Having served on a nuclear submarine that was over 360 feet long, had three decks, both extracted its oxygen and distilled its potable water from seawater, had plenty of storage for food, operated in a gravity present environment, was relatively comfortable, and could surface in an emergency...I sincerely wish the Mars crew good luck with a mission extending beyond a year.

[@kingk2405]

The whole Mars thing is just pure propaganda . There is no way our technology can send humans there . In order to do so we need first to have proper propulsion for our rockets and not a second WW technology in order to reduce the time of the journey because of radiation and lack of gravity . We will need 50 years of first really managing to stay on the moon in order to send people to Mars and during that time AI might be implemented into sophisticated human type robots that can handle the journey and do any job on Mars .

Your trip around Venus, I’m afraid, will be rather disappointing. You won’t be seeing much. What you’ll see are orange, seared cloud tops with occasional flashes of lightning. Nothing more. You won’t be seeing the ground of Venus. There’s no rivers, lakes, or oceans, as it’s a very dry planet, the hydrogen element of it’s water having been stripped off into space eons ago due to the lack of a magnetic field. Venus has an incredibly SLOW retrograde spin that makes it’s day longer than it’s year. Yet there’s no place to escape from the suffocating heat unless you can “float” in the upper reaches of the atmosphere, where it’s cooler and the pressures won’t squeeze you flat.

Going to Venus is better in the first place, closer, floating colonies can be built in the atmosphere, and gravity is very similar to Earths.

[@martinsutoob]

I'm going to challenge the first part of this video - establishing a Moonbase as the initial step. According to this idea, we have to lift all the Mars equipment that we will need out of the Earth's gravity well, drop it into the Moon's gravity well, and then later, when all is ready lift it out of the Moon's gravity well again. But surely if the Mars rocket assembly process was all completed in Earth orbit, we would obviate the extra mass required to get on and off the Moon. In other words, unless you manufacture the propellant and necessary hardware actually on the Moon, you don't win anything by going there first.

[@Fitness4London]

Yes, the Moon will be used as a fuel-manufacturing base, using the Moon's vast supply of frozen water at the poles. So the Moon will not merely be a low-gravity pit-stop. Its low-gravity will of course come in handy for leaving the Moon to go to Mars. It will also make a useful training environment for eventual Mars habitation (which will probably not happen for at least 20 years).

[@martinsutoob]

@@Fitness4London I'm aware of the potential of lunar ice to make rocket fuel, but the video suggests that the Moon's lower gravity will make it easier to launch a Mars mission than it would from Earth - i.e. the whole mission and not just the fuel. But it forgets that the Moon is in the Earth's gravity well too. So you're not just escaping the Moon's gravity. You have to escape the combined gravity of the Earth/Moon system. They will both act to retard your progress. Frankly this is above my level of physics and mathematics expertise, but I think some clever boffins will have to sit down and work it all out properly to find the optimum solution (they probably already have).

[@Fitness4London]

@@martinsutoob Very good point! (incidentally, I'm constantly amazed there have been no further humans on the Moon since the 1972 Apollo 17 mission. A lot more activity on the Moon needed before any manned mission to Mars.)

[@tbartels9821]

Making the station in Earth's orbit means you are still in the grip of Earth's gravity. You're still going to use more fuel to escape that, which means more weight. The idea is to go from the lunar space station, not the moon's surface.

Totally agree, among all the other seemingly intractible problems of actually staying on Mars for over two years. IOWs, we could probably get there, but what about living there for over two years? ISS astronauts that spend more than 6 months on the station come back to Earth totally fucked up! We have no idea how to keep people alive off Earth for 9 months transit to Mars, 2 years and 2 months there, and 9 months return to Earth. The ISS is pretty large, and, with an average of six astronauts stationed there at a time, it has to be resupplied with oxygen, water, food, and medical supplies every MONTH for Christ's sake!

2 years in a tin can? air supply? food? , water? heating, power? radiation shields? All these need to be sorted out just on the way there. Once on Mars, a liveable sturdy domicile with air supply? food? , water? heat? power, radiation shields? Would all need to be erected before the first ship even arrives on Mars. The resource logistics for such a venture, would be critical path to the survival of the crew. If you had sufficient resources to get there , to last the duration of your stay on Mars, and the return journey back to earth, you would only need to worry about everything else that could go wrong. Thus sickness of crew, contagion of unknown viruses, life threatening accidents , malfunctioning of critical systems and equipment, and a myriad of other unexpected things, like meteor storms, dust storms, etc, that could be deadly to the crew. If this venture /mission was truly ever undertaken, the life expectancy, or survival of the astronauts would be minimum. That is , not many, if any, would ever return safely back home to earth alive. There are just way too many deadly factors , any one of them, which could result in a total mission failure. So dream on, and fantasise all you like, but the odds , if you really consider them, are stacked against a successful mission.

