    I want to know how "using the resources we have on Mars in situ" to "we printed with thermoplastics" are actually related?

    • @Toastmaster_5000
      @Toastmaster_5000 5 лет назад +99

      Thermoplastic is a *very* broad term. I'm sure the bulk of the material and rigidity is made from Mars sand but they might have to bring some additives. Some could argue that glass can be used as a thermoplastic (after all, in normal 3D printing terms, the plastic solidifying is called "glassing"), and glass is made of sand.

      Hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen are the three main elements in plastic. The key is producing ethylene gas (C2H4). Carbon dioxide and hydrogen combined in a reaction gives you ethylene and water.
      With some known chemistry discovered in the late 1800s, they can literally create plastics out of thin air. They just need to bring the equipment and hydrogen to mars to get it all started.

      @@lizzy777 Ok, that makes sense. They put 0 effort to explaining how the process of making the material was going to happen. H2 being bulky wouldn't be the best component to bring in large quantities I would imagine. I figure that would be best made from the water on Mars? but the guy said they didn't want to use water due to its preciousness.

Also, a main reason we can’t detect incredibly tiny things like quarks is because simply observing them can change them; to “see something, a photon must bounce off it and into our eyes/a camera.

    I think that if humans or robots planted some seeds and a few bushes including grass, the atmosphere on Mars would start to change due to the introductory of a new gas i.e. Oxygen, what will be let out by the greenery. What would make the Ozone layer start to become thicker, making it more and more suitable for human life.
    Now many many people say that Marses water be under ground and the roots of the greenery that got planted would find liquid that would also be from the snow on Mars.

    moons surface is made of agglutinates, that can be melted in a range of 1000 to 1500 degrees Centi.
    assuming a melting point of around 1200°C. To calculate the energy required to melt 1 kg of agglutinates at this temperature
    we need 330,000 Joules (or 330 kJ) of energy
    If we plan to use solar energy for generating that power.
    A solar panel with an area of approximately 20.2 square meters would be required on the lunar surface to generate the energy required to melt 1 kg of agglutinates in one minute, assuming a solar panel efficiency of 20% and an average solar irradiance of 1361 W/m² on the Moon.

    It is an interesting design. There are some buts though. Radiation scientists anticipate that regolith based polymer concrete on Mars would have to be a foot thick to provide adequate radiation protection. Even scaling up this design won't provide for enough radiation protection not to mention the glass structures or the sun roof which would let the radiation right through. The other issue that nobody is addressing is that the regolith on Mars is filled with perchlorate. I have seen no analysis of what perchlorate contaminated regolith concrete or printed plastic will do to a human. Another serious issue is that as you freeze thermoplastics and at around 150 below zero it would definitely be frozen, thermoplastic has a major tendency to become brittle and crack. With a 1 bar to 0 bar gradient between the inside and outside of these structures they could conceivably just shatter. Having the structure be a foot thick would mitigate that a lot but they aren't planning nor have they proposed a foot thick structure. They would also have to ship a chemical factory up to the planet since thermoplastics are long molecular chains of C, H, N and O. The carbon is somewhat easy to get on the planets surface and by splitting the CO2 you can get oxygen but hydrogen and nitrogen are not up there in any quantity needed to construct thermoplastic. Also, try scaling a plastics manufacturing chemical plant down to something you can fly to Mars. I do not know the exact answer to the energy requirements to make the polymer then melt it for construction but I think the team that is working on the kilopower reactors needs to step up their output by a lot. They can, at most, presently and presently planned, network 4 10 KW reactors together to power anything or everything in some modular unit close by. Good luck with all that.
    There is some sort of a disease impregnating all of these funded experimental projects. They don't meet the fundamental criteria to work in the environment that are supposed to work in. That includes the regolith mining project that can't accomodate simple rocks and depend on having a pure bed of nothing but the proper grain size regolith to work with which is totally absurd. It includes all of these habitat projects also and I have reviewed several. The no gravity environment of space and radiation are not being seriously addressed. The Hall effect thruster project wants 200 KW to ramp up the power of the thrusters for shorter term flights to Mars but the kilopower project can produce 40 for that too. Who is working on Mars dust proof air lock designs and decontamination rooms to remove the dust so it doesn't pollute the inside of a habitat(perchlorate dust regolith again). I haven't seen this. I see plant growing projects showing plants growing in "Mars regollith simulant". It doesn't have perchlorate in it. Water introduced into a perchlorate regolith leaches the perchlorate into the water which uptakes it into the plants so will Mars colonists be eating that? Perchlorate has a nasty tendency to kill plants as well as humans by the way.
    Can humans even be sustained in 1/3rd earth gravity perpetually? Nobody is interested in doing this gravitational science to find out. If I were going to Mars I would want to have some assurance that I would survive the trip, could live there without being poisoned and have enough gravity to maintain my physiology BEFORE I got on the rocket.
