Angry is back with another episode - this one tackling Jeff Bezos' claims that Everest would be a better place to live than Mars.
And, in typical Angry fashion, he didn't bother checking any facts before he released his video to the public.
Turns out, Angry needs some Common Sense to get his facts straight. Again!

[@joeyhamilton6854]

Honestly a “Mars simulation” in the middle of the arctic doesn’t sound like a bad project. If you can’t build your shelter or get your new indoor farming methods to work then we can immediately rule out them working on another planet.

[@piotrd.4850]

Frankly speaking, carefully chosen part of Sahara or high up Chile at night could be better approximation. Thermals we understand. Dust, terrain and impact on mechanisms.... that's whole different story. In another words: I would not send to Antarctica anything that didn't make cut on Iceland, Sahara and Chile.

It' crazy to think that despite all we have due to civilization, we could basically go out in the wild anytime and live there with enough knowledge and a small community. No tech needed at all despite your clothes depending on region, you can just cut down trees to build a hut and make fires, go fishing at a nearby river, etc. Nature provides us with everything once we know how to use it. The fact that you can't have that on Mars even with billion dollar high-tech speaks volumes.

There's a limit to what he can squeeze out of "investors" and Starlink isn't the cash cow that the Muskrats think it is. Its true market is a few millions of users, not hundreds of millions. Its not going to fund Mars. Nor are fare paying colonists. Think about it for a moment - what is the rational self interest in handing over your life savings in order to suffer loss, deprivation and most likely early death? Once reality sinks it, it will become apparent that there just aren't enough people who are both wealthy and self-destructive enough to pay for it. So, Mars isn't happening.

[@GlanderBrondurg]

Mars has a number of unique features worth mentioning: * It has a substantial atmosphere. That includes Nitrogen, Argon, and other gasses that can be useful. * It has substantial gravity. While less than the Earth, gravity on Mars is stronger than any other place you mention. That may be important. * It has a 24 hour day. This is coincidence but a useful one that makes adjusting to Martian cycles much easier. I could go on, but Mars is by far the most "Earth like" planet or world that can be used for human settlement that we know about. That even includes any exoplanet discovered so far. Those other places may be useful but have many other challenges because of how different they are.

[@qwertyuiop-jf1lm]

However, more delta v is required to get to the outer solar system, and the mass ratio of a spacecraft increases exponentially with delta v, thus the amount of fuel required increases significantly. Also, it takes way longer to travel to Jupiter and its moons compared to travelling to Mars, which significantly increases the health risks of space travel to the astronauts.

@@emilmullerv3519 You, nor anybody else, knows what happens in a reduced gravity environment. It is at this point pure speculation and it is disingenuous to suggest otherwise. Yes, those on the ISS are in freefall and not experiencing more than the most insignificant acceleration do have some problems with bone loss and other health problems. Looking for those issues and being aware that it may be a problem is prudent. But let's do science on these issues and find out if it really is a problem and don't make things up. There may be other health problems that have not even been discovered on the ISS too. I would speculate that the issues won't be as severe and that the gravity of the Moon much less Mars will make a huge difference. But I am willing to acknowledge I may be wrong and will have an open mind about these topics. In 1957 when people first started going into space, all sorts of crazy ideas about human health abounded. Some speculated people could not eat in space or perform other tasks which are now routinely done.

My thoughts are as follows: 1. People stick to their opinions/beliefs regardless of the evidence, because they tie it to their self worth. 2. To challenge their beliefs is a personal attack due to the pressure/fear of being wrong created by themselves (many reasons this could be). 3. To be a skeptic is to tie your self worth to your ability to change your opinion for the better in light of presented evidence and to think critically of the evidence presented in regards to your opinions.

The way he painted Mars is like how my childhood church describe afterlife. I was part of the atheist revolution in the early 2010s, when I was in University.

Fast forward to leaving university, I noticed that the vacuum of religion was filled with other things. People suddenly become so culty when it comes to politics on a different level than before. And then Tesla and the Musksphere. At this point, I wish these people just go back to religion.

Build me a self-sustaining arcology on Antarctica which is entirely autonomous for at least 2 years (meaning it is sealed off from the surrounding environment and requires ZERO inputs from the environment once it is built and residency starts). Lets say you have at least 4 maybe 8 people living there. You've now demonstrated mastery of the basic principles of a true self-contained arcology that is resilient in an environment with low temperatures and "no atmosphere," and presumably with a living experience inside where the residents do not go insane. This is only the first step in a process involving probably 50+ steps required just to be READY to begin designing human habitats for Mars. But before you do any of that: explain to me WHY would anyone ever actually NEED to visit, much less live on Mars? Robots can achieve most of the science we might hope to achieve there. There are no resources available on Mars which cannot be more readily acquired from asteroids which have much weaker gravity wells and better prospects of acting as host bodies for rotating habitats which might offer artificial gravity more suited to human well-being than the paltry 3.7 m/s^2, which is about 38% of the gravitational acceleration on Earth. We have plenty of reason to suspect that protracted exposure to that gravity will be harmful (along with the various other environmental hazards such as radiation and toxins). Not only is Mars a hell hole, that is centuries beyond our basic scientific and technological capacity for safe and sustainable human habitation, there is effectively zero legitimate reason to even conceive of human beings visiting the place, except for foolish and misplaced notions about the romance of the novelty of being at the place.

