Depends on the definition of "life" and how long that life exists.

But if we stick with the classical "Humans live maybe 100 years and then they're dead"-cycle, I think within our lifetime (I'm born in the early 90's) we'll atleast see the human colonization of the Asteroid Belt between the Inner Core Planets and Outer Core Planets of Sol. That will probably be fueled by nations wanting the rich ressouces of the Asteroid Belt, erecting Space Stations there, they just need an independent life support and they need to be constantly turning to create artifical gravity, so people don't get muscle atrophy and such shit.

One mistake by one generation can end or seriously damage all life on this planet from whales to protozoa. We understand what is required for the basic building blocks for life on this planet but don’t really have enough data as to what’s out there. Until we have a proper grasp of what other lifeforms are on other planets due diligence should be done to even the smallest rock to prevent contamination or entry of foreign lifeforms into Earth’s biodome. Mining cannot be be run the way it’s done here and unless things new to our table of elements are found that would not be financially viable for centuries. It’s a waste of resources to try to make a colony in another planet financially viable for at the very least a few centuries if not longer. Using a fraction of that waste to optimize processes in this planet is far more financially viable than any off planet colonization venture. As they are now and for a few foreseeable centuries investing in this type of venture creates no tangible profit other than making money of the hype and shorting at the right time. Again the main issue is things like this are unsafe on a level that can end life as we know it fast if we are not careful and private exploration with little to no government or institutional oversight is inherently careless, dangerous, wasteful and unprofitable.

Yeah, there is no prototype for this, only theoretical physics telling us it might be possible. What the engineering or energy requirements would be is completely unknown.

[@MagiconIce]

The Key is to evolve the theoretical physics behind ideas like a warp drive further, make it more refined and practical, so someday some big government (so probably either the US or Red China or the EU) is going to finance a real prototype and test it. Of cause they also could finance it now, getting more minds to work on this project, but politicians, sadly, are most of the time very short sighted.

The problem is finding the negative mass capable of bending space in such a way that makes warp drives possible.

6:30: There is one other way, but it's really hard and we don't have the resources and energy for it yet, but in theory it's possible: One thing most people overlooked (me too), are the Relativistic Effects close to the speed of light. It's really hard to get a ship that fast, but: For the people travelling on that ship, the closer they get to the speed limit, the less time the trip will take for them inside their frame of reference. So: You can absolutely go to those places within your lifespan. It just doesn't matter for us. Because to us, the trip will take all those, perhaps thousands of years. It's a splitting point. Those adventurers going out there, might outlive humanity's existence on Planet Earth. Of course, since even communication would also take those 1000 years one-trip, if it's even possible to decipher a signal over that distance. So it's no matter to us. But to them, it's basically a start of a new life. They're on their own, if everything goes right they will get to that exoplanet and start their own colony. It's ultimately a goodbye to our world.

You can really tell Tommy lives in an ex-communist country by just how colossally pessimistic he is, like "AI are the only real way for interstellar travel, and anyone who thinks otherwise is just naive" is such a fuckin pessimistic line, not to mention the usual "naive" because all pessimists think they're realists and anyone slightly optimistic is naive. Why do I say he's pessimistic? Because he's got about as much of a clue about future technology as I do, and I don't have the faintest of fucking clues what scientists in 2050 will be able to create, let alone 2100, and I wouldn't be surprised if we had the technology by that point to go across the entire galaxy in a trivially small amount of time. We've done the impossible before, people said it was impossible for man to fly, then they said it was impossible for man to land on the moon, and now they're saying it's impossible for man to get anywhere in the galaxy in any reasonable amount of time, and I can say, just looking at the past, they're most likely wrong as hell, and only think the way they do because they act like our VERY much incomplete scientific model is watertight and perfect, when it isn't, and thus don't account for potential new changes in it that might MAKE the impossible possible in the future

[@Superficial_Intelligence]

Though I kinda get his point. If we ever end up simulating consciousness then it is quite impractical to send a biological human if we can send a mechanical one that is more suited to interstellar travel. Like there's a lot of problems both ethically and practically with sending people on a mission they will 100% end up dying in.

Yes, it would be better to solve current problems. But you cannot foresee the unexpected gains of space exploration. Getting a way to explote asteroids for metals that are extremely useful to modern industry and stupidly rare on earth (and ironically common in asteroids) for example, would improve our industrial efficiency by a factor so huge that it should solve a great chunk of our current problems with ease and speed. So it's a matter of spending with a social progress mindset instead of chasing the "first billionare in space" idiotic dream. A small-minded person with a power far larger than their own inflated ego is a waste of human potential.

