For all the people against this for money reasons: for every $1 we put into NASA it creates $7. The technology we will develop in this process could revolutionize food, heating, filtration, navigation, and so much more. This isn’t just an investment in the future, it’s an investment in the present.
And for every $1 spent on the military, how much is it returning? For every $1 not collected from billionaires, how much is going back to help the American people? There is a massive misdirection campaign going on, obscuring the real cause of suffering around the world: the corporate greed necessitated by a capitalist regime.
@@maestrulgamer9695 I'd be interested how long it would take for that ROI through NASA. I know space technology has benefitted Earth based technology, I'm just not clear how long it takes and who has done these figures
Also, investing in nasa doesn't mean you put a crate of 100$ bills inside a spaceship and send them to outer space. People are getting paid to do work and research and this money puts food on their table and is circulated in the economy as they spend it. It certainly doesn't disappear in the black hole of some billionaire's offshore company like other investments the corrupt politicians are more than eager to support.
I don't understand why anyone could get upset at NASA for getting like half a penny for every dollar you pay in taxes or less, when there's so much money wasted elsewhere by the government. On top of the free access R&D, scientific progress in a given field often helps with another at some point, so we may miss out on all kinds of advancements if we never expand into space at all. Also, just mining the moon would open up immense amount of every useful material that wouldn't cost the environment anything, so it's worth that half a penny in my book.

I went to Space Camp when I was a kid & learned that underneath all of the gray dust there is orange soil on The Moon, but because it lacks an atmosphere nothing can grow on it. This was discovered during the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972, which was the last manned mission to The Moon. I also learned that the hardest part about making the moon rover vehicles was assembling the chairs due to their weight. The guys designing the vehicles were on a break sitting in lawn chairs when 1 of them basically said "Let's just slap 2 lawn chairs on the vehicle," & it worked since that's what they used on the vehicles for the next few Moon missions.
Too bad you don’t fully remember what you were told. Apollo 17 found a deposit of orange regolith, but it was discovered to be just a small area created by volcanic lave spewing up away from the surface, rapidly cooling, and falling back to the surface. Only select small areas of the moon had these exact conditions. The entire moon is most definitely not orange under the surface dust. It’s sad when C-students present their misinformation as fact.
I was one of those people who was alive during the Apollo era and watched the 1st lunar landing on TV. Granted, I was only 6 at the time, but it was an incredibly exciting moment. At the time, most of us thought we would already have a permanent moon base, and have landed a man on Mars by now. Unfortunately, that did not happen, but it's exciting to see that it may actually still happen within my lifetime. Fingers crossed 🤞
I was born in '65. Having grown up on Star Trek, I remember being bitterly disappointed to discover that the moon was all the further we had gotten. ngl but this entire timeline has been disappointing & it just keeps getting worse.
@@BobDeGuerre Look at how long it took for top of the line sailing ships to find a reliable path around Earth. This is actually a very quick expansion curve we are on right now. Having a sense of history helps with the whole disappointment issue.

NASA is SpaceX’s largest customer. It’ll get reshuffled but not cut, because cutting NASA’s budget means fewer contracts which is terrible for SpaceX. NASA’s budget cuts are probably coming from SLS getting canceled. Which tbh it should be. $2 Billion per launch is an insane price tag

Awesome video! I interned at Intuitive Machines when they were building their Nova-C lander and got to learn about their Omni heat technology. It really is impressive how much heat it rejects. Now I'm a full time engineer on the Orion program. Videos like these inspire me to do more!
Move fast for what? The moon will always be there. I'm not crazy about our tax dollars going to space programs that aren't improving life on this planet. We are never colonizing Mars or the moon.
I am very skeptical of the long term survivability of a soft skinned pressurized habitat in a vacuum. At that point we're literally relying on luck it doesn't get punctured by multi-thousand km/h sand particles and explode.

Moving society from one stellar body to another does not solve the problems that society has created. Thus the problems we experience here and now will simply be exported the the moon and Mars. So why even both? Spacefaring should be the last of humans priorities yet it's not. And that kinda mentality is why we have the issues we're trying to escape from.
The whole world should support this. We should get the base going asap. I hope they think of ways to deflect space trash and rocks from hitting the moon colony.
