I think, the weakest part of this concept is the modular design of the robots. It’s too flimsy. In some scenes you can see there is no leverage in the joints (especially on digger robots). I understand it’s just a concept, but I think when they eventually try to make it real, they’ll find out it’s easier to just build a bunch of different robots, each designed for a different purpose.
I can see the differently designed robots containing some modular parts maybe, but yes as shown in the demonstration I think their scope is too idealistic.

You just described 90% of interior designers in high-end construction. My dad does CAD drafting for high-end millwork and cabinetry in South FL. He is as successful as he is because he doesn't just draw what the designers send over, but he re-engineers it to make the possible possible, refactors the design to make the suggest replacement options for the impossible, and overall, takes a pretty looking design idea and makes it buildable. These designers make the big bucks to make things look good, but the engineers are the ones that have to figure out how to make those designs possible.
@@lonewulf0328 it's a sweet paycheck but the designers make your blood boil, i'm still in my twenties and already yell at them like the old guys do whenever they bring over a design.
I believe that will happen, eventually. By now our expansion follows only the achievement of resources and economic development, but when space to just live became more important we will see some cities or at least litle towns in deserts, floating in the ocean or in the middle of the world's end
@TheLogan Yes, that enviroment is different, but NASA is taking no risks here. They usually only send people there with the thought in mind to bring them back by chance. Now, would you prefer a test run billions of miles from home or somewhere in a remote desert hundreds to thousands of miles to check if the tech is working properly? @Thought Provoker Costly, yes, but preferable to deserts with no plantlife, which means wasted land without plants that could turn nasty CO2 to tasty O2. And according to all these eco-freaks, CO2 is a massive problem. So you can either diminish our way of life or we help the planet to cope with it by planting trees. @Javier L The desert is a habitat to several forms of life and these lifeforms will adapt to a more lush and greener place or perish. The planet works by this rule of adapt or perish for millions of years, long before the very idea of mankind was ever conceived... But I dare any eco-freak out there to step in someone's way to make this a greener planet for the sake of some desert bug.

Amazing concept, very detailed look at potential base, there are loads of questions but i genuinely am impressed. NASA should be impressed with this concept. Question of, how far in AI development, energy solutions and 3D printing are you ?
For the energy solution the primary power generation system is designed to be the NASA Kilopowers, which are currently TRL 5 and are actively being developed.
It seems that there's been a lot of work on 3d printing for Mars (lots of teams have worked on this challenge and the challenge has had a couple of phases already): www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/centennial_challenges/3DPHab/index.html
This is the most bullshittiest bullshit I've seen since George RR Martin's take on science fiction. Those robots would fall inmediatelly in the one-wheel configuration and the excavators are ludicrous. I've seen 1minute 48seconds of the video so far and it's already a joke. Let NASA decide what they should be impressed with, please. Update: OMG the 3D printing part!!! AhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHahHH
I don't think the bots would be able to get the resources necessary to build another robot. Of course, they could send a production line for building robots when the first human settlers arrive, but the robots are (currently) designed to print very large and rough objects.
Once that happens, how to colonize Mars will not be important any more. Only humans need colony structures to survive in space, and humans will no longer be necessary
It could work, the bots are very possible, someone could probably make one at home if they have the know how, the 3D printed cave is also possible, the habitat is also very possible, it’s all possible as far as I can see but it’s just expensive and if anything went wrong it could be the end of mars habitation for a while

