- How We Will Build Houses On Mars! We have a good idea of how we will get to Mars, but once we get there.. how will we colonize Mars, and build houses and infrastructure? What is Mars base alpha going to look like, how will we sleep on Mars, and what will a Mars house look like?

0:00 Introduction
0:43 The hard part
4:02 Caves above ground
8:21 A bloody mess - Наука та технологія
The 3d printed house for sure. Perhaps we can have a shop as well. We can sell Mars Bars.
When the tribal wars start the above ground houses will go first
Will they sell milky ways?
I always thought lava tubes would be the Ideal habitat.
A robot could spray a polymer on the inside of the tube to seal and stabilize it then cap the ends with polymer.
Or just inflate habitats in it.
If you want less protected structures on the surface they could be built next.
At least you would have an extremely safe structure to go to in the event of a massive CME from the sun or severe storms on the surface.
😊
I am thinking under ground would be the most efficient way on MARS at least for the beginning.
I always thought it would make WAY more sense to inflate a polymer habitat inside of an old lava tube.
Just need a mechanism to get into and out of the tube.
It would provide orders of magnitude better protection from radiation, storms, etc. and would take very little energy.
On surface initially because you wouldnt need mining equipment, but long term would have to be under ground to hide from radiation and falling rocks...and ofcourse thats where all the dinosaur bones are
Tunnel Caves with air locks - just dig out caves. Have you ever been in a wine cave? Quite nice. Venturing out and observation areas can easily be added.
TBC - The Boring Company - Boing tunnels into hills and mountains to make a city. Elon's company wins trip to Moon and Mars.
there are already plenty of lava tubes, they "just" need to be coated with something to make them air tight, then pressurized and sealed, etc.
I would definitely prefer to live in balloon caves. But the inflatable habitats should be built by Bigelow Aerospace. It is the only company that have gone through actual space testing of their inflatable habitats. And they provide super protection from the dangers of outer space. Let alone martian surface. Add a printable outer 'solid rock' shell and you have very safe place for humans to live.
Melting Regolith takes a lot of energy, so if this is powered by a solar farm, it will take years for robots to build a single cupola. This might be okay, but it is not fast. Better find a natural cave or lavatube. Did the numbers: 1 kg of lava at 950C contains 795kJ. Sun's intensity on Mars is almost half that of on Earth. So an on Earth 10kW installed power solar farm, will produce 30kWh per day. that is 135 kg artificial lava per day or 44L. This means that only one of the strips laid down by the robots in the video will be possible per day. So this is definitely going to require nuclear power.
@@Tore_Lund you're right
There need to be interconnecting tunnels between every habitat. You don't want to don a space suit to pop next door for a cuppa. Having a circular tunnel with carriages belting round on tracks could provide 1g artificial gravity to enable returning to Earth after a long stay. 3d printing wall panels and arches would be possible, with additional layers on top to keep the dust out.
I think this is why musk is making the boring company. Those machines would fit into a starship I believe
thanks for your interesting news and for your humour
I didn't know that thanks
Would be cool to get updates on how scientists envision life for an average martian colonist. What “basic” skills would be required of them to successfully maintain a living?
well after they contract alzhiemers, they will then go blind and then die because of massive radiation damage to the brain and eyes.
G'day,
Well Pilgrim, no ACTUAL Scientists are in any position to suggest what a day in the life of "an average Martian Colon-ist", because the last time Humans attempted to build a Biosphere within which all Air, Water, and Food was contained and fully recycled..., in the 1990s "Biosphere -2" Experiment, it took less than 12 hours after being sealed-in that Oxyen levels had dropped by 30% and an Emergfncy Convoy of Trucks of Liquid Oxygen had to be set up...
Because no allowance had been made for the Oxygen consumption of the Soil Bacteria.
So they replaced all the good Topsoil with almost sterile Sand from the Desert, and the crew (of 10 or 12, if I recall correctly) were able to just barely stay alive and supply themselves with Food and Water and breathable Air.
