    Hey Joe, love the video. I'm in grad school studying nuclear power for space missions now and just wanted to chime in and say that a megawatt scale reactor that you'd need to power a human scale nuclear electric mission to Mars could basically fit inside a shipping container and weigh maybe 10 tons, look up DARPAs Megapower project. Also, uranium itself isn't very radioactive, it's the products that you get from splitting uranium that are very dangerous so if you're worried about launching a reactor to space, as long as you don't turn it on until you've reached orbit there's no real radiation danger from a crash. Also the probes like new horizons weren't powered by nuclear reactors but by radioisotope thermal generators, basically just a hunk of plutonium that gives off heat as it decays

      @jdray 5 лет назад +1

      @@Minuz1 : from what I understand (an armchair space researcher), the architecture of space-borne nuclear reactors is sufficiently different that "explosions" don't really happen. Note that they don't really happen here on Earth, either; they melt down, but don't explode. Using helium or sodium as a heat transfer fluid turns out to be better than water; helium escapes as a gas if there's a leak, and quickly rises to the top of the atmosphere (I'm unclear on whether or not it carries anything with it when it does), and sodium, lacking heat, quickly solidifies in the pipes and doesn't leak into our waterways.

      @nathancolgan4296 5 лет назад +2

      @@Minuz1 not really, if you're thinking about a dirty bomb, again those typically use used fuel or something else with short half life isotopes in it, uranium has a half life of millions of years, which means it gives off radiation relatively slowly. And the amount in any of these reactors would be less than a ton, so unless it dispersed right on the launch pad as opposed to over the ocean there probably would be not much measurable effect. If it did blow up on the pad, the radiation would be measurable but not nearly dangerous

    Hey Joe! Im pretty sure, i least i hope, that most of the comments on your videos are positive, cause i'll like to think that people is able to see all the effort and talent that you show in each video, as much as i do. Just wanted to let you know that i really like your work, and as a physicist, i don't think you are doing something wrong when you say something that may sound incorrect. On the contrary, i admire the fact that you have the fortitude to admit that you are not an expert, and that you just do this videos because you find some topics fascinating. Man, love your videos, with you since year 1 haha. Hope everything is working out for you. Keep the GREAT work my dude. From Colombia a big 5 five!

    • @BothHands1
      @BothHands1 5 лет назад +20

      as a physicist, i'm sure you could confirm this:
      the problem with using centrifugal force to create gravity, is that it would make you very nauseous. if, say, you throw a ball forward, the ball will actually curve quite drastically to one side, depending on which way you're spinning. the bigger your spinning habitat is, the smaller this effect, but even with mile wide habitats, the effect would still be noticeable. on any scale that he's speaking of, it would be severe. the laws of physics (rather, newtonian motion) would not function in a way that you're used to in a centrifugal gravity scenario. even just moving your foot forward to take a step, that foot would experience a perpendicular acceleration. this is something that has been known for decades, and were even critiques used when kubric made space odyssey 2001. it seems the general public, and even rocket scientists have forgotten about this problem over time.
      once you get used to the centrifugal gravity, you might have even more trouble walking than if you never had centrifugal gravity at all. over time, your body would correct for the perpendicular acceleration, and so you'd move your foot on a 45 degree angle to step forward, which once you're on the moon or mars, would make your walking completely incompatible with normal walking on a planetary body
      i made this post as a separate comment, but it seems to have been buried. hopefully a discussion of this will be more productive in this comment thread.
      thank you :

      @miguelsanchezcampo2762 5 лет назад +19

      @@BothHands1 Hi Danielle. As you may know, the effect on your body (or anything really on the spaceship) its caused by the coriolis effect, that arises from the inertia of the object while it is spinning. The effect is, effectively, stronger as you are closer to tge center of rotation, because your body have less "room" to compensate for the apparent difference of "force" exerted along yourself. So, the solution to a possible atrophy of your muscular and motor systems might be to make a bigger module of rotation, or ring, that compensate for this lack of radius R, as obvious as it may sounds. A great example of this in fiction is the novel by arthur c clarke "rendezvous with rama" where the explorers of a giant rotating ship see the manifestation of the coriolis effect only i giant objects, like how the water on a waterfall bends as it falls down. And, as a last remark, you can think about sailors, where there body its constantly subject to shifts of force. As a result, as everybody knows, their motor system adjust to this, thus their peculiar way of walking once the arrive to shore. So, even though the effects are not due to the same type of forces, it might be common in the future to comment on the peculiar way that astronauts walk once they arrive to "shore"! Kind of cool, right?
      Anyways, i think to fully respond to your comment, someone with medical or physiological backround should jump into this tread, so they can correct any asumption i made in last part
      I hope that is the kind of discution you wanted to start, and that my answer satisfy your expectations.

    • @BothHands1
      @BothHands1 5 лет назад +14

      miguel sanchez
      yes, definitely, you seem to be quite familiar with the effect, and the workarounds. increasing the radius reduces the coriolis effect, but the radius needs to be quite significant. a rotating body a mile in diameter might be akin to a sailor gaining their sea legs, and walking strangely once they arrive on firm ground. but the rotating ship being discussed in this video likely has a much smaller diameter, and so i believe the significance of the effect would be far too severe to overcome or adjust to. if a person does manage to adjust to it over months, their "sea legs" on land would be hundreds of times more severe than the sea legs a sailor experiences, and so it might make them completely incapable of even standing upright. in this case, i feel that no gravity would make for a much shorter recovery time than a rotating ship with only 100-200 meters in diameter. but i very much like your "sea legs" analogy, and will likely be using it in the future, if that's ok with you
      if we were to launch a mile diameter rotating object, the costs would be exponentially larger than anything we've ever even considered up until this point. because of this, i think rotating ships are a concept that's much further away than the video let on. maybe hundreds or even a thousand years away, assuming we don't annihilate ourselves through war or conflict before that.
      if we're making a trip to alpha centauri, then yeah, maybe a rotating habitat would have merit. but on a trip to mars, it's absolutely not a viable solution.
      thanks for your reply, what do you think?

      Mr. Fred ,
      That definitely would be easier than completing a successful mission to the Red Planet (just ask Val Kilmer) ..😁
      Seriously though , the radiation issue is an enormous stumbling-block in the path to achieving that goal .
      The on-planet exposure is lesser , and can be easily mitigated by living in caves , or covering with regolith .
      In-transit exposure is far greater , and requires a multitude of technologies , in order to prevent cancer/retardation/or heart-attacks .
      .😎
      *To examine such technologies , read my Quora Post :
      "How difficult is it to generate a magnetic-field around a starship , to protect against radiation just like our planet does ?" .

    Thanks for this video. I'm looking forward to watching the whole interview.
    Have you read Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars Trilogy" (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars)? At the time, NASA scientists, who were formerly Robinson's co-workers, said that Red Mars was pretty much a blueprint for how you colonized Mars. We've learned a lot since that was written, but it has a lot of useful ideas in it.
    Also by Robinson, "2312" is set in the same "universe" as the Mars Trilogy, though is set later and the stories barely interact. From it, we get ideas about hollowing out asteroids and using them as ferries. It's not a new idea, but he digs into some of the details.
    Also of note, Robinson has made himself available for a number of interviews. Maybe put him on your list.

    BUT i dont think its the only possible Orbit type or way to travel in space and i think the New horizons Probe did a diffrent one to fly far out(?).
    And Elon said something to Andy Dott during there recent interview about going faster but requiring exponential more energy....(?), what kind of orbit would that be?