Exactly my thought. Even though it is not mentioned, I assume that they might recharge at the nuclear reactor that they are bringing mentioned in the video? Solar is probably not going to cut it.
@@nesa1126 ofc it's gonna be nuclear power, great weight to power ratio and in space you don't have to worry about radiation (the one coming from space itself is more worrying) or even the thing melting down- it will be far away from humans, no atmosphere to pollute, no liquid water, all humans and habitats hermetically sealed.
@@Guus775 Mars is smaller, thus it has more grazing angles for the same radiation source, but is also much further away, which reduces the incoming light but at the same time cancels the grazing effect to some extent (the light is approaching more in parallels, instead of radially). On the other hand, you're right, thinner atmosphere allows the more energetic beams of light to reach the surface, but also highly energetic ultraviolet radiation, so, in summary, Mars has more solar energy potential than it receives visible light, but it can be hazardous to life if exposed. Hence the large temperature variation (-140 - +30 degrees C) even though it is so far away (compared to Earth's -88 - +58 degs C, clearly a sign of a much thicker atmosphere).
I remember telling my dad in 2009 about Jaque Fresco wanting to build 3D homes for the poorest people in poor regions. He laughed and told me that 3D printed homes were never going to be a thing. NASA Habitation Pod: "This isn't even my final form"
Its too early to send people right after robots, we need to send animals and plants and robots to care about them. This will show the real potentials for people.
@@jdmiller82 Saw a theory resently that all of Elons companies have Mars as the end goal. Tesla: no fossil fuels on Mars, so you need efficient and well tested electric vechicles. Solar City: Solar power is the easiest way to power a Martian colony, and the solar tile is durrable and still pretty effective. The Tesla power walls and huge battery facilities in AUS will be needed on Mars to, since there will be weeks or month with no sun, due to sandstorms. The Boring Company: It will be far easier to make underground cities with large scale tunneling equipment and tunnels can be used to connect settlements, so that colonist can travel between them with no danger from radiation. Open AI: with human colonist being limited in numbers it is of high importance that they preform optimaly. With an AI assistant or with electronic brain implants the preformance of each person can be optimized. SpaceX: the Rockets are obvious (The statet goal of Starship is to go to Mars), but SpaceX also has the Starlink project. While Starlink in Earth orbit wont have any effect on Mars, SpaceX having experience with putting high numbers of very small com-sats into orbit will be vital for bouilding Mars infastructure, since Mars lacks the planet wide sattelite coverage that Earth has

@@Victor-rx4fv i know you didn’t ask me but the first flaws I see are the size of the robots, the weight if the robots, and the complexity of the robots. They look too big for the things it can do along with being very heavy if they use a reaction wheel for movement, and what’s the point of the modular system other than overly complicating it. Also investment by countries in this project will not happen because of most of them only looking short term for their investments
And if you redirected that much money, Europe could kiss their generous entitlement systems goodbye and international trade would become far more expensive, all combining to make this project impossible.