Funny story actually, we wanted to create such system during a NASA hackathon but they told us it’s not really an issue and current probability of anything hitting the moonbase is close to 0
It's just another government racket money grab at this point. Tons of money get poured into it for government contractors who overbill for everything until there's nothing left waiting for the next handout.
I only learned about the Artemis missions a few weeks ago and it blew my mind how far into the whole thing they are already. It wouldn't have surprised me if they were only at the planning stages or something and that "we might see it in my lifetime", no, they're already past the first mission and the second mission is NEXT YEAR! Exciting things in humanity's near future!

You should include the temperature in Celsius. Takes you 2 minutes, saves us hundreds of collective seconds. Plus it's the right thing to do for a science video with a global audience.
Curious is starship will take a larger role in Artemis… sls seems to be having a lot of cost increases and delays while starship is changing the whole game while being a small fraction of the price.
There’s a lot of politics at play with SLS development,however it is still the only rocket we have that has proven it can get a spaceship to the Moon and back. Cost increases and delays are a factor of space exploration regardless of who is doing it. NASA experiences this just like commercial companies, how many years did it take for Falcon Heavy or New Glenn? Space is Hard and we shouldn’t take away NASA’s ability and send and retrieve it’s own astronauts in favor of 100% commercialization.
@ money is the big thing. If they use star ship is frees up billions per launch to spend in other areas of the project. Plus they’re not wasting talent developing a rocket and can focus on other mission objectives.
Ok. your probably thinking.. “Why are we making moon bases when we can just.. terraform it?” But actually, the moon is quite a meteor/asteroid magnet to sort of protect earth, so making a lunar-earth would be a bad idea, unless we can just shoo the asteroids away.
Long time viewer here. With all due respect I can’t help feeling duped. HLS - (the part of the mission where a SpaceX built system transports astronauts from lunar orbit to the surface and back) is ridiculously behind schedule. Catching a rocket (Starship Super-heavy booster) with “chopsticks” makes for good buzz. But look at the timeline. The mission requires in-orbit refueling (from one Starship to another) ~ 10 times. THEN fly to the moon, land on the surface, take off and come back to earth. What SpaceX has demonstrated at this time is not even one Starship in orbit. Let alone full of fuel, to refuel a buddy. (The NASA big-wig who signed of on the contract now works at SpaceX. The two competitors back then complained to Government Accountability Office (GAO) - that will soon be Musks DOGE. Soooo although I sincerely cheer for humans on the moon - I think your video paints a very-very unrealistic picture of the current state of progress. BTW I appreciated the very carefull wording regarding the “touch down” of the Intuitive Machines lander… since tipping over does not count as a landing 🫣
First time viewer here, but glad the algorythm gods sent me. Funny, my first thought was "Oh, so the rich people actually have a plan to leave the planet after they've completely ruined it. This will probably get done." Now I see your comment here, and I'm thinking there might be a billioinaire or two that are losing patience with their friends at SpaceX. I'm not usually too worried about staying on schedule or budget as long there is always progress. It'd be cool to see a human land on the moon again before I go. With the almost certain delays coming in the near future due to, um, governmental changes, I wonder if I can last that long. All this to say don't feel duped unless you really believed their timeline, the work continues, but slowly.
We need to build a commercially viable lunar shipyard before we can even THINK about colonising anywhere else. For a deeper explanation and cool animations, I reccomend the Anthrofuturism youtube channel.
Considering the rate the moon orbits the earth, plus the earth's speed through space, would Relativity suggest they would live longer? Unless I'm wrong in thinking that the moon travels through spacetime at a different speed than earth when you consider the rate it orbits.
I just hit the exact part of the video and came straight to the comments to see how long it took to find someone saying this. 0 seconds.. lol immediately 😂
To keep you guys updated on the mission. Boeing is in talks about abandoning the SLS, Using old parts ended up costing more than just making new ones. The lunar lander broke a leg upon landing, if it weren’t for its ridiculous design it would’ve landed safely, but you wouldn’t have the beautiful labeling of the sponsorship. Artemis will happen, however not in 2025. Most likely by 2040 will the entire thing come to completion.
