When playing Surviving Mars I might have build a 'retirement dome' where colonists can spend their non-productive last days, complete with their own service levels and independent life support that definitely works all the time.
@@SebastianWellsTL Remember when Obamacare set up "death panels" to decide who lives and dies, and Trumpcare came along and eliminated them by replacing Obamacare with a thoughtful, reasoned approach to universal healthcare that respected everyone's life? Me neither.
In other words, "surviving mars" and "The Expanse" will happen for real, but probably without the alien elements. I don't mind, I love that game and that show. I wish I could live long enough to see it though.
Exactly what I was thinking. In the last minute or so of the video where he discusses the longer term possibilities that is pretty much Mars as portrayed in The Expanse.
Perhaps we will have to build a large Space Station approximately 1 km in diameter. It will have to spin to create artificial gravity. It will have to likely have an inner section that does not spin that could serve as a docking area for space ships and shipping and receiving. It would have to have a middle section that can spin or stop spinning for the purpose of transferring people and goods to the permanent spinning section (or the section that is the most permanently spinning). It is likely that the outer almost permanently spinning section would normally have to have days of advanced notice before the spin could slow down or stop. The outer section would have to have locking clamps to secure any objects or food that is normally not secured during times of no artificial gravity. The outer section would be the living habitat and would need total or acceptable protection from radiation. The inner non-spinning section would likely house the engines for propulsion of the entire space station, and perhaps power for propulsion of the spin and breaking of the middle and outer sections (likely ring like perhaps the power from the center section could be transferred to the outer sections similar to the way electric street cars have a pole mounted on the street car that goes up to a wire, or perhaps like an electric train gets power from the tracks. There would likely have to be 2 or 3 nuclear power generators housed in the inner section and perhaps they would have the capability to be ejected from the station if one became unstable. This space station could then be sent to orbit Mars or any other moon or planet that would benefit from the station orbiting that body. This way, scientists, miners, builders, farmers, etc. could take necessary breaks from working on bodies that are dangerous to stay on for certain amounts of time.
“Communications would be difficult… imagine sending a message to a friend and having to wait hours, sometimes days, for a response.” Sounds about normal anyways. Everyone always pretends like they’re busy to respond quickly, anyways.
worst time lag is 48 minutes +the time to digest your message and compose the return message. Any delays on top of that are due to the human factors which, like you rightly state, are absolutely normal. As a matter of fact, the Martians probably have a LOWER effective delay due to the 'Oh it's Mars'-effect that'll probably be in place for at least the first few months.
_"...settlers will not have all of Earth's luxuries."_ Now THAT is an understatement! They'll be on a planet is always trying to kill them. The harshest place on Earth is a paradise in comparison to any random spot on Mars.
I don't think a colony on Mars will ever happen. There's no payback for a massively insane expense. When we can build self-sustaining habitats, there will be no point to building one way out on Mars.
what could solve the muscle deterioration and strength could be an exoskeleton attached to the EMU/EVA suit for support till they get used to gravity on mars, or the moon.
Ive said it before and I'll say it again. The only way this will work is if you're adding on / printing new habitat modules and rooms every few months. There is no reason why this couldn't be done with in situ resource utilization.
Here is my recent post that I had AI modify to improve the structure of the narrative for better understanding. I used Copilot. Here it is: **Concept for a Large Space Station** **Overview:** A large space station, approximately 1 km in diameter, designed to create artificial gravity through rotation. The station will have distinct sections to facilitate various functions, including docking, habitation, and propulsion. **Structure:** 1. **Inner Non-Spinning Section:** - **Purpose:** Serves as a docking area for spaceships and a hub for shipping and receiving. - **Features:** Houses the engines for propulsion and power generation, including 2-3 nuclear power generators with ejection capabilities for safety. 2. **Middle Section:** - **Purpose:** Acts as a transitional zone for transferring people and goods between the non-spinning and spinning sections. - **Features:** Capable of spinning or stopping as needed to facilitate safe and efficient transfers. 3. **Outer Spinning Section:** - **Purpose:** Provides living habitats with artificial gravity. - **Features:** - Requires advanced notice to slow down or stop spinning. - Equipped with locking clamps to secure objects and food during periods without artificial gravity. - Offers total or acceptable protection from radiation. **Functionality:** - **Artificial Gravity:** Achieved through the rotation of the outer section. - **Power Transfer:** Power from the inner section is transferred to the outer sections, similar to how electric streetcars or trains receive power. - **Safety Measures:** Includes the capability to eject nuclear power generators if they become unstable. **Mission:** The space station can be deployed to orbit Mars or other moons and planets, providing a safe and stable environment for scientists, miners, builders, farmers, and other personnel. This allows them to take necessary breaks from working on potentially hazardous planetary surfaces.