Hope those robots can clean themselves. Dust packed into the connection parts could screw them up fast. If the regolith shell collapses during construction, do they fix it or just move to a new spot next door and start again? Those life support modules (3:25) look bulky. Curious how they plan to get them into those self inflating connectors. Can't just magic hand wave them in there. Either get put in through the doors (not likely) or not be set up until after the pod inflates. Picturing moving furniture in a space suit... Otherwise very much enjoyed the concepts. Base looks less unhappy to live in that the one proposed by Kurzgesagt. Same issues no doubt.
But the one proposed by Kurzgesagt is not way overcomplicated. I really don't see this happening with the current robot desingn, as making a single wheeled robot turn is really difficult. 4 to 6 wheels or some tracks would be way simpler.
I would assume the regolith shell is counter intuitive, due to the fact that they would be shielding themselves from the little bit of sun that would reach the planet, making the entire structure colder than it would be.
Infinite. Microwaves heat food up by vibrating the water molecules in it. Martian soil has literally no moisture and the rock won't heat in the slightest
@@grantdavis5627 Not in all cases, water is just the most common element heated up with microwaves. It shouldn't be a problem anyway, since there are other methods of converting power into heat that are just as efficient.
@@grantdavis5627 To heat something with microwave, you need to tune the microwave frequency to whatever you want to heat up. A classic microwave use about 2.4GHz, which happend to be the frequency that heat up water the most effectivelly. However put no water and something else will have to absorb the energy and heat up, which in the case of an empty microwave it will be the metal. But this process is not good if not tuned proprelly. In the case of the empty microwave, it heat up because each time the wave hit the metal, only a part get absorbed, the rest reflect back. It will bounce thousands of time before it get completly absorbed. If it is tuned, it will be absorbed right away, and little to none will bounce. Water has been chosen for food microwave because all food contain water. Industrial microwave can melt plastic and other materials, but there is more efficient ways for alot of other material, like metal. For metal they will use induction heating quite often, or just gas. On earth, we have a ton of ressources and ways to do it. On mars we would be quite limited. The soil is not magnetic, so induction won't work. There is no real way to burn gas (I don't know if there is anything flammable, but even if there is, there is no oxygen to burn it). You are left with whatever use electricity. Microwave could be one, or just plain heating elements. If they tune the microwave oven to the right frequency, yes they can melt it. But I have doubts that they will use microwave, I beleive they will use a more sure way to heat it, like plain electric heating elements, if they get reliable enought elements at such high temperature.
@@thephantom1492 I see I'm mistaken. Thanks for the explanation. Because Mars is mostly iron, wouldn't it be borderline impossible to create a housing to hold the regolith without the machine melting itself? You could have an open housing but that would be really inefficient at transferring the energy.
@@grantdavis5627 I suspect that they will have to bring the melting pots from earth. If it is mostly iron (didn't checked what it was made of) then most likelly inductive heating will be used. But anyway, I hightly doubt that they will use microwave to heat it. There is some better more reliable ways than that.

There are no solar panels. They will be created in situ once the technology and labs have advanced enough on Mars. Of course it takes a spaceship to get the 1 metric ton RTG (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope_thermoelectric_generator) there in the first place.

A momentum wheel spinning on the x axis, either that or the wheel is split into 2 pieces but the gyro would make more sense because they already have gyros to keep upright
@@mactek6033 Yes, and those that can affect a turn always come with a big wobbly meat-sack on top! That fleshy thing has a _massive_ movement of inertia, so it takes quite a large torque to get that wobbly bit to spin. So when the meat sack applies a torque to the unicycle, that poor thing has to try to balance that torque by applying force on the ground. But that interface has a very small area, an area that - on top of that - has tiny radius and - therefore whatever ground friction there is - has almost no fulcrum to provide a resisting torque. So the torque provided by the big wobbly meat sack can easily overcome the friction, and thus make the unicycle spin in place. But such is not the case here. The uni-wheel robots are quite top-light compared to the meat-sack-equipped unicycle, and unless they can build up a hefty spin of their top body, and then use brakes to apply torque down to the wheel, they are going to have one hell of a hard time doing anything other than spin their top bodies.
"We believe the key to success of human habitation on Mars is the health and well-being of its residents." Yeah gotta tell that to my Surviving Mars colonists working triple shifts in machine shops and electronic factories and living in overpopulated domes with intermittent water supply...
The reality is in order to establish a functional mars colony... you'd have to automate all the labor. Otherwise you have a chicken and egg problem. Without the humans to take care of the production the colony can't be built or maintained long enough for them to show up.
@@SherrifOfNottingham I totally agree, I even think robots should be on Mars building the infrastructure and even terraforming for decades or centuries before real humans can move in. However I was talking about a game where a lot of the higher end production must be performed by human colonists (metal mining, parts and electronics production, etc), which creates a tricky situation where you have to keep those colonists alive and happy.

I agree. One argument concerning Mars colonization is simply the distance and cost, and increased risks due to that distance... Testing on the Moon would at least bring another layer of caution to the whole design.
I'm all for idea but lets be a little realistic. lets make a moon base first before start looking at distance planets like mars. It feels like we are trying to run before we can crawl. Phase 1 would be as simple as making a large facility, removing the air to create the vacuum of space and testing on earth. Phase 2 would be transporting the robots by rocket up to the moon and having them repeat the phase 1 testing but on real conditions now. Phase 3- repeat on mars.