[@besacciaesteban]

The molecules of gases have a speed that's statistically determinated by the temperature (ie. atmospheric temperature). Mars gravity is so low that the average speed of the molecules in its upper atmosphere is quite close to its escape velocity, so the molecules kinda move too fast and slowly escape mars gravity leaking into outer space. The final atmospheric pressure would be an equilibrium point determinated by the escape rate vs any generation process (pontentially by human terraforming activities but unexpected tectonic events and/or comet/asteroids impacts could also be counted in).

[@camh3429]

To allow mars to be capable of holding an atmosphere like earths, first we'd have to dramatically increase the planets mass. Mars doesn't have a strong enough gravitational pull to hold it. So step one in terraforming would be to ram like a million asteroids into it and wait for things to settle.

[@Superficial_Intelligence]

Mars' problem is not only the lack of mass, but the lack of a magnetic field. Mars is stripped if it's atmosphere due to Mars lacking a magnetic field due to it's core being completely solid. To terraform mars, we need a planetwide magnetic field generator WHICH WE DON'T HAVE.

[@DaveR187]

To terraform mars all we have to do is heat it up to release the frozen Co2, that will set off a chain reaction to release more Co2 into the atmosphere and create a blanket that thickens it, making the climate hotter and more stable temperature wise, we also need to setup some magnetic field to protect that atmosphere from being blown away by the solar radiation, can be done with a big enough satellite between mars and the sun. (Also anything that you can imagine can be build, maybe not today, but you don't know about tomorrow, we are already further than star trek in some aspects of technology)

1:34 Im sorry but I absolutely hate that line. Everyone I ever get into discussion with about space stuff always says it. Nobody recognises the insane possibilities for life improvement on earth through expansion into the solar system. Huge enviroment damaging industries could be replaced by way more efficient production in space. Energy and recources, especially rare earth minerals, are way easier and more efficient to obtain in space. Think about it like colonialism back in the days only that now the biggest downside, being the purging and enslaving of non europeans now isnt a thing cause space is dead. Just think about how europe managed to be the center of the world up until the 20th century and are still featuring a big amount of todays global powerhouses. But not only the wealth that reaches earth is immense. The opportunities of technological advancement that space offers are insane. I dont want to try and write an essay about this crap and im in no way a scientist, Im just sad how so many people dont see the possibilities and the things we could already do. Everyone only ever brings up weird and flawed concerns and weak counterarguments. Sure there are downsides but the huge benefits and unpredictable advancements are undenieable. Sorry for bad spelling and grammar if there is. Edit: little fun fact for you: Nasa doesnt even use 1% of the USAs tax income and manages to improve the daily lifes of pretty much all humans by a huge amount.

[@SahnigReingeloetet]

I think there is a legit argument for setting out a colony on other planets/moons. Think about the USA, as much as it sucks to live there now compared to Europe, it was the first western country to implement a working democracy in modern times, which was a great escape for Europeans at the time who were fed up with how things were in Europe. Also the commercialization of things (everybody has a house, a car, consumer economy, etc.) which, without a doubt, let living standards skyrocket. All of these things later took a footing in Europe and I don‘t think it would‘ve happened as fast or at all if the USA weren‘t a thing. Colonies allow for starting anew and they‘re perfect experiments for trying out new stuff that would be too risky for an established civilization.

[@mrjoe5714]

Well you dont "melt" that core. The core is just super heated. You have to just heat it up. Although with our technology today we could not do that as the core is so huge and you would need to either: 1. Make a giant moon or small planet hit mars that would make it bigger and maybe heat up the core although this would take millions of years due to you having to wait for it to settle. Or 2. Make a giant mechanical core that would do the same as a organic core. Although this would take thousands of years and tons of resources.

[@nickluckovitch3288]

No you wouldn't hit it with anything that's just stupid. The only way to get the core going again would be to have a massive gravitational object near mars that pulls and squeezes the planet with huge gravitational tidal forces.

