What is Habitat Zero?

Habitat Zero is a project to research, develop, refine, and build open-source technologies for a sustainable and high standard of living habitat colony that could exist in extreme environments such as Mars, the moon, or inhospitable corners of the Earth.

Distributed DIY

Through a constellation of existing and new projects, Habitat Zero wants to build itself by building up others, and freely distribute the methods back to the DIY community.

First-class Cybernetic Living

Current designs for space habitats are crammed purely functional designs not meant for long-term living. Habitat Zero aims to build a habitat that doesn't set the bar at only survival, but instead goes beyond the living standards of developed cities of today, by bringing together thoughtful design and advanced technology.

Free Culture Haven

There are currently two models for the development of space technology: national space agencies or private industry. We want to build another alternative born out the open-source and free (libre) culture movement. Based in the free sharing of information and grassroots, decentralized, bottom-up innovation, we can build a more democratic vision of space colonization.
