infusion in a broad array of future NASA missions. In 2019, this GCD-sponsored competition seeks innovative ideas from the academic community for the design and operation of a Mars Greenhouse to supply reliable and effective food production systems on Mars. This will reduce the logistics needed to transport food from Earth and also to promote crew health on long surface missions.

Okay, no problem..thanks for letting me know..
A most interesting read. I wonder why they chose Mars and not the Moon as the moon is closer. Thanks @thethreehugs
Moved to the Hive platform.
POSSIBLY..
Yes, I was wondering the same thing. Of course rumor has it they already have a space program on the moon.
Moved to the Hive platform.
I myself prefer to stay on earth..I hate flying.
