Once we unlock the true potential for human augmentation, it should make settling on other planets much easier.

[@jackgreenlee7223]

I can appreciate what your saying, but knowing the nature of people, Black Projects, and the Military Industrial Complex, they're already doing it, or working on it. What you see, come into the free market, is the result of that research. Take prosthetics for example, what we see advertised, from our medical facilities, this is the civilian version, of that research. I can only imagine, the application's the military, and their civilian contract partners, have devised, and are continuing to refine. And if they were to combine that technology, with even current robotics, the possibilities are, intriguing to say the least. I see a future, where loss of a limb, on the battlefield, is only a temporary set back, to a combat soldier, in the field. We're on the cusp now, of regrowing organs, how long before we're regrowing, or replacing limbs, with artificial, or lab grown ones. I mean, we're only seeing, what the civilian market has achieved. And with our nature, we're always prone to dabble, with things best left alone. Are we seeing glimpses of our future, on alien battlefields, with Halo, or Space Marine type combatants? Or could it even happens right here, on Earth? Our curiosity, always tends to get the best of us..!

[@tedchew1246]

Regarding AI, bear in mind that computer hardware we send into space is not cutting edge. It's decades old processors that have to be hardened to withstand the harsh radiation environment.

But my point is that AI of the type that is flourishing here on Earth may be a long time coming on Mars.

The question is not whether we would be able to get people to go to Mars as colonists. The question is why would they go and what sort of people would they be? If history gives us anything to go by, colonists on Mars would consist of:
1. A few wealthy individuals who control almost everything in the colony
2. An overwhelming majority who have fled to Mars in an attempt to get a better lot in life than is available to them on earth.
3. A handful of the “dregs of society”. People who are sent to Mars because it’s better to send them to Mars than to support them here on earth. For example, Australia started as a prison colony.
What the Mars colony turns into will be determined by how many of each group there are and how well the different groups can function together.

To quote Total Recall..."Get your ass to Mars!"

[@PaulADAigle]

All of this has been talked about before, many times.
The plan should be done in multiple steps:
1. Send good AI bots to Mars.
a. Set up a base for human living by 3D printing from the local dirt into a large hard shell, and then inflate a well-protected room inside of it. The local dirt material would help protect the occupants from radiation and weather in addition to the protection from the inflatable itself.
b. Include an AI base for data and communications, while having AI bots searching the area for underground lava tubes and such. Perfect future habitation locations, as well as mapping.
c. Start AI building the base with ample supplies like food, oxygen, fuel, etc. This would require additional buildings of course.
2. Send people to colonize. They would need to expect the colonization to be permanent. They would also determine what is missing from the plans and request shipments for additional materials.
3. Set up future components like Mars orbiting satellites (better communications), better transport ships with artificial gravity (preferably something that doesn't need to land like the ISS with landing pods-small ships attached), and orbiting tanker structures for easier fueling.

[@classic_sci_fi]

AI will need to get more sophisticated but AI does not have consiousness. They are autonomous within a narrow set of parameters based only on vast quantities of input data. One place where AI would be critical is in diagnosis and probably surgery on site. As for the trauma of changing gravity, the effect is going from low to high, not high to low. In my hard sci-fi novels, the solution are 'resistance suits' made up of soft robotic muscles which counter our own. The idea is to provide resistance for most of our movements like having a constant workout. Set the suits for Earth's 1g. In space, much more needs to be done to use centrifugal gravity rather than exposing people to a year or more of microgravity.

[@honkhonk8009]

I dont think it would be that much of an issue during transit though, since if humans ever do actually go to mars, it would be through stuff like Nuclear Thermal Rockets.
Rockets that would be acccelerating/decelerating constantly to the point artificial gravity prolly wouldnt even be necessary honestly.

[@thorin1045]

the main problem, excitement also not guaranteed. zero g or low g is fun, for a day, interesting for a week, sometimes funny for a month, after that is is just the source of our 'fun' daily two hour exercise (and even if you like exercising, do you like doing the same single machine for an hour long, than switching different for an other hour?) during the travel, boredom will be probably the most dangerous thing. and even after you arrive to mars, how long until it will be routine, and only see all the limitations, starting with the food and drink.

