Life Beyond Earth: Venice Biennale lunar habitat
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2021
- A detailed concept for a lunar habitat, created by one of the world’s leading architectural firms with ESA technical support, is currently on show at the Biennale in Venice. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, originator of many of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, worked with ESA on a semi-inflatable habitat design which could be part of a long-term vision for an international Moon settlement.
The resulting design is on show at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia (@BiennaleChannel). While the theme of the overall exhibition is ‘How will we live together?’, the SOM installation is called ‘Life Beyond Earth’, peering beyond our post-COVID-19 planet to show how human life can be sustained in the hostile space environment.
The installation encompasses two large-scale, physical models and this film, bringing Biennale visitors on a journey from Earth to the Moon’s surface.
SOM designed a semi-inflatable shell structure to offer the highest possible volume to mass ratio. Once inflated on the lunar surface, it would reach approximately double its original internal volume.
A lot of work went into the four-storey habitat interior, in terms of lighting conditions, reconfigurable features, and a high floor to ceiling space, to allow crew members to take advantage of lunar one-sixth g using grabbing bars and other simple aids.
Its chosen site has been described as the most desirable real estate in the Solar System: the rim of Shackleton crater beside the lunar South Pole. Avoiding the crippling temperature extremes of the Moon’s two-week days and nights, this location offers near-continuous sunlight for solar power, an ongoing view of Earth and access to lunar water ice deposits in adjacent permanently-shadowed craters.

Love it. Let's just hope Europe can act cohesively and independently in space in the future. Which probably requires a bigger budget and a unified vision.
This hits me right in the feels, Well played ESA.
Very moving. Our deepest dream as a species, to feint extinction by expanding into the universe.
not gonna lie, they had us in the first half
This will be the first step in expanding into the solar system. The water ice trapped in those lunar cryogenic polar craters can be mined and processed into fuel (LH2) and oxidizer (LOX) and SOLD to space ships and space probes at LEO. If you have as much Delta V available as it took you to get to LEO you can go anywhere in the solar system.
one step closer to the first galactic empire!
@@Axel-hr5kk - decades ago, when I was in the first iteration of the St. Louis Space Frontier, a chapter in the L5 society (we are now a chapter of the National Space Society), one of our member had a box of "advertising pencils" printed with our name and the comment "The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will take the Universe." L O L
@@Axel-hr5kk - but the speed of light delay will make "a controlling, central government" impossible.
Perhaps "The Rare Earth Hypothesis" answers Fermi's Question *_Where is everybody?_* we are the first and we will figure out how to be a galactic civilization.
No you can't just drop something as pretty as this then act like nothing happened, beautiful cinematic
Let's do this!! @ESA is one of the greatest assets on our planet.
Inspiring.
Just amazing work, ESA. My greatest hope is that this becomes a reality.
For all mankind!
Hi bob
@@veaceslavvirlan9922 Hi Bob
Love the stairs built as DNA ... Such a symbol... We should never forget that luck and ramdom evolution processes have led to a species capable of such Amazing progress ...
Thanks ESA for everything ! ❤
Now that I think about it, those stairs would be absolutely useless due to the gravity of the moon. You could jump up them like ten at a time.
@@nousername8162 i mean, we still got stairs at the apollo decent modules, so probably just a safety precaution.
@@lincolnpangfilio580 that was because the EVA suits were very heavy
@@nousername8162 ah, i see
And yet, this is just the beginning. We're spreading our wings and leaving the nest, who knows what our descendants living among the stars may look like when they look back at us, their ancestors, in some millions of years.
The only issue I have is the ol' egoistic one: I'm not fit to go to space, and I'm not getting any younger (yet). But there is such a thing as benevolent envy: all the best for those who'll make it. And can't wait. Hope I'll get to speak to you over there, whoever you'll be.
You can make this yours by supporting the initiative. It's like having children. You don't get to live their lives but you get to enjoy loving them as they grow. ^_^
Blessed are old people who plant trees knowing that they shall never sit in the shade of their foliage.
Well that’s an incredible work you’ve done here!
I love esa
Our generation was born too early to explore the universe. I can't even imagine what humanity will become in space exploration in the next few thousand years.
ESA is An Amazing Company, ESA is doing a Good Job, Keep it Up ♥️👍
it isn't a company, but i agree on the other part!
ESA is the european space agency run by the states of the EU
Awesome project, hope it becomes a reality soon! Go ESA!
From Russia with love! We love you! And we are very much waiting for Gateway and Moon Village!
Is russia helping with Gateway?
Roscosmos will help with this? I thought they were going with the Chinese one?
@@angelsaavedra633 Roscosmos won't. They will indeed team up with the Chinese to make China-Russian "research" base (I'm putting "" there because I absolutely will not believe that they are only gonna do research)
@@Avalonest yup I agree what do you think they will do there?
