OVERVIEW
Totalitas is Reconnecting humanity to our explorer roots. We’re building the Earth-Mars Civilization Platform: ownable, self-sustainable nomadic habitats on Earth today, inspiring the next generation through museumx, and developing the vessels humanity will use to explore MArs.

OUR 2026 goals
In our inaugural operational year, Totalitas is laser-focused on turning visionary concepts into tangible prototypes and infrastructure. we're prioritizing hands-on builds that prove our self-sufficient habitat tech on Earth while laying the groundwork for MuseumX at Starbase. These milestones build momentum toward revenue-generating demos and real-world testing, all while advancing our Earth-Mars Civilization Platform.
prototype #1 [Fishbowl #1346]
Kicking off with the full electric conversion of our rare 1974 GM "Fishbowl" bus (#1346), a fourth-generation transit icon originally built for New York Bus Service (VIN: T6H-5308A-053). This 40-foot vintage beast features a single door, double floor, and original 6V71 Detroit Diesel engine with Allison VH-9 transmission—known for its reliability, having required only routine maintenance in decades of service. Acquired at auction from New York and driven cross-country (with an on-the-spot transmission rebuild during a rainy roadside adventure), it's now in Reno, NV, ready for transformation into a fully electric, off-grid habitat. We'll integrate solar-powered EV drivetrains, closed-loop water/waste systems, and hydroponics for food production, creating a resilient mobile home that tests Mars-relevant life support.
prototype #2 [Halo jr.]
Construct a subscale wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) unit to fabricate structural components for habitats and industrial demos. This will be tested on real parts, enabling rapid prototyping of durable, single-piece metal elements like habitat shells. hardware will be sourced from gradient robotics, with collaborative efforts on software. this first subscale variant will be mountable to the rear of Fishbowl #1346, allowing for mobile demonstrations and on-site printing work.
On-Road Demos / Early Jobs
Hit the road with the converted Fishbowl prototype for live demos, while taking on client work: converting existing buses into habitats, producing initial printed habitat builds, and showcasing industrial printing capabilities to generate early revenue.
secure/prep Museumx land
Acquire target property along Highway 4 near Starbase, Texas just before the final checkpoint on launch day. complete foundational groundwork, including soil reinforcement and pouring the first concrete pad to support future expansion. Save retired starship #20 and super heavy booster #12 for the first vehicle exhibits.
open museumx phase 1
Roll out an initial sprung-tent facility with immersive exhibits (featuring Starbase artifacts and potential retired Starship hardware, in partnership with SpaceX where possible). Include outdoor vehicle displays and an on-site habitat park for early customers, real-world testing, and admissions revenue—establishing MuseumX as a cultural hub that doubles as our production base and sets us up for a promising 2027!
