I hate when youtubers do this, I want new information, not a history lesson. Thank you for saving my precious time!

Great idea 👍

I have been hoping this would happen in the next, what 20 years or so? Or do you think in 10 years? I heard one of the major aerospace companies have a contract to build a nuclear thermal engine.

Agreed. The best spacecraft for transit between Earth and Mars should be built and left in orbit. These 'liners' should include rotating habitats to maintain gravity. Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors are the most compact and efficicient choice for power on Mars and in space.

​@@classic_sci_fi yep I thought of the same thing

I think your idea is great too. Might take maybe 10-15 years to really get Lunar or Mars mining going; some orbital factories and stations in space; appropriate communications and navigation technologies, standards, and rules. Nations, corporations, academia and non-profits (along with space police and militaries), etc. will want their own places and stuff. The road to Mars (and asteroids) will be paved with good intentions as usual. Intentions/purposes/policies will be more important; transport technologies - then like now with cars, boats, and planes - will be taken for granted.

@Landon-si5xc Your address is easy to find. You're in a half way house for morons.

I have read the bible, the Quran, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, The Tibetan book of the Dead, The Book of Mormon, along with a many others and they all tell me they are right. So I ask you, what makes your book any more truthful than any of the others?

NASA doesn't need musk anymore than they did in the past. Elon is only able to do what he does because of NASA giving him money

​@Landon-si5xcallah doesn't exist bow before Jesus Christ not mohhamed that had 9 year old wives

100%!!!! I’ve been working in the Aerospace industry for the past 18yrs and NASA don’t build anything, all they do is contract companies to get the job done while they clamp the results and since they are funding the research they get to keep the patents of the inventions… NASA is just a bank funding the projects haha

Funny: he must get his news from CNN. Twitter trounced Zuck's piece of shit, is running just as efficiently on 70% less staff, and has began to restore free speech. How that isn't "running Twitter" is beyond me.

That's exactly his point. If he can't do something that's been in trial and error for years now, how can we trust them to successfully CONTINUE the mission on mars? There's a LOT more to it than hiring scientists only to do this mission. You need all kinds of different specialties that people often don't thing of such as therapists, politicians, and other things that make the earth work to make this mission work.

@@boialkleptopod9165 Twitter was losing money for many years. Elon just bought it 9 months ago. He gutted it and is in the process of rebuilding it. Venture capitalists take years to restructure failing companies after they buy it. Elon has only owned it for 9 months and most vc takerovers are not as bad and toxic as Twitter. To make that comment means that neither you nor the author know anything about the process. As for Mars, no human has ever set foot on the planet. It's a massive undertaking with no previous blueprint for success. No one else on the planet is even remotely close to achieving what Elon has done with SpaceX. So, I think that the comparison is beyond ridiculous.

@@boialkleptopod9165please don’t tell me you’re serious?

Haha, I guess that comparison might seem a bit like comparing apples to rocket engines! Running Twitter and creating a Mars colony are definitely on different ends of the cosmic scale. One involves virtual conversations in 280 characters, and the other involves launching rockets, building habitats, and sustaining life on another planet. But hey, in the realm of imagination, who knows what kind of cosmic connections we could make! 🚀🐦🪐

Definitely. Growing up we camped in our backyard long before going out in the wilderness. I think they have tried two biodome-type environments on Earth and they both failed. I think they would learn a lot on the Moon. Look how much Elon has learned working and modifying rockets over the years. What makes them think they will get most of the kinks out before "living" on Mars. Neil and Buzz were almost stranded on the moon because of 1 switch that somehow broke off needed to launch the return orbital capsule.

The thing you’re missing is that nasa is already planning a moon base within the next decade

I don't see it as an either this or that situation. Similar to what JFK said we can put man on Mars and do these other things as well.

@@garybranigan9238 seems like a giant waste of money to me, the worlds on fire so we should spend trillions on some space adventure? doesnt seem right as long as we have homeless veterans and hungry kids, let alonr hurtling towards ww3 at the same time

Then I am confused. What is it you are looking for on this channel??? Serious question, not at all a rebuke.

