Mars Crew · Proposal
As we approach human missions to Mars, we need human emotional engineering.
Fix the mistake. Learn together. Rebuild trust.
“I did X. It affected you in Y way.”
Repair the damage. Ask for help.
10 minutes, before the next sleep.
“Closed” or “Not yet, let’s revisit.” No forced forgiveness.
What will we change to prevent a repeat?
Weekly crew check-in. Share learning, not gossip.
Try a similar task again when safe, with support.
Quick acknowledgement.
Separate review.
First principles · Closed cabin, no off-ramp
Pairing is a comms protocol. Design it or it designs you.
Planetary Council
12 crews × 12 humans = 144 people. Small enough to cooperate, large enough to endure.
No single human, crew or relationship is critical. Redundancy all the way down.
