Deep Adaptation community
Many business experts, advisors, friends advise “but who will live on the island, community first”.
The community already exists.
It is called Deep Adaptation
Deep Adaptation movement is the main motivation, everything else is secondary.
It is true that we tried to reverse engineer the business model.
Then we realized that we don’t want to be in a hospitality business — a massive decline.
We are in the climate change preparedness business — on the rise.
Deep Adaptation is the main driving force
It was true in 2015 when Mars had a chance to listen to an eye-opening talk by Daniel Pinchbeck:
It was true in 2017 that prompted Mars co-created the astralship.org
It was true in 2018 when Mars went to COP24 and realized “game over”.
It was true in 2019 when genesis.re/book was published.

Are there still any chances?
XR gave some hope.
COVID gave loads of hope — change is possible!
Chances are 50/50 either we survive or not survive:

Doing what I can with what I have, it is possible to rewrite economic equations but there is a long way to go. Parallel to that focusing on the BaseX, one of the best chances for our own survival:
Raising 💰 💰 💰
We are in the process of raising funds and if you are reading this and know some business angels, investors, people with abundant money — introductions welcome.
Or maybe, if you are interested yourself, then start with applying for E‑Residency, joining one of the community calls or booking 1:1 call: calendly.com/marsxr/basex️️ ☎️ ☎️ ☎️
There are loads of details, loads of information available on the website:
We are in the period of rapid development and a lot of details are continuously updated — your comments, feedback, contributions are greatly welcome — it is a collaborative effort!
Deep Adaptation aspects
The sea levels are rising at 4mm per year and will have a couple of decades to adapt.
Landfill, plastic bottle floating island and stacking shipping containers can be also used.
Food independence
- Freshwater well
- Fisheries
- Seaweed farm
- Conventional farming
Energy independence
- Wood
- Biomass

Sense of community
Financial sustainability
Selling individual plots will generate enough cash flow to develop shared infrastructure and allow for contingencies. If we play the financial game right — maybe we can accumulate capital to seed another piece of land?
With the off-the-grid independent food and independent energy, there is no need to generate loads of money. We believe that pretty much everyone can generate some online income these days if needed.
BUSINESS MODEL = SELLING INDIVIDUAL PLOTS
Definitely not an investment advice
Not a predictable 2 bedroom flat in London:
- £300k purchase cost
- 75% LTV
- 3.5% interest rate
- £1000 monthly mortgage
- £1400 rental value
- 8% management fee
- 6% yield
Island situation is different, it is not a conventional, predictable project.
Your ROI is measured in % of you and your family surviving the near-term inevitable social collapse.
BONUS: supplemental income