I'm fully behind them building things in space but that's not what's happening. They are building them on the ground and docking them together in space.
not if the new nasa chief deems it a useless expense, or only greenlit if private firms see an opportunity to make money. sad that such ambitious projects are now being handled by people who have no interest in space of the advancement of mankind
I think this is a mischaracterization. SLS is a horrifically wasteful program and we'd be way better off replacing it with Starship, which is just a straight up better rocket in every way. I would also point out that "private firms making money off of it" and "NASA wasting money" go hand in hand. See the military industrial complex, cost plus contracting, etc.
Jarrod Isaacman is actually a really good pick for NASA administrator, he's been to orbit twice and knows a lot about large scale organizational management and aerospace technology.
I would prefer we make a O'Neil cylinder space craft that could support missions to anywhere in the solar system. Having a city is space means you can do all kinds of missions from exploration to mining, to research, to building bases elsewhere.
We made a material for thermal under ware for sever cold in the 90's, made from spun lighter than water poly, the US Army tried it in their weather labs and said it was too hot. After putting about ten zippered slots on it worked pretty well. But Amoco sold the ability to make it when they sold out to BP, and BP could have cared less about it, so it is gone now.
Let me answer this for you: Radioation was a huge problem before they allegedly went to the moon. But during the years they went there, it wasn't a problem. But soon after they stopped with their moon missions, the radiation became a problem again. No, I'm not kidding you, Sir. 😂
@@SavedByGrace_CitizenEmperorユウ In the 1960s the USA (Operation Fishbowl) and the USSR (Operation K) were detonating nuclear weapons in space, which massively increased radiation and enlarged the Van Allen's belts. This was just a few years before the Apollo missions.
There is a chance that Artemis 2 might fly in September‘25 but early to mid ‘26 is more likely. Artemis three, an actual lunar landing, will be ‘28 or ‘ 29.
I’ve just reviewed the milestones for the Artemis missions, and unfortunately, Artemis 2 is not expected to launch before April 2026, with Artemis 3 anticipated around mid-2027. Considering that the Artemis missions have faced rescheduling in the past, it’s possible these dates might shift further.
There have been several other lunar missions by other countries and a few more unmanned lunar missions by NASA after 1972. A colony on the moon is just practice for the mars mission. What better place to practice than in a similar environment: somewhere far from home, help and emergency services. Simulations on earth cannot reflect situations encountered in space.
In the early 2000s, the US government and NASA aimed to launch a new manned mission to Mars; in the last couple of years, they have turned their attention to the Moon. That's a huge step backward in NASA's space journey.
This just sounds interesting but really it's no different than just seeing little tents in the desert. It's just the idea that sounds cool. Nobody will care after the first month of their little set up .
It’s cool that the moon could maybe be used as a rocket gas station / mining operation for Helium-3 eventually but there’s so many risks for something so expensive Edit: just finished the video and didn’t realize you were gonna talk about this 😂
Let's not overly romanticize this now, you're essentially describing mining camps. They weren't pleasant here on earth, and I doubt they will be in cold, dark space.
So would a Columbia lined hat block out the alien transmissions directly into our brains? It seems we finally have a product suitable for both NASA supporters and conspiracy theorists!
It would depend on the frequency of the transmission. Higher frequencies could pass through more easily than lower frequencies due to their shorter wavelengths.
More rockets to put much more pollutants into the atmosphere great frkn work Nasa, They should be building more efficient systems rockets are already antiquated..
Most aerospace projects end up behind schedule. The same happened with the ISS and APOLLO, but as awful as the Trump administration is gonna be, they seem to have no interest in stopping nasa’s plans

Catching a rocket (Starship Super-heavy booster) with “chopsticks” makes for good buzz. But look at the timeline. The mission requires in-orbit refueling (from one Starship to another) ~ 10 times. THEN fly to the moon, land on the surface, take off and come back to earth. What SpaceX has demonstrated at this time is not even one Starship in orbit. Let alone full of fuel, to refuel a buddy.
(The NASA big-wig who signed of on the contract now works at SpaceX. The two competitors back then complained to Government Accountability Office (GAO) - that will soon be Musks DOGE. Soooo although I sincerely cheer for humans on the moon - I think your video paints a very-very unrealistic picture of the current state of progress.
