May I humbly suggest videoing the talks in at least 720p (ideally 1080p) as some of the slides aren't legible :(
Hope it's a Best Seller !! Look like those Colonies in Space, could get built... sooner than I thought. Still watching Mars !
Is there any chance you can reupload this video with a split screen of Zubrin and the slideshow?
I agree. He was so on. I was wishing I could see him!
Bravo. Brilliant talk, Dr. Z!
Great talk always but can we have better video...
sig matics - Try 1981 TV video!
First!! Yay, Zubrin's on! This is gonna be fun!! 🎉 🚀 👍
Brilliant talk, thanks Dr.Zubrin, you are a salve for a sometimes brutalized world.
Robert Zubrin, is a person the world needs to hear a lot more from. But his wider reach is prevented by basically only appearing in long format video and books, always doing talks from a space focused perspective, and including too much mission specifics, which is awesome for the geeks, will make most people check out mentally.. and to some extent poor recordings are also something you can only endure once you know it's worth it.
Please, someone, anyone, make clips in the 1 to 4 minute range with some of the the more dramatic, pointed takes from Zubrin directed at normal people outside space context and their world to get them interested. Zubrin videos should be something you can watch all day on UA-cam on the first day you discover his existence. This is how public intellectuals move from their specialized fields into positions of educating the public these days, no way around it.
We need "Big Think" style videos with Zubrin or "Zubrin detroys" videos all over UA-cam about the topics that he brings up in passing during his talks:
Nuclear power safety, space infrastructure cost/benefits, environmental conserns, human risk taking, value of science and more - the counter to all the bad thinking out there.
- and all needs to take it's context from common people's view fo the world, their concerns rather than the ambitions and howto's about space, which are for the people who are already hooked ;)
Actually, a lot of the “popular science” & “popular history” UA-camrs tend to do a lot of “bite-sized” single topic videos that go from 7 to 16 minutes. If he could restrict himself to one narrow topic at a time, that could work for Dr. Zubrin. That type of format would also allow the writing & publication of 2-5 page magazine articles.
I’ve seen other videos from the Mars Society that were at least 720p, so I have to wonder why everything from this conference seems have been filmed with 1970’s era TV cameras. This “Potato Quality” Audio & Video is actually so distracting it makes it hard to listen to the topics they’re discussing.
Zubrin DESTROYS luddite with FACTS and KNOWLEDGE.
Lmao, that'd be something to see.
such mangnificient Persona ! hugely underrated scientist and visioner ! nobody knows more about this subject ! nobody...
My boy Zubrin was really on the juice in this video
10:20 "The wind was blowing 20 knots--NASA wouldn't even have launched."
Whilst there's some sad truth to that, it's one thing launching a test flight when it's windy and quite another as soon as you have millions of dollars' worth of equipment on board...
Wait, is Dr Zubrin using a slide overhead projector?
bravo robert.
What's with that noise ? Is someone practicing archery?
Is this recorded in a bar?
OMG can you imagine if he was the cabaret in some space themed bar? I'd drink myself to death listening to his stuff . I'd just never go home.
Love the Zubster 👍
Dr Zubrin , my earlier comment , brief as it was , nevertheless apt , i believe , in our present situation . was , before i heard the rest of your lecture , which echoed my thoughts entirely :) We live in a world of millions of individuals with the same amount of insight and diverse opinions in all matter of things . I dont know whether you agree with me or not ? But , I do believe , Dr Steven Greer is on the right track , so to speak .I.E. By all accounts , we are not alone and are being surveyed by far superior intelligences than ourselves . I believe , in order to further our advancement on this beautiful planet , that we should show a lot more humility and accept our fragility in the grand scheme of things and let them show us the way .Its not going to happen ! But , they are my thoughts through many painstaking hours of reflection :) Would love to chat with you one day , unfortunately , i abide in an intellectual wilderness :(

Okay
Sorry ! me again . The way i see it , ok , mars , the moon ok for mining purposes , but a waste of time for habitation , ok , could terraform mars eventually , if we could harness antigravity technology the universe is our ocean . In a twinkle of an eye , one could find earth like planets wherever and populate said planets too relieve our potential over population here . Would give us a few more planets to fuck up :) no , but , seriously , hopefully by then we will be a bit more sensible ? Nevertheless , perfectly feasible , what do you reckon ?
NO Scunt NO! Noo, Nooo, BOOOOOOOOO scunt, BOOOOOO.
If you learn exponential growth and sustainability in the ocean dead zones and develop the moon you might be ready for Europa and correct atmospheric co2 surplus at same time. Humans to mars cost/risk/benefit ratio isn't likely to be worth it for a while.
What makes you think Europa with more radiation & lower gravity than Mars, along with at least 4x the transit time, would be easier to colonize than Mars? &, what makes you think the cost/risk/benefit ratio would be better for Europa than Mars?
Europa is water, pick the depth of shielding you like. The radiation is electromagnetic may be used for power. Every step of progress on mars would be a struggle threw the salted earth. Europa may have potential for exponential growth with just a seed like investment. We are talking of future of humanity not just a little team.

Europa's surface is bombarded with 540 rem of radiation every day, it takes 200 rem in a day for acute radiation sickness to take place and 1000 rem over a few hours to kill someone straight up. You wouldn't make it a week with our current tech, even just the landing and orbit operations would nearly kill you, let alone the time it'll take you to get under the ice.
On the other hand, on Mars with light shielding you would receive about 8 rem every year, comparable to the 5 rem maximum dose of a nuclear worker. If we're talking near term space flight (
@@jeffvader811 why and how would you be on surface of Europa? If your cabin crew was just sunk 6 feet under water surface it be more shielding than you could provide otherwise. Just isn't worth the risk and effort to send humans to mars, we don't know that of Europa till we test the waters.
@@ronbrideau8902
A mission to Europa would be and order of magnitude times more dangerous and difficult than a mission to Mars.
For one thing, a minimum energy trajectory would take 1000 days to reach Jupiter from Earth, and even with our very largest launch vehicles you could only get less than a tonne that far into the solar system (compared with 16.8 tonnes to Mars). For a roundtrip time of 2000 days, you would receive a radiation exposure of about 200 rem, then assuming it takes you 24 hours to get into European orbit, land, EVA, and get underground to a zero radiation environment (this is how long it took to go from orbit insertion to landing on Apollo 11), you will receive another 540 rem dose, or a cumulative dose of 740 rem on the entire mission, compared with just 120 rem for an unshielded mission to Mars.

A manned mission to Europa is outside our current technological capability. Mars is a much more realistic goal for the next decade or two, and will bring an immense amount of scientific return.
good lecture but the part about Germany ""Jews started WW1 &2 not Germany"
Musk said Falcon Heavy development cost was more like 5 billion, not 1 billion
No, $5 billion is amount Elon is trying to get for the Starship.
@@kokofan50 check the post FH 1st launch press conference.
@@sulljoh1
According to wikipedia it was only $500 million: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_Heavy#Conception_and_funding
