      Exactly. In like a hundred years we might have a space robot "economy" completely separate to our economy and we may be able to go to space hotels, big telescopes, 0'Neil cylinders, that may cost nothing. The robots would have to be able to mine and smelt and construct in space. And be able to maintain stuff and make more robots and maintain themselves, to be able to build stuff in space for us (cos nothing is 100% reliable). Of course it would include AI. A big difference to those depressing inflatables that we have to take with us, not to mention the astronomical cost. Better to wait for AI to be advanced enough and maybe we could just tell the computer what we want and it will tell us how to initiate all of this.

      Elon Musk is fascinating, but I don't believe the hype that surrounds Spacex and the mission to Mars. Joe Scott did a video on the difficulties of the trip to Mars with current technology, it would be fatal for the astronauts, that is to slow.
      Once arriving on Mars and establishing a colony, doubtful, he intends to terraform it by nuking it. Will Elon be going himself? Will Elon claim Mars for the USA? Fantastic, nationalism in space. Starlink giving world wide communication coverage, yes I will be able to text someone who I'm sitting right next too anywhere in the world.
      This is not my idea of progress for humanity. When Armstrong/Aldrin where pressured to make a statement extolling the virtues of the USA, they declined. I want us to go to the moon/mars and beyond without poisoning our solar system, to much and not disfigured by ugly nationalism.

      Humans will always be more versatile and dependable than robots. Humans on Mars can build telescopes and radar tracking dish's that will act as early warning systems for Earth & the Moon, (as well as Mars) against meteorites/comets possibly Solar Flares. With the thinner atmosphere of CO2, it may give a clearer view and it is closer to the Main Asteroid Belt. Mars could be useful for mining the asteroids for rare earth metals.

    We could build spacecraft the size of the space station in just 2 years if we automate, or remote the process of attaching the modules. In 2020, the Falcon9 flew more than 20 times flawlessly. When the Starship Booster is ready, it could do the same thing but with much more mass. So imagine launching at least 20 modules in 1 year. We could build the Enterprise in half the time it took to build the ISS.

    thanks for great video. But I have a derived question. Max payload is limited by fairing. But what is actually limiting a fairing? I kind of understand that it is sort liquid dynamics and complex optimization problems. But can't they trade off efficiency once in a while in favor of bigger geometry?

    The casting of materials with perfect internal homogenity /no gravity-pressures and density-variations/ will lead us to the metallic (and rigid plastic) foams.

    we need 3D printer tech that can actually print the stuff too, which is why I have been focused on this and how to achieve for earth bound or internal units in a starship vacuum since a lot of the work has to have that vacuum to properly control the output of fabrication. I just wish there were more people working on or supporting this tech to allow a completed "replicator" level of printer tech that can produce every part it is made of, as well as the myrid of electronic and structural units made of virtually everything from the plastics people are used to thinking of, to metal or even molecular structures based on simple carbon molecules rather than large collections of polymer chains of carbon compounds like fused filament is mostly focused on,

    Hmm... 3D Printed Spacecraft on space?
    The prospect Space Mining and using the materials to 3D print space vehicles. I could think of this as a future industry that we could possibly see soon, hopefully in our lifetimes.
    Edit: 7:00 welp I jinxed it

    And there's the answer to all those blockheads who ask what's the use of the space program: it's a massive technology driver.
    I've been hearing about future space industry since I was a boy in the 70's. I'd like to live to see it for real.

    That's incredible. I'm an hgv mechanic to trade so my job is worn parts. But if they're not touching then no wear and no lube and printing organs. Wow.