As exciting as it is to see SpaceX build its starship to get humans to mars I am becoming increasingly concerned for what will happen when people get there. As this video points out there are many known and unknown problems to be faced ranging from the harsh environment to just natural human flaws creating conflict. I am genuinely concerned over the technology for building mars habitats in situ, parts have been demonstrated but I am unsure of how mature this technology is. The tesla Optimums robot today is barley able to manipulate a brick let alone build a wall unsupervised and yet it seems the expectation is that it will be ready to ship to mars in two years to build up the 'manned base'. Yeah Elon makes big claims but Elon time is seldom reflected in reality. Still exciting to see what the future will hold.
If it happens, what will happen is quite obvious: 1) no matter the preparation, the preparation will prove to be inadequate. There are just too many unknowns to avoid that. 2) some shit will go horribly wrong, some people will die bad deaths. There will be public outrage. All remaining and future settlers will say 'yeah we know that shit could happen, and we know it could happen to us. We accept that. Now get out of the way and let us continue our job.' Just like the Apollo astronauts did after that test went horribly wrong. 3) is in doubt. Let's hope they manage some grand successes before that shit hits the fan, to provide some counterweight to the unavoidable public calls for cancellation, or something.
You might want to consider The Fermi Paradox. For whatever reason there appears to be a selection filter that stops sufficiently edvanced civilizations from moving out into space before they end. We are probably approaching that filter. It may be AI. It may be the ability to edit genomes. It may be particle physics experiments. Von Nueman robots, Thermonuclear War. Global Pandemics .Asteroid strikes... As Don Russell used to say-the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns. Any way you slice it you double our chances of the survival of consciousness by being multi-planetary.
The big reason is to create redundancy for humanity in case of an extinction level event here on Earth. Resource harvesting would be a secondary reason
@@jaythegreat9211 A case could be made that if we mess up badly enough to render Earth uninhabitable, we failed our test and should make way for something else. Resources of any kind are unlikely to be worth the effort to ship home, so resource extraction is a silly reason.
One reason of many: the technology we'd develop by colonising Mars can help save the world. Everything designed for Mars will be designed for repairablity and recyclability; something we could definately use here at home. But even bigger; a Martian colony will force us to develop mastery over closed-loop systems with a.o. biological factors, which is something we don't (really) have because we don't need it (just torch some rainforest if you need more arable space, right?). If we develop the tech to have controlled food production for Mars you'd have the first keystone to learn how to scale & optimise for cost here on Earth; if every city had an Amazon veggie fulfillment center which produces nigh all food the city needs, human footprint would instantly become a LOT more manageable. And so on, and so on. Colonising Mars would present us with some very clear problems that push us to gain a level of mastery over ALL factors relevant for life to thrive. Factors that we don't even know about because they are already covered here. Maybe we learn something like the optimal way to bind and vitalise loose soil, which taches us that to fight desertification you don't need to plant and water billions of trees, you just need a sprayplane with a mixture of these specific 3 bacteria and 2 fungi or something. We don't know what we'll learn there, but we know we can learn things theere we can't learn over here. And I think the knowledge of how to transplant and sustain life itself is about the most valuable knowledge we as humanity could collect.
Given that the Earth will be hit by a planet killing asteroid in the future, with 100% certainty, it makes sense to gradually build up our expertise and technology for self sustaining habitats. However given the enormous expense, risk and resources involved i suspect we won't actually build one until we absolutely have to, when it might be too late.
Makes you wonder if the effort would be better spent on ways to divert asteroids. Find it early and it wouldn't take much to nudge it onto a different orbit.
There will be periods of time where Earth and Mars cannot communicate, when Mars and Earth are on opposite sides of the Sun. There would be the need for communications satellites in solar orbit to allow some type of E/M comms.
Only the Moon is worth colonising, and then only for industry. Otherwise we should put our effort into habitats. Kyplanet agrees, see his latest video.
Could we use pre-streamed entangled photons to communicate with zero lag? That is to say have a constant stream of entangled photons going both ways that move at light speed but that are modulated by users after the fact to create audio or visual signal? Just throwing it up on the whiteboard for consideration.
FTL communications? Nope. You can entangle particles, but they cannot be used to send useful information. The receiver will always detect random noise. The universe may be "non-local", but the speed of light... indeed, the very speed of causality... isn't something you can get around.
