Jim Jimmy Big time recommendation Jim. Nice one

That's a good set of questions. You could use about the same with others Space related guests

Biggest issue is now political. Homogenous corrupted/perverted corporate philosophies are gaining traction exponentially due to the removal of key laws+protections #RestoreRuleOfLaw #FreeAssange #TULSI2020

สวัสดีครับ

Well said 👍

Forget about it. You'll get to watch the moon mission in HD. That's it for you.

Bianca A. - There's art to data science - It might not necessarily be a “Mars Vacation”, unless you have time for a LONG (27-30 month) vacation.

That's why it's good for humanity to have different kind of people. And all this Mars ideas are not so smart. We'll have to burn stupid amount of fossil fuels to get their. Interstellar missions is a job for small and light robots.

@@MrBirgerB Isn't watching moon landings on TV "so last century" (except for the HD part)? 😁Surely we'll be able to do much better than that when it comes to the next successful moon missions. I expect to at least have some kind of VR way of experiencing those explorations.

@@TraditionalAnglican Give me a treadmill, access to a decent number of good e-books, and a good laptop with Python on it, and I'm OK with a three year long vacation. At least in theory. 😁

Peter Cohen Love guys like you too who become aware and stay aware

@@skierpage Yes, everything starts here on earth. But eventually we need to determine if these tools work in the environments they're designed to operate in. There are a number of environnmental variables that can't be accounted for in space, as opposed to earth based simulations of low atmosphere environs.

Antoine Dennison - You might want to go to the Mars Society website or look at Mars Direct - www.marssociety.org/concepts/mars-direct/ www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Mars-direct-A-simple%2C-robust%2C-and-cost-effective-Zubrin-Baker/644f3a1eb49cbecf7b7e2ef987ab3f6389d822ee www.nasa.gov/pdf/376589main_04%20-%20Mars%20Direct%20Power%20Point-7-30-09.pdf spacenews.com/35865curiositys-radiation-results/ bigelowaerospace.com/ m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bc6brdmgtLClZXk.html www.aispacefactory.com/marsha www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4470275/ www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Method-to-maintain-artificial-gravity-during-for-Martin-Landau/fe8fd11a51f01e2ebedfed840243afdb75c6e9ad www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0094576516303988?via%3Dihub

Yeah, would be sure to buy that👍 A great idea

Yes totally. Of course moonstreams could be automated. I want to see moonstreamers. Actual people paying for their moon habitat with live video.

It is expensive, and not rapid gain in going back there, and without the fear of war moving you, we chilled, but in the near future ( 2-4 yrs) we'll have a great capability of delivering cargo and people cheaper, so it will happen in this new decade. But definitely, we could already have one.

It's because space exploration takes serious long term commitment. If you don't want to spend significant portion of GDP employing million of people to push forward like in Apollo era it means you have to focus on the goal getting out there by any means. That is, put in the work instead of satisfying the job machine in every state that keep working on old reusable technology just to drop it in the ocean. Yeah, I'm talking about SLS. Then every 4 or 8 years comes new administration, scraps the old program and relaunched new one with the old parts, changing goals so often doesn't really help. Ideally you would have NASA researching tech like propulsion, life support, insitu resource extraction and then support the commercial sector in finding most efficient and quick way to implement that in real products. That kind of works already. SpaceX lives thanks to government contracts to both deliver cargo and people and also to implement new tech like raptor getting funded by the army. And saves a ton of money against old space companies sucking the tax money comfortably without much innovation.

Biosphere 2 proved that maintaining a closed ecosystem is much harder than imagined in Sci-Fi books. Nobody wants to live in moon just to get sick and die.

Because we have been lied to

Jan Tichavský - You’re right except for the part about spending a significant portion of our national GDP - We’re spending almost as much in inflation adjusted dollars as we did in the 1960’s - We’re just not getting any return on the investment for the reasons you cited. Comparing expenditures as a percentage of the Federal Budget won’t work because our Federal Budget is a much higher percentage of our GDP than it was in the 1960’s.

Exactly - when does the Orion fly - crewed - this year ? next year ? the year after ? But Mars by 1983 ... sure.

Regardless of the history, though, it seems the idea of using the innovation of subcontractors is the most viable way forward - and NASA still has a function in organisation, PR, and human factors.

NASA have cooperated with companies as Lockheed Martin for a long time

Nothing because it's overhyped and not a very big deal

@@cyberpunkalphamale Poor choice of words

Satyendra Kumar - They had 45 minutes, & they were scheduled to talk space exploration & engineering. Lex usually has 1-1/4 - 1-1/2 hours with his guests.

way to make people from philly seem dumb as hell

Antoine Pageau - The water bottles are recyclable, & they’ll know about recycling.

@@TraditionalAnglican So billions of them magically end up creating a new continent in the pacific ocean... My point is lead by example and the better educated among us have no excuse.

Antoine Pageau - The bottles are reusable & recyclable, & the “Single-Stream Recycling” used in many cities makes that even easier, so there is no excuse for any recyclable plastic to end up in any landfill in a developed country. The problems now are 1) Dealing with the plastic pellets used to manufacture products from water bottles to furniture & car parts (as much as 40% of all plastic waste worldwide consists of those pellets), 2) Getting developing countries (what we used to call “3rd World Countries”) to do the same thing with their plastic that we do (40+% of the plastic waste worldwide comes from these countries) & 3) cleaning up the mess that we’ve made. I don’t see how having Dr. Newman not use the water bottle she refills is going to solve any of these problems.
