The Science Victory is achieved by the first player to establish a colony on the planet Mars. Once the Space Race is underway, and someone has launched their first satellite, all players will know who is attempting this victory. Players receive bonuses for reaching each milestone along the way to victory. The following steps must be completed in order:
Launch a Satellite into Space:
Reminiscent of Sputnik in 1957, you may build a satellite to launch into space after researching Rocketry and building a Spaceport. After completing the Earth Satellite project, your satellite will be launched and you will be awarded visibility of the entire map.
Land a Human on the Moon:
Just like the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, you will send a human to the moon. This is unlocked after researching the technology Satellites, and can be built in any city with a Spaceport. Choose to produce the Moon Landing project to begin this mission. After the rocket has been launched, you will immediately be rewarded a lump sum of

Culture.
Establish a Colony on Mars:
Science fiction for now, perhaps – but now you can be the first to send your people to Mars. After researching Robotics, Nuclear Fission, and Nanotechnology, you may build the Reactor, Habitation, and Hydroponics module projects in any city with a Spaceport. Note that more than one Spaceport means parallel production!
Once every piece is launched, you have won the game.