@@angelsaavedra633 if it's made near an Artemis program base then maybe scouting. Also possibly testing new weapon systems to work in deep space. But they also might do cooperation with the Artemis base nations with some things (who knows)
At first it seemed to me that it's a sci fi movie but then I realized golden age of exploration is coming again .
Life as a multi planetary species is possible and it is coming our way
Omg this hypes me up!
This gave me inspiration to do a mün colony in Kerbal Space Program, well done E.S.A.
This brought tears to my eyes...europe can achieve so much. But we united, as a species, as humans can truly conquer the galaxy
I’m soooo happy that ESA is part of the Artemis program
Hopefully this project will become a reality with me as a part of it.
Looks awesome. Good luck ESA! Our ESA! ❤
Thank you very much ESA👍🏻
Our pleasure!
🚀💕🚀💕🚀💕🚀💕🚀
That's an incredible render of a possible city on the lunar surface. I hope that these designs will be considered while building the first basecamp on the Moon. Such a great work ESA! I'm looking forward for the first long term human mission on the Moon.
3:14 Of course she is!
This is amazing, great job ESA!
Glad you like it!
One day this will be a daily view.
Probably the best cinematic movie ever by ESA!!! Excellent work! Cant wait to join yr astronaut team to the moon one day!
Making true progress is difficult. But I believe ESA is achieving it
I don't.
@@WetaMantis why
@@alexanderm2220 because EU is a complicated mess of burecratic nonsense-
@@Skullbrothers Lol. Well I meant it in terms of being sustainable
That's so beautiful. It is everyone's dream and mine. I want to contribute too. So that we can all finally start working together not as a country but as one planet . I want to be another Martian on the moon 🚀🌍🛰️🌑🔴👩🏼🚀✨🤩😍🤙🏻💪🏻🤞🏻📸.
Esa is the best ❤ one day I would like to work for you guys
I can’t imagine what our ancestors would think of what we are about to do as a species. Oh Esa you are such perfect art.
You guys are the best, awesome visualisation
Wonderful 👏👏 hopefully I'll be able to see these happening in my lifetime.
Houaaouu!! Incroyable projet. Un vrai boost pour l'esprit humain. Cela permettra à l'homme d'élever son niveau de conscience et établir de véritable fait de recherche.
Incrível a projecção da Lua ...faz-nos imaginar que estamos lá!! Que grande aventura e não sai do lugar, a música engrandeceu mais a vontade de vingar a ambição de a explorar! A Lua a magia num lugar longínquo cada vez mais perto de abraçar! Que fantástico....
Muchias Gracias Seniorina o Seniorita por complimentas🤩
Thank you for this video!👍👍👍👍
Wow. Greetings from India. 💝🇮🇳
i love this space agency since im from sweden! i am honnored that we can be a part of something that goes beyond earth and i am especialy exited fore the reusabole rocket tests in northern sweden next year! il be there whatching it and it will be my first evver rocket launch witness when it hapens!
Wooooaaaa. Hope ESA succeeds in reusable rocket testing. Greetings from India. 🇮🇳
Very laborious this Video
Great Job 🤩👍
Glad you liked it
I wanna dedicate my life helping to make this vision becoming a reality!
This is just beautiful. It would be great to be part of such a future!
Best video I've ever seen ❤️🔥🤩
This is amazing video! Thank you ESA!
Thank you for watching!
looks exciting, i hope i live to see this one day be nice to know humanity is finally getting it done.
Incredible!
This is amazing.
Amazing!
Increíble video ❤
Esa your the best space Program ever. I love my continent. ❤
Merci , doux rêve...!
I love SPACE ,I want to become an astronaut and explore beautiful space .it is mu aim.i love ESA❤
Wow awesome
Please continue this as a series. Keep dreaming. Keep creating.
So cool 😎👍🏻👏🏻
Good job!
I'm so damn excited :DDD
Cool Ending! 🚀🌙
I'd love to see it one day!
Nice simulation, I hope it will go beyond.
Love the video and love the music! Which one is it?
The Moon Village (ESA) in this video, I think, is on the rim of Shackleton Crater near the Moon's south pole. At 3:33 we see Earth near the horizon. This is prime real estate for two reasons;
one, the crater rims around the Moon's south pole have multiple locations that have near continuous sunshine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_of_eternal_light and so nearly continuous power. At 1:58 we get a clear view of a "forest" of solar power "trees" catching the sunshine coming in nearly parallel to the ground. Power transmission lines will be run to the other peaks for a network providing continuous power.
and two, the bottoms of those craters are cryogenic - they have never had any sunshine since the Moon became tidally locked to the Earth, possibly even before that. They only see the background radiation of the Universe, i.e., ~2.73 Kelvin, very close to absolute zero. Some of the volatiles put in to a temporary atmosphere of the Moon by every asteroid and comet impact condensed there and have stayed trapped by the extreme cold. The volatiles not trapped there were either accelerated to escape velocity by the high temperature dayside or were swept away by the solar wind with a very small fraction embedded in the regolith not at the poles.