I would like to see humanity go back to the moon and on to Mars, but the only thing even remotely feasible is a small return mission ( 4 people ) which could possibly make some return fuel on the surface of Mars. The problems and cost is an enormous challenge. Any sort of colonization is far, far off and I believe would require autonomous robots to get there and setup a lot of things first, so far future. Maybe we can get back to the moon this decade if nasa smartens up, but I'm not optimistic after awarding 'starship' the lunar lander contract :(

[@saumyacow4435]

I agree that we should aim for a sensible, limited, exploratory mission to Mars. We already have the technology needed, in a sense. But we haven't developed and proven it. As for the cost, my view is it has to be an international, cooperative effort. And this ties in with the main reason why we should go to Mars. Its not just the science, its bringing humanity together and renewing the message that cooperative behaviour and science/technology are the way forward. All this rubbish about colonisation is actually motivated by baser motives and that's the main reason I don't like it. Competition, selfishness, the privileges of the few. As for the mechanics, all you really need (and it doesn't matter how) is a means to loft a lot of fuel into Earth orbit, cheaply enough. Fuel is the overwhelming majority of the mass needed. Once you've gained the ability to put hundreds, or thousands of tonnes of fuel into Earth orbit, its pretty straightforward figuring out how to get hundreds of tonnes of fuel into Mars orbit. And once you've done that, you've solved the "return fuel" problem. Have a vehicle whose sole purpose is to get (a few) humans safely from Earth orbit to Mars orbit and return. A vehicle that only ever lives in space, so it can be optimised to be robust, reliable, serviceable and has a decent mass budget for radiation protection. Also, having a space-only vehicle gives you the flexibility to design for spin-gravity in a way that you cannot get with a one-sized-fits-all vehicle that has to survive atmospheric entry. Have a minimalist Mars lander/ascent vehicle. One that lands fully propulsively so as to subject said humans to the minimum g forces. This way all you actually need to make on Mars itself is under 20 tonnes of Oxygen (the methane can be landed along with all the other one-way cargo). Having an indirect return to Earth and a minimalist purpose built Mars lander/ascent vehicle vastly reduces the problem of Mars based propellant production. You only need to make Oxygen and not a whole lot of it either. Since you have a store of fuel in Mars orbit, it makes it a lot easier to return to Earth. And that fuel, along with all the necessary one-way cargo can be delivered separately to humans, thus allowing you to use (slow) minimal energy ballistic capture trajectories. This way you maximise the fuel stored in Mars orbit and you minimise the return trip time.

Thanks to the virtual lack of atmosphere on Mars, neither the temperature nor the wind is much of a problem... But the complete lack of oxygen is, well, problematic... The really bizarre thing is, that people like Angry get angry at the suggestion that they should try it out in an inhospitable environment on Earth before paying hundreds of billions to try it in a certainly more inhospitable environment on a different planet. That's not saying it will never ever happen, it's really just doing it the systematic way, one step at a time. I guess the real problem is, they want to think they can move to Mars within their own lifetime (whether they would actually do it or not), and being presented with a much simpler, but real practical task that they can see will take years and years (at least) and lots of money, brings it into too sharp relief how unrealistic that hope is.

I’ve also run into space advocates who insist if you have ice, you can make air ... wait for it ... we can learn to live without nitrogen. I point out the protean in our bodies is built largely out of it. They weren’t convinced it was nessisary.

They believe entropy ran in reverse and life created itself on the early earth too without one single shred of evidence other than we are here proves it happened. Their materialism is all the proof they need even though materialism is not science, it is a philosophical worldview no different than a religion.

@@MountainFisher Life doesn’t reverse entropy, though it does create local order. But then so does ice and snowflakes. Nothing magical about that. Not that any of that relates in anyway to what Angry was tripping himself up on, or what materialism is about.

An O’Neill cylinder would be like a million times more impressive and equally as difficult as colonizing mars IMO.

Why he call himself angry astronaut? Angry is the last trait you would use to describe any living astronaut.

He plans to drive across the US in a diaper like that other angry astronaut!

Regarding using Starship for point to point transport, I did a reliability calculation that showed it would take 2302 successful launches without a single fatality to demonstrate a reliability of 99.9% to a confidence level of 90%. For commercial aviation, a fatality rate of 0.1% is a very low level of safety, and would certainly not be acceptable to aviation regulators.

[@NipapornP]

Great calc, and absolutely true for aviation.

[@piotrd.4850]

Well standards for aviation regulators acceptance has sunk recently anyway.... that means 330 full mission profiles with tanking.

Ah, the life of a space farmer is hard work, but honest work.

All other things being equal, our crappy propulsion systems are the ultimate barrier. So long as we’re stuck relying on mid-twentieth chemical rocket technology we’re not going very far. If there’s some sort of breakthrough technology (Nuclear fusion? Warp Drive?) that enables us to move more a lot more mass much more quickly and economically than we can start looking at the other problems. There are plenty of those, too, but we could at least start looking at them then.

[@grahamstrouse1165]

@@espenha This is a mature technology. Saying that there’s untapped potential in chemical rockets is like saying it’s possible to beat Usain Bolt’s 100 meter world record by 2 seconds.

[@grahamstrouse1165]

@@espenha We need a technology that’s orders of magnitude more powerful & efficient than chemical rockets. That’s not happening. Give it a rest, Elonian. You’re done, son.
