WORLDBUILDING ASSIGNMENT - THEME PARK ("MARS ADVENTURE")

MARS ADVENTURE is advertised to the outside world as an immersive and educational environment that can not only teach visitors about our solar system but let them experience what it would be like to live in a futuristic, spacefaring alternate-earth. After receiving some generous donations that proved to be very influential in the project’s development, namely by certain companies headed by certain CEOs that are known for vociferous advocacy of space colonization, the masterminds behind Mars Adventure allowed their beneficiaries significant creative input on the facilities, layout, and attractions. Through their collaboration, Mars Adventure took on a life of its own, transforming from an innocuous and educational foray into the utopian future into a multimillion-dollar investment loaded with parenthetical, borderline propagandistic promotion of space colonization. The park is built to resemble a sprawling space metropolis; part utilitarian space station and part human civilization.
