Bowie Base One

Bowie Base 1 was an international base designed on Mars on 2058 which was built into the Gusev Crater as a research base with a Bio-Dome. It was most likely named after David Bowie as a reference to his song "life on mars". The base was headed by Captain Adelaide Brooke and had a crew of nine humans. 17 months after humans had moved in the base. The Doctor visited at the same time Andy Stone and four other crew members were infected by The Flood. As a result the base was blown up by Adelaide who initiated Action 5. There where only three survivors plus the Doctor and Gadget.

Countries known to be involved in the Bowie Base One mission were the United Kingdom, United States of America, Russia, Germany, Pakistan, South Korea, and Australia. The flags of these countries can be seen in the wall of the control hub. (DW: The Waters of Mars)