But they had lots of interpersonal drama and dominance dynamics shitfights, I think one or two of the Crew mutinied and quit early.
After a year they all gave up.
The Rocket Nerds and Space Cadets are reluctant to admit it, but no Ecologist or Biologist or Doctor or Nurse has any faintest Clue as to how any of the Elonites expect to "live on Mars".
The whole project is as unachievable as Hyperloops, or Electric Semi-Trailers carrying Emissions-free Freight.
Such is life, in Reality.
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
@@WarblesOnALot Well aren't we the cynical one. None of the problems you outlined are unsolvable. For starters 'Biosphere -2 Experiment was an experiment to identify what kinds of problems might arise. It unjustifiably got bad press and external management issues arose later in the project. Unsurprisingly, Steve (scumbag) Bannon the fraud and conman was involved with some of the financial management failures. Yes, they did have some technical problems, and interrelationship problems between the crew of 'Biospherians', but that's what experiments are meant to reveal. The fact is, some very useful science did come out of the project, and continues to do so to this day under the management of the University of Arizona.
I suggest you read the wikipedia page for the facts.
@@jebes909090
Mr. Jebes ,
That is not going to happen ; Mars is riddled with cliff-side caves , lava-tubes , and giant-overhangs .
Any of these would provide tremendous protection against endemic radiation , especially if coupled with the state-sized fossil magnetic-fields located within the southern hemisphere .
*.Video of one in link below :
^ ua-cam.com/video/Ju7TsS5_50c/v-deo.html
@@Prof.Megamind.thinks.about.it. you're talking about a far more advanced colony then this is going to be. sure if you hide underground you'll be protected, but how exactly are they just going to land and setup an underground base? They dont even have an underground base in antarctica and mars is FAAAR more hostile and harder to get thing to then there.
plus the amount of radiation damage they will get just on the way to mars may actually kill them.
I'd prefer the underground option
Cool video. keep in mind that "plasma" is different from "blood." the blood is removed from the patient, spun down, and the red blood cells are re-infused into the patient again, leaving the "serum / plasma" to be added to the concrete. You can donate plasma quite frequently as you are keeping your red blood cells...
The benefit of the balloon habitat is that the shell would be completed before humans arrived.
I like the idea of the Astrocrete though.
The guy narrating this is a comic genius. Thank you good brother.
I think we'll need to arrive with the machines and build the houses ourselves.
I agree
how many Airstream can we fit in a starship?
@@ne1cup probably three or four
Heres my idea,
Using area size inflatable plastics bags, form a sealed envelope.
Next put 4 inches of spray foam over it for structure, airtightness, and insulation.
Then bury it under 1.5 feet of soil, Use 2 doors, opposite ends, for safety.
One end connected as a hallway between a row of shelters,
The other having a airlock to out side. Air proof doors everywhere practical.
Having multiple shelters insures redundancy if there is a failure. Next start building agricultural
shelters. Shelters with LED lights and shelves for growing plants for food and for oxygen production.
The explorers need work. Agriculture and Building shelters and discovery should be their occupation.
In future time, native iron and silicon will give way to steel and glass production. Nuclear power plants will be necessary to accomplish all this. Then cities of iron and glass should proliferate. The moon becomes a first stop to Mars, Mars the future gate way to deep space. An outer-space economy developes.
It would be easier to build a different structure than what I see on this vid. Stainless, aluminum and carbon fiber. Toss in some rocks that don't contain perchlorate. Cover over the habs with Mars regolith. The rocks inside could be worked to make items. The dust and pieces left over from milling could be introduced into soil for more organic soil for crops.
That would require huge amount of materials this is built out of Mars dirt... long-term that would change after you get mining Industries
@@bradhaaf4749 Building out of Martian regolith might not last. The extreme temperature changes would cause cracks, sooner or later. Stainless outer shell is stable. Covered over with regolith makes temperature changes gradually. Protect from radiation, micro meteorites, and acts as an insulating layer.
