  • Artist Tom Sachs has recreated an entire four week mission to Mars with nothing but household objects. Working with Nasa and Jet Propulsion Laboratory, his studio created go-kart rovers, wooden rockets, and space sculptures. All of this makes his Park Ave. Armory (NYC) live show "Space Program: Mars" quite the adventure.

    Ironically, in an age when space programs are taken for granted of, people are also becoming less and less actually interested in it because of the amount of fancy tech that goes in it just doesn't hold people's short attention spans. This goes back to the actual heart of real space programs, underneath all that shine; the actual journey that all those involve go through and the creativity and ingenuity needed. This is literally the ultimate cardboard spaceship experience we had as children.

    Do you honestly not have any admiration for the amount of detail put into this project? Do you find all reenactments/movies/plays hipster bullshit? You have playlists on your channel labeled "FOOD!" and "Workouts!!!", that gives me quite a good indication for the type of mindset you have.

    I think your over-exaggerating this whole thing a bit. Its not like NASA has actually hired these people to make a 'play' for them, because of the budget cuts, which is what your proposing with that comment.... Its a bunch of independent artists, which have been lucky enough to have *some* contact with a few people who work for the Jet propulsion lab.
    Also inspiration is an important thing, without it there would be a lot less people interested in becoming our future scientists & engineers.

    I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that artists know little about science. Sure they use different parts of the brain and are very different, but people can have more than one skill. Many artists are very interested in science based work, and this guy clearly knows his stuff and has done his research!

    Yeah we derived a lot from learning about space, but going to mars shouldn't be a priority during a moment when we can't even handle matters at earth. We have enough resources and the agricultural technology for everyone to live independently, but the resources are never distributed equally. Progress isn't just increasing the pool of knowledge. It is also raising the living standards for humanity. You can decide for yourself which should take priority.

    you saw this problem exemplified by the soviet union - they achieved what you are talking about - equal education, pay etc - and they enjoyed great early success but once they needed to grow new technology they foundered. this was because they lacked an organic focus of capital, with goals given instead by a state run by politicians instead of professionals.
    I'm all for a bit of social welfare and better education, but we need rich people with ambition as much as we need a well run state.

    @alex29443 12 лет назад

    as for the thing about the environment; yes, we should have a more ordered and centralised approach to maintaining and improving the balance of the ecosystem, this is a different issue.
    The fact is that there are not enough resources for everyone to do what they want to do, or even what they think they do best. Until there are, we need a system to get people to do stuff they wouldn't otherwise do.
    the current system is too un-equal, but to remove inequality itself is fantasy.

    specialisation is by its very nature un-equal, and it is through specialisation that we have achieved anything meanigful. so far from being bad for us, you could argue that a level of in-equality is entirely necessary.
    What makes you think we'd somehow be better off without money? The desire for material gain has been the principle driver behing every economy and every technology advance throughout all history.
    I'm sorry but you're just deluding yourself.

  • @UnreasonableKnoll
    @UnreasonableKnoll 12 лет назад

    increasing the pool of knowledge in certain fields, knowing more about what's on mars had no coalition to starving people on earth involuntarily funding space programs. I'm not saying space programs are unnecessary, but it's not our priority. And your argument is laughable. You think space programs are going to unite people? People couldn't give two shits, they will still war and hate. Also increase the pool of knowledge on weapons, according to your logic, that also improves living standards.

    standards of living are higher post war than pre war - though fact - deal with it.

    If everyone is the same then people have nothing to aspire to. I'm not saying we shouldn't bring in a bit more equal money distribution, but you need rich people, rich places and reaching for the stars if you are going to have any progress. These are not mutually exclusive goals.

    ...than we'd be years and years more advanced. i completely agree that the wars need to stop, but that has nothing to do with money. war needs to stop because war is damaging in a million different ways. most importantly; it brings us further apart. we dont need rich people, we need equality, and we need to give those that arent fortunate, a chance to not just survive, but thrive. thats when we will become what we are intended to be.

  • @ABertram2323
    @ABertram2323 12 лет назад

    you need rich people, rich places and reaching for the stars if you're going to have any progress? that couldnt be more incorrect. the very fact that we have people who are treated like, and whom act like royalty, is the exact root of problem with our civilization not advancing quicker than it is. you cant become great when everyone isnt on the same page. companies dont get rich being seperated in ideas and goals. id argue that if everyone had an equal chance from birth to achieve their goals..

  • @alex29443
    @alex29443 12 лет назад

    you don't improve medecin by investing more in doctors, all branches of science are involved, so you need to focus on something which encompasses all those branches if you want to see meaningful improvement. a focus which inspires people like space travel is only a good thing, and IT WILL unite people, just not all people.
    the technology developed for wars plainly does benefit living standards, really obviously, but I would prefer a space program, which is cheaper and faster.