Melting this stuff with microwaves und building it slowly over three years seems realistic. Only that it definitely needs a small reactor connected (via cable), but NASA already launched enough stuff into space with reactors like that. Most of the shown concepts are just a matter of cost, and some of this will definitely be used, like 3D printing, mining and possibly also inflatable habitats, but on the other hand much of this stuff is unnecessary and only for show and will not be used because it's just useless added costs.
Everyone knows you can't make a roof out of sand because it will fall. It would have to be dirt or cobblestone. You could consider sandstone as a more solid alternative but it is inefficient as it requires 4 times the amount of sand.
The burden of proof lies with the affirmative claim. Where are the practical examples of bodies of water naturally conforming to the exterior of shapes? Where are the practical examples of a gas pressure being created and maintained without physical containment? Where are the practical examples of a body of water on a gradient that doesn't flow to points of lower elevation? Hurry up 😂
Well this was part of a competition where groups and companies could send in their ideas and concepts to NASA from which they pick one feasible option to THEN make it reality. Long way to go still...

Agree with the first sentence (not the second). I have been a space nut since I was a kid, but after looking at all the rover photos from Mars with excitement, it began to dawn on me what a dismal place it is. From space, craters look exciting. From ground level, they're just holes in the ground. You'd basically be living in a desolate quarry, and not even able to go out and breathe some fresh air. The Earth's most inhospitable places have nothing on the bodies beyond Earth.

Man, imagine getting to Mars and realising there's been a layershift in your giant robot-based 3D printer and now the top half is just spaghetti.
In all seriousness though, I actually don't think that'd be the major problem. I would be worried about keeping all of those self-balancing robots self-balancing for 3 years.

I think, the weakest part of this concept is the modular design of the robots. It’s too flimsy. In some scenes you can see there is no leverage in the joints (especially on digger robots). I understand it’s just a concept, but I think when they eventually try to make it real, they’ll find out it’s easier to just build a bunch of different robots, each designed for a different purpose.
I agree, the robots would be incredibly inefficient jack of all trade types that look very unlikely to work.
I can see the differently designed robots containing some modular parts maybe, but yes as shown in the demonstration I think their scope is too idealistic.

You just described 90% of interior designers in high-end construction. My dad does CAD drafting for high-end millwork and cabinetry in South FL. He is as successful as he is because he doesn't just draw what the designers send over, but he re-engineers it to make the possible possible, refactors the design to make the suggest replacement options for the impossible, and overall, takes a pretty looking design idea and makes it buildable.

I believe that will happen, eventually. By now our expansion follows only the achievement of resources and economic development, but when space to just live became more important we will see some cities or at least litle towns in deserts, floating in the ocean or in the middle of the world's end
@TheLogan Yes, that enviroment is different, but NASA is taking no risks here. They usually only send people there with the thought in mind to bring them back by chance. Now, would you prefer a test run billions of miles from home or somewhere in a remote desert hundreds to thousands of miles to check if the tech is working properly?
@Thought Provoker Costly, yes, but preferable to deserts with no plantlife, which means wasted land without plants that could turn nasty CO2 to tasty O2. And according to all these eco-freaks, CO2 is a massive problem. So you can either diminish our way of life or we help the planet to cope with it by planting trees.
@Javier L The desert is a habitat to several forms of life and these lifeforms will adapt to a more lush and greener place or perish. The planet works by this rule of adapt or perish for millions of years, long before the very idea of mankind was ever conceived... But I dare any eco-freak out there to step in someone's way to make this a greener planet for the sake of some desert bug.

