Dubai plans miniature city on planet Mars
Miniature city on Mars:

The ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has announced intentions to build a ?miniature city? on Mars within the next 100 years, reports Arabian Business.

Sheikh Mohammed, who also serves as the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, launched the project at the World Government Summit.

Entitled the 2117 Mars project, the endeavor aims to develop scientific capabilities, and may result in the conversion of local universities into research facilities.
The project will focus on parallel research into exploring means of mobility, housing, energy and food as well as speeding up the time it takes to travel to the planet.
“There are no limits to the imagination and aspirations of human beings,” he tweeted.
