- What The First Year In A Lunar Colony Will Be Like.. We know NASA is planning a trip back to the moon in the next few years with the Artemis missions but once we get there what will it be like to live on the moon? We take a look at what the first year on the moon would look like for a Lunar colony.

Seeing lights on the moon would really be something
Yes and if we would be able to see it it would only be on the shadowed part which would look cool!
Or when the moon is only getting light on the sides
Can't argue with that!
Mankind's curiosity is second to none. I really hope that to see multiple moon colonys some day. It would be like living in a real life science fiction movie/book.
Who does mankind compete with? 😁

I never thought about the sun reflecting towers than can simulate the day cycle over the colony. That’s definitely going to be one of the first things to achieve and it will be awesome to see
A great way to sublime all that ice that you moved into the crater to take advantage of.
That sun a beast boi
Speaking as a submariner, that has gone just short of three months with no sun, the sun is over rated, for visuals. You do not need it.
Same, never thought of the idea, but I love it. Sun reflecting towers can serve so many purposes, they are a must on a lunar colony.
Yes, it's brilliant, and it would be awesome.
2:36 personally I think as long as its more than 5 people, those people have 24/7 virtual contact to earth, and have hope of returning to earth safely, that group of astronauts could survive well over a year without going insane. Assuming they can get along with each other.
Ever see 5+ people quarantined in a small space for extended periods? Then expect them to keep up an Olympic level workout routine. Now you want them to be miners and farmers in a colony too. Humans get pretty crazy, there's reasons astronauts are so highly selected, the chances of getting a optimal long term crew are astronomical
They're already doing it on the space station. Properly vetted and trained personnel are the only people who get past the launch pad.
@@indianabones7482 Mining and external constructions activities will actually lesson the effects of cabin fever and close quarters. Being able to go "outside" and the increased gravity on the moon will allow astronauts to remain on the moon up to 4 times as long as a tour on the International Space station, which is currently about 6 months. I would expect to see 3 crew members on the moon, with another 2 remaining in orbit for each mission, during the first decade or so. With each crew member spending up to 2 years at a time there once the life support systems and power plants are fully worked out.
@@indianabones7482 bah submarines are not science fiction.. at first they had a full 06 medical .. real doctor high rank "captain" but over time they have come to see how remarkable REMARKABLY adaptive humans are.. now they have a lowly e6 enlisted not even highest pay grade as the medical on a submarine. a year is easy.. subs routinely do it over months at a time.. and to be frank i think the space guys will have it EASY compared to the sub guys. ie more time for leisure activities. not to mention relationships will be allowed whereas they are not allowed on submarines. these are groups of 100-160 guys stuck in a tube for months at a time. with less personal space than us prisons.
btw you dont need to see the sun for sanity.. a nice lamp is just as good unless your planning a day at the beach. ask any submariner.
If Starship is fully reusable they could be getting new shipments every month. If not faster.
It'd be like living on a submarine, which is pretty awful tbh heh. But the fact that you could "rotate" back to Earth every month would make it viable. I personally feel like we shouldn't leave people in space nearly that long anymore, you can do 90 days and come back. The multiple year thing isn't going to work or will be a one way trip.
Way faster, the turn around for one to the moon and back would be a bit over 1 week. Multiple ships in service would mean constant supply or transport
I don't know why they wouldn't want to do daily flights to a Moon base once it's operational. Initially a lot of supply starships will be needed to get stuff there. Once the 3-D printers get operational, equipment won't be needed as much as supplies, but it will take a lot of robots and people to build everything that needs to be built. I expect people will mostly stay underground or under domes, but cameras could be used to transfer the outside view of Earth to the dome.
It's all about how much money is available for investment, and how many nations get on board. If it's just one base for science, once every other week would be sufficient. If you have dozens of nations doing mining and manufacturing, there will be bases spread out for over a wide area with tunnels connecting everything, and constant trips in both directions.
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress ??
The whole idea with a permanent moon base requiring local water/oxygen/power is precisely because of the long tours that will be required due to the logistics of distance and the cost to cover it. Maybe someday monthly missions will be affordable but that's 20-30 years after the first base if fully functional and supplied by it's power/water/oxygen. When we reach that point, the Moon will feel like our back porch, a stepping stone to the furthest human outposts from home. We'll only stop there to pickup passengers waiting to come home or go further. Until then, every gasp of air, every sip of water, every spark of electricity will be measured and accounted for and be used in the planning for the next phase... Whatever that may be. Amazing time to be alive!