@@affzor Probably. I mean, solar is not super efficient, we are far away from Sun, and Mars is even further.
@@nesa1126 ofc it's gonna be nuclear power, great weight to power ratio and in space you don't have to worry about radiation (the one coming from space itself is more worrying) or even the thing melting down- it will be far away from humans, no atmosphere to pollute, no liquid water, all humans and habitats hermetically sealed.
@@Guus775 Mars is smaller, thus it has more grazing angles for the same radiation source, but is also much further away, which reduces the incoming light but at the same time cancels the grazing effect to some extent (the light is approaching more in parallels, instead of radially). On the other hand, you're right, thinner atmosphere allows the more energetic beams of light to reach the surface, but also highly energetic ultraviolet radiation, so, in summary, Mars has more solar energy potential than it receives visible light, but it can be hazardous to life if exposed. Hence the large temperature variation (-140 - +30 degrees C) even though it is so far away (compared to Earth's -88 - +58 degs C, clearly a sign of a much thicker atmosphere).

Solar City: Solar power is the easiest way to power a Martian colony, and the solar tile is durrable and still pretty effective. The Tesla power walls and huge battery facilities in AUS will be needed on Mars to, since there will be weeks or month with no sun, due to sandstorms.
The Boring Company: It will be far easier to make underground cities with large scale tunneling equipment and tunnels can be used to connect settlements, so that colonist can travel between them with no danger from radiation.
Open AI: with human colonist being limited in numbers it is of high importance that they preform optimaly. With an AI assistant or with electronic brain implants the preformance of each person can be optimized.
SpaceX: the Rockets are obvious (The statet goal of Starship is to go to Mars), but SpaceX also has the Starlink project. While Starlink in Earth orbit wont have any effect on Mars, SpaceX having experience with putting high numbers of very small com-sats into orbit will be vital for bouilding Mars infastructure, since Mars lacks the planet wide sattelite coverage that Earth has

HASSELL how much power will the microwave melting/printing unit need to build such a large structure ?
Infinite. Microwaves heat food up by vibrating the water molecules in it. Martian soil has literally no moisture and the rock won't heat in the slightest
@@grantdavis5627 Not in all cases, water is just the most common element heated up with microwaves. It shouldn't be a problem anyway, since there are other methods of converting power into heat that are just as efficient.
@@grantdavis5627 To heat something with microwave, you need to tune the microwave frequency to whatever you want to heat up. A classic microwave use about 2.4GHz, which happend to be the frequency that heat up water the most effectivelly. However put no water and something else will have to absorb the energy and heat up, which in the case of an empty microwave it will be the metal. But this process is not good if not tuned proprelly. In the case of the empty microwave, it heat up because each time the wave hit the metal, only a part get absorbed, the rest reflect back. It will bounce thousands of time before it get completly absorbed. If it is tuned, it will be absorbed right away, and little to none will bounce.
Water has been chosen for food microwave because all food contain water.
Industrial microwave can melt plastic and other materials, but there is more efficient ways for alot of other material, like metal. For metal they will use induction heating quite often, or just gas. On earth, we have a ton of ressources and ways to do it. On mars we would be quite limited. The soil is not magnetic, so induction won't work. There is no real way to burn gas (I don't know if there is anything flammable, but even if there is, there is no oxygen to burn it). You are left with whatever use electricity. Microwave could be one, or just plain heating elements.
If they tune the microwave oven to the right frequency, yes they can melt it. But I have doubts that they will use microwave, I beleive they will use a more sure way to heat it, like plain electric heating elements, if they get reliable enought elements at such high temperature.
@@thephantom1492 I see I'm mistaken. Thanks for the explanation. Because Mars is mostly iron, wouldn't it be borderline impossible to create a housing to hold the regolith without the machine melting itself? You could have an open housing but that would be really inefficient at transferring the energy.
@@grantdavis5627 I suspect that they will have to bring the melting pots from earth. If it is mostly iron (didn't checked what it was made of) then most likelly inductive heating will be used.
But anyway, I hightly doubt that they will use microwave to heat it. There is some better more reliable ways than that.

