The secret to breathing on the moon | Sarah Cannard | TEDxSydney

The next generation of space exploration is looking to the Moon not only with awe and wonder, but as a site of key resources that we'll need to be able to mine and harness. As one of Australia's leading space engineers, Sarah Cannard and her team of scientists and engineers are developing a rover for NASA's Artemis program, to land on the moon, dig-up regolith (moon dirt) and deliver it for processing to extract oxygen and one day water and hydrogen. Essential resources that astronauts will need to support an ongoing, viable presence on the Moon, and use it as a launchpad to further exploration, including going to Mars. Dr Sarah Cannard is a space systems engineer and scientist with a passion for pushing Australian technology to its limits, and then beyond. For almost two decades she has worked in the Australian Defence and Space industry and is now the Lead Engineer for an Australian Lunar Rover to support a NASA mission to the Moon. She is also at the forefront of deep-tech space research and development in Australia and a Director of a company supporting space startups.
Sarah has been involved with many complex Defence and Space programs including the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) Hayabusa 1 Spacecraft re-entry into the middle of desert in central Australia, hypersonic sub-orbital rocket launches, weapons testing, Moon Rover research, and autonomous vehicle tests and trials. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    The smartest thing that should be on everyone's mind right now should be to invest in different streams of income that are not dependent on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver, and digital currencies (BTC ETH...).

    My concern is that we are no wear close to what Sarah Cannard is stating. I highly doubt mankind for any long term on the moon. Sarah noted how they are trying to build a moon rover that is extremely difficult. This is not even close to humanity being able to be on the moon. Here is the deal. If God wanted us on the moon it would be much easier. We can't even go to the depths of sea due to all it's difficulties. I highly doubt we will see anyone on the moon, "long term" anytime soon. By the way, anytime soon meaning with in 100 years at least.

    Come now, Sarah. You're a scientist and engineer. You said, "If they're lucky, they'll get to watch the earth rise over the lunar mountains." It sounds as if you are saying that you eat breakfast each morning, the sun and the earth come up each day; perhaps you'll have a window from which you can see the earth rise. Uhh, ...no. You should know better than to say something like that. Or maybe I should take that back. Perhaps you included "if they're lucky" because you were thinking of the facts below. If the base is on our side of the moon, where they can see the earth (most bases probably will be), the earth will hang in the same place in their sky continually. They'll get to watch the continents move over the face of the earth daily as it rotates, and day and night slide around the earth monthly (from "full earth" to "new earth"), but the earth won't move across their sky. The only way they'll see it "rising" or "setting" is if their base is on the "edge" of the moon as seen from earth, so that the earth is right on their horizon. It will stay there, but may bob very slowly above and below the horizon because of the moon's three types of libration (apparent wobble.) We earthlings actually get to see a bit more than just 50% of the moon's surface. Viewed from earth, it slightly wobbles, allowing us, over time, to peek around the E-W and N-S edges. They *would* be lucky if their base were positioned where they could see this special type of rising and setting. Was that what you were meaning, and you just didn't express it fully enough?

At least the rate at which other lives are getting extinct, should have slowed down. That did not happen either. In fact it's speeding up.