BTW I appreciated the very carefull wording regarding the “touch down” of the Intuitive Machines lander… since tipping over does not count as a landing 🫣
As if SLS isn't also over a decade behind schedule and billions over budget
First time viewer here, but glad the algorythm gods sent me.
Funny, my first thought was "Oh, so the rich people actually have a plan to leave the planet after they've completely ruined it. This will probably get done." Now I see your comment here, and I'm thinking there might be a billioinaire or two that are losing patience with their friends at SpaceX. I'm not usually too worried about staying on schedule or budget as long there is always progress. It'd be cool to see a human land on the moon again before I go. With the almost certain delays coming in the near future due to, um, governmental changes, I wonder if I can last that long.
All this to say don't feel duped unless you really believed their timeline, the work continues, but slowly.
Ughhh my millenial space boy childhood is SO excited for this. Finally!
Ngl, that heat reflective material is very pretty
Super pumped for the future
dude this is actually so cool omg
Waaaay over due.
This is the best place to launch from for Mars missions or beyond.
Thank you to Bigelow for the design of inflatables and much more.
i actually do already have that jacket and it's a good jacket. keeps me very warm. it's not the cutest tbh, but it's okay.
Man, those jackets are EXPENSIVE.
This is one of the few times I liked a sponsor I heard for the first time
A little grammar help for you: Use "farthest" when referring to distance, and "furthest for everything else.
I know these things take a lot of planning and time, but they could not be moving slower on something many of us have been wanting for decades.
Looking fly in the red long sleeve Mitch! Have you been lifting? 💪🏽
Space Force!!!
We need to build a commercially viable lunar shipyard before we can even THINK about colonising anywhere else.
For a deeper explanation and cool animations, I reccomend the Anthrofuturism youtube channel.
yay, let´s go to the moon to do the amazing stuff we do here on earth!
Bro a Columbia sponsor is crazy! Good job!
Considering the rate the moon orbits the earth, plus the earth's speed through space, would Relativity suggest they would live longer? Unless I'm wrong in thinking that the moon travels through spacetime at a different speed than earth when you consider the rate it orbits.
NASA is great at making it seem like everything they do is purely out of a healthy curiosity for scientific discovery. 😇
5:45 Where every single "kilogram" matters.
I just hit the exact part of the video and came straight to the comments to see how long it took to find someone saying this. 0 seconds.. lol immediately 😂
To keep you guys updated on the mission.
Boeing is in talks about abandoning the SLS, Using old parts ended up costing more than just making new ones. The lunar lander broke a leg upon landing, if it weren’t for its ridiculous design it would’ve landed safely, but you wouldn’t have the beautiful labeling of the sponsorship.
Artemis will happen, however not in 2025. Most likely by 2040 will the entire thing come to completion.
just bought a omni heat jacket for the winter on blackfriday. Now I am here seeing this ad lol.
Ah, finally! Actually going to the moon for the first time. 🤪
I'm fully behind them building things in space but that's not what's happening. They are building them on the ground and docking them together in space.
well,
there’s no infrastructure to build them in space to begin with.
They'll be living on the surface of the moon for a whole week?? Dang props to the astronauts
So you’re telling us that NASA is finally taking over Boeings space division, first?!?!
not if the new nasa chief deems it a useless expense, or only greenlit if private firms see an opportunity to make money. sad that such ambitious projects are now being handled by people who have no interest in space of the advancement of mankind
Thank you for seeing this and saying it
I think this is a mischaracterization. SLS is a horrifically wasteful program and we'd be way better off replacing it with Starship, which is just a straight up better rocket in every way.
I would also point out that "private firms making money off of it" and "NASA wasting money" go hand in hand. See the military industrial complex, cost plus contracting, etc.
Jarrod Isaacman is actually a really good pick for NASA administrator, he's been to orbit twice and knows a lot about large scale organizational management and aerospace technology.
I would prefer we make a O'Neil cylinder space craft that could support missions to anywhere in the solar system. Having a city is space means you can do all kinds of missions from exploration to mining, to research, to building bases elsewhere.
