And according to all these eco-freaks, CO2 is a massive problem. So you can either diminish our way of life or we help the planet to cope with it by planting trees. @Javier L The desert is a habitat to several forms of life and these lifeforms will adapt to a more lush and greener place or perish.

@@Guus775 Mars is smaller, thus it has more grazing angles for the same radiation source, but is also much further away, which reduces the incoming light but at the same time cancels the grazing effect to some extent (the light is approaching more in parallels, instead of radially). On the other hand, you're right, thinner atmosphere allows the more energetic beams of light to reach the surface, but also highly energetic ultraviolet radiation, so, in summary, Mars has more solar energy potential than it receives visible light, but it can be hazardous to life if exposed. Hence the large temperature variation (-140 - +30 degrees C) even though it is so far away (compared to Earth's -88 - +58 degs C, clearly a sign of a much thicker atmosphere).

@@mactek6033 Yes, and those that can affect a turn always come with a big wobbly meat-sack on top! That fleshy thing has a _massive_ movement of inertia, so it takes quite a large torque to get that wobbly bit to spin. So when the meat sack applies a torque to the unicycle, that poor thing has to try to balance that torque by applying force on the ground. But that interface has a very small area, an area that - on top of that - has tiny radius and - therefore whatever ground friction there is - has almost no fulcrum to provide a resisting torque. So the torque provided by the big wobbly meat sack can easily overcome the friction, and thus make the unicycle spin in place. But such is not the case here. The uni-wheel robots are quite top-light compared to the meat-sack-equipped unicycle, and unless they can build up a hefty spin of their top body, and then use brakes to apply torque down to the wheel, they are going to have one hell of a hard time doing anything other than spin their top bodies.

A classic microwave use about 2.4GHz, which happend to be the frequency that heat up water the most effectivelly. However put no water and something else will have to absorb the energy and heat up, which in the case of an empty microwave it will be the metal. But this process is not good if not tuned proprelly. In the case of the empty microwave, it heat up because each time the wave hit the metal, only a part get absorbed, the rest reflect back. It will bounce thousands of time before it get completly absorbed. If it is tuned, it will be absorbed right away, and little to none will bounce. Water has been chosen for food microwave because all food contain water. Industrial microwave can melt plastic and other materials, but there is more efficient ways for alot of other material, like metal. For metal they will use induction heating quite often, or just gas. On earth, we have a ton of ressources and ways to do it. On mars we would be quite limited. The soil is not magnetic, so induction won't work. There is no real way to burn gas (I don't know if there is anything flammable, but even if there is, there is no oxygen to burn it). You are left with whatever use electricity. Microwave could be one, or just plain heating elements. If they tune the microwave oven to the right frequency, yes they can melt it.

That actually looks like it really could work. Can you believe how close we are to making this a reality? I wanna go.

[@thestudentofficial5483]

Holy cow. The "small but many" concept is genius!

[@SlightlyInactive]

Yeah but with his design, it’s risky. If an essential bot flips over or gets stuck, there’s nothing to get it back on track. The whole projects gets shit on by such a little failure.

[@thegamer5367]

@@SlightlyInactive thats why you send many of them

[@Nae_Ayy]

@@SlightlyInactive the whole point is that there is no "essential bot." none of them have a specific job, any individual bot could replace another for any job. just send a whole lot more than you think you'll need.

@Y O J I M B O 用心棒 The problem is that we lack the technology to have reliable self replication, that's why for the starter colony we just need to send many redundant multi-purpose vehicles.

[@kelanbarr9646]

@Y O J I M B O 用心棒 Absolutely, although I doubt it will be this specific company's vision. The goal is to start ASAP, not to just do it at all.

[@gospelhubdigital]

Just in dreams, muckup and all the rest, we want real tests of the modules

[@no_alias_for_me]

Well this was part of a competition where groups and companies could send in their ideas and concepts to NASA from which they pick one feasible option to THEN make it reality. Long way to go still...

[@SwaggMessiah69]

You gain far more inspiration, idea, potential, and exploration from aiming high then carving it down to reality, rather than aiming low and trying to build that up. This is how you achieve feats of engineering, world defining architecture, and new and unique design concepts, all thought to be impossible in reality a few years ago that exist today. This is extremely far fetched, highly fictional, and impossible in reality, but the endpoint is not always what is important.

[@TheHonestPeanut]

Sounds great! Maybe once we're set up on Mars we'll figure out how to do all this on Earth?

[@stevengunter4990]

Well just because we dont use this on earth doesnt mean we cant do it....i have never seen a giant atomic rover driving around to plot the land

[@Jehty_]

@@stevengunter4990 you mean something like that? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aV6wf3SOZs-amKM Seems to work just fine on Earth. :)

[@doop00]

Pretty sure they already do testing of these systems here on Earth, it would be foolish to just send it to Mars based on a concept and hope it all goes well.

[@bryanskscion2229]

There are also very different conditions on Mars that are difficult to replicate on Earth like the fact that Mars has a lot less gravity.

[@kevinfidler6287]

The funny thing is, yeah, that's probably how it will actually turn out.

[@ExxxProGresSive]

That concept will do for a very good Sci Fi Thriller/Horror movie. Can't wait!

[@MISTERSLICKSHOE]

Please elaborate on your power source that will allow 100+ modular assembly units to each use a Gyro which has high power loads. Also, you're 3D printing capabilities in sub-arctic conditions using microwaves.

[@sivelllevis6755]

lots-o-nuclear?

[@mrjilian07]

They said they would use nuclear power, as many other missions in the past

[@adriankepler5254]

BlueHamster that’s what they said sis

[@mrjilian07]

@BlueHamster I don't think I've ever said that the nuclear reactor was on the robots

[@EragoEntertainment]

Melting this stuff with microwaves und building it slowly over three years seems realistic. Only that it definitely needs a small reactor connected (via cable), but NASA already launched enough stuff into space with reactors like that. Most of the shown concepts are just a matter of cost, and some of this will definitely be used, like 3D printing, mining and possibly also inflatable habitats, but on the other hand much of this stuff is unnecessary and only for show and will not be used because it's just useless added costs.

Wow amazing, human is brilliant!
