NASA has taken another step to make interplanetary living a reality, naming the top three finalists for its ongoingThe challenge, which began in 2015, has seen teams competing to design shelters suitable for the Moon, Mars and -- optimistically -- beyond.For the fourth level of the third phase of the competition, 11 teams were asked to create full-scale renderings of their designs using modeling software, and short videos explaining their choices.
Previous stages focused on architectural renderings and technologies required to build each design's components.Courtesy Mars Incubator New York-based Team SEArch+/Apis Cor won first place with their unique twisted structure, which comes dotted with small holes to let in natural light. Runner-up Team Zoperhous suggested that their modular structures could be printed by an autonomous rover; and Mars Incubator, a group of engineers and artists, showed a modular design consisting of four distinct spaces, including one for growing plants.In the next round, set for early May, the finalists will 3D-print scale models of their designs as they compete for $800,000 in prize money.
