    • @jeffvader811
      @jeffvader811 5 років тому +9

      ​@@michael-dm2bv Sorry to burst your bubble but your argument has several gaping holes in it. For one thing, you probably didn't know that the majority of satellites that NASA operates are for Earth observation, ever wonder where all this data about melting icecaps and holes in the ozone layer came from? That's right, NASA. Ever wonder how developing countries monitor and prepare for droughts and famines? That's right, with public data provided by NASA, (Read into the SMAP and Suomi NPP satellites, they're doing amazing stuff up there). Without a space programme we wouldn't know the extent f the damage being done to Earth and would likely not realise till it was too late.
      Secondly, you're assuming that Lunar exploration wouldn't be beneficial for Earth. When in actual fact the Moon could be key in combatting climate change at it's root causes, specifically industry and energy. For example there is likely a large amount of Helium-3 (an isotope of Helium not found on Earth) just sitting on the moons surface. What's the big deal about that? Well, Helium-3 would make an amazing fuel for fusion reactors, which (with some development of course) could provide clean energy for the world's growing energy needs. In a similar case, us humans are going to run out of resources on Earth at some point (like rare-earth metals and such), and we will *have to* go elsewhere to find them. The moon would be great for this, in fact, moving all our industry to the moon would have all sorts of benefits! If we can not only mine resources, but manufacture products in space (0G manufacturing opens the door to new materials that cannot be made on Earth) then not only to we get to remove the cause of pollution form the Earth, but we also get new technologies that can keep Earth the way it is!
      But isn't this all just hand-wavy promises for a far-off century? Well, no actually. It is much closer than most people think. In particular China has expressed a huge interest in building Lunar bases and have already landed several rovers on the surface to prepare for such missions. There is also a massive commercial interest in the Moon from companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX, (both of which have received government contracts, so we know that they're serious) in going to the moon sustainably with cheaper reusable rockets.
      If you are going to try and make a point then it helps to know all the facts, I hope this helped.

    • @rohansonkusare7025

      For any given printing rate, building on Luna will always be easier than on Earth because of reduced gravity and no wind. Also the construction material used on earth is already manufactured in-situ (and thus very economical) and is much stronger than the regolith-polymer concrete, so it's unlikely that construction costs will be reduced on Earth.

    The first thing I would build? More printers! The new colonies will have a new kind of factory, ones that produce anything, but at a much slower pace than production factories designed to make a single thing. We will need a factory that makes most of what is needed. So, after the 100 beds, tables, chairs, and households are printed, it will become a bespoke factory. Colonists would send a file of whatever 3D item was needed, and wait for the notification to come down and get it. Having enough machines to meet colonist demand would be critical.

(Most UA-cam debates end up degenerating into petty name calling *sigh*) I'm an old coot who has been interested in this stuff for over 30 years😉. It was generally agreed decades ago that above ground dome structures would be death traps! Slow and difficult to construct, way too many failure points and joins to maintain seals on, exposed to hazards such as meteor strikes, require huge amounts of materials to construct. Teams of NASA scientists concluded that the simplest, strongest, safest and easiest way was to go underground. Under ground it's surprising solid, and large structures can be dug out very quickly with a minimum of materials and energy, and due to the low gravity, amazingly strong. Simply spraying the walls with a sealant to ensure no leak points (a small container covers a very large area!!) Building this structure was the easy part...powering it, growing food, and supplying water was the main problems.

Cut a long story short I stumbled upon a glitch on a lunar map site which enabled much greater magnification and greater focus. After stumbling around I saw something that caught my eye. 4 hours later I had found the moon base, the mine, space port, construction sites, vehicles, equipment, habitats, equipment stored and stuff I have no clue about. These are not ruins and are in use.

    Hey, NASA, both Mars and Moon have craters and rocks. Digging, especially preasure digging is far more economical than building 3d printers to make pooping structures.
    My vision:
    Send rower diggers with cable robes to gather stones, clear out sites, pick what rock to pick for armouring walls.
    Those same diggers could be used as a high preasure compressor to to dig, cut and organize walls.
    After tunnels are bored you can use them as perfect air ports and start to send shuttles back and forth to establish temp colonies to do research of things around.

    As a civil engineer, I'm really interested in the "lunar concrete". Here on earth, concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregate (gravel and sand) and water. What would lunar concrete consist of? Manufacturing cement on the moon doesn't seem viable to me. Perhaps we could use just lime? But does the moon even have lime? And what about water? It's a very precious resource on the moon. Should we really be using it as construction material when it might be far more essential for the people living there? I guess the regolith there could be a substitute for sand but what about gravel? I doubt the moon has giant reserves of the material. So it'd have to be manufactured there as well.