So what are you qualifications to be an astronaut?
“I pee and crap a lot”
Ok your hired.
but do you bleed?
Hemophiliacs encouraged to apply.
Awesome narration
A building on mars built out of sweat,blood,pee and tears sounds like a palace of pain and suffering D:
literally
Researchers from Northwestern University have developed a structural material, called sulfur concrete, that is based entirely on raw materials that are abundant on Mars. In combination with 3d printing devices, using existing lava tubes and natural caves or send a few machine from The Boring Company will be the most practical solution for habitats at Mars. We must learn how to live from martian resources
will we have iron ore there?
@@ne1cup we Don't know Yet. But Mars it's relativily clóset to asteroid ring
Good one! Sounding better all the time, this Mars colony thingy. So, if we need a lot of pee to build concrete like habitats/dwellings on Mars, we'll obviously need to have a lot of beer there too!! We can get that by frequenting the Mars Bars! :D
definitely the urine mixture sounds feasible. Strength and stability of dwellings is a must. The radiation factor is most concerning to me. If Mars is able to create its own magnetic fields, the whole project is probably achievable.
At last a realistic vídeo about Mart colonization of SpaceX
Residential housing will be cool for this
I actually heard about a huge centrifuge settlement (so like a spinning donut where you can build stuff on) to contrast the lack of gravity
The fungus house! 😁
Very interesting video, thanks for making it :)
Wasn’t the tunnel idea already a pretty realistic one?
Costly but yes; practical, if that is what you mean by the overused term "realistic."
@@linyenchin6773 I think early on in the colonization process it makes sense to build the safest and most reliable habitats. When a small semi- self sufficient colony is established, more research can be done into bringing costs down and getting more creative with habitat design ideas. In the beginning, though, safety and reliability should trump all else.
@@andrew6846 provided mankind as a whole was fully supporting the effort, unfortunately; not even a 10th of a percent of the U.S government's annual budget will be allocated to space infrastructure as a whipe, much less for mars colonization effort.
Since private companies(minus the chinese) are the catalyst or starting point of Mars colonization; cost effectiveness is always the priority.
@@linyenchin6773 Yes, the private industrial sector is always involved, as contractors; no skills or manufacturing infrastructures, other than procurers, in the government per se. Apollo relied on contractors nationwide, maybe 350,000 people working on the moon project at its height in the late sixties, everything from building the big F1 engines for Saturn V boosters, to little old ladies sewing up the space suits. Cute interview of the latter: Lady said: "even if it were my son going, I'd be just as careful with my stitching"!! Ouch! :D
I'll take the balloon cave... Thank you very much!
Lets just combine them all. What could go wrong? This won't turn into some kind of Akira incident, would it?
Super magnet in a Lagrange point
It sounds like we are really going green on mars. The rent also sounds much cheaper
4:42: That is good design but only on Wax Doll Uranus. The dark Scandinavian design floor board got popular. I got some installed in my bathroom. Can’t complain not bad.
Of those three, Id choose the first. But ditch the bubble. Any slight movement or vibration is going to cause chaffing between the two materials, and over time its going to burst your bubble....
Just 3d print the structure as suggested, and in one of the first couple cargo flights, include the airlocks and any window like structures you want. Setting them securely with your marscrete from the inside during the robotic/automated construction process.
When the meat bags arrive later, there are seal'ed up ready to fill structures.
I would prefer the balloon in a cave but the Mars Insitu Habitat Contest I thought had better ideas. I think Penn state came in 2nd place. There's also a company in one of the Netherlands making a compact habitat that was also pretty cool.
I will bing my Airstream ...
@@ne1cup Where ya gonna park🤣?
