TIMELAPSE: Robots Building the Mars Base

Builder Bots. Sci Fi has also had scenarios where they have Miner Robots, cause the mined out caverns are weather proof and sealed "by rocks " The 3D printer is functional now, they are 3d printing using an arm like here and use a cement slurry. You can find pics online, Only thing he left out here, was a special group of bots that can scavange and build/rebuild NEW bots to work unseen issues.

Everyone watching this video, we were all born at a time when we can witness the birth of human space colonization. This is the infancy of our true space age. We are lucky enough to exist at a time where we can see it all unfold and take its first steps, It is incredible.

[@ChirstInTheDistance]

True kinda, but I feel like the birth of A.I. is overshadowing our so called age of space exploration. It's making such a huge footprint and it's barely out of it's infancy, it's gonna be Interesting to watch how this pans out.

[@bionic1matt]

@ChirstInTheDistance As of a year later, I agree with you. It's kind of scary how much progress AI is making in such a short time frame. Let's hope that maybe AI will be a good thing that helps humanity instead of hurting us.

Is no one going to talk about how these robots did so much work before the humans landed on mars? Imagine how long in the future to have these robots work atomunusly and do these tasks without being guided by a human millions of kilometers away from mars i think by then i would not live to see it yes. AI had some progress like chat gpt but still it will take more decades to have these intelligent robots roaming mars and doing their own thing

[@bobwilson9820]

I can imagine Mission Control on Earth evaluating the progress of robots on Mars and having to make a GO/NO GO decision about launching humans to Mars. I would hold back humans until food and fuel were unquestionably ready. An unexpected collapse of either might doom a human colony on Mars.

[@davocc2405]

I think Elon Musk mentioned needing to take a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) rather than panels. When weight/space is limited this probably makes quite a bit more sense; panels are more difficult to set up and maintain, clean, etc. remembering that Mars receives only 43% of the light of earth... By that stage we should be better at building small modular reactors with decades of fuel, just two (perhaps one for primary and a second for redundancy) initially and then a third when humans arrive. You enjoy more consistent (and night resistant) power and there's not the need to store it with batteries nearly as much. Additionally any high energy functions (e.g. mining, brick firing, etc.) are instantly better serviced from a reactor.

This video reminds me of the very first computer game I ever owned it was Outpost. Basically the game was designed to be an open-ended simulation that tasted the players ability to establish a colony, discover and mine resources that can be used to advance technology and provide a life-sustaining environment in the stark and inhospitable landscape of an alien world. It was definitely ahead of it's time.

[@TheKdcool]

Summary from GPT4: Ten starships carrying 120 robots are on their way to Mars to build and colonize the planet before humans arrive. The robots will first build structures for their own protection and fuel before starting phase two, which is building the Mars colony for humans. They have a timeline of two years and two months to complete their mission, known as the robotic age of Mars. The robots work autonomously due to communication delays between Earth and Mars. They establish network connections with each other, starlink satellites, and Mars rovers, creating the first hive mind on the red planet. Human mission control on Earth adjusts their sleep schedule to match Mars time. The robots work on building robot habitats, solar fields, and storage garages. They face challenges like dust storms, solar flares, hardware and software malfunctions, and extreme temperatures. They are grouped into two classes: dumb robots and AI machines. Dumb robots perform tasks like transporting and mining, while AI robots make autonomous decisions and have specialized tools. As the base grows, robots build structures like emergency domes, biodomes for plants, and life support systems for future human inhabitants. Mining robots collect ice samples for purity analysis and resource extraction. Carbon capture towers, electrolysis facilities, and saboteer reactors are built to produce methane rocket fuel and oxygen. Robots prepare the building site for human habitats, clearing debris and grading the surface. They also harvest soil, which is mixed with plant glue and turned into filament for 3D habitat printers. Once the robot settlement is self-sustaining, the next phase begins: building infrastructure for humans, including oxygen, water, and rocket fuel production.

[@lengchai27]

A pretty optimistic plan. Such an implementation would be a serious challenge even here on Earth, unlike on Mars, where a thousand things can and will go wrong.

