Thanks to LEGO City Space for helping us envision life on Mars! Go to lego.build/CITY... to start your next space adventure.
If we ever want to live, sleep, eat, and breathe on Mars, we are going to need some the best tech humans can dream up - and as a bonus that tech might actually help tackle challenges right here on Earth!

@Diesel Techie It's worth it if you ask me. It lasts for a lifetime, and you can build pretty much anything with it. I learned *so much* about mechanics from playing with that stuff, and it even helped me figure out how pneumatics work. The freedom of putting stuff anywhere you want makes it easy to try things out, and that helps you understand what you are dealing with. Lego is definitely the toy I played with the most when I was a kid - and I'm still inclined to pull it out from time to time. I can't say that about any of my other toys.

If the smashing of CO2 into Gold Foil bends the molecular structure, they could likely be making said CO2 molecules polar in nature, like H2O. If that's the case, then it might be possible to use high electromagnetism or heat (or both) to further the bend magnetically and have a better yield on the O2 production.

As a human biologist and researcher, what I would really love to see is more research conducted in the creation of bacteria which survive these harsh conditions on Mars (maybe if you additionally provide them with nutrients and water under the atmosphere). I know some researchers who are currently trying to completely "build" microorganisms on their own (meaning that they use directed evolution in order to make more and more components of a cell - they are currently working on membrane proteins - would really love to make a video about directed evolution!). Feel free to ask anything about that extreme synthetitc microorganisms (or stem cells, since I am conducting research in this field)!

ALL PRAISE LEGO SPACE! I remain skeptical about long-term Martian surface habitation, much less colonization, until we have a better handle on the lifetime effects of sub-Earth gravity on health. It strikes me that all the problems of living on Mars (entirely worth solving, I must stress), are equally applicable for orbital habitats able to use rotational 'gravity' and thus provide a 'basecamp' facility for Martian surface operations where Mars-nauts can tele-operate rovers and coordinate surface operations from, provide a waystation for traffic between Mars surface and Earth rendezvous flights, and provide medical facilities to help long-duration surface personnel re-acclimatize to Earth gravity. It would also be a great place to retreat to in case a surface station needs to evacuate for whatever reason. I just don't think Mars operations will be much more than Apollo-scale surface jaunts until we have this kind of support capability.

Long ago here on Earth there evolved an organism that turned CO2 into O2. It was so good at it that led to too little CO2 and a quite cold Earth. On top of that it's not just that Mar's atmosphere is mostly CO2 it also has very little nitrogen. There's also not much of any atmosphere and no magnetic field hence radiation is a very serious problem and then there's the one third gravity.

The name comes from the Danish phrase "Leg Godt," which means “Play Well” in English and "I Put Together" or "I Assemble" in Latin. LEGO didn’t create the colorful interlocking plastic bricks that the company is known for until 1949."

They don't use pure oxygen in space, it's way too dangerous. Even stuff like polyester clothes and stuff burn extremely easily in pure oxygen. Plus, things degrade from oxidation a lot faster. A high co2 concentration is still bad for humans even if there is plenty of oxygen present, for instance an atmosphere of 25% co2 and 25% oxygen and the rest nitrogen would kill a person pretty quickly. Even a co2 level as low as 0.5% is not something you can live in for more than a few hours to a day, regardless of oxygen percentage. Terraforming Mars to the point of being able to live on the surface with nothing more than an airsupply and some warm clothes is probably the most humanity can realistically ever hope for, and even then that is a huge stretch.

C02 is important for the function of our planet. In fact, we have some of the lowest c02 levels in all of our beautiful earths history. Many contrarian scientists have come out to say that we need higher c02 levels. Human made climate change is real, but we are barely making a difference when compared to the natural cycles of our planet and our sun. Solar flares and other forms of cosmic radiation are the main influence, as-well-as ocean currents and shifts in our magnetic poles.

While the capabilities of 3D printers have been overblown a few times, it's hardly a trope, so long as you have well makes 3D models and raw material there are a ton of things you can build without needing a onsite factory or 100s of tons of prefab (though they do intend to use a few pre-made Windows and airlocks that is far less weight than an entire pre made habitat) and having smaller printers for spare parts or making custom equipment/tools onsite is just better all around, having to wait up to 2 years just to get something you need when you can make it on site has obvious advantages, I have my own cheap 3D printer and even with all of its quirks and slow print times there are things it can do that would be difficult or impossible otherwise, and a colony on Mars could afford several much higher quality machines including 3D printers that can fabticate metal parts

Billions spent on NASA and we get Tang and velcro, and nobody drinks Tang anymore. Money better spent here at home.

@@JamesRPatrick Don't get me started on weather forecasting, what a useless invention that has definitely never saved thousands of lives! The most fatal Cyclone to ever hit India (and the world) was the 1970 Bhola cyclone, which killed more than 500,000 people. 43 years later, India was hit with the even bigger cyclone Phaililn, only 45 people died. What changed? The launch of tens of new meteorological satellites that enabled scientists to accurately predict the cyclone well in advance, enabling rapid evacuation of populated areas. Space exploration has saved thousands, if not millions of lives.

Call me crazy, but wouldn't the plants that provide the materials for the PLA to build things also deal with the carbon dioxide problem?
@limiv5272
@limiv5272 5 жыл бұрын
I think it would be difficult to grow enough plants to make enough oxygen for a large crew for a long duration mission. The current conditions wouldn't allow plants to grow outside, so it would take massive greenhouses and lots of water

@Mario Perez The water ice in the martian ice caps is buried under a layer of frozen carbon dioxide, and the whole process of extracting thawing and purifying would undoubtedly take a lot of time and electricity. The whole thing would be hard to do on a large scale. Definitely possible, just very hard