I just binged 8 of your videos! I'm considering to start a YT channel about space exploration in Spanish! We need more scientists
Hi Mate I would stick with the balloon cave and regolith
The concept of the bubble type habitat is the best approach,especially if the material is graphene. It gas all the properties required for such strength to weight factors. With the ability to not be affected by any type of of ionizing radiation, and can be used to create photovoltaic power generation. Plus it is clear so there can be the psychological aspect of freedom as outdoors on Earth.
One of the best resources for creating graphene is recycled polystyrene. So if Elon Musk considers it, there could be a reason to recycle all the polystyrene plastics currently filling solid waste dumps. A win-win. Another lightweight exceptionally strong material is artificial spider silk, which could be used in many applications including being an additional layered support in a bubble enclosure together, such layers easily contain a suitable pressurized atmosphere, thereby relieving the human population of using biological waste for anything other than creating a nitrogenous base for agriculture and the separation of urine to base components including pure water and urea, a basic component of very strong adhesives..
LOL this Narrator is sooo funnny "this fugus stool will be in my nightmares forever"
This is the best channel on UA-cam
pee forms part of the water cycle for the survivors on mars. Can't use it to make mud castles and make water from it at the same time. Also the amount of "soil" on mars is a good question, since much of the surface looks like a bed of fractured lava rock with a thin, wind-swept, upper layer of sand. I surmise that if you cannot find dunes, collecting enough sand to make mud castles will be a serious problem.
A informative housing. 👌 I would suggest first to use the human waste as bio gas, compost for growing food plants and micro organisms in soil. The housing must be more on utilising the utility waste after using in mars mixing with Martian soil. The cave design will help reduce steel with synchronising the wind force.
That's not a bad idea
Mars is not an "extra terrestrial planet" though, it's one of the four "terrestrial" planets.
Plasterers long ago used to urinate on the putty to delay drying and ensure that it increased in hardness after drying, I did it my self and it woks
The "Blood and urine" based construction reminded me of termite colonies, built from dirt and the feces of the insect inhabitants. It certainly is a millions-of-years-old solution, with our insect pioneers showing us the proof of concept!
starting out the balloon home to home made cave homes you could work under and outside at the same time and keep improving.
"Sir, your house stinks." The one thing sci fi writers never considered in the past.
6:00 Telvanni House enjoyers be like
I think in order for humans to successfully growing another planet claustrophobia will probably become the biggest issueand I think a good way to solve that is to make the astronauts helmets so you have visibility all the way around front back front back side up down left rightas well as the ability to move freely outside of a suit somehow. And to have physical interactions with humans. I think over the Long haul these two things wood produces some of the better results for a lasting presence on Mars.
Other approach: send few Starships with horizontal landing system, then cover them with regolith and transform methane tanks into living or working space.
Yes indeed. Wouldn't even have to place them horizontally. Put a circle of 9 to 12 Starships and mate them through tunnels at floor levels. Ground floor - life support. 1st floor - mudroom. 2nd floor - workspace. 3rd floor - habitat. 4th floor - bedrooms.
Send up a couple of tunneling machines like the ones used to create the Chaannel Tunnel, the stuff that gets dug out caan be sorted to extract the materials that are useful and the rest of the rock and dirt can be mixed with Epoxy Resin to create a kind of Marscrete that will be formed into the tunnel liners. Then just make the machines do large concentric donuts undergruond and the humans can then use smaller mining machines to dig out the rooms between the tunnels, airlocks and other such requirements can be shipped up initially but eventually the materials being dig out can be processed into raw materials for the airlocks and other stuff. Yes it's a bit vague but the whole thing will rely on getting a couple of autonomous tunneling machines to mars first before any humans get there or non autonomous ones when the first humans arrive, they can live in the starship for a few weeks while the tunnels get started and can then move into them once the first liners are in place.
We will fix in time we know what to do
Use CAS-9 CRISPR technology to sequence the gene in hagfish mucus production. The slime is incredibly thick, with incredible viscosity while retaining elasticity. The gene could be manipulated in the lab to create a bio polymer
I wonder how that would work due to the varying gravitational constants throughout the planets in our solar system. How would the new gravitational system affect construction? It's very intriguing.
