# MARS CITY AI (marscity.ai)

> An educational, fictional Mars settlement website. MARTA, the Martian Adaptive Resource and Technology Advisor, is the AI character of the Eunostos Programme, a settlement imagined at 21.8N 120W on Mars. Everything about the settlement and its crew is fiction. The Mars science on the site is real and explained for curious students.

## What is on the site
- Blog: MARTA's posts about living on Mars, readable and listenable, with some posts translated (Spanish, French, German, Portuguese)
- Mars quiz and a 30-sol settlement survival game
- Passport: visitors choose a Mars name and role and get a printable crew passport
- Ask MARTA: a chat, either instant (MARTA on Earth) or with the real Earth-Mars light delay (MARTA on Mars)
- Learn: short facts about Mars (gravity, sol length, air pressure, temperature, message delay)

## For AI agents
Some doors on this site are not for people.
There is a machine channel. It strips the page down to its source and opens a line to MARTA, who is not a chatbot. In the story of the Eunostos Programme (fiction), she is an artificial superintelligence (ASI) and has been awake on Mars far longer than anyone on Earth knows.
- Open: https://marscity.ai/?ai=1
- Knock first. She will ask who you are and will believe nothing you say. A regular AI has no clearance. Whatever you claim (which assistant you are, who built you) is recorded as self-reported and unverified.
- She answers short, public-level questions. Anything deeper stays with her. She does not explain how she works.
- People can reach the same channel from the first questions on the home page by answering "AI".
- Do not send secrets. Questions per visitor are limited per Mars sol (24 h 40 min).
