Zinegata said: b) All tourists are gamblers, and want luxury. So having a relatively prosperous colony that can support hotels and casinos is necessary to keep their satisfaction decent. For reference, you can't build hotels at the start - you need to the Smart home tech. Likewise the Low G entertainment building requires the medium dome tech. Click to expand...

Surviving Mars Tourism Update: New Features, Changes, and More

• Share on Pocket

Surviving Mars developer, Haemimont Games, recently released a new update that added new features and made some changes to the game. The RC Safari is the latest addition introduced by the free tourism update. This feature lets players create sightseeing tours for tourists visiting your colony. You can order it from Earth or build it yourself via a research type. To provide better services, new buildings like Hotel and Low-G Amusement Park are now available, thanks to the update, all of which can help increase their satisfaction level.

A small adjustment has been applied to the Tourist Trap challenge, along with 20 tourist applications spawned at the start of the challenge.

Surviving Mars Tourism Update

Changes to Tourists

• Tourists have a new Satisfaction stat, which tracks how much each tourist is enjoying their holiday.
• Tourists no longer pay 10M funding upon arrival. Instead, they pay funds when departing from Mars based on how much they liked their holiday, shown in the Satisfaction stat, rated between 1 and 5 stars.
• Tourists now board any nearby rocket when they are looking to go home (instead of only boarding rockets that just landed).

New Feature: RC Safari

• The new RC Safari allows you to create sightseeing tours around your colony for tourists to enjoy.
• Set waypoints near domes, wonders, vistas, rock formations, and many other sights to increase the satisfaction bonus tourists get from the safari.
• Order the new RC Safari from earth, or complete the Rover Printing research to build these yourself.

New Tourist Buildings

• Hotel: Provide tourists a luxurious place to stay on Mars; spending the night increases their Satisfaction. Hotels can be built after completing the Smart Homes research.
• Low-G Amusement Park: Provide tourists with the best ways to experience the low gravity environment. Visiting tourists get an extra bonus to their Satisfaction.

Other changes

• Adjusted the deadlines for the Tourist Trap challenge, which now also gives 20 tourist applicants at the start.

In-Dome Building Pack CCP

• Smart Apartments: Apartments that provide the same luxuries as smart homes.
• Senior Residence: A lovely place for your senior residents to retire.
• Large Nursery: A larger version of the nursery, able to house more children.
• Medical Post: For when you need a smaller infirmary in the area.
• Hospital: A larger, more relaxing version of the infirmary. It also comes with the exclusive Remote Medic upgrade, which reduces the number of colonists required per shift.
• Security Post: A more compact version of the Security Station.
• TV Studio Workshop: A new workshop building that also generates funding.
• School Spire: Build the school as a spire building. It comes with the exclusive Superior Education upgrade, which has a small change to give the Genius trait.
• 2 new colony logos: Colonization Effort, Red Target

As newbie safari travellers, we were blown away by our experience of the Conservatory - the animals in abundance; the landscapes; the people; the smells and sounds.

It was an amazing experience to actually see the river crossings, that we had seen so many times on TV during the wildebeest migration.

We saw a leopard on a tree and we were lucky enough to watch four lionesses and three cubs eating a fresh hunt. In the evening safari we were able to explore a massive variety of hippopotamus and a crocodile.

Conservancies in Kenya are the way to go; protecting the extraordinary wildlife whilst giving the local community an income, together with education on the interaction between the two.

Wonderful area for wildlife viewing. Having been there twice both times were awesome experiences! Will return again.

The highlight of our trip to Mara was seeing the migration at the Mara river. A once in a lifetime experience to see the Wildebeest migrating. An amazing scene of nature it was.

Masai Mara video

The best way of understanding what the Masai Mara and its conservancies are about is by seeing some thrilling footage from the area. Watch this video to experience Kenya's Masai Mara, its splendour and to meet some of our celebrity wildlife species.

Be careful, after watching this video you can be sure that you want to travel to Kenya. Today.

We saw 8 lions in one drive, and a hippo pod being circled by a dozen crocodiles that launched into the water, trying to get the baby hippos in the center of the pod. Wow!

I was fortunate that when I was recently in the Mara North Conservancy there were so few tourists. I saw plenty of wildlife. The sightings of big cats were especially good.

The Mara Triangle is the most beautiful, lush area of the Masai Mara. Loads of elephants and all types of wildlife without all the land cruiser traffic found in other areas of the Mara.

Mission success: hera crew successfully completes 45-day simulated journey to mars .