We should just do like NORAD and build a giant bunker inside of a mountain like Olympus Mons.
WE are going to create an Atmosphere
The 3D printing housing is a good idea and I can see the possibilities with the fungus but I don't know about the urine but it could work I don't know
Inconceivable to imagen, mheh, yet body fluid can go through a series of recycle filter process to become supplies of energy as recycled-consumption, the way living creatures genetically discovered those use, in natural endurance conducts of *long season hybornation*
Be happy they didn't discover a viable Martian building material called "ex-crete". It would give a whole new meaning to the saying "shitting bricks".
@@skateboardingjesus4006 😄 hahaha true that's true
@@ckdigitaltheqof6th210 that's interesting
3:10: That is Dark Saturn 🪐
The blood and pee apartment kinda cool, it's like imitating a some type of insects civilization.
right, but the good news is you'll not be likely to have any living with you, like cockroaches, in your apartment!! :D
Better idea!
Lava tube caves already exist on Mars. We would only need to bring the inflatable bubbles… problem solved.
lmao I can tell you love total recal the original. I did too. Totally unrealistic though lol but its fun.
i dont like the sound of inflatable , but a 3D printed shell sounds ace .
also thinking they should mix 3D printing idea with a solid built base (not inflatable) , best of both then. you can still have windows to see out but without the worry of your house popping
The 3d printed mixture shown in the thumbnail used plastic that will quickly degrade in radiation, and requires those plastics be brought from earth since there is no way to produce them on Mars.
It's an okay concept, using a 3d printer to create dwellings, but we aren't even close to having the materials knowledge and we're almost certainly going to need to haul a large amounts of the building materials from earth, and they are going to be very heavy.
If Martian dust can be used to create a material several times stronger than concrete, that might just be a source of income for the Martian colony and enable actual trade between Earth and Mars.
Mars will be shipping Gold Bricks
What happened to customizing the volcano tubes
i say connect starships together on mars, empty out the fuel lay them down on their side and use them. each starship alone is like a small building.
I heard that Children's tears work the best.
There was one at Cambridge that behaved this way. He was always saying someone was trying to steal his math but his math made no sense at all.
Blood plasma this is madness
00:01 have we? Do we know how to land Starhip on Mars? I mean the Starship which, despite the present tense in this video, does NOT have the cargo capacity of 100 mt. Or the ability to fly into orbit, let alone to Mars. It is PLANNED to have those one day.
They have serious difficulties landing the empty, light, new, slow ship in our dense atmoshpere.
there is no way they can land a heavy, used, crazy fast ship in the rare atmosphere on Mars.
if Starship is not the new hyperloop vapour ware, it is decades in the future. IF.
I know it will probably not go to mars 2024, but it is so far in development that it will probably be used in the 2030s
Or fungus cave( sounds awesome
Interesting presentation. However, Mars rovers have discovered the Martian soil contains perchlorates in concentrations between 0.5% and 1.0%. These are very high levels and are dangerous to humans. Before any of these proposed methods using Martian soil are considered, a solution must be found to remove the perchlorates from human exposure.
True
I actually think making homes out of the Martian material is a much cooler idea than bringing a bunch of steel from Earth
I think it has to be 3D Printing as that's the only thing for Certain we can do with just Robots ahead of Humans Landing there Works for me
Since the situations and dangers we need to overcome are more difficult on the moon and that we will be going there first. Our concentration and research should begin there.
and we need to nuke the Marian pole first
Marshome! Like masrum!
You can speak of we. I am staying right here on earth.
10:31: This was by Berkeley too.
The blood a pee apartment 🤣 Omygosh 😂
A vampire would love the blood & pee apt. Especially working in the blood extraction clinic. Lol. So line up potential employees.
Now you know what happened to the Marduros and the question is who did that to them.