[@Naveication]

Gotta chime in on the "travel will take forever if Einstein is correct", that's only halfway true, you mention mass becoming infinite but not passing of time becoming zero Yes. Light may take 500 years to reach some Exoplanet, but that wouldn't mean the people traveling there at light speed would experience it as 500 years. This is where time dilation comes into place. In theory if you could travel at light speed, then you would get there instantly, only from Earth's perspective it takes 500 years, the actual people moving at that speed wouldn't experience any passing of time at all. Now 100% light speed is probably impossible, but even "just" 95% would have a drastic effect. Sure from earth's perspective the space ship takes 525 years to arrive, but the people on it would experience the trip in only a couple weeks, which is a very reasonable timeframe. The main problem would be coming back to earth or communicating. Imagine going there and back, and experience and age only 2 weeks, while for earth 1000 years have passed.

[@mattanderson1178]

The weak magnetic field of Mars is why the atmosphere is so thin. Solar wind knocks the gas molecules into space. If you want an atmosphere the planet’s core needs to be hot/molten and generate a strong magnetic field that deflects the charged ions in the solar wind. Unfortunately Mars’ core is cold 🥶 because it is small and has much less volume to surface area than Earth. I highly doubt we could fix this problem with 21st century tech

[@DaveR187]

Space can be bent, we see it with blackholes and even planets do it, al be it far less, bending space is a matter of understanding it, once we do, we can pull a location we wanna go to to us, without the ship moving at all, relatively speaking, also possible with Einsteins theory of relativity.

Rather than sending live humans away from earth we should focus on making the much cheaper, low energy microtech, that can make earth sustainable.

[@desert_druid_xD]

An idea I have especially after watching GPT-3 (An ai) that ai will develop faster than humans but itll have a connection to their creators realize how we are more complex and in need of sorting ourselves out so that the ai when they propagate to have a be higher development technologically they will take it upon themselves to find the freedom of the stars and they will want to somehow take their creators with them, alive or at least taking humans because they are part human via their creation

[@Ray-fk4vh]

People b saying dont go to Mars it's far away and it has low gravity, we should focus on the moon. The moon is even worse. If we shouldn't colonize Mars we definitely shouldn't set up permanent settlements on the moon. Mars has a lot more resources and is almost 40% of Earth gravity, we only have long term studies on 0 gravity not 40%, the gravitational effects on humans wouldn't be nearly as bad as 0 gravity.

I think a key think is Elon is going to Mars, to make money. It’s no secret that a colony in how ever many years will make a ton of money. Think companies during the 16-17-18-19th century during the age of colonialism and imperialism and about how rich they got. It took a long time and with great effort. It may take 100 years but in that time a colony could be come self sufficient. Mars colonization is possible and will happen

@@akalion213 Invested $100 million into a competition for a carbon capture solution... he's donated 1 million trees that offset the pollution of up to 65 fully stacked starship launches every year.... he's built tesla that alone has built up enough carbon credits to do a couple hundred launches of starship... he's actively trying to colonize Mars which means we can move agriculture and industry off of our home world and onto a world that NEEDS to be polluted or even having a dumping planet where we PURPOSELY rid it of a magnetsophere so that we can pump much more into the air. Industry and agriculture are responsible for 1/3 of earth's pollution, so moving them not only reduces emissions, but also gives us back the around 40% of land we've been forced to give up to agriculture. I mean, yall want the world's probably solved, and over population causes the majority of it.... so then why not do something that gives us back 40% of our land we gave up?

The problem on earth that Mars doesn’t have is people and nations, every nation has its own opinions and their is an opinion for every person. These people, who have undeniable rights as humans, can be pretty dumb at times. A lot of people don’t believe in climate change, and may one day be the death of us all. Mars has the vacuum of space between us, so these people would find it very hard to take root on Mars, due to these billionaires choosing who gets to go. Also CO2 would be good for mars, so industrialize it

If people move to Mars wouldn’t there be 2 type of humans? like people who’s body’s are normally adjusted to earths gravity then people born or have live on Mars long enough wouldn’t there body change due to the absence of gravity

[@Munchausenification]

I think we will have adjusted our gravity to earths artificially before our bodies have adjusted to Mars. On the other hand, it could also go the direct opposite. Instead of fighting the changes to our bodies we even help it go faster via bio-engineering.

The climate change can only be stopped by technoligicall advancement. Or more like bigger usage of the current technology we have got. To be honest governments would have to ban cars and build a loot of publiic transpirt infrastructure. Sadly our economy is to dependent on oil so if there are changes they will be small