Introverts wouldn't feel sad because delayed communication. Build a server there that has at least 30% of the internets data. 3D print a building that's 300x300 feet that has grass and trees inside. If it have super high ceilings it would be cool. Nevermind video games. Besides a Mars colony is the same as being in prison. Closed off from the world locked away in a small room with at least 150 people that you can't get away from. Sometimes it could be years to even touch real grass.
Nuclear sub crews will give a good example of people living in isolation in a non natural environment also man has shown historical its capacity in long term travel eg long sailing ship voyages and antarctic exploration
I think it will be great place to visit but you would not want to live there, like most of Canada and Antarctica, too cold a lot of the time of the year. But at least you can breathe in those Earthly places, unlike Mars. In the distant future though, when fully terraformed, it will become an Earth "ex-pat" location for many, I predict!! :D
Hold up what happened to building underground to protect from foreign objects hitting the camps and the upper stages are for light and visual because not much to see there 😂 & how they can get to the ice underground as well?
How is the human body going to get used to new types of atmosphere, not just physical chances, but physical too, right? Laws in space aren't taken into account yet, that would be the first step.
Read the book.......the case for mars by Dr Robert zubrin of the mars society. His plan......mars direct.....uses on site resources to make the water.....oxygen....food.....humans need. His plan was written before SpaceX. SpaceX is years ahead of any other rocket maker like Tesla is the best ever. Eslas Optimus robots can easily go ahead of manned missions and set up machines to make the oxygen water and food man needs. Dr zubrin gave an estimate of ten years and ten billion $. The NASA plan for mars is 20-30 years and 400 billion *$. Obviously the NASA plan will never work as it's too complex and costly. Nasas sls........part of the plan is ten years old and has not successfully flown and is over budget 3x..........NASA is a joke.... SpaceX can get us to Mars
What is the incentive for people to move to Mars? California and Australia attracted lots of people during gold rushes. Many Europeans settled in North America for religious freedom or to get land to start a farm. What resource is there on Mars? If the purpose of the colony on Mars is science like in Antarctica, then it will never grow bigger than say 100 people and will always be dependent on Earth for spare parts, medicines, etc.
The video explores life in a Mars colony, covering challenges of space travel, harsh Martian conditions, habitat designs, communication issues, necessary skills, psychological impacts, healthcare concerns, and potential long-term developments in Martian civilization.
Because terraforming takes centuries. By the time it’s terraformed to be like earth, it may already be too late. You know how much the population can grow in a couple hundred years?
Science is still discovering how our world works even though we evolved on this mud ball. Trying to duplicate it on what is probably a dead world is ludicrous.
Half of this is science fiction. At present, we don't even know if humans will be able to procreate on Mars, as no human has ever been conceived or born outside of Earth's gravity. There is also higher risk of genetic defects and cancer due to higher radiation exposure. The colony is more likely to be dug in underground because the thin Martian atmosphere doesn't burn up meteors the way that Earth's does. Even a small impactor can cause major damage. The cost per person just to live on Mars will likely be in nine-figures. Thus government is going to have to take on a huge amount of debt here. So much wishful thinking here it's not even funny.
I’m sorry….but if the solar winds blew the Martian atmosphere into the solar system, what would keep it from doing it again after trillions are spent to terraform Mars? How are you going to create a magnetic field to protect the atmosphere you’re trying to create?
Too many folks are watching and reading scifi. Technologies will improve in the next decades and may make such outposts “bearable” but the need for this now at tax payers expense is highly questionable.
Thank you for this video. You've touched on a number of important issues. However, I'm afraid that I have a few concerns. One qualm is related to your claim about the need for those travelling from Earth to Mars to contend with "the effect of microgravity on their bodies". I'm fairly certain that this need not be mandatory. All we have to do is design a spacecraft that has a sufficiently long spin arm allowing for a slow spin that nonethless can provide a simulated "gravity" environment that offers occupants up to the equivalent of 1G. As for the difficulties of communications, well, surely this will simply be a return to something like what we all had to put up with before the invention of the telegraph in the 19th Century? I am glad that you did mention the importance of autonomy, which might prove at least as challenging to "Martians" as the physical, environmental and technological challenges. The long-term organizational and governance needs (including law enforcement) of those on the Red Planet would not be well-served by whatever SpaceX (or NASA, or ESA, or CNSA) will seek to impose. Ultimately, the settlers will need to establish self-government (even though they will not be economically autonomous for decades, at least) and all the sub-elements of governance that would entail. What's more, "we" at this end would have to recognize and affirm the validity of such. Otherwise, I fear that the colonization effort would ultimately fail.