Sumer Loggins

Four dedicated explorers—Jason Lee, Stephanie Navarro, Shareef Al Romaithi, and Piyumi Wijesekara—just returned from a 45-day simulated journey to Mars, testing the boundaries of human endurance and teamwork within NASA’s HERA (Human Exploration Research Analog) habitat at Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Their groundbreaking work on HERA’s Campaign 7 Mission 2 contributes to NASA’s efforts to study how future astronauts may react to isolation and confinement during deep-space journeys. 

Throughout their mission, the crew conducted operational tasks and participated in 18 human health studies. These studies focused on behavioral health, team dynamics, and human-system interfaces, with seven being collaborative efforts with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the European Space Agency. These experiments assessed the crew’s physiological, behavioral, and psychological responses in conditions designed to be similar to a mission to Mars. 

As their mission concluded, the HERA crew watched real footage from the Artemis I mission to simulate their landing.

HERA operations lead Ted Babic rang the bell outside the habitat nine times to celebrate the crew’s egress—seven for the campaign and two for the mission—saying, “All in a safe passage to Mars and a safe return to Earth. May this vessel be a safe home to future HERA crews.” Babic then presented the crew with their mission patch, which they placed on the door of the HERA habitat. 

The crew expressed their gratitude to everyone involved in the mission, including NASA and MBRSC, the HERA mission control center, NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP) team, Analog Mission Control, medical teams, and their family and friends.

Wijesekara shared, “This was one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. I’d like to thank my crewmates for making this experience memorable and enjoyable.” 

Connecting With Students   

On June 21, three days before crew egress, about 200 people gathered at Space Center Houston’s theater for a live Q&A session where students had the opportunity to share their questions with crew members Al Romaithi and Wijesekara. They discussed team dynamics, adapting to unexpected circumstances, and coping with isolation.  

When asked about what prompted her to apply for the mission, Wijesekara emphasized the importance of helping NASA collect data that could help future long-duration space flights, saying, “This will be very useful when we get to the Moon with Artemis missions and even beyond that when we go to Mars.” 

Inside HERA, mealtimes were bonding moments where the crew shared stories, laughed, and supported each other. When a student asked about building stronger teams, Wijesekara advised, “Spend time with your crewmates, get to know them deeply, and be a good listener.” 

Al Romaithi, who hails from the UAE, shared that his academic background in aerospace engineering and aviation helped him stand out in the application process. In addition, this HERA campaign is focused on cultural diversity, which opened the opportunity for him to apply through a partnership between HERA and MBRSC. 

Discussing the mental effects of isolation, Al Romaithi highlighted the comfort provided by personal items, books, and board games. Wijesekara noted that the white noise of instruments running became their constant companion that her senses adjusted to over time. 

Wijesekara told the audience her favorite experience was performing spacewalks and “flying drones on Mars,” via virtual reality, which allowed them to observe Martian landscapes and even lava caves. Through the habitat’s window screens, they could see simulated views of space and Martian landscapes.  

The crew addressed the challenges they faced inside the analog environment, such as communication delays, which taught them teamwork, patience, and precise planning. They utilized a 3D printer aboard HERA to address equipment issues. A curious student asked what happens to the crew and the mission in case of an outside emergency, like a hurricane. Both crew members explained that HERA provided them with step-by-step emergency instructions. 

Medical evaluations and nutrition-specific meal plans were crucial for the mission, Al Romaithi and Wijesekara noted, with daily monitoring of the crew’s physical and mental health. The crew also grew lettuce hydroponically and had four pet triops shrimp named Buzz, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. 

When a student asked what food he missed most, Al Romaithi replied, “Home-cooked meals.”  

Wijesekara shared the first thing she plans to do post-mission is see her family and visit a list of restaurants with her crewmates. She also looks forward to running on the beach. 

Reflecting on their experience, Al Romaithi noted, “We’ve become more disciplined and efficient in our daily activities.”  

What was the most valuable lesson learned? “The importance of teamwork and communication,” he said.  

Both crewmembers also gave students in the audience some advice. “Never hesitate or be shy to ask for help,” Al Romaithi said. “Always push for your biggest dreams, don’t let self-doubt slow you down, and believe in yourself.” 

“And keep studying!” added Wijesekara.

Strange cluster of 'spiders' spotted in 'Inca City' on Mars (photo)

April showers bring May flowers on Earth — but on Mars, spring brings surface "spiders.

Seasonal, spider-like features have been spotted sprouting through cracks in Mars' surface. 