A momentum wheel spinning on the x axis, either that or the wheel is split into 2 pieces but the gyro would make more sense because they already have gyros to keep upright
@@bstewart8891 yeah alright
Ever see a unicycle?
@@mactek6033 i think you mean chick magnet
@@mactek6033 Yes, and those that can affect a turn always come with a big wobbly meat-sack on top! That fleshy thing has a _massive_ movement of inertia, so it takes quite a large torque to get that wobbly bit to spin.
So when the meat sack applies a torque to the unicycle, that poor thing has to try to balance that torque by applying force on the ground. But that interface has a very small area, an area that - on top of that - has tiny radius and - therefore whatever ground friction there is - has almost no fulcrum to provide a resisting torque. So the torque provided by the big wobbly meat sack can easily overcome the friction, and thus make the unicycle spin in place.
But such is not the case here. The uni-wheel robots are quite top-light compared to the meat-sack-equipped unicycle, and unless they can build up a hefty spin of their top body, and then use brakes to apply torque down to the wheel, they are going to have one hell of a hard time doing anything other than spin their top bodies.
Someone is going have to science the s*** out of this.
Hopefully the box full of nuclear waste doesn't have to be dug up

I mean this reached the top 9 in a NASA competition that was judged by the best Aerospace engineers so I doubt anyone can debunk this idea.
@@mikolajschulz5847 how to debunk a theory? dont pull everyone down on your stupidity
"We believe the key to success of human habitation on Mars is the health and well-being of its residents."
Yeah gotta tell that to my Surviving Mars colonists working triple shifts in machine shops and electronic factories and living in overpopulated domes with intermittent water supply...
The reality is in order to establish a functional mars colony... you'd have to automate all the labor. Otherwise you have a chicken and egg problem. Without the humans to take care of the production the colony can't be built or maintained long enough for them to show up.
@@SherrifOfNottingham I totally agree, I even think robots should be on Mars building the infrastructure and even terraforming for decades or centuries before real humans can move in. However I was talking about a game where a lot of the higher end production must be performed by human colonists (metal mining, parts and electronics production, etc), which creates a tricky situation where you have to keep those colonists alive and happy.
@Lain In the game though, you gotta keep em happy because low morale affects production efficiency which is a pain in the ass.

@@marcopaz7463 thx man we need to be prepared
anyone else hear mick gordon?
Holy cow. The "small but many" concept is genius!
Yeah but with his design, it’s risky. If an essential bot flips over or gets stuck, there’s nothing to get it back on track. The whole projects gets shit on by such a little failure.
@@SlightlyInactive thats why you send many of them
@@SlightlyInactive the whole point is that there is no "essential bot." none of them have a specific job, any individual bot could replace another for any job. just send a whole lot more than you think you'll need.
@Y O J I M B O 用心棒 The problem is that we lack the technology to have reliable self replication, that's why for the starter colony we just need to send many redundant multi-purpose vehicles.
@Y O J I M B O 用心棒 Absolutely, although I doubt it will be this specific company's vision. The goal is to start ASAP, not to just do it at all.
Narrator: The module self inflates into its final form.

Ahhh I knew someone had said it!
Why aren't they just building a base on the moon to start with? Even as a test base, that would make so much more sense.
Different soil. While I am in favor of a lunar base as well, it wouldn't do us any good as a 'test'.
@Othee Death boomer alert
@Othee Death ok boomer
Dude i'm sure they couldn't do that in the californian desert.