Is it really progress if humans go back to living in caves (on Mars)
Yes😊
You have to start somewhere.
Like any opportunity, it's not all butterflies and rainbows. Caves will only be the beginning!

Half of this is science fiction. At present, we don't even know if humans will be able to procreate on Mars, as no human has ever been conceived or born outside of Earth's gravity. There is also higher risk of genetic defects and cancer due to higher radiation exposure. The colony is more likely to be dug in underground because the thin Martian atmosphere doesn't burn up meteors the way that Earth's does. Even a small impactor can cause major damage. The cost per person just to live on Mars will likely be in nine-figures. Thus government is going to have to take on a huge amount of debt here. So much wishful thinking here it's not even funny.
Dude, wtf is with the gigantic mommy bot at 5:00?????????
if we send monks to mars then there will be no isolation problem XD
Short. Life on Mars will be short.
A day on Mars is only 37 minutes longer than earth so I don’t think it will have that big of a difference in life span. 😜
Every structure on Mars should be bored under ground.
Thank you for your contribution to enriching the content on TH-cam. Your videos always exceed expectations!🥇🌈🔥
We can't even manage our own planet! Give me a break!!!
-60 degrees Fahrenheit?..damn!!..Yakutsk Russia is -30 to -40.. if anyone can survive mars it would definitely be those humans lol
I’m sorry….but if the solar winds blew the Martian atmosphere into the solar system, what would keep it from doing it again after trillions are spent to terraform Mars? How are you going to create a magnetic field to protect the atmosphere you’re trying to create?
a harsh truth - What a Chinese Mars Colony Will Be Like! should be the title lol
Using stock / royalty footage is especially cringe when it resembles nothing like the environment discussed instead looking like a PSA.
Your videos always bring so much laughter and good cheer! Thank you for your talented and quality work!🥰👍🐽
I don’t think it’s possible.
What do you do with a colonist who commits an assault on another colonist? People will start losing their minds.
Just like we do in kindergarten: put them outside to cool off. After that, I'm sure they'll never do it again.
@ Yeah, by assault I meant grown up assault, you know, r*pe and m*rder? What do you do when that happens?
Whats the point Of all of this effort ?
yeey regulair voice
The truth is humans will not colonize mars in the lifetime of anyone who ever sees this.
Too many folks are watching and reading scifi. Technologies will improve in the next decades and may make such outposts “bearable” but the need for this now at tax payers expense is highly questionable.
Is Tucker Carlson the host? It sure sounds like it.
Please, can we stop talking about terraforming.
Earth must be " Terraformed first,once that is complete climate change ends

No views in 12 seconds, bro fell off
Glad to be part of this awasome video, great job as always !
WE DON'T NEED TO WASTE MONEY ON PUTTING HUMANS ON MARS! AI WILL DO FAR MORE, FOR A FRACTION OF THE COSTS!!!
First!
AI Thumbnail 👎🏻
Can you say body order. eew gross.
Thank you for this video. You've touched on a number of important issues.
However, I'm afraid that I have a few concerns. One qualm is related to your claim about the need for those travelling from Earth to Mars to contend with "the effect of microgravity on their bodies".
I'm fairly certain that this need not be mandatory. All we have to do is design a spacecraft that has a sufficiently long spin arm allowing for a slow spin that nonethless can provide a simulated "gravity" environment that offers occupants up to the equivalent of 1G.
As for the difficulties of communications, well, surely this will simply be a return to something like what we all had to put up with before the invention of the telegraph in the 19th Century?
I am glad that you did mention the importance of autonomy, which might prove at least as challenging to "Martians" as the physical, environmental and technological challenges.
The long-term organizational and governance needs (including law enforcement) of those on the Red Planet would not be well-served by whatever SpaceX (or NASA, or ESA, or CNSA) will seek to impose. Ultimately, the settlers will need to establish self-government (even though they will not be economically autonomous for decades, at least) and all the sub-elements of governance that would entail. What's more, "we" at this end would have to recognize and affirm the validity of such. Otherwise, I fear that the colonization effort would ultimately fail.
Only underground settlements! Otherwise, fast death. Search for natural caves.
Habitats on the surface covered in sandbags of mars soil would be the same as building underground
Your videos are the epitome of quality and style. I look forward to each new release!🫔🤖🌖
It will be epic!