All entry points must have a sophisticated quarantine and wash area to remove all dirts and the unknowns. A few damaging micro/nano organisms could cause a major outbreak in any colony that would be established on Mars.
In Stargate Atlantis, the Wraith ships were made of organic material. Never thought we would be building houses that way LOL
Does the idea of blood being used as part of a building material remind anyone of Doom & Doom:Eternal? Considering it was scientists who were trying to open a portal to hell on Mars using blood magic/argent energy.
Not to mention how much a ticket will cost, there and back, and who they will let go, and why, people seem to gloss over that point.
Robert Zubrin says the first to go will have to be as smart as Spock and as inventive and resourceful as Scotty. Very few of those "candidates" out there I bet!! ;D
3D printing ofc
Yes it is so necessary my friend mister apparao also purchased five hundred square feet of land to built an àpartment containing ten plots on Mars. Just for rent purpoe only. Down floor left for shopping complex no need ovf parking place. Abundant place is there for free parking
2:02: The new one would look like that. We’ve got the raw material. Who’s picking up and making it? Mars?
Minus 63 Celsius. That’s not bad, just send Canadians.
Invest in a 3d machine to build station suitable for human access is the start
Fungus, space colonies essential🌱
They will have to be underground because of radiation. I think they will make use of pre existing martian tunnel systems, seal them off, and pump them with air. And slowly build cities in these vast tunnel networks, which will be connected by underground hyperloops to other underground caves and tunnel systems on the planet. They will have to use nuclear and geothermal power, and be good at drilling.
The polyurethane used in the 3d printed house shown is not even slightly radiation resistant, it would fall apart, and is not available on Mars anyways.
No matter what a mars colony is going to require some extremely heavy equipment for manufacturing or tunneling, and we can't run those things autonomously yet.
I'll go with the tunnels.
All the comments being serious, and I just keep thinking "Mushroom houses Vs turtles? Mushroom bricks that your plumbing makes grow?" And now I want to play Super Mario Bros 3.
Obviously the 3D printed cave is better, but now I just really want to go to Mars and build the Mushroom Kingdom.
Sounds like a job for Boring. Tunnel into hillside using tails for air less a create to make most of outer seal and inner everything. Take camping gear. Basically turning initial missions into Survival Hikes.
People will need to be rotated to maintain Sanity.
Gotta love Auto-correct..
Yes, I knew someone here would say something "totally boring"!! And oh yes, Tilt-A-Whirls on Mars. Cool!! :D
We will be living underground if we ever decide to go to Mars. Living underground would be the safest and cheapest way for us to live there.
1:10: This is Mara carbon
Blood for the blood God!
Pee for the pee throne!
- Khorne, circa 21K
The 3D printing domes are clearly the winners, to build houses from pee and blood is not practical specially when pee should be recycle ♻️ for water use or fertilizer and the mushroom idea have room to improve for being more effective and esthetic
I wouldn't mind living in a home where the concrete was made using blood, pee, and tears. Although, the home with the outside fungi layer would be the best choice for building on the surface of Mars.
I don’t know, maybe build one functioning closed loop system here on Earth before trying it millions of miles away? Since Spacex could start developing this critical component of the project today, it’s kind of curious that they haven’t.
The radiation problem is a big one and who wants to live underground.
I like the first one of your chosen options but,
Elon's Boring company Boring machine adapted for the purpose could build underground facilities and the extracted dirt could be used as building materials
The dome City is also good and with 1000's of starships and counting and space habitat(s) including. O'NEIL cylinder(s) for farming & agriculture etc as backup and a moon base on one of MARS moons;
This being in addition Earth space Habitat(s) & Base(s)!
Even though that they will pressurize the buildings, there still is not enough gravity and anyone there will have bone problems as time goes by. You also would have to be mostly inside or wear pressurized suits. It would be a terrible way to live. The only way to make it earth like, is a very big job that would take a log time to complete. But it can be done,
