Rationale
1. The astronauts will be facing the task of determining how to organize one another constitutionally in order to ensure just and rational administrative procedures.
2. During preparation, they will expand their knowledge on different forms of social organization on Earth.
3. How cultures vary in terms of determining issues of social structure.
A. Social Hierarchy
B. Distribution of Power
C. Approaches to Decision-Making
D. Kinship Structure, and Management of Resources
4. Because the settlement will be very small, it is likely that most decisions will be collective and require unanimity.
5. As the community grows it will become necessary to develop more complex systems for managing conflict and maintaining effective ways to make decisions.
6. The Government Team will provide training and a database of knowledge about human social organization to assist in that process as the settlement grows.
Labor: Construction, Maintenance, and Research Construction: involves working on the settlement. The first crew in particular will need to devote a lot of time to the settlement, to make their new home into a comfortable place to live. They will install the corridors between the landers, they will deploy extra solar panels, and they will install equipment, such as greenhouses, inside the habitat. They will spend time on the crops and food preparation. They will also prepare the hardware for the second crew: the second crew hardware will be delivered with the first crew astronauts. As soon as possible, Mars One will try to supply the settlement with methodologies to produce habitable volume from mostly Martian materials, in order to significantly expand the settlement. Our goal is to enable them to construct a space 10 meters wide by 50 meters long. This will be a spacious environment in which to live, where they can also grow trees. Such a large living volume will make Mars a much nicer place to live.
Maintenance: will be
