The Moon may one day be colonized and grow to be covered in domes and bases spanning the entire once-barren surface, a single mega-city sprawling not just over the surface, but deep below too.

Past videos have been very thorough about locations, stationary and mobile structures (ships), and machine evolution. But nailing down near future decisions of humans? Science may not be the biggest wedge of that thought-pie. Don't get me wrong, it's more fun making 50 assumptions that paint a clearer picture. I'm hoping someday for a narrated flowchart of the steps towards a robust civilization in living permanently in space. But it needs to ignore alternate scenarios to stay on track

When it comes to sci-fi building, pretty much every work has an outpost or colony be built out of steel and the interiors are essentially all metal, like they're built with cargo ship construction techniques. No concrete, tilework, linoleum, wood paneling or the sort, just bare metal or some fabric padding and if you're really going for luxury, carpeted floors. Soviet nuclear subs are more luxurious in comparison. I'm pretty sure a future moon colony would use locally sourced "concrete" or sintered 3D-printed regolith materials for bulk construction, metals for reinforcement and polymers for ergonomics.

Concrete is alredy "3d prinred" in its original ancient form. Well, cast, but whatever, has the same flexibility and is vastly more efficient than a layer by layer printerhead technique.

15:07 seems Issac forgot, while the moon doesn't have Earthquakes, it does have Moonquakes, granted not due to tectonic plates like Earth, but instead because of the contractions and relaxing of different parts of the Moon as it orbits the Earth. And before you ask; why doesn't the same happen to the Earth, simple: we have lots of water that takes the brunt of it and so we instead have the tides...

@atk05003 2 жыл бұрын

I suspect we still have contractions and expansions of rock and magma on Earth due to tidal forces, but I would guess those effects are just much less noticeable due to the lower mass of the moon (compared to Earth) and all of the other tectonic activity.

@@spectre111 The tidal expansion and contraction rhythm is due to the Earth's rotation. That's why the high tide/low tide cycle happens almost twice a day. (It's slightly less than twice a day because the Moon orbits around the Earth in the same direction as the Earth's spin.) Based on what little I know about ocean tides and how gravity works, I suspect the tidal effects from the Moon are more significant than those from the Sun, because the Moon is much closer. That means the gravitational influence of the Moon drops off more (as a percentage) across the Earth's diameter than the Sun's influence drops off.

One future "industry" on the Moon I rarely hear mentioned os retirement communities. While we know that living in microgravity is harmful to human health, we really don't know the effects of low gravity such as the 1/6th G on the Moon. In my favorite novel, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Robert Heinlein posited that after a certain amount of time on the Moon people couldn't return to living on Earth. While it is likely humans would find it difficult to return to 1 G, that wouldn't be a problem for a person intending to remain on the moon. Elderly people with various ailments that require canes, walkers, and wheelchairs might find it possible to live much more comfortable active lives weighing only 1/6th of what they weigh on Earth. Like everything else connected to the private space industries, the wealthy will be the first to take advantage. A home on the Moon will certainly cost more than a home in the Villages. But like everything else the costs will come down over time. Of course, the stress of getting to the Moon might be hard on the elderly, at least so long as it requires a rocket launch. But once the get a space elevator built to get people to geostationary orbit, the Moon will become the new Florida.

As half the moon is always in sunlight, you'd have a TON of power at your disposal. Perfect for subsurface habitats, heavy industry, or even exporting power via laser. Just some quick and dirty math showed you could probably get petawatts of production doing something like that assuming 30% efficiency panels.

Wouldn't increasing the Moon's gravity have some pretty major impacts on Earth? Like, I'd assume the tides would get much more extreme if the Moon had the same gravity as Earth, and I don't know enough to guess about specifics, but I feel like it would also impact our rotation

@sciencerscientifico310 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, when contemplating increasing the gravity of the Moon, one has to think about how it would affect the Earth gravitationally. Rather the raising the Moon's gravity across the board, it would make more sense to have rotating 'bowls' to supplement lunar gravity in the habitats. Plus, lower gravity might be better for some people. Not to mention the recreational opportunities afforded by low gravity and the fact that it would be easier to launch rockets from lunar gravity.