Unlike a Martian colony, which would cost trillions and decades of research and construction, a lunar colony would be much more prone to updates, changes, etc. Earth is constantly in contact and only 3 days away. Problems that would be fatal on Mars might be an inconvenience. The first goal of lunar settlers is to derive oxygen and other useful products from the surface, as well as once and for all determining what to do with the lunar 'soil', so useful and harmful at one and the same time.
Lunar and asteroid mining could pay for Martian colonization. After the Moon, Mars is next.
Venus is better
Why would a Martian colony costs trillions if we use Mars Direct (projected cost without Starship = $150 Billion), ISRU & Starship?!?
@@TraditionalAnglican If we wanted to expand it with many more projects and different habitat modules, the cost could very well tip over into the trillions
I agree with the Martian comparison. I'm excited by the concept of crewed missions to Mars and Elon's obsession with making as much progress as possible in his lifetime seems to be driving the development of some of the fundamental stepping stones required, e.g. getting costs to LEO down, faster than might otherwise be happening. I do however think that it would be verging in criminally irresponsible to attempt to send people to Mars before the technologies for such long-duration stays have been thoroughly tested on the Moon.
A great way to mitigate the risks of radiation and lower gravity on Mars would be a lead lined compression suit worn inside and outside.
The Martian colonists would feel like they were normal weight, feel Earth like pressure and have an extra layer of protection from solar radiation.
… this is something that they could trial with the Lunar colony.
What about face?
I think the key to not going mad is actually to have a colony large enough that there are enough people where there are plenty of strangers in your day to day life. They say we can accommodate around 150 people on average as 'friends'. So say a colony of 500+ people?
You have minimum requirements that would very depending on how long each team is going to be there (probably 12 for the moon & 48 for Mars) and then how many would be needed in each “small town” (500-1000) if we’re doing colonization, mining & manufacturing (which would require more for an independent colony). Teams working on the moon can cycle back every month to 3 months, while those on Mars are going to be there for 18 months or more.
how about a bunch of people that have woken up aka they can be alone with no ''need'' to bother the others for treatment.
As meteor crater in Arizona shows, there is NOT likely to be meteorites in large crater bottoms. They vaporize on impact and disperse over wide areas as small fragments. An example of how far they disperse is illustrated by the rays of the crater tycho.
I never knew there were such extreme temperature swings on the moon.. Always thought of it as a frigid, bone-dry harsh place. With full range radiation from the sun..
Yes, that full range radiation is what causes the huge heat spikes in direct sunlight without the protection of our atmosphere.
Then in the shadow because there's no atmosphere to hold heat it gets extremely chilly, you would definitely need to put on some socks 🧦
It is likely that sometime in the first decade, at least one person in the lunar settlement(s) will suffer a health problem that makes it impossible foe them to survive return to Earth. This may become the beginning of true permanent habitation.
I don't think I'll see a colony on the moon. But I think my kids will. And that's exciting. Excellent video.
It depends on how old you are and what you consider a “colony”. There Will probably be a moon base manned by humans for an extend period of time (weeks or months) before 2030. More permanent settlements/ moon port will develop after
@@lanceanthony198 I doubt it very much.
I reposted a UA-cam video on facebook yesterday whose content was man isn't made for space travel. Now Elon Musk may prove it wrong but the idea of zooming around the cosmos in a big tin can like Star Trek seems impractical. You couldn't know where you were going or what you would collide with.
@@leonardgibney2997 Issac Arthur did a video on how to colonization of space at 1% light speed or less.With fusion powered engines etc you could get up to 10% light speed,maybe later next century.Nuke engines would get us around most of our solar system alright.
@@terryharris1291 I'm afraid it's a case of seeing is believing for me. I've never believed in manned space flight. We're too puny, not made for it. Everything l hear about the cosmos tells me, "stay away".
This video is exactly the way I would work toward colonizing the moon. From the experience I would then be able to make corrections to work our way to Mars.
I can't imagine how great and also weird it will be the first time I drink water "from space" that comes from asteroids...Even if it's just technically water 😄😄
Imagine if we lived in a world without SpaceX. All these possibilities would still be in the realm of science fiction. Starship is a true game changer
To be perfectly clear, this is all science fiction.