All I can think about are the sandstorms and all those openings for the wind to play with.
yeah dangerous sandstorm with wind that goes up to 70 mph (113 kph). that rivals a tropical storm on Earth. It's like the strongest category of storm before entering Hurricane territory. Nah man, if we can make the stucture Hurricane proof, no wind on Mars could beat it down. And before you argue "but in the Marsian..." that storm is the only thing that scientists don't agree as factual in his stay on the red plantet. the rescue is an other kettle of fish.
Can't wait for a bot to get stuck in the middle of the base, so people can watch it struggle from 4:38

Thank you for actually thinking about radiation.
the dangers of radiaton are overexagerated
@@ew264 They're not when you need to stay in space for 3 years.
@@ew264 How about you go to Chernobyl and stand in front of the Elephant's Foot for a few minutes and tell us how it goes? :)
Christopher Lee i said they are overexagerated not non existent. Nuclear power is the safest form of power plants. Chernobyl killed less than 30 people, fukushima only killed one or two and harrisburg didnt kill anyone. Hydroplants have killed over 200.000 people, wind turbines have killed over 100, solar power has killed about 200, coal power has killed almost a million, oil has killed almost 750.000 people. Despite all this nuclear power is looked upon as highly dangerous. The dangers of radiation are overexagerated and thats a fact.
@@ew264 more died than 30. Thousands maybe cause they got radiation.radiation from the explosion cut people's lives in half. And the serious side effects like birth defects, cancer problems across the whole continent .Europes cancer rates increased 200% PERCENT THAT IS HIGH. And the radiation from chernoyble was heart breaking it kills people worst way imaginable.
"And a pony. Everyone gets a pony."

LMAO at 1 am thnks
This needs to be tested on the Moon well in advance of Mars. The airlock entries need more redundancy.
I agree. One argument concerning Mars colonization is simply the distance and cost, and increased risks due to that distance... Testing on the Moon would at least bring another layer of caution to the whole design.
nah fam we can build a facility with same condition as mars and test it on earth cheapes way
I'm all for idea but lets be a little realistic. lets make a moon base first before start looking at distance planets like mars. It feels like we are trying to run before we can crawl.
Phase 1 would be as simple as making a large facility, removing the air to create the vacuum of space and testing on earth.
Phase 2 would be transporting the robots by rocket up to the moon and having them repeat the phase 1 testing but on real conditions now.
Phase 3- repeat on mars.
I knew Companion Cubes were good for something!
Kurzgesagt be like:
This a bad idea, *_Lemme in the Marsbase_*
If you look closely at 4:05, you’d realize that they’ve pretty much done everything that Kurzgesagt did

this would be one hell of an expensive camping trip XD
Not campling . . . scientific fieldwork and colonization . . . totally different.
@@chris24jh not if you plan to take the first return journey 50 years later. then its just a really long camping trip
@@cc3 Only if everyone and almost everything goes back. After all, there have been plenty of return journeys to Europe, but no one sees the conquest of the Americas as a 'camping trip'. (But if that was sarcasm you were using . . . nicely done!
@@cc3 So if my wife was born in Massachusetts, and then lives here in another State, for 53 years (most of her life) then moves back, her time in Missouri was really just a long camping trip?
Fifty years is a long time. You really think early colonists in their mid-seventies and eighties, after 50 years on Mars may come back to Eart? If that happens, perhaps for retirement or just to be near family their final years . . . that's just a camping trip?
What if they then go back to Mars . . . does that render their time on Earth (where they've spent only 1/4 to 1/3 of their lives) become a camping trip?
I think there is a difference between camping and settlement . . . and 50 years is more than enough to put you in the latter.
Please elaborate on your power source that will allow 100+ modular assembly units to each use a Gyro which has high power loads. Also, you're 3D printing capabilities in sub-arctic conditions using microwaves.
lots-o-nuclear?
They said they would use nuclear power, as many other missions in the past
BlueHamster that’s what they said sis
@BlueHamster I don't think I've ever said that the nuclear reactor was on the robots
Melting this stuff with microwaves und building it slowly over three years seems realistic. Only that it definitely needs a small reactor connected (via cable), but NASA already launched enough stuff into space with reactors like that. Most of the shown concepts are just a matter of cost, and some of this will definitely be used, like 3D printing, mining and possibly also inflatable habitats, but on the other hand much of this stuff is unnecessary and only for show and will not be used because it's just useless added costs.
This looks like a really cool idea. I would totally live on Mars after seeing this.
Beautiful concept. Would be fun to see this test project build on earth.
Could be a *fun house for desert environments :-)*
Everyone knows you can't make a roof out of sand because it will fall. It would have to be dirt or cobblestone. You could consider sandstone as a more solid alternative but it is inefficient as it requires 4 times the amount of sand.
@@grantdavis5627 that was beautiful
The burden of proof lies with the affirmative claim.
Where are the practical examples of bodies of water naturally conforming to the exterior of shapes?
Where are the practical examples of a gas pressure being created and maintained without physical containment?
Where are the practical examples of a body of water on a gradient that doesn't flow to points of lower elevation?

