We will found the first Martian colony. Support from Earth is 6 months away, so if we screw up we are all likely dead before they get there.

Things needed for a Mars colony:
1) Prefab habitat.
2) inflatable domes and atmospheric equipment for them.
3) manufacturing and mining equipment
4) Landers
5) mothership (storage and manufacturing area at first)
6) chemical processing equipment (to make hydroponics chemicals, air, and fuel)
7) robots (for heavy lifting, dangerous situations, etc.)
8) chemical extractors (remove one set chemical from whatever is pumped through it per filter.  We have at least four of them, two to remove hydroponic chemicals from compost (waste water and regolith), and two for nutrients from Chlorella Algae)

Crew needed:
1) Doctors (physical and psychological)
2) Maintenance/engineering (several)
3) Pilots
4) Biologists/agriculture specialists
5) computer/communications specialist (required on maintenance team, as we will rely on computers and communications for everything)
6) manufacturing specialist (also on maintenance team, as we will need to make everything)
7) would like a chemist (tweaking things to mars specifically, and making new things form local resources)

Crew members should have a variety of skills, so things don't get too bad if we lose someone.  If you leave, you'll be killed off.  If we need to bring in more people, we'll say NASA sent a second ship.
