This is one of the most fascinating interviews you have done. Additional forays into areas like this that aren't (as you said) your usual stuff would be greatly appreciated.
Awesome idea, do it NASA! In my town there's one pharmacy that's open nights, Sundays, and on holidays and it's on the other side of town. Not much fun in the middle of January when it's -35. A vending machine pharmacy would be awesome! (I'll be really old by the time it's done, so will benefit from it far more!)
What a great interview! I’d add that mechanical properties are important. Synthesising spider web silk from bacteria has been disappointing. There’s a lot still to work out but this was a great taster of what’s on the near horizon
There is no space civilization without on-ship manufacturing for all needs: drugs, medical supplies, anything 3D-printable including for ship repairs, food, cloth/fabrics, and probably countless things which I am overlooking. I also figure that DNA/RNA printing and vaccine manufacture will be especially important due to huge, semi-isolated pockets of human populations. It has to be a closed system which can produce good more or less on demand by the end user (which will be very disruptive to capitalistic economies).
After hearing this, I think bio spaceships would be holy grail. They could self repair on long journeys and so much more. Bio tech is such an awesome branch of science. I would like to see more people studying this branch.
Give me a pharmaceutical printer, a used Starship, and I'll carve out a couple corners on Mars. I'll set up shop dead center in the Breach Candy district. Catch the terraforming engineers' focus drug lunch rush.
Fraser, I kind of hope you someday take a 2-year sabbatical and write a sci fi book based on what's been set off rattling around your brain in all these conversations. Even now you probably have a more grounded, detailed vision of the future than just about anybody. Also, this lady is awesome.
I hope the technology doesn't fall into Big pharma's greedy hands. The U.s Government should keep the patents to license the tech to democratise the right to free or cheap medicines.❤
Question: A hypothetical spaceship leaves the earth and accelerates to 99.9% light speed. What’s tightest radius the ship could orbit our sun at that speed and still be livable for the people on board (gravity max of 1.5 g)? While the people orbit the sun are they able to use a huge telescope to watch the people on earth proceeding at relative hyper speed?
I'm not an expert but it shouldn't be too hard. One way to compute is to use Newtonian centrifugal force, multiplied by gamma: m g = γ m v^2/r, for g=15 m/s^2, v~c, γ~22.4. Another way is using gravitational time dilation - find the depth of 15 m/s^2 field where the time dilation is gamma: γ = 1+g r /c^2 For your case, both ways give around 14 light years. For slow speeds, they differ by a factor of 2, I'm not quite sure why so I might be completely wrong here.
Yes that's sounds like it could be feasible but how many and what kind of chemicals do they have to have in hand in order for the machine to make a good drug?
Re - This Video Erm, you could, you know... Bring a competent chemist with you. I don't necessarily mean a pharmacist, either, but rather a person with- at the very least- a bachelor's degree in chemistry. Make sure there's a small lab with well stocked components, and the chemist should be able to build whatever molecule you need.
At first I wasn't utilizing an open mind. Now I realize how absolutely necessary and important this really is and she sure as hell knows what she's saying and she's also very capable of executing these ideas. Wow!
Star Trek replicators use E=MC^2 to turn energy into matter. Replicators have a double function that recycles things by turning matter back into energy. Transporters are essentially supped-up Replicators. Technically, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to make a steak dinner using the transporter. Scotty, in the TNG episode called _"Relics,"_ (Season 6 episode 4) used this principle to survive for a very long time. He rigged the transporter to turn himself into energy and store himself. Star Gate replicators on the other hand consume matter and turn it into more building blocks to build more of themselves. I'm guessing they use the same process, turning random matter into energy and then turning that energy back into the appropriate matter.
51:12 Can you not give these fungi a new genetic trait like a butthole to separate the toxic product from their own bio system after it was made? This biofarming is really mind blowing, how is it currently excreted?
@@frasercain sounds more like a piano to me or something like that. Or perhaps I should say a forte ^^ ok I am a little bit ashamed of that joke. But not enough to not make it .
Hah, my wife and the dog were hanging out in the studio. She had her headphones on and the dog was snoring and didn't realize. I didn't think it would come through my microphone.
I request that you do an interview with Chat GPT, to make people aware of the AI tools that suddenly became available. I think it will greatly reduce the cost of development. There will probably be medical, including medication, breakthroughs as well. The sooner we adopt, the better.
Frazier - Starship would allow explorers, colonists, workers & others going to and living & working on Mars & elsewhere to take dozens of these machines & their feedstocks with them.
Hah, maybe. I did find papers about Ryugu amino acids found so far, and the count is up to 23, but they're not all essential amino acids that life depends on.
The proper method would initially be to send them back to Earth. If in the future Mars develops it's own government, it would have to decide for itself.
Size of a wallet, eh? Why am I thinking about Theranos? ;p I wish them all the luck making it, but I won't be investing until they have proof they can make it even the size of a family bible.
Even the size of a Oxford Unabridged Dictionary would be great if it worked and could produce enough of 3 or 4 different drugs for a crew or of 100 people. 40 of these should be enough to produce the non-long term storable drugs that a generally healthy group of 100 would need…
What if you could just use your imagination to travel , then your imaginary medicine printer which printed itself could give you a printed out planet to explore with ready made ice-cream parlors every mile .
What's with this non-functional @ that's prefixed to every youtube name now? I say non-functional because it doesn't function like a handler (you know, typing 3 letters and get auto-complete?). Why are they suddenly dunking another pointless feature on us?
@@frasercain I'm actually talking about the @ that's currently in front of **everybody's** name. I know youtube rolls out updates in sections, maybe you can't see what I'm talking about yet...
She tryna get aliens addicted to drugs! That’s next level gangster! ✊🏾
Great subject, great interview, take good care of your lipids. Thanks.
Matt Damon had Vicodin on Mars.
He crushed one up and dunked a potato in it for kicks.
Note to self:
Use ketchup next time.
No such thing as too many cool science interviews! 👏

