Zubrin has done a fair bit too though and if Mars does get colonised I think it's very likely there'll be monuments to both.

[@nikolaishriver7922]

Around 32min, that’s a very interesting take on natural selection, just trying different options and attachments to see what benefits a species, or not, and gain or lose features depending on the environment. That would be quite the revelation to prove, that we’re just a bunch of spores with all possible tools we might need to survive anywhere and some kind of DNA controller nudging progresses, instincts, etc. That would be a very good way to realistically colonize a galaxy. There does seem to be an inherent driving force to life and the will to progress. Maybe that’s what the ancient Egyptians were all about. Accessing this DNA blueprint for any kind of physical body they could want. Smarter brains, self healing, extremely long life, animal type of body parts. Maybe they figured out how to access this blueprint without it being driven by “evolution” and a need for survival. They thought humanity was all set, we had Thoths tablets for guidance.. And then something hot glassed the surfaces of granite all across the region and we fell and returned to the dumb lingering primates we are now. Ignorant of the fact we potentially carry the key to everything. Keeping our dna content. No need to progress. Good dumb workers with short lives, easy to control, and given just enough struggle to activate our desire to learn just enough to keep working the machines and pushing buttons from nine to five. Ever wonder how the elite seem to appear ageless? There’s probably more to it than money and good facial cream. People, kings and rulers, used to live for hundreds of years. We are capable of accomplishing literally ANYthing. That seems a little bit more special and guided than slime mold cells just bumbling together to stay alive and eventually walking around

There is very little case for Mars with no magnetosphere. At least not any colony or for any long term visit, to have an infrastructure to counter that is likely quite a few decades away at best.

Magnetosphere is overrated. It only affects the radiation in the form of charged particles. Doesn't take much of a physical barrier to shield from those. Lack of atmospheric pressure is a much bigger problem.

[@gt1man931]

@@n-steam The reason there is no atmosphere to speak of is because there is no magnetosphere to stop the solar wind from blowing it off. So, yeah.

@@gt1man931 If you can replenish the atmosphere in any reasonable amount of time (a few lifetimes), then replenishing what is lost because of the lack of a magnetosphere is extremely trivial by comparison.

Funny story. So I used to fret about the magnetosphere thing as well. I thought it would be a show stopper for a permanent colony. Then Jim Green came up with an apparently relatively easily doable artificial magnetosphere for Mars, link below. Just out of nowhere the problem deflated like a well slashed tire.

[@sunsaverfromnhh9184]

The name caught my eye. Dr. Zubrin has long been a champion of putting humans on Mars with direct flights of people willing to risk their lives for the sake of human progress. I remember him for his attitude of 'why put humans on Mars? Because we can!'- There's plenty reasons to send people, including space tourism; but humans make better prospectors, better visionaries, better dreamers who will make the future Mars colony of humans function well and survive in a self-sustaining way. Humans might profit from mining for exominerals and extreme specimens or rare earths, etc., or for maintaining and expanding food production. Some fans of Dr. Zubrin would move to Mars for the same sort of reasons folks moved to California in olden days- the gold rush of tech jobs or life in space.

[@MrTaxiRob]

But we already know it's a dead rock with limited resources, so as prospectors we have to conclude that there's no profit to be made there.

As influential as "The Case for Mars" was for me; I found "Exploring Space" even more so if only for the idea that solar sails approaching the Sun as closely as possible can experience tens of gees acceleration and leave traveling at millions of km/hour.

There's hope in speculation but there's also a lot of wasted time in avoiding reality and the possibilities that exist NOW. If you want a million people on Mars, you're looking at a hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure, maybe even a trillion, and that's not an unreasonable guess. What would it take to build a city of 1 million people on Earth? Now add sustainable farming, radiation shielding, and pressurize the whole damn thing. Yeah, I don't see that happening for a dead rock that can't be terraformed in ANY amount of time. The raw materials just aren't there.

@@MrTaxiRob haha! Agreed all around. Mars might make sense for testing the human limits. Half the time I wonder if Musk doesn't believe his own vision, only sees it inspires people to believe we can do anything. But best I can see humans-in-space has no economy, no profits to be made, a money pit that countries and billionaires can play status games with. My own preference would be to create "Mars colonies" on earth, variations of Biosphere 2, cheating allowed, in the most inhospitable climates, and make them into "sustainability universities" where students go to classes AND do all the work to maintain them and I'm betting in 50 years we'll know a lot more about the human limits and sustainable artificial environments than spending 100x more to have the first people die on Mars.

[@JohnMichaelGodier]

His debunk was terrible, and was more of a naysaying than a real debunk. He makes the assumption that it's stupid to strap people to rockets so we won't. We've been doing that for decades in multiple countries and there are at least three companies entering the space tourism market one of which has already strapped its founder and some customers onto a rocket and shot it off a couple weeks ago. He then goes onto criticize the use of fossil fuel when it doesn't run on fossil fuel, and the fuel production method is carbon neutral. It goes on from there, but the point is that video was loaded with incorrect information. He didn't do his proper research and check his facts.

[@stevemickler452]

@@JohnMichaelGodier Agree but just b/c a particular debunk is flawed; that doesn't mean the idea being criticized is sound.

It can land and take off from runways around the world.

@@JohnMichaelGodier I'm sure you'll agree that moving freight to orbit is one thing and moving passengers profitably surface to surface are two rather different things. Airports are everywhere but starship will be very limited in where it can rake off and land. A hypersonic airliner using ballistic hops out of the atmosphere has 5 times lower fuel usage in theory than current airliners whereas Starship uses far more fuel per passenger and has to carry oxidizer also.

Is the buoyancy of hydrogen enough in such a thin atmosphere of CO2 on Mars to build hydrogen filled balloon flying vehicles?

I think that I'm making very valid points that no one else is making. Just like a hundred years ago people were imagining steam powered androids overthrowing human civilization on Earth, now ... thinking there will be colonies on Mars akin to Earth is quaint at best. I know I'm in the minority in this belief especially on youtube channels like Event Horizon. Oh how I wish that I could live in the future to laugh along with future humans at the people from the 21st century thinking about colonizing and living on Mars. After we've had outposts on Mars for several decades, which I do believe could happen, people will learn how naive it was to think about establishing colonies (families, children, etc in LARGE SCALES) on Mars. Sure, who knows what the future will bring ... but we have NO REASON at all to believe such things right NOW.

As a result, there are more than three hundred corpses frozen on that mountain yet the climbers keep coming despite it having been summited thousands of times. You also have a company building a launch system with the express purpose of founding a Mars colony. Right now. When that rocket development is finished, you will not be able to keep the.adventurers of this world away from the greatest adventure in human history thus far. And they will never stop coming, just as with Everest even if it kills them. And there's your Mars colony. Once a support industry becomes profitable, the colony grows, just as a sizable portion of Nepal makes its money from people wanting to see or climb on one of the most inhospitable, thoroughly uninhabitable hellish environments on earth.