[@valberm]

To me, Mars and space colonization in general is the perfect field for the use of robots, to the point that maybe humans should have no business being there in the first place (at least not as "early" as people want it). However, and I was thinking about it as I was watching the video, if you really pay attention to it, most challenges (and not only related to space) are most of the times not tackled or tackled with a half-assed approach simply because of lack of justification / motivation. See, we *are* capable of creating robots that do all that described in the video on Mars. We just don't create robots that do that here on Earth because of the lack of justification (or: the economics of it). That's the reason, for example, why humans were able to visit the Moon as early as in the 60's. It's possible when you have the justification (in that case it was the Cold War). The justification this time for creating robots capable of self-organizing on Mars is two-fold: first, it's Mars, it must work (so don't just implement anything that works, but something that is very robust); second, the patron of this project is one of the richest and most inspiring men on Earth (alas he's been trying hard to smear his image lately, but anyway...) who is able to concentrate brilliant and motivated people to make the greatest challenges work. It may seem silly, but the motivational factor is really decisive.

[@MagicCarpetRide8669]

Cool idea but it would be a massive leap for robots to start building a base on Mars, from what they are doing now. Current rovers might move a few dozen feet per day and aren't doing much besides snapping some pictures and drilling into a rock. I'm sure it's possible but this is very optimistic if we're being honest. More likely humans will land with supplies and live out of the Starships as they're getting a base set up.

[@DbeeSapphire]

Yes, and support robots as well. Likely takes both. By the time we get humans to mars, humanoid robots will be fairly useful.

[@JayendrenSubramoney]

Brilliant Video! The plan of using robots to initially colonise Mars is well thought and realistic. The first human explorers will have to be Vegan for the tours, because there won't be any cows on Mars. Furthermore, sending meat and diary to Mars will be cost prohibitive. The space explorers will eats plants only, increasing the lifespan of people living offworld. Another scenario to consider, is that we might be using Clean Cultured Meat on Mars because even now we can grow meat. Being able to grow meat will come in handy on Mars because you could even grow organs like skin in the case of medical emergencies. I would also add that the Starlink satellites will have Bitcoin nodes running on them to provide the monetary network for longer term development of a Mars colony. The blockchain tech running of these Satellites nodes will also be used to run DAOs(Decentralised Autonomous Organisations) forming the basis for the first governance structures on Mars. Excellent videos - looking forward to more.

12:28 These rovers with high legs remind me of the one shown in James Cameron's "Aliens" from 1986 (the scene where Newt's family investigating the mysterious signal known from Ridley Scott's first movie).

[@yohighness]

Awesome animations! The burning question is, how many launches will be needed to carry all those thousands of tonnes of heavy machinery? Are the current heavy-lifters from Space X configured to carry such loads?

[@waxilliumladrian]

If you watch Interviews with Mars experts from NASA, we are far more steps behind thinking about the number of space vehicles needed. There are still problems we don't have solutions for. The Starships would likely be to heavy to land on unprepared Martian ground and the distribution of mass and the idea of the current Starship designs we know of could not possibly be unloaded on Mars. The energy requirement for such a mission displayed in the video would require an enormous amount of energy. So 10 Starhips would be needed only for solar panels or small nuclear powerplants. The list goes on. Hypothetically a fully Starship could take around 3-10 tonnes of payload to Mars (1,200t Fuel in a Starship, gear-ratio of Mars 226:1) But you need to Land the Starship on Mars. Figures I found loosely about the dV of a Starhip fully tanked in LEO ranged from 6900 to 9000 m/s. To Land on Mars you'd need 4500-6000 m/s, so the payload size reduces by 2/3 for a powered landing of a starship. So I guess 0.5-2 tonnes of Mars-payload for a landed Starship would be a realistic number

[@nellym46664]

I'm guessing the heavy machines, and perhaps everything else will have to be built on the moon and launched from there.

[@waxilliumladrian]

@@nellym46664 This doesn't change the payload calculations in the slightest. Starting from LEO or starting from LLO. It only complicates the tanking of the Starhips after reaching LLO. Usually you'll need to launch 2 Starships in order to fully tank one. Now with Lunar insertion and circulations you may need idk ... 10? Let alone building factories on the moon. That will be a decades operation. Building the equipment there won't happen and would not even be easier for reaching Mars. Nice sci fi idea tho

Hopefully quantum entanglement radio will give instantaneous communication and remote control with the robots. Some tasks or unforseen occurances could be too complicated for robots to handle on their own.