Not sure if Mars can be a habitable planet considering that it’s gravity is a fraction to that on Earth, it’s just not suited for human life, It’s probably a better idea to construct Mall-sized living space ecosystems with either centripetal or centrifugal motion to create artificial gravity. We could print the parts in space and assemble it all in space. Sure, do the Mars stations and exploration but gravity is the elephant in the room that needs to be front and center in the continuing need to journey out into the heavens. Without solving Earth-like gravity problem, we might as well scrape the idea of routine long-hall space exploration.

Also, if they did get to Mars alive, what do they propose to do about the incredibly toxic environment there, and continued hard radiation? The seldom-admitted truth about the ISS is that it is actually in the upper fringes of the atmosphere ( that's why it constantly needs to be 'boosted' ) and is well within the protection of the planet. Otherwise it would be a deathtrap. Robots exploring space makes sense. Humans exploring space is idiocy, until the robots find something worthwhile out there.

When mankind will find a way to overcome all it's differences and stop all the bloody wars and quarreling on this planet, when man will get enlightened enough to work together as a team we will find a way to explore space for real. It may still take a while, we are slow learners. His view on things had probably to do with him fighting in WWII. Anyway it makes me happy that there is progress in space exploration.

All this talk about landing humans on Mars is a bunch of hooey. First of all, by doing so, any nation or group of nations would be violating the Outer Space Treaty, which, in one clause, the Planetary Protection Clause,prohibits the contamination by human intrusion of any celestial body. It's astute of you that you mention AI, because AI is how we're going to end up directly and with human control, exploring Mars and other bodies in detail, i.e., through teleorobotics. In other words, (I and others believe), that once we are able to actually proactively explore Mars, we will do so from manned space stations in Martian orbit, with people communicating and controlling robots on the surface in real time. (well, with a split-second delay). Teleorobotics. THAT is the real future of humans exploring pristine, albeit probably dead, worlds. But we don't know for a fact that Mars is dead, and until we do, we have no business or moral or ethical reason to actually land people on the surface, as we will contaminate it with our microbiome. Robots and rovers can be sterilized, humans cannot be!

[@samr.england613]

The idea is that we will one day make rocket fuel on the Moon to refuel ships that have escaped Earth's gravity. The rockets that sent men to the Moon used something like 90% or more of their fuel to escape Earth's gravity. The whole problem with all this is, that by the time we're able to do all this, chemical and liquid-fueled rockets (which are very inefficient) will be obsolete and hopefully replaced by nuclear fusion engines, which are orders of magnitude more efficient, much faster, and require less weight per unit of propulsion energy. Much, much less weight. [edit] Still, making fuel on the Moon is still a viable concept, as we can make fuel for nuclear fusion engines as well, either hydrogen from the ice in the craters at the Moon's poles, or from the Helium 3 that is abundant, though diffuse, in the Moon's regolith.

[@jarivuorinen3878]

@@samr.england613 Chemical rocket engines are going to be very relevant for foreseeable future, there's simply no suitable engine in sight that could lift stuff out from Earth's gravity well and through atmosphere. This is no problem however, water is very abundant on Earth and as long as we have biomass, we can have oxygen, hydrogen and hydrocarbons forever, provided energy to produce this stuff will be abundant too. I also don't see any radioactive engine designs being used in Earths atmosphere anytime soon because there is always the risk of rocket blowing up and polluting air with radioactive particles. Thermonuclear engines could be used between Earth and Mars, once it's made sure that Mars truly is a barren rock. NASA at the moment takes very seriously contamination prevention on Mars with Earth bacteria, and I'm sure they would not want nuclear fallout on Mars at this point in time either. Then there's ion thrusters that are used on interplanetary missions actively even today. There's no reason to freecoast with initial burn from Moon to Mars or vice versa, slap big enough ion thrusters on the spacecraft if you got enough energy generation on board, and you can speed up and slow down with those thrusters.