Hardly anybody talks about basing all AI on Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. He foresaw the threat of renegade robotics more than half a century ago, and planned these laws as a safety feature.
All computers to my knowledge have a PROM, of Programmable Read-Only Memory; once set, the programming cannot be changed. Laws could be passed requiring the Three Laws to be programmed into the PROM. Every hardware unit could be marked certified to have the Three Laws; any lacking this certification would be treated like unregistered firearms.
(A possible downside to all this is that comparing every command a robot receives against the Three Laws template could slow down processing time; it would be like running every civil law or regulation no matter how trivial through the U.S. Supreme Court to see if it's Constitutional. There would have to be ways to streamline that procedure without compromising it.)

The Martian economy is taken from an Earth-based perspective. Martians should have their own economy, with their own commodity market and their own currency, that way they can collect taxes and use those funds to better the lives of humans on Mars, such as via terraforming. For example, importing terraforming gases such as liquid nitrogen from Saturn's moon Titan to Mars and liquid carbon dioxide from Venus to Mars has no financial benefit, but a private organisation paid for by the Martian government could do the transportation and be economically viable through taxes from Martians, and loans & grants from Earth. The commodity market would then allow Martians to put a Mars-based price on commodities so that it encourages that commodity to be created locally or imported. Building material such as sheet metal, scaffolding, concrete, seeds, water, atmospheric gases, etc. could all be assigned a dollar value so that transportation companies can figure out where to source it the cheapest and work out the cost of transportation, and then provide a sale price on Mars. The same could be done for the Moon. Outposts on Venus and Titan could put their cost of production on the Mars and Moon commodity markets.

society needs to comprehend and accept one way missions. this will be thee best way of creating a colony

[@Incel_81]

Given the climate of the people of the world this won’t be such a bad idea.

[@BannerMirror501]

It means we’ll be closer to those asteroids, that’s the big reason.

Anything to do with spacefaring in general will be the driving mechanism the economy of Mars. Once the proper infrastructure is established it will much cheaper to build from scratch and launch spacecraft from Mars. Mars would be able to easily monopolized this industry away from Earth.

[@objectshowfan362]

TBH I would go to Mars in a heartbeat because I don't want to be on this planet when it's on its last legs. No matter how bad martian life is, I'd feel more confortable living on a planet that doesn't have a chance of dying in my life or my children's lives (if I ever get married and I, as well as my future wife, decide to have children, of course).

If I’m in my teen years right now then I’m in my 30s we might actually be able to colonize Mars

[@christianalmon4117]

*rightfully pissed off natives* lol i mean thats not wrong obviously, and the way its said so casually is just funny to me

[@grahamseabrook4954]

Does anyone know what "Eath" might be?

[@GryffindorScholar]

I feel the most economic solution to the zero G issue is an artificial gravity field like we keep seeing in sci-fi Hollywood. Unfortunately not being any kind of scientist myself I personally feel the technology is at least decades to maybe another century out of our ability at this point. Just another reason why I say Elon Musk’s whole mars colonization mission is the aspiration of a dreamer.

[@onlypay7679]

What are your thoughts on the potential effects of establishing a Mars colony on Earth? How do you envision this interplanetary endeavor influencing life on our home planet?

[@karlspear6729]

I'm 68 but I would love to go. When do we leave?

[@angusmackaskill3035]

why would anyone want to live there? its always cold, no air nothing to do and nowhere to go

[@richiexp2]

I wonder whether colonizing Mars will be better than building space habitats with gravitational generators.

[@tubewayarmy2]

Would man be able to handle proof that we can never leave this planet and know becoming Star Trekkers is just science fiction.

[@timothymaximsegers]

Lices will not be happy ... imagine how these would feel ar we gone take them along ?
Which animals go ?

[@Jam-In-With-Ben]

hi

[@Siranoxz]

But in all seriousness, if we have the technology to make habitation in space feasible and realistic then we might see humanity separating itself in several ideological groups, like religion, race, scientists, environmental activists, you name it.
It could go either way good or bad.
Open space doesnt care about human ideologies as we do on earth.
The unlimited resources are there already in trillions of asteroid belts, so mining in space will be a lucrative business in the long term.
But one thing i hope that all humans can agree on is to make earth a paradise as we are after all the children of this planet mother earth.
So its in our best interest to preserve planet earth in the utmost respect.

Great video - keep it up! Concise and to the point! A+++

Misspelling at 0:36 EATH.

[@AndriasTravels]

The first six words - "Human beings are going to Mars..." Presumptuous, possibly, not necessarily, and improbably.

[@Braneloc]

On an outer space adventure, they got hit by cosmic rays...

The question is who gives these people the right to make robots like this I mean wow..

"Eath"? I'm betting that's a typo. 0:35