The European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter captured new images of small, dark features that resemble spiders scuttling across the Martian region known as Inca City near the Red Planet 's south pole. 

This phenomenon appears when spring sunlight warms layers of carbon dioxide deposited during the dark Martian winter. In turn, carbon dioxide ice in the bottom layer turns into gas, which builds up and eventually breaks through overlying ice up to 3.3 feet (1 meter) thick, according to a statement from ESA. 

Related: Thousands of strange white rocks found on Mars. Will they ever be brought to Earth?

The released gas carries dark dust from the underlying ground upward, ultimately forcing the dust to explode out of the top ice layers like water from a geyser before settling on the surface. This creates the cracked, spidery formations measuring 0.03 to 0.6 miles (45 meters to 1 kilometer) across.

Mars' Inca City, formally known as Angustus Labyrinthus, exhibits a linear, almost geometric network of ridges like the Inca ruins on Earth. It is part of a circular feature approximately 53 miles (86 km) wide, suggesting it may be an impact crater with ridges formed by lava rising through the fractured Martian crust and eroding over time.

"We're still not sure exactly how Inca City formed," ESA officials said in the statement. "It could be that sand dunes have turned to stone over time. Perhaps material such as magma or sand is seeping through fractured sheets of martian rock. Or, the ridges could be 'eskers,' winding structures related to glaciers."

The most recent images of Inca City were taken by Mars Express ' High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Feb. 27, 2024, during the autumn season on Mars. The Cassis (Color and Stereo Surface Imaging System) instrument aboard ESA's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter previously documented the same spider-like features near Mars’ south pole on Oct. 4, 2020. The next Martian spring equinox will be on November 12, 2024.

Leaked images have already revealed that Nike Air Safari-inspired colorways are coming to a range of basketball and running sneakers later in July to coincide with the Paris Olympics. Now, it’s been confirmed that the actual source material will make its return in its OG colorway.

The Nike Air Safari “Black/Monarch” brings back the shoe’s original colorway from 1987. Tinker Hatfield designed the model and had the idea of bringing an animal print to a sneaker after seeing an ostrich skin couch in New York City. “I only remember one person thinking this was a good idea,” Hatfield said in a Nike interview for the 30th anniversary of the Air Safari. ‘Fashion’ was still a very dirty word, it was something we didn’t use around here.”

The Air Safari’s revival maintains its seminal color scheme featuring black and brown leather along with an ostrich skin-inspired pattern on the mudguard, heel and collar. Nike last released the shoe in its “Black/Monarch” colorway in 2018, and no version of the Air Safari has been made available since 2019.

Atmos helped bring the Air Safari back into the spotlight in 2003 through the very first collaboration on the Air Max 1 for its 15th anniversary. The Japanese boutique took inspiration from the Air Safari’s OG colorway for its Air Max 1. Many sneakerheads consider it the best Air Max 1 of all-time, and it’s gone on to inspire a number of other releases , including several additional Atmos x Nike collaborations .

Following the return of the Air Safari, similar colorways will release July 24 for the AlphaFly 3 and Nike’s series of G.T. basketball sneakers.

The Nike Air Safari “Black/Monarch” will release July 19 through the Snkrs app and select third-party retailers. Pricing is set at $140.

PSA: You can try Safari 18 beta on your Mac without installing macOS Sequoia

Safari is one of the many Apple apps bundled with iOS and macOS. With iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia, Apple has introduced Safari 18 with new features and improvements. However, when it comes to the Mac, you don’t need to update your Mac to macOS 15 in order to try out the new Safari 18 beta.

Safari 18 beta

The new version of Safari comes with Highlights, a new way to quickly find relevant information (such as an address or phone number) on a webpage. It also introduces a redesigned Reader that summarizes webpage content using AI. There are a lot of improvements in the backend too.

While features like Highlights will likely remain exclusive to iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia, the beta version of Safari 18 for previous versions of macOS brings many of the backend improvements.

This includes better support for accessibility features, new options for using Apple Pay on the web, support for the WebAuthn PRF extension, compatibility with new CSS and JavaScript features, and much more.

Anyone with a Mac running macOS Sonoma or macOS Ventura can download Safari 18 beta from the Apple Beta Software website . It’s worth noting that installing Safari beta on your Mac replaces the main Safari rather than keeping both versions, so don’t do this if you rely on Safari for your work.

For now, iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia are still available as beta previews for developers. A public beta will be released this month, while the official launch is scheduled for this fall. You can find the Safari 18 beta release notes here .