Fraser, I make robot pills that swim inside the human body. It’s the ultimate telemedicine, including for space medicine. I’d love to show you more.
24 hrs would be wild. I wait 3 weeks to get medicine delivered and its sitting on a shelf somewhere.

People on Earth may not have a genie lab in their houses, but the best spaceships and space-stations certainly will.
I love her positivity enthusiasm and knowledge. Great interview! The future looks bright!

Flesh homunculus ships are the future of ai probes
It's strange that I always thought it was a ridiculous part of Sci-fi. Now it looks like it may be an absolute necessity in our future.
Give me a pharmaceutical printer, a used Starship, and I'll carve out a couple corners on Mars. I'll set up shop dead center in the Breach Candy district. Catch the terraforming
engineers' focus drug lunch rush.
Being able to print any chemical structure 👌I have quite a few key drugs id make at home.
Space based experiments on the base elements of life, the expanse here we go!
I love that in passing she calls herself a "life chauvinist." Same.
Fraser, I kind of hope you someday take a 2-year sabbatical and write a sci fi book based on what's been set off rattling around your brain in all these conversations. Even now you probably have a more grounded, detailed vision of the future than just about anybody. Also, this lady is awesome.
Hah, writing a book sucks. I'd rather tell stories this way.
@@frasercain - You could always write a series of monthly short-stories & put them together into a book as Isaac Asimov did in the 1940’s & 50’s…
"Application's on Earth": Absolutely! Antarctica, military deployments, Jungle hospitals, relief missions,.........
Can we get a link for Kate Adamala’s Monday seminar series?
Hospital ships in orbit, won't be long before we have space guard ships rescuing astronauts

I'd say not possible since you've exceeded the escape velocity of the Sun.

This was so neat and informative. What a great idea!
Too fascinating Can not wait for more interviews, wether they’re NIAC winners or not. Thanks for this.

Sounds like a great way to dispose of a body. Lol
As a pharmacist, I am fascinated!
51:12 Can you not give these fungi a new genetic trait like a butthole to separate the toxic product from their own bio system after it was made?
This biofarming is really mind blowing, how is it currently excreted?

Snoring dog?

@@frasercain Ah yes, the old "my dog was snoring and my wife had headphones and I didn't think it would come through"...defense. Sounds suspicious.
Was the title of the video changed after release?
Very nice talk. Thank you.

36:00 Fraser says "because in space..." and I finish "no one can hear you scream."
Not about to apologize. 😂
Nor should you.
Silversword blooming on mars would be amazing
Wow. This interview help me realize why there is an expiration date on medication. Because it's biological 😁
Frazier - Starship would allow explorers, colonists, workers & others going to and living & working on Mars & elsewhere to take dozens of these machines & their feedstocks with them.
49:15 Fraser gets called on his 🐃💩😁
Hah, maybe. I did find papers about Ryugu amino acids found so far, and the count is up to 23, but they're not all essential amino acids that life depends on.
Also, how much is Steve benner related to Bruce banner? 😂
So the pyramids might have been built with fungi myscelium?
Egypt's pyramids are limestone,
so they're built from the shells of diatom plankton.
Shouldn't indigenous Mars life be able to out-compete Earth microbes on its home turf?
No guarantee. Consider invasive species within Earth as an example.
This is straight sci-fi
❓Does the Earth’s core run on nuclear fusion, the same as our Sun? If so, can it technically be consider to be a “mini star” within a planet?
No fusion inside the Earth. Just slow fission, with the occasion natural fission reactor going critical.
Starship makes it possible to take the things, including the means to produce them, Dr. Rothschild talks about to Mars.
Why the obsession about refrigeration in space? Just need an outside container that doesn't get sunlight exposure.
So. If someone committed a murder on Mars, would we bring him/her back to earth to face justice, or will we build prisons on Mars?
The proper method would initially be to send them back to Earth. If in the future Mars develops it's own government, it would have to decide for itself.
I would make a cheeseburger.
Leaving a like and comment to appease the Almighty Algorithm!
All hail the algorithm.
She is outa touch with common folk if she thinks there would be no interest in making drugs in the home... I'd LOVE a 3D printer for drugs.