I'm pretty sure nasa would still be ok without SpaceX. Spacex isn't the only private contractor nasa uses and imo while the reusable rockets are great Nasa is good because it's not a private company
spacex and elon musk are still filled with a lot of shit ideas, starship earth to earth is the most dumb idea ive ever heard, strapped fuckin real untrained humans on a hypersonic rocket? Elon Musk's Hyperloop is also crap, Just watch some of Adam Something's videos on elon musk. colonising mars is also a stupid idea
If nasa gave up on their stupid cost plus contracts they would be so much more competitive. SpaceX may not even be necessary
@@thomasjones4893 Better to use the word "stupid," carefully, as sometimes it removes all doubt about the user. The US Government rarely, if ever, issues fixed cost contracts, including to SpaceX. The space industry has too many new technologies and development costs to to make fixed cost contracts feasible. Also fixed cost contracts are not any "more competitive," since there is generally a higher profit for the contractor once all the claims are settled.
So exciting, I'm 69, I've been interested in NASA and now SpaceX since 1969, although 20 more years is a long time to wait but I guess I just should have been born later, so much more to come
It's really 6 astronauts who died to put us on the Moon. Clifton Williams also died in an Apollo training accident. As well Charles Bassets and Elliot See died in a Gemini training accident and Project Gemini was for all intents and purposes part of Apollo.
* Williams died piloting a T-38 to visit his parents.
* Bassett and See died in another T-38 crash while flying to St. Louis to train in a Gemini simulator.
* Thomas Freeman died in another T-38 crash, apparently caused by a bird strike, while flying back to Houston from training in St. Louis.
It is absurd to attribute these death to Apollo, especially since Gemini was definitely not part of Apollo. If an astronaut had been hit by a bus while walking to work, would you attribute that to Apollo? Do you also count Michael Adams' death, who died in an X-15 crash, as Apollo-related?
@@michaelsommers2356 No it's not. Astronauts are pilots they need to maintain enough flight hours to keep their active flight status. So NASA has them fly T-38s as part of their training. When astronauts travel they often fly the T-38s as means of satisfying these requirements while conducting necessary travel. Those astronaut were piloting NASA aircraft fulfilling NASA required flight hours for astronauts in the Gemini and Apollo programs.
...The entire purpose of Gemini was to figure out how to physically do things necessary to achieve President Kennedy's stated goal of landing a man on moon within the decade. Without the RD missions conducted in Gemini Apollo would have never gotten off the ground. Pretty much the only reason Gemini was not included officially as part of Apollo is NASA figured some of the Gemini mission were going to get astronauts killed and they didn't Apollo jeopardized by those deaths so they created Gemini....A wise decision cuz all of Gemini missions had close calls and with many it's an absolute miracle everyone didn't die.
In any case as Gemini transitioned in to Apollo Gemini Astronauts became Apollo Astronauts cuz both programs were part of our effort to land on the moon.
@@THX..1138 Gemini, and Mercury before it, were part of the effort to go to the Moon. So was, more broadly, the X-15. That does not make those projects part of Project Apollo. Both Operations Husky and Overlord were part of the effort to defeat Germany. That doesn't mean that either was part of the other.
Regarding the astronaut deaths, is it your position that anyone working at NASA who died while traveling "died to put us on the Moon"?
@@michaelsommers2356 No you are wrong... X15 had nothing to do with Apollo and was primarily high speed aircraft research conducted by the US Air Force. Mercury predates America having any intention of going to the moon. The goal of Mercury was to put a man in orbit.
...On the other hand Gemini came after and as a direct result of Kennedy announcing America's intention to put man on the Moon.
C/P from Wikipedia "Gemini's objective was the development of space travel techniques to support the Apollo mission to land astronauts on the Moon."
So the Astronauts of Gemini were in fact risking their lives with the direct goal to put men on the Moon.
Getting to fly a T-38 is not perk of being in the astronaut training. It cost the taxpayer about $3,000 (in today's dollars) per flight hour to operate them. Flying the T-38 then as now is a required part of NASA astronaut training.
Clifton Williams, Charles Bassets and Elliot See were all NASA astronauts killed while conducting required training hours in T-38 jets as part of the Gemini and Apollo programs efforts to put man on the moon. They deserve as much recognition as Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. All 6 died as a direct result of America's effort to put man on the Moon.
@@THX..1138 By the standard you stated, the X-15 was part of NASA's space program, therefore part of Apollo.