Dome living. The way i see it you would have layers like stated. If i would build one, i would start with two layers in the dome. The external and internal dome to allow for redundancy, reduced stress, and to alert for a breach. The atmosphere between the two domes would be somewhere between vacuum and the pressure of the internal dome. That way if there is a breach, external or internal, it would be easier to detect. The structures inside, such as buildings, will be capable of becoming air tight. Their would be underground tunnels that are also act as an emergency shelter and unseen cargo movement. I'm sure Isaac Arthur talked about this and that's where these 'ideas' are from.

@NullHand 2 жыл бұрын

A big enough dome will lose pressure extremely slowly. At least to bolides that are small enough not to have a kiloton class cratering energy anyway.

The biggest real unknown is how tolerant the human body (especially developing embryos) is to long term low gravity; we know microgravity is bad, and full earth gravity is good, but we don't really know much beyond that; is 1/100th of a G enough? Or does it need to be at least 0.99g to avoid problems? This will affect how big a problem it is to make habitants for long term human colonisation; if we are fine with no additional gravity, long term operation on the moon is much easier. If we need extra gravity to avoid health/reproductive problems, it means rotating habitants on the moon, which is doable but a higher barrier to startup.

Question: Would increasing the weight of the moon effect the orbit of the earth and moon and their relationship with the sun. Isn't there a balance of the order of the planets and their moons?

@paulrhome6164 2 жыл бұрын

There would be affects, but much less than the tidal effects on Earth due to the distance involved. I haven't followed Isaac's advice on Skillshare classes yet, so I can't calculate the effects off hand, but I would think the mass would have to change by orders of magnitude before we would have to worry about nudging things further from the Sun to compensate.

@@paulrhome6164 do you believe that by whatever method to increase the amount of gravity on the moon could have an effect on the orbit of the moon around the earth and the earth around the sun. The solar system has a balance and changing gravitational force on any planet or moon would possibly change the orbit of the moon around the earth as well as the tides of the oceans.

@paulrhome6164 2 жыл бұрын

@@peacepoet1947 He mentioned the tidal effects and the possible need to correct for them. But just as the much larger distance from the Sun makes its gravity much less of a factor in Earth's tides than the moon is, it would take a much larger proportional increase in mass, especially since we're just talking about increasing the Moon, for the Earth/Moon system's orbit around the Sun to be affected to any similar degree.

@MoCsomeone 2 жыл бұрын

@@peacepoet1947 you would have to adjust the distance from earth the moon is if you wanted to maintain the tidal forces. The impact on the whole solar system would likely be negligible. Think about it, there have been tim a every single planet was lined up in a row and all's still well

@@paulrhome6164 I'm just asking what type of obital changes would be happening should we increase the theoretical weight and mass of the moon? I did watch the video. I threw in the tides to add to the possible process what would happen "if"?

@tomcavness 2 жыл бұрын

Wouldn't changing the moon's gravity have an affect on how it interacts with Earth? Perhaps even affecting its orbit? Seems like it would definitely have an affect on Earth's tides...🤔 Oh, nevermind...you addressed that. I should have known you wouldn't leave that out.

Thank you so much for your video! I love your refreshing, polite and optimistic tone. I think your mixture of possible with science and imagination adds so much and is so valuable! thank you. Not sure if anyone will read this but if we had that many people on the moon we could have a mixture of industry and recreation, habitable micro environments that are like pocket historical periods or theme park type things that we could create. There is no limit with that type of energy and resource transformation.

Once an established city on the moon it would most likely to become a way station to help terraform other planets first. A staging ground, and mining ground, to utilize resources to terraform Mars and Venus. Mined for fuel and resources to get to Mars. Other materials mined could be stockpiled and then sent to Venus to help to neutralize Venus atmosphere.

Easy mode would be to add 200 km diameter solenoids generating magnetic fields on each pole creating a global magnetosphere and/or a few 20 km ones on major city locations. creating local magnetospheres. Add a few 2 km tracked centrifuges at each population center. These allows a few hours at 1 g for gym, dining, bathing spars etc. "Re-set the bone growth and blood pressure with your daily gravity fix". Everything else is enclosed archology, domes and lava tubes with artificial light. Power sats, fission, fusion, surface or roof top solar with diverse storage are all option. On the moon the distances are low enough for the night side to be powered by day side solar.
