When you picture a Mars colony, glass domes are probably the last thing you imagine. However, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has stated that the first human colony on Mars will be built using glass domes. Not to appeal to authority but if there’s anyone worth listening to about space travel, it's this guy.
Not to mention that SpaceX has been quite vocal about their efforts towards establishing the first human colony on Mars, so they've likely put a lot of effort into figuring out what the most pragmatic steps to take would be. Elon Musk's Mars vision is fuelled by a recognition of the need for humankind to become a multi-planetary species. Though the idea of living on Mars might sound appealing, the reality for the early settlers on the red planet is a harsh one.

The early settlers will have to live in temporary habitats before the planet’s resources can be used to build proper shelters and possibly terraform it. Until then, the planet is pretty much inaccessible and a radical solution will have to be found before the Mars settlement can even begin to bear any sort of resemblance to the Earth.

That being said, Elon Musk has stated that he intends to settle a million people on Mars before 2050. If such an ambitious goal is achieved, millions of people will find the idea of living on Mars to be incredibly appealing. The question is, what will life be like on the Mars colony?
