- In the future we will build outposts and bases in space and on distant worlds, but what if we could make it so they built themselves instead?

So we're going to live in a village of mushrooms. We can walk around shirtless because gene mods protects us from solar radiation--but unfortunately they also turn our skin blue and make us substitute the word "smurf" for most verbs...
I've been hearing an increasingly great deal about mushroom biomass and mycelium as a possible supermaterial, not for its indestructability, but for its versatility; an edible material that can be made into sturdy blocks, packing material, containers, you name it. I am ready for humanity to transcend mammaldom and become one with our unkillable fungal kin
this is one I've been talking about with my friends for ages; if/when we fully understand the very nature of how genetics function, we should be able to genetically engineer trees and grasses and other such flora so that they naturally grow into shapes most convenient to us. that could be anything from perfectly dimensioned natural lumber offshoots to harvest without harming their massive, neighborhood-shading, carbon-sequestering, mineral-mining mother tree... to whole custom plantable, living, pest-resistant homes with windows facing south, built-in transpiration-powered AC and extra deep, earthquake-proof tap roots pumping up more fresh water from an aquifer below than it needs, eliminating the need for sub-surface plumbing-maybe even mycelium modified to carry neurochemical data streams and high-voltage currents alike. it's the key to truly shaping our environment to live symbiotically with our technology instead of parasitically choking it out for our own continued convenience.
I think a cool idea for an episode would be looking at past predictions for the future.
My favorite takeaway from this is hearing Isaac talk about malfunctioning self replicators building random crap on ships and habitats causing me to think " Huh. So, greeblies. Neat."
I used to listen to Isaac Arthur when I drove truck and now that I'm disabled and can't work this is one of the few things I look forward to every week.
I remember some game (I think “Brink”?); the game was so-so, but the lore had an interesting concept. Everyone lived on a city sized, man made, island. The island was made of genetically engineered coral, this coral could be programmed to grow into any shape desired. I always liked this concept… more than the game itself.
I just felt very cool, you talked about a dust-free hardened pad, I worked on the NASA X-HAB rover concept for preparing these exact surfaces as my senior design project at NDSU. Yeah I know, weird flex, but there aren't many places I get to brag about that.
I've been following you since the very first episode. Thank you so much for the amazing content and for continuing to stretch my imagination and reaffirm my belief that we will one day populate the stars.
A Second Chance at Eden by Peter F Hamilton (prequel of the Nights Dawn trilogy) introduces bitech habitats much like an O’Neil cylinder but with a light tube on its axis instead of mirrors.
I've been talking about this for a long time, an O'Neill Cylinder that grows another one out the end of it like a bacteria
I love this! I have been pondering the idea of a wizard that ascends into a Lich so she can become an optimal astronaut and then studies geomancy to summon golems and build a Dyson swarm from the planet closest to her sun.
I'm in constant pain, your show is one of the few things that can keep my head in a good place.
The Namibia Project, that blew my mind! Who knows what other green space project may help Earth.... The future will be green and high tech. Your chance should be required view for the next generation...
Don't mind me; I'll just be floating through space in my big ol' Mushroom
Thanks, now I want to run a sci-fi TTRPG game set in a malfunctioning outpost seed. Distorted fractal, winding structures more absurd than Villa Straylight, full of malfunctioning biorobots. The players looking to recover lost technology...
Stellasers, woohoo! :)
I love your videos and your content is an inspiration to us all!
It's awesome how Isaac can take a concept and really explore the its ramifications. Keep the good work!!!
Great one, can’t wait for the whole of it. Reminds me of the Templars in Dan Simmons’ books!