You count Bassett (not Bassets), See, and Williams, but not Freeman. Double standard.
NASA actually has made it clear that they intend to stay on the moon with the Artemis program, based on the videos they have on their youtube channel
I wonder if anyone tried designing a space suit that has built in movement resistance. Just enough resistance to exercise the body during every day tasks
Probably best not to. When working in the field you don't want to also be "working out". Just makes all your jobs more difficult. Better to just have dedicated time to work out safely, while not in the field.
that would be a good idea IF.. you could control the resistance.. from zero in emergencies to whatever simulates a good workout on earth.
@@niceengine2571 um may be reglar daily movement should be really good base
Im like "they got mad after two years? man, i've been isolated in my apartment for 5 years only going out for groceries and doctors appointments, and im happy as a ... idk someone happy." Dont have any friends, and the only social interactions i have is through games with random people.
I would think that these individuals who were sent in there was mad to begin with, and most likely highly extroverted. Most people these days dont really have any hobbies, other than sitting on social media comparing themself to other people, or taking photos of their food and pets. And most people are mentally challenged, when it comes to being alone or secluded from their social circles. Our society is built so that extroverted people can climb the social hierarchy of a company, where introverted who is far better at their work, becomes stationary in their career.
What im trying to say is that the people who decides who goes to the moon, and the people being sent to the moon are most likely extroverted, and has a higher chance of failing because they're not mentally capable in terms of the psychological strain of being alone. They may be highly educated and a high iq, but what does that mean if they end up clawing their eyes out or sabotaging the base just to go home earlier then planned. Or the most popular option to create drama for no reason.
Jobs like these are for the introverted people, which in most cases are the most reliable to begin with when it comes to education and making decisions based on their current situation.
Maybe my opinion is based on biased research or im just generally dumb and dont see things for how they really are, so feel free to enlighten me.
So true !
Well pointed out.
The use of gravity on the moon to keep physically fit would easily be served by creating a full body suit consisting of weighted footwear as well as a weighted full body suit worn inside of the habitat while using a more conventional lunar excursion suit for outside of the habitat. You cannot do that m a microgravity environment like the one on the international space station. In a low gravity environment such as the moon it would be possible to fill out the remaining mass of your earth weight using this weighted suit design and yet design it in such a way that when you move your mobility is not impaired and your movement would be the equivalent of one gravity.
I had thought of a great way to mitigate the risks of radiation on Mars and lower gravity … a lead lined compression suit worn inside and outside.
The Martian colonists would feel like they were normal weight, feel Earth like pressure and have an extra layer of protection from solar radiation.
… this is something that they could trial with the Lunar colonists.
Just have magnetic floors and steel soles on the shoes/boots. Simple.
I like how you laid out the moon situation. Especially the reflective sun tower/communication antennae, Brilliant! And the lava tunnels are a great place to avoid the radiation! Plus they should scout out 3 alternate locations and stock them with oxygen or some form of livable habitat, Plus if they can build a small centrifuge on the surface of the moon to be enclosed with air and powered by solar energy they could replicate earths gravity or as close to it as possible to sleep in at night and reduce the exhausting physical workouts to keep bone mass. They could use that time to explore and experiment and build satellites on the moon for early warning signs of asteroids or comet threats to earth or the moon and a relay station for mars in the future. Just some thoughts I had on this . Thanks for all you do and the hard work you put in to do this site.
Coriolis effect would make you sick.
The writing / narration is lucid / superb sir! Very engaging presentation.
This was fantastic, thanks.
so much is dependent on spacex starship as the best path
I agree! Good research also
Bro you're totally inside my head and just say it as it is I love it love your work 💪👌👊🙏😎
Interesting Subject Thanks for Update
I think it is a FANTASTIC STEP and the Idea is fantastic actually.
The low time delay is also a big psychological plus as it allows for practical realtime communications. With mars, any communication will be more like getting a letter from home rather then talking to you wife and kids - A HUGE difference.
The main and likely only reason to go is to make more space exploration easier
The number of people in a research station on the Moon should be at least as many as in an Antarctic research station. Unlike Mars the Moon is close enough to exchange station staff relatively frequently, say every three or six months.
Imagine a massive underground gymnasium setup for training parkour, with increased sizes of everything. That would be so fun to train in. Or a trampoline park with incredibly high ceilings.
a moon base be in your face always even if on the dark side
(rockets are eternal)
Great show
The first task of the colony will be to find a better location for the colony ... we shouldn't assume the first location is the best for the final location for the colony ... so the first colonists's job will be exploring and preping the site
for the million tons of cargo.
