Then you remember all the other moons since Mars has 2, Neptune has 14, Uranus has 27, Jupiter has 79, and Saturn has 82. And then theres the asteroid belt that has millions of asteroids ranging from the size of cars to the size of small moons. Forget colonizing another solar system our own is still going to be a huge challenge.

One advantage Mars has is natural sunlight, as well as familiar-looking sunrises, sunsets, and a nearly 24-hour day-night cycle. I think for a large number of humans that's going to be important.

Even if this was a realistic near term threat (it isn't and is just a thinly veiled far right talking point), the solution is extremely simple: governments should stop treating their population as a liability but as an asset (because it absolutely is since that's where their taxes come from) and start subsidising child birth. I'm not talking about child support, I'm talking about major financtial and social incentives for having more children. Overpopulation is a complete myth which has been debunked time and time again by both studies and history. People naturally want to have children but have been brainwashed by elites that somehow they're destroying the planet by exercising their natural urge to procreate. This kind of propoganda disproportunately affects intelligent people in reality. All else being equal, having a bigger population is always better.

@@jbtechcon7434 The far right believes whatever is convenient for themselves. You shouldn't be surprised to find self contradiction within a fundamentally narcissistic world view. They will celebrate their own family values but will freely admonish developing countries and immigrants for supposedly breeding like rabbits. I was more referring to the myth of resource scarcity and the notion that all nations need to fundamentally scrap over those resources which is absolutely a right wing position. Prior to the first world war, there were books being published by German intellectuals that were already claiming that war is inevitable because there is not enough natural resources within mainland Europe to sustain the rapidly exploding population of that time. These beliefs coinciding with the assassination of the Austrian diplomat provided the perfect pretext and motivation to spark the war. One of the central tenets of the Nazi world view was that Germany needing more breathing space to sustain it's population. Modern day Germany in contrast has a far larger population than it had in the 40's with a higher standard of living and with less territory to boot. This has not stopped but has now taken on the new rationalization in the form of climate change. Maybe, I should expand it to encompass the right wing in general including supposed centrists who think - or wilfully misinform others - that the most effective way to stop the environmental degradation of our planet is to guilt trip individuals to use less polyester bags as opposed to cracking down on the ecological rape being performed by multinational corporations which benefit CEO's. These are also the same people who whine about the deficit when it comes to social programs but don't bat an eye when the government bails out corporations for trillions. This is the neoliberal/neoconservative world view and aside from differences of opinion on social issues, I find it difficult to tell them apart economically and certainly in terms of foreign policy.

I liked your observation about mars. I and many other Cylinder-heads agree. There's not much for reasons to colonize mars, except... a whole lot of other people want to do it! It's the "prove a point" colony, to deal with the gravity well and terraforming issues, just to have the planet itself under our belt. I do like the idea of terraforming mars eventually, anyway. It can give us a second natural biosphere as a backup to earth, in case of unstoppably big meteor strike or other cosmic catastrophe. I wouldn't make it first priority, but I would call it a crucial part of the plan. If other people want to do it ASAP, that's their personal journey to follow.

14:10 hmmm. landing on a mass-driver, good idea, you could use one for regenerative deceleration of a spaceship and transfer the power via superconductors to another one to start a ship of equivalent mass. that would dramatically reduce the amount of energy required as you only have to compensate for the energy loss of such a system. PS on colonies without atmosphere

The US population was only 2.5 million in 1776, and it was only 150 years or so after the Mayflower had arrived in 1620, when they decided they'd had enough of being a colony! Please think about doing a video about how the politics of a space colony might evolve over time. It clearly doesn't take long for the social dynamics to change dramatically. Thank you.

Real Life Experiments we could do. Imagine we next year convince 1,000 people to go to 3 places on Earth starting a civilian outpost and then grow it into a small city/town in each location. They are given 10 years with only emergency "drops/care packages" that would be in line with the orbital alignment of Earth and Mars and the people are a mix of varying demographics and skillsets. They cannot leave, even for medical emergencies they have to deal with it there and use their resources. 1 - The most remotest part of the Sahara - experiment on how to thrive without easy access to water and highly contrasting temperatures despite breathable air 2 - The south pole - experiment on how to thrive in subzero temperatures with 6 months of night (how to grow food via hydroponics) 3 - Chernoybl - Build anti-radiation equipment and buildings, allowing people go outside only in suits and limit them to a 5km radius. These would be very expensive but would really permit us to really see how difficult it is. IF we couldn't do this even for ethical reasons then the off world colonial plans are still Science Fiction. Would we thrive on the most extreme environments on our own planet? If we cannot do that then colonies are next to impossible because the problems are exponentially greater. Novelty is not enough.

Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage). But the good thing about why this all matters, is that any wifi device, can be in powered. Their could be more computing power, by computers in far off lands, without direct active management by the users own device's. The cloud’ can also refer to cloud computing, where several server's are linked together to share the load. This means that instead of using one single powerful machine, complex processes can be distributed across multiple smaller computer's. So basically a limited device, is not limited to it's own hardware any further, it can expand to operate from the cloud, or internet. You would only need a WiFi connection, or smart device, to operate from the cloud. Also cloud-based server's run across multiple cloud configured server's, so you have the ability to upgrade whenever you want to. One of the advantages of cloud storage, is that there are many distributed applications, patches and driver updates. That can be managed from one location, so less work is required. So you could link up a bunch of smart device's together, to work together in sync. I say all this because, the technology should be well enough, if connected to a cloud network, device's could out do and perform complex task. Where high computing capability is needed, or required to achieve such goal.

It seems like if the gravity isn't high enough you could build habitats like roulette wheels. You could live and sleep in their higher "gravity" to make up for working in lower gravity. It occurs to me that if you have sports in them they couldn't have regular fields. They would have to be like racquetball because of the coriolis force.

@isaacarthurSFIA

Indeed, we've looked at that idea before, but they are less roulette wheels than deep vases, it's only on planets where the gravity is already close to Earth's, and where you probably don't need supplemental gravity, that a shallow bowl shape rotating settlement would work, rather than a narrow deep one

i had an idea for a form of artificial habitat i'm not sure if would work due to solar winds though suppose domed could be preferable. not sure if has been thought of yet. one that leaves less of a problem of sideways sensation and structure strain from the spin being so close to center point. start with two discs, parabolic to contain the atmosphere required with surrounding mountains and/or domed would work fine...also might be able to focus solar energy for passive power. using an active tether design attach them together from the discs center point so that looking up you're seeing the ground of the other disc. the entire bottom could be used for solar collection and ship docking and probably passive light and windows for the interior. spin them from the center point of the tether so that they pull away from the opposite disk at a distance and speed that would balance between roughly 24 hour day/night cycle and 1 g downforce. probably more than two could be put on each center point and you could chain them together side by side creating something like a long sturdy tube as the center of spin axis which could be used as a large ship dock, mass driver, maybe other things like 0g space for industrial purposes. if you're having trouble picturing it imagine your ceiling fan with ropes instead of blades and your habitat discs at the end being held out by the spin. then imagine that you stack them over and over as close as safely possible as needed. could be expanded almost indefinitely. Working name being a Gravity-Chain Habitat. Thoughts? did someone beat me to that?

I was watching the rotating asteroid at 5:37. I wonder how many of those asteroids would fly apart if spun to approximate 1g considering that none of them have anything close to 1g in actual gravitation and unless they were part of an earlier collision of large bodies, they probably are just slowly accumulated cold regolith.

I think you did something on penal colonies. A variation of Australia.

In a thoroughly colonized solar system it seems like Mars would be destined to be the most self-sufficient major population center. It has massive volcanic planes with easy access to lucrative veins of many metals (common and rare), plenty of water for human colonies (just not planet wide) and even resources available to help with manufacturing some more breathable air. I'd imagine Mars would want to exchange processed goods with settlements on the Outer Planets in exchange for their frozen gases and water strictly for long term terraforming needs.

I know you tend to avoid talking about the real-world status quo when it comes to social issues and politics, but I'd love to get your take on how we go from the current legal framework that governs how nations behave in space (the Outer Space Treaty), to something like you describe in your video here. On my channel I've been looking at how private industry's involvement has changed the equation for space expansion, and how the current legal models are severely out of date, but your experience in this area is exponentially larger than my own. How likely are we to see SpaceX become the first megacorporation? Do you think we'll see nations grab slices of sovereign land on Mars, the Moon, or Venus?

Space projects are suggested to be launched from political economy at first, because private companies won't be fruitful if there are not enough multilateral agreements. Outer space projects are highly rely on the government-military-private cooperation due to new space environment and settlements selections.

i feel like most of mars export will need to be immaterial... at least at first, because mars will be a net importer of ressources so i could see a planet of traders, developpers scientists etc....

hey gold can build things, especially alloys. dont forget you need gold and other precious metals to create electronic components and connectors, and is quite valuable as one of the better metals for electronics not being reactive to the environment. we mostly moved away from in a supply sense though its no less useful and needed in many cases.

So much of this could be refined once we have a gravity lab in orbit.
