Sometime around 2030, hopefully sooner, the decision will be made to set up a base on Deimos--the outer moon of Mars. This base will constitute the preparatory first step to the construction of bases on Mars. Before the arrival of humans, small factories to generate water and oxygen will have landed along with some construction robots to support any needed modifications to the environment. One modification will be building an underground safety space in case of major radiation bursts from the sun.
After this is in place, humans will arrive in a large multi-story cylinder which will be the focus of activity on the moon. It is very possible that this will be a one-way trip for the humans. The first few years will be spent developing the overall base environment using an array of robots controlled by the humans using telepresence. While the humans will be able to move outside the cylinder in their spacesuits, most of the activity on the moon will be performed by the robots.