@@garybranigan9238 for starters, a justification of the cost of such an venture in light of current world happenings, it would seem to me that frugality would be the order of the day in making a moon base first, as opposed to some pie in the sky super expensive mars goal, taxpayers foot the bill for this kind of stuff, because even if spacex comes up with a plan, you can bet the bloated government bureaucracy of NASA will have their hand all in it inflating the cost 100 fold, as they have consistently in the past, so, aiming a bit lower may make the goal a little less obscene in light of the current status of things, and be easier to sell to the people paying for it

At leas NASA is realistic. Elon famously announced that in 2022 there would be several cargo ships landed on Mars in preparation for a manned landing in 2024, yo must agree with SpaceX there’s ALOT OF HYPE with little substance. In reality SpaceX hasn’t even managed a successful launch of their Mars capable vehicle

All talk no action SpaceX didn't do even half of what Nasa accomplished

Artimis needs to be built first, NASA wants to test how human body's react outside of earths magnetic field before going out. Starship needs to go to mars first bringing in gear etc.... its going to be 10 years of sending shit to mars before boots on the ground.

@@SpruceMoose-iv8un we are not sending people to mars....lol

SpaceX will not be able to fund a Mars Mission and no one is going to want to live there once reality of what that entails is realised.

Well, imagine Twitter as a roller coaster. Advertisers were like, "Whoa, this ride's getting a bit too political for our taste!" and decided to hop off. But hey, the roller coaster itself is still zipping along, loop-de-loops and all. So while some passengers got off due to the political twists, the roller coaster is still running smoother than a penguin on ice!

Lets hope AI doesn't take that from us.

I agree with you there my friend 😊

They are.

"we can't tell how terrestrial materials will interact with the martian atmosphere, climates and gravity" lol it's not like we're going to another dimension dude. Ofc we can simulate and test these things here.

@@1Meter a simulation is a prototype. Until you do it in situ you don't know how it will actually work. How does concrete in -100F temp in CO2 on a third our gravity set? How porous is it. How hard does it get? How strong does it get? How do dust storms interact with it? What kind of damage does the dust do in 100 km an hour winds? How does martian gravity affect our assumptions? You can do math all day long only to find out it doesn't work as expected. We can simulate everything but the gravity. Here on earth you can only do earth gravity or 0-gee.

Mars has many challenges, but water is not one of them. The NASA Curiosity Rover found compelling evidence that Mars once had water flowing on the surface, when the atmosphere was denser. And the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took photos of a canyon wall where, between orbits, a fountain of underground water spewed out into the atmosphere and fell on the nearby terrain, making what we all a spring here on Earth. The orbiter second pass photos showed a region of frozen snow and water ice below this momentary eruption of underground water. The volume of water was big enough to be photographed from space. If I were an astronaut looking for water, I would start drilling in that area. Also, send a bunch of robots with scoops and water tanks to the South Pole of Mars, where billions of tons of water ice are just sitting on the surface, waiting to be scooped up, melted and poured into tanks for reuse elsewhere. The North Pole, however, is mostly dry ice, so not a good source of water, as far as we currently know. Long story short: There is water all over Mars, under the surface. Notably, under the surface is also a good place to build habitation that is safe from cosmic radiation, Mars windstorms and solar wind or solar flare events. So, as long as we're digging under there anyway, we might as well do near known water sources. Would such water sources be cheap and easy? No. Will the water be contaminated by some nasty minerals? Probably. But these things can be investigated by robotic missions now in design and construction phases of development.

On Australia the people had oxygen to breath, had sources of fresh water, had wood to make houses and they had animals to eat and a non poisonous soil to plant crops and other food.

Why is it important to fly more often than the 26ish month window?

@@richard--s Yes, "colonization" does mean sourcing your water, air and most of your food from in situ resources. That's an engineering problem. There is water and the elements needed to grow food on Mars. That has nothing to do with transit times. That's why you need to send so much equipment, to use the resources.

I think we need to produce a magnetic field over the future settlement spot first.

​​​​​@@digitalnomad9985 how do you get rid of the calcium perchlorates in the Martian soil, which is toxic to humans? Oh, and it's not just toxic when it's digested from vegetation grown in it but also when it's inhaled or through contact with a person's skin.

If something goes wrong its like going to the Moon you just can't sling-shot around Mars and come back !

why should human beings do that? let the squirrels be in charge

yes we want astronaut squirrels, Chip And Dale, they would be perfect to prove that there is intelligence on this planet@@turnipsociety706

@@larryfulmer opinion

Have you read the Robert Heinlein novelette "The man who sold the moon"?

"Imagine also putting a little oxygen into the hydrogen " I have fielded that idea a few times, into deafening silence. inject the O2 immediately as the megasuper heated H2 exits the reactor. You are also adding the extra weight for the O2 tanks and handling system of course, so the benefits must be overwhelming.