This Moon Village will be the first step in expanding into the solar system. The water ice trapped in those lunar cryogenic polar craters can be mined and processed into fuel (LH2) and oxidizer (LOX) and SOLD to space ships and space probes at LEO. Other volatiles like CO2 and NH3 (amonia) will be used to support farming and food production.
If you have as much Delta V available as it took you to get to LEO you can go anywhere in the solar system.
Very nice!
that was an amazing surprise
Awesome
Super cool video!!
Glad you liked it!
Looks good, but what about the required launches? Stil no affordable, re-usable launch system for ESA in sight.
ESA needs more budget! We have the brightest minds in Europe, now we need some American boldness as a continent
This reminds me a lot of Erik Wernquist's "Wanderers" short film. Definitely recommended if you liked this one.
a masterpiece
Superbe vidéo, concept très intéressant ! Congratulations ESA
Thanks for watching Franck!
Looks like an interesting concept. But i would still like to understand how this habitats should protect from radiation. I thought esa already had an idea for that, by encasing the habitat with lunar soil... Also there is extreme heat. U just plan to land at the poles or do u land in crater to solve this problem?
Strangely reminds me of those safety cone houses in Cars.
It is a amazing project, but how do you want to solve the problem of the huge cosmic radiation by missing an Athmosphere. Shure the Apollo missions worked, but there were on moon for a few days. How ist it possible to stay on moon for months without getting to much radiation?
I am looking forward to design the civil engineering for all the lunar project!
круто!
Beautiful... So, where can I get tickets
Its all nice and well done, but seems to forget something very very important: The Moon gets hit by about 2800 kg of meteor material per day. Construction there owe to be underground.
Love it
Top ;)
Where do i sign up?
This is the 'Moon village' project, right? Will ESA build this one? That will be dreamlike! Spread light of consciousness to multiple worlds!
So so so amazing… You need a doctor at ESA maybe? I‘m here for you!!! 🚀
Godspeed
love it
I love the idea of going to the moon and the video is stunning, but it seems ESA technical advisors missed some issues or, probably, were outvoted in favor of artistic license. a) Why does the habitat in transit to the moon spin so fast? (and why it makes sound when it passes by?) Solar panels are getting intermittent sunlight, likewise the heath radiators. If it is only the empty habitat, it doesn't really need such big solar panels, otherwise, it means it is crewed and, if so, the passengers might be uncomfortable with that much spinning. b) The dynamics of the habitat being transported on the back of the truck on the moon surface seem all wrong. Objects on the moon have one sixth of the weight on Earth but still the full mass. c) Why do the flashlights on the astronaut's helmets show an halo? There is no atmosphere where particles could float. Images of the moon landings are clear and sharp, it doesn't seem that the astronauts stirred the lunar dust and created clouds of dust that could be lighted and form an halo. d) Why would the habitats have spiral staircases? With a sixth of the gravity, there would be nothing easier than a straight ladder where you could slide down or jump up skipping rungs. And such a waste of space! How does that spiral staircase fold when in transit? e) How does the astronaut manages to press those tiny little buttons on the tablet on the sleeve with his gloved hands? f) Where is the radiation shielding? Unless you want to carry tons of shielding from Earth (or don't care about your astronauts getting cooked), the best option is to cover the habitats with thick layers of lunar dust which is difficult when those habitats stand vertically. Laying on the side would make matters easier and would avoid the stairs altogether. So, as I said, nice visuals, motivational and all, but bad science and technology.
Do they have the budget to do that? When is esa supposed to land on the moon? 🤔
Animations are cool but I would love to see that on the moon
beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Sooo… what's the rent, and do i get gardening area?
a small city on the ridge, and it gives you perspective on how tiny we are...
Wow! I would love to see that happen in my lifetime! 👨🚀
Very impressive animation movie! Liked the concept's designs. This makes me wonder, are the lava tubes habitats deemed obsolete ideas or are they placed in such areas they can't be a solution for most of the sites that are seen at point of interest?
D C - lava tubes are easy to find in the maria areas, which are lava flood plains, especially where parts of the tubes collapsed.
What a Dream !
Updating 2001 ?
to 2101 ?
I wish they hadn't added sound to exterior shots, the whoosh of a spacecraft flying by, the sound of rocket engines, the crunch of regolith under rover wheels...
That and the lighting, which would have all crisp shadows on the moon with no atmosphere to diffuse the light.
Those are choices I feel where if they'd made it more accurate it would make it more beautiful and exotic. No need for mood music on the moon either if you ask me ;)
Thank you very much for sharing your ideas with us, Jeff!
Is ESA plans to make reusable space plane ?