Just in dreams, muckup and all the rest, we want real tests of the modules
Well this was part of a competition where groups and companies could send in their ideas and concepts to NASA from which they pick one feasible option to THEN make it reality. Long way to go still...
I'd like to hear how they handle the horrible sand storms though. Do they block the entrances?
Sounds great! Maybe once we're set up on Mars we'll figure out how to do all this on Earth?
Well just because we dont use this on earth doesnt mean we cant do it....i have never seen a giant atomic rover driving around to plot the land
@@stevengunter4990 you mean something like that? ruclips.net/video/3-MNAX1jgbA/видео.html
Seems to work just fine on Earth.
:)
Pretty sure they already do testing of these systems here on Earth, it would be foolish to just send it to Mars based on a concept and hope it all goes well.
There are also very different conditions on Mars that are difficult to replicate on Earth like the fact that Mars has a lot less gravity.
The funny thing is, yeah, that's probably how it will actually turn out.
Until the modules gets stuck or brake in mid function
We'll theyre modular so they can replace each other and if all else fails just send more bots.
Ethan Anime Gonna need to do a loooooooot of testing.
@@Arkey707
Thats also explained in the video as why they used modular bots
You know that's the situation in ISS for almost 20 years right?
That's why they are multipurpose and redundant. You just swap out the broken one with a replacement.
"The moon and Mars colonies are bare, confined and uninteresting places to visit - in fact people realize that beyond the childish romantic notion of the “unknown universe” there’s nowhere to go within our reach that displays 0.000000000000001% of the richness of shapes, colors and aromas that Earth has" (from a Medium essay). And i want to add that we're in the middle of a multigenerational industrial wrecking of this incredible blue-green marble suspended in space.
shut up. get a hair cut and pay your tax. hand over your children to be defiled and educated.
Agree with the first sentence (not the second). I have been a space nut since I was a kid, but after looking at all the rover photos from Mars with excitement, it began to dawn on me what a dismal place it is. From space, craters look exciting. From ground level, they're just holes in the ground. You'd basically be living in a desolate quarry, and not even able to go out and breathe some fresh air.
The Earth's most inhospitable places have nothing on the bodies beyond Earth. With engineered habitats we can live there, but it's hard to believe anyone will enjoy it after the "Wow" factor wears off. There is nothing out there that we've found so far that offers anything beyond geology.
@@ian_b Terraform Mars, see if there's life under the surface of Europa, keep testing and designing until we can transplant our diversity and interests and needs anywhere in the solar system. Figure our a way to leave the solar system and get to other rich places like Earth in the galaxy.
That's where our species is headed. Living on Mars is an important step to that purpose.
The purpose of a colony on such a distant planet is not for people to have fun.
It's purpose is aiding in long travels.
Imagine it as a checkpoint between Earth and some other distant place, and so on.
Mars would make a really good checkpoint in that case, hell even the Moon would do.
I just a want a little zoom zoom in a intergalactic space world
Will Earth get to see these amazing innovations before they go to Mars? Could actually come in handy here too