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy but because they are hard,"
- John F. Kennedy
Good video
Don't forget to send exercise equipment with friction dynamos included that could add to the energy equation! ;P
The moon will be the training ground for colonizing the rest of the solar system, and beyond.
I want to go
If I was there I wouldn't go insane infact I would love it ,solitude is my friend
You can always phone a friend if you did get lonely.
You won't get solitude. You will be living with a dozen people in a space the size of an apartment.
I think (hope) there might be a couple of areas where you've been overly pessimistic by looking at previous experience. I'm absolutely not saying that either of these issues won't be significant and very important to solve but they might not be quite as challenging as you suggest.
Firstly the psychological issues and your comparison with that disastrous 2-years-in-a-glass-dome experiment. I would hope that by the time we get to permanent bases on the Moon re-usable launch vehicles, probably from more than just SpaceX (e.g. Sierra Space Dream Chaser), will have optimised getting from Earth to LEO so much that the overall cost of getting astronauts to the Moon and back (maybe by transferring to a dedicated Lunar transport in LEO) will have reduced to the level where an ISS-like crew rotation schedule could be affordable so a lunar stay might be more likely to be in the 3-6 month range rather than multi-year stays.
Secondly the heart/health issues. Yes astronauts on the ISS need to exercise 2.5 hours a day for 6 days a week but that is in essentially no gravity. At least the Moon has approx 1/6th Earth gravity to give some extra constant resistance vs the ISS and I wonder if the benefit of that could be amplified by standard Lunar clothing including weighted vests, weighted shoes (and/or ankle weights) plus some sort of weighted splints for the forearms. I'm not saying that would avoid the need for an additional pretty intense exercise regime but even if measures like that could reduce the exercise requirements from 2.5 hours a day to 1.5 hours a day that could be quite a big win for productivity and mental wellbeing.
An underground moon base sounds so cool
Can't wait to see hotels on the moon. Initially only the rich will be able to afford to use them, but as the technology improves, & gets cheaper, it will eventually be a holiday for all. How about getting some TELA robots making lunar structures for us.
Elon Musk could use his boring company to make an "ants nest" type underground hotel, which would be protected from the hazards of the surface. He just needs a SpaceX ship big enough to get one up there.
I'm not looking forward to looking up at the moon and seeing McDonald's signs blinking on and off..,
That will be quite a while though, kinda crazy
@@TimLongson or have his tesla bots build it up there
Let's take the thing that helps balance out our planet start building on it and destroy that too
The best way to fight bone and muscle mass Lost in space is to create a space suit that.. combines springs and basically like a Bowflex.. woven into the lining of the suit that fights you no matter what you're trying to do.. any which way that you could normally move you're fighting resistance.. like rubber bands that go down to your feet that connects your waist.. I made one back in the 90s that want some to pressurize suit.. but it's simulated my 130-lb body at the time making me feel like I weighed 800 lb.. basically if you weigh 200 lb of be like carrying a dumbbell across your shoulders that raise an additional 600 lb.. I figured out on Earth that it was much easier to put 80 lb on each ankle 40 lb on each one of my rist's where vast that has 180 lb of lead weights and then on my belt basically use a scuba divers belt with 120 lb of lead weights.. the fastest route to my upper body the belt the weight belt added weight to my hips 80 lb in each angles to each time I picked up my foot making every step much harder.. course I didn't start off at that level I started off with like two and a half pounds on my wrist 20 lb in each one of my ankles.. you get the idea.. I started off with low weight and eventually I got to a point where I was walking around with just under six hundred pounds of weight on me at all times. And the 90s I was in school and I got a lecture from my gym teacher that kids like me need to workout constantly so we don't end up fat and lazy.. I gave him the finger.. and then told him how I workout everyday all day long. And then right in front of them took off all of my weights.. the funny part is he tried picking them all up and he couldn't.. with all of my weights off I took a basketball and I threw it at the concrete wall about thirty feet away from where I was standing and it popped it blew up... What the weight off I can jump higher I could run faster.. I could punch harder.. adding led to your body on earth works... And space you have to use springs cables and rubber bands.. and it really wouldn't be hard to make a suit like that with today's technology for some reason they just don't..
the modest of opinions thank
Cool.
