Sanguine Estates

The windswept surface of Mars beckons to the restless with promises of adventure. This fantastical colonization of the planet Mars begins with a housing development called Sanguine Estates. When you do decide to make the big move, nothing will be all that different. This alternative to life on Earth offers citizens every comfort and amenity of suburban life. Life continues as normal, just under a somewhat redder sky. While Sanguine Estates promotes the cheerful promises of a new beginning, its name evokes a world flushed with a reddish color reminiscent of blood. Sanguine Estates promises a future full of life, but it also suggests the price we pay for progress.