@garybranigan9238 you are on the right track. I had the same idea, as a nuclear reactor can separate water into rocket fuel and oxygen without the need of a cryogenic system, burn that as rocket exhaust and then use the nuclear channels to blast it out even further. Not to mention it would then be ionized and you could use the same reactor generator to give it more thrust with magnetic coils, like a magnetic flux bell nozzel.

Hit land THAN, not hit land then.

Yes, here we are, still on Earth.😂

@@huibu8987 Why?

@@huibu8987 I want someone to just once give me more than feelz as to why Mars should be done in tandem or before the moon.

Moon dust gets everywhere just like sand at the beach................................

@@helmsleyy the dust on Mars is no better and we've already figured out how to get rid of it. It was so sticky because of static electricity. Which can be easily grounded and then brushed off.

The answers to these questions are suggested by looking at incremental improvements upon established US launch policies and designs. For (1) Who is accountable? The launch system owners (one or more--can be several companies, as seen with ULA or various Arianespace collaborations) share joint responsibility with the launch site regulatory agency (thus the launch site nation. In the US, the FAA certifies spacecraft, and has commissioned several space ports which have yet to drop failing boosters on population centers. This is why Nasa chose to launch from the Florida Space Coast and launch vehicles in an easterly initial trajectory--over deep ocean. So, briefly, ensure that all nuclear launches use launch sites adjacent to oceans, and with strict regulatory oversight. As for (2) the risk can be drastically reduced by launching non-fuel nuclear engine component modules, via chemical rockets, as conventional payloads, to assemble in space. But for nuclear fuel payloads, special missions can be designed focusing maximum control and safety attention on just a few vehicles designed with two special features: To carry only the nuclear fuel, in fail-safe containers designed with fail-safe features all the way to orbit. Launch-abort systems would be included, as well as sturdy payload fairings that can handle return to earth from any stage in flight. The actual fuel for a nuclear reactor is a very small mass component of the reactor, so these extremely safe rockets would only be needed for a small fraction of the total interplanetary nuclear vehicle mass. All other components of the nuclear starship can use more conventional and cost-effective rocket launch designs, protocols and cost-saving features, while no component of the nuclear starship would be nuclear-powered during the initial orbital boost. Rapid developments in space-based assembly robots will help mitigate the cost of in-space assembly of nuclear reactors and mating with nuclear starships, and the fact that colonization requires (at least) thousands of these starships will allow initial design cost of reusable space assembly robots to be amortized over many units and many years of service life. The same robots can be transported to Mars orbit, where similar construction tasks would be performed to refit and repair the nuclear rockets, to prepare them to return to earth orbit and be used again. Mars cycler systems to exploit reusability economics have been proposed by several authors, including Buzz Aldrin. So, by these methods, nuclear risks could be compartmentalized and controlled to a level that would never place any populated land mass in danger. One area of current space flight risk not considered by this video, but should be discussed somewhere, is how to handle risky space operations performed by nations which place lower value on individual human lives than western nations typically (not always) do. For example, all US space launches are required by law and regulation to design, test and deploy a process for controlled reentry of major flight hardware components, to prevent hundreds of tons of space junk (for example, the eventual fate of the ISS) from falling in the middle of cities or other population zones. However, China openly announced (and their actions confirm) that they will impose no requirements on their own space program to control or predict the location where their falling boosters, expired space stations and other space junk will return to Earth. They impose no requirements on themselves to ensure safety of either their own nation or other nations, but they are actively building a space station today, actively dropping boosters related to their moon missions, and will continue these risky policies for the foreseeable future. What can or should be done to draw their attention to these risks and convince them to take a more responsible position than their current policy? If a Chinese booster or space station module falls on a school or large residential building, the deceased victims and grieving relatives will have no protection or legal recourse, whether those Chinese space junk bits contain fissionable nuclear isotopes or not.

Nasa has been launching nuclear material into space for years. All the rovers on Mars are fueled with nuclear power. And there are a bunch of probes also fueled with nuclear power

Majority of launches are on the coast and head out over open water…. So little chance going over populated areas on launch.

Yes, as things stand, it's harder, but space is how you access vastly more resources in material and energy, and transfer heavy industry off of Earth. As always, if you don't take the long view, you die. We must drink up the river lest we drown, as the old saying goes.

I'm with ya on that.

It could be possible as it contains iron oxide and other macro and micro minerals in the martian soil, but with today's knowledge of us of space, it is difficult to say anything

martian soil has no nitrogen in it or so Ive heard, 78% of earth's atmosphere is nitrogen, 95% of mars' is co2, so the lack of nitrogen would kill any plant no matter the human or animal waste as fertiliser