I cackled at “show the world they could still win at a pissing contest” lmao😂
7:45, yip that works great. Guess that’s why they found miles high towers there decades ago. Mostly on the backside.
One little foothold for some humans, one giant springboard for humankind…?
What’s the best way to word that?
15:15 IDK-available traction will also be much less in 1/6 g.
The ending is one of the reasons ppl fan boy over spacex so hard it’s like we’re living in the dark age of space travel and spacex is the only one promising to do anything at least
Creating something like the AMP suit from avatar could help with exploring the caves
Uh, the polar craters may NOT be such a great place to inhabit. According to some studies, the fact that the solar wind will blow horizontally across the mouths of these craters means the electrons will follow the contour of the crater while the heavier protons continue on a horizontal path, building up dangerous electric potentials inside the craters. Subsurface or heavily regolith-sheltered habitats will be more likely IMO.
I dont get the sun reflecting towers. Wouldnt it be more efficient to just dim lights during the night to simulate? What am i missing?
The lover tubes remind me of the cities on Metaluna ian the movie This Island Earth.
I hears a ration but this beats all i have seen.
why does every simulation build domes or other buildings on the surface? one micro meteorite could destroy an entire habitat, not to mention the heat & UV differentials. build caves into craters for insulation, install easy to replace solar panels on top and have nice holo panels everywhere for a pleasant environmental psychological ambiance. hah literally what you said in fact.
A micrometeor will not destroy an entire hab.. however you are 100% correct that it's silly to expose them to the sky for long periods. Solar panels on surface, habs under ground.
Because egg shape is very very strong
The bio sphere in the 90s was an engineering issue not a psychological issue. They had co2 poisoning from the concrete.
CO2 is not poisonous actually !
A light minute is not a length of time but rather a distance.
First we need a dense web of sati lites that function both as GPS and STAR-LINK and “Spy Satellites”
We will also need GPS beacon stations on the ground so the satellites can figure out where they are
Now we can put rovers on the moon to both 3D map and explore
THEN we can find the place to build Moon Base Alpha but I would recommend putting the base UNDERGROUND by digging into the walls of an crater
I don't think we can.
The moon's gravity is lumpy and their is not a lot of stable orbits.
🔥🔥🔥
The reasons to put a base in a crater are numerous:
1) Possible resources within the crater.
2) Lunar regolith is a cheap and plentiful source of insulation and radiation shielding.
3) Solar panels along the rim could provide power 24/7 as well as sunlight for a day/night cycle.
4) The walls of the crater will provide protection from nearby strikes.
5) Material dug to sink the base can be reused, making construction more efficient.
Lunar dust will reduce solar panel efficiently.
I do appreciate this video and it's very informative and one idea I just thought of is that once we established a colony on the moon could we probably build vehicles that would totally protect people from the radiation when they're on the surface and if they lived in the tubes below the surface that would pretty much eliminate most of their exposure to radiation unless they walked on the surface and hopefully space suits could eventually be designed to totally protect a person from exposure to radiation when walking on the surface. Otherwise I can't imagine convincing a whole lot of people to go work on the moon for mining, etc. knowing they would have a higher chance of developing cancer etc. Because in order to be successful in mining on the moon et cetera you may have to have people living there for longer than just two years, endless robots do all the work on the moon, which is a scary thought.
SpaceX could do or go to the Moon 🌚 and difficulty on Mars Journey. Needed different Engine like nuclear engine or proton engines. High Energy Source more power then Rocket Engine about 5 or 6 time of Rocket Engine or more Engines.
the moon is a lot like training in the bottom of a pool for space and then implementing learning from the moon base to upgrade requirements for mars base imo
You want a good idea how colonizing the moon is like, watch the show ‘For All Mankind’. Really awesome show.
What about making a molten core on Mars. That could make a magnetic field. Also drop a few meteors of ice to make a few lakes. Dropping iron rocks down on Mars first to help the start of teraforming.
8:25 Are there points in which you shouldn't point your receiver too close to the Sun or the Sun blocks a signal?
Robots that can build robots (especislly if they can build robots on the moon) creates an exponential opportunity and changes all the timelines. We're talking about a fully habital, transformed moon, Mars and O'Neill cylinders in as little as 3 years from the first self-replicating bots.
first thing i would do is power production then dig a deep cement bunker.. a safe room. then work on the farm.
