National Geographic unveils the first ever Mars show home at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, UK on November 10, 2016 to coincide with the premiere of epic docu-drama Mars which premieres on Sunday at 9pm. The show home depicts a typical dwelling made from recycled spaceships and Martian soil microwaved into bricks to make a sturdy building material. Although the show home is small, in reality the walls would have to be 12ft thick to shield residents from harmful cosmic rays. A double-airlock front door keeps the inside pressurised, with a spacesuit needed to venture outside. (Photo by Joe Pepler/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