We made a material for thermal under ware for sever cold in the 90's, made from spun lighter than water poly, the US Army tried it in their weather labs and said it was too hot. After putting about ten zippered slots on it worked pretty well. But Amoco sold the ability to make it when they sold out to BP, and BP could have cared less about it, so it is gone now.
i still don't understand why your music video "this is how it all ends" doesn't have millions of views
On the moon?! AEIOU!
A whole ad read about a jacket that can keep you warm when we need stuff that can keep us cool because climate change has the warm covered >>
What about Van Allen’s Radiation belt?
Let me answer this for you: Radioation was a huge problem before they allegedly went to the moon. But during the years they went there, it wasn't a problem. But soon after they stopped with their moon missions, the radiation became a problem again. No, I'm not kidding you, Sir. 😂
@@SavedByGrace_CitizenEmperorユウsource?
@@PurpleMomgoose fantasy probably
@@SavedByGrace_CitizenEmperorユウ In the 1960s the USA (Operation Fishbowl) and the USSR (Operation K) were detonating nuclear weapons in space, which massively increased radiation and enlarged the Van Allen's belts. This was just a few years before the Apollo missions.
Well dang, I didn’t know Columbia was involved like that
So.. Was 'For All Mankind' based off of this plan, or was this plan based off 'FAM'? :P Kidding of course, but this is great to see! :D
So this is the prequel for The Silent Sea nice.
RUclips be shadowbanning your channel recently damn
Seems like after the voice and face video, the views dropped a lot after those two videos.
RUclips unsubbed me a while ago and thankfully I was like "asap science hasn't been in my sub box for months, where are they?"
There is a chance that Artemis 2 might fly in September‘25 but early to mid ‘26 is more likely. Artemis three, an actual lunar landing, will be ‘28 or ‘ 29.
Man, Columbia stole the idea I came up with 30 years ago and literally never did anything about. 😆
I’ve just reviewed the milestones for the Artemis missions, and unfortunately, Artemis 2 is not expected to launch before April 2026, with Artemis 3 anticipated around mid-2027. Considering that the Artemis missions have faced rescheduling in the past, it’s possible these dates might shift further.
There have been several other lunar missions by other countries and a few more unmanned lunar missions by NASA after 1972. A colony on the moon is just practice for the mars mission. What better place to practice than in a similar environment: somewhere far from home, help and emergency services. Simulations on earth cannot reflect situations encountered in space.
Finally, Space 1999 begins.
I love Columbia
Damn just like in Mass Effect!
Amazing
In the early 2000s, the US government and NASA aimed to launch a new manned mission to Mars; in the last couple of years, they have turned their attention to the Moon. That's a huge step backward in NASA's space journey.
They found the monolith, it sent a message to Earth. " Why didn't you visit me in 2001 ?"
This just sounds interesting but really it's no different than just seeing little tents in the desert.
It's just the idea that sounds cool. Nobody will care after the first month of their little set up .
It’s cool that the moon could maybe be used as a rocket gas station / mining operation for Helium-3 eventually but there’s so many risks for something so expensive
Edit: just finished the video and didn’t realize you were gonna talk about this 😂
Let's not overly romanticize this now, you're essentially describing mining camps.
They weren't pleasant here on earth, and I doubt they will be in cold, dark space.
Very cool
I can't wait for Star Bucks to open a store in the moon colony
Double every budget and timeline stimates. This will be further than you think.
I feel like these missions will be delayed or called off until long after I’m gone. Hope I’m wrong
So would a Columbia lined hat block out the alien transmissions directly into our brains? It seems we finally have a product suitable for both NASA supporters and conspiracy theorists!
It would depend on the frequency of the transmission. Higher frequencies could pass through more easily than lower frequencies due to their shorter wavelengths.
This makes me want to go home and play KSP
the hours must sink
its indeed gonna be wild
More rockets to put much more pollutants into the atmosphere great frkn work Nasa, They should be building more efficient systems rockets are already antiquated..
0:22 "The next 5-10 years are gonna be wild." Yea, they are! 😉
I always forget that in infrared, we’re a bunch of glow sticks
I love space
We really need to be careful of moon dust
Isn't this program under serious budget problems and actually running behind schedule?
These dates are not going to happen.
Most aerospace projects end up behind schedule. The same happened with the ISS and APOLLO, but as awful as the Trump administration is gonna be, they seem to have no interest in stopping nasa’s plans