I could see moon mines set up by private companies, like you said the lower gravity in mars would be way more efficient, which is a word that big companies love
I thought this video was super interesting. I also think expanding and deepening our country’s effort to see it through might, somehow, show the way for the peaceful exploration of space. They’ll never shrink the pentagon, but maybe Musk and NASA with other partners can build something exciting, something aspirational!!
Well the perfect number? I don't think it would matter as long as you had people that were driven to succeed in building the colony and give them some space apart so they don't rub each other up the wrong way .Which means the primary facility must be large enough to accommodate them all and I'd honestly pick people enjoy there own company rather that people who need to socialize as they will work harder in order to achieve having there own space
The people on the space station basically live on top of each other for 6 months at a time. NASA already knows what they're looking for with regard to people who can cope in a situation like that.
i hope i live long enough to see
The Adventures of Pluto Nash tell me we also need a mob run casino on the moon.
I told my youngest that when she gets married se may be able to have her honeymoon on the moon!
I saw Neil Armstrong step on the moon. I was 12 yrs old. Take ME to the moon!!!
Clothing could have built in resistance that mimics gravity
Rather than spend 2 hours every day in a moongym, it might be worthwhile to make the sleeping quarters into a big spinning bowl to simulate Earth gravity (or higher) with centrifugal force. Then you get 8 hours of exercise while you sleep. Or the moongym could be in a centrifuge to simulate Earth gravity too, for reducing time spent on exercise so that there's more time for science.
Solar isn't the only option for power; thorium is theoretically abundant too.
There will be tipping point where Lunar development becomes exponential driving an expansion of vender involvement further compressing timelines for expansion of Geolife into the Goldilocks Zone guided by our species.
It would be hell some one cought the mico wave in fire which burnt out the food storage unit so now there's an Air leek from the kitchen station so food rations are short there has been a major valcanic eruption in earth so we can't send shuttles for resupply
NASA and spacex needs to get vr working in space because if not astronauts are gonna go mad especially the trip to mars and back to earth
Yes, it's safer not to settle inside a crater, if there's no crater there can't be one in the future.
I think we should create like aquariums in live inside capsules in the aquarium's and the aquariums would have animals from Earth. Water would Shield us from cosmic rays, swimming in water would provide resistance to help keep humans in shape. We can develop robots of course but what about employing intelligent creatures like squids and octopuses to manage the aquarium's? Also we should genetically engineer plants to be able to excrete a shell that lets light through for photosynthesis but yet protects from extreme conditions.
faa needs to hurry up and aprove spacex's starship
It needs to hurry up and ban launches from Boca Chica. Since Musk has ignored all the restrictions that were previously imposed on launches from there, he can be expected to ignore any future restrictions, so launches must be banned.
exactly as Michael Sommers said it.
besides, the F.A.A. is not the biggest hurdle for Starship. Starship is. Even if Space X moved the damn thing outa Boca Chica and lost some time with the move, that delay would be nothing compared to all the tech-related delays they have to expect.
So far the FAA isn't holding up anthing.
@@michaelsommers2356 That is nonsense. Next time try and informed opinion.
@@istvansipos9940 Nonsense.
13:44 Resource Just a heads up. I'd want someone to tell me.
The earth would always remain in the same place in the sky as seen from the moon 🌚 🌎
Although it’s phases would change
An earth biosphere 3 month or longer practice isolation should be a must on all moon colonists.
First of all? I very much enjoy your Chanel, but could you please pronounce the word "resources" correctly? It is not spelled with a "Z" resources, not rezources. Continue your great work.
Ayo while I'm watching this video the live nasa Artemis program is premiering
15:40 my favorite large valuable thing is the planet made of carbon that was under extreme pressure and temp so its now likely a diamond. lol
What ever weight you bring to Earth, bring s equal weight back to Moon. And vice a verses. Need a station or two circling the Moon as emergency life rafts. Nuclear power would be better. Especially if companies start mining there. Excellent training step base. They have some good ideas.
I don't know why lava tubes would be used for anything other than exploring our looking for places to mine. For habitats we should be able to mine out the space for the habitat anywhere on the moon to our exact requirements. Like a human anthill.
11:09 though that was an ad read lol
Space station helping example of ..
I like where u give cybertruck 6x tow capacity, without considering the facts that it will 1.) Also weigh less, effecting its limits, and 2.) It will get less traction in 1/6 gravity... nice try tho
Will probably find ET's in one of those skylights on the Moon 🌚
No.
