My understanding is that the island of stability in elements is generally accepted. The question is what the half life of these elements would be. This ranges from a few minutes to millions of years. The largest element so far created showed increased stability compared to its predecessor suggesting the concept might be valid.
When you calculate the numbers for humans going to Mars and the return flight like their weight, food, oxygen, equipment, etc and also look at the medical issues like mental, radiation, isolation, no gravity and low gravity, etc, it becomes clear that colonising mars can only be done by robots. Or at least in the start-up phase.
@@jamesfowley4114 But there is no point in sending humans. We're fragile meat bags. Mars is extremely inhospitable. It just makes no sense. And that goes for manned flights in space as a whole. Sending machines gives so much more bang for the buck. Orders of magnitude!
@@mytube001 I’m totally with you. I’m all for sending our tools out into space to do our bidding while we stay here on the best spaceship we have (mother earth). After all, are we not the best tool makers in the universe?
Disagree so much. Medical issues, equipment, radiation protection, and so on are all things that scale the more humans you bring. And robots are still far less capable than humans when it comes to the versatility and will be for the medium term.
Do we need a northern hemisphere equivalent of the Vera Rubin observatory? We could call it Nibur Arev since we are uside down from the Vera Rubin obs.. 🤪
Only if the bot moves like a human, having the same strength as a human, with the same flexibility and then you'd have to simulate fatigue, and finding rub points that will cause chafing, places that don't get enough ventilation to prevent sweat rash etc.
What are the chances we'll see SpaceX (or somebody else) announce/move forward plans for building space infrastructure? Things like refueling stations or comm relays in space, specifically for servicing craft with destinations other than LEO
The infrastructure is mostly planned for the moon. Everyone is already racing to try to get it going first. That’s why there were so many moon landings in 2024. As for communications, they are already working on extending the internet from LEO to the moon. I guess I’m saying that these things are not only planned, but underway. It’s going to take generations to get it really moving though. We have an amazing future ahead of us if we can just keep from killing ourselves off or creating a Skynet to do it for us… 😂😂
I did a study allowing for solar panels operating at the level of the Spirit rover. A starship can transport a cybertruck, 40 Optimus androids, and the panels to recharge eight at a time to Mars and only use 50 tonnes. Furthermore, the cybertruck can transport enough panels for a road trip of unlimited distances with a crew of four robots if they stop four days at a time to recharge the truck and the crew.
His truck has problems functioning in normal winter conditions and you think it can operate on Mars? As Fraser mentioned, landers and rovers sent to Mars are specifically designed to function and its environment. Tweaking one of his products made for the general public isn't going to cut it.
Yeah, the Cyber truck isn’t even practical on Earth. You’d be better off building rovers that just unfurl/unfold your solar cells instead of trying to pack them around with robots and load them on trucks. Then you have the added benefit that your panels are always ready to move or stow when those Martian dust storms get busy. Permanent solar installations would probably not the way to go initially.
Test out the Tesla Bots on the Moon during the Artimis first Moon landing test next year. They can unload equipment and supply on the Moon prior to a Man flight. Leave them behind to Prep the site with homing becons at a safe site. These could include rovers.
Again, stupid for the use case. We almost never need humanoid-shaped machines, we need tools dedicated to the job they do. I'm also sure they are not radiation hardened enough and their joints and motors would be nowhere near lunar dust resistant. These are just adverts for Musk's image so people will invest with him, they are not even working and available here on Earth, let alone space-worthy.
Hello Sir, I really appreciate your dedication to express the scientific research and what is known for us listening. My question is; what is your opinion exoplanets orbiting other stars, do you think that we should consider that other planets might rotate around their system equatorially like Earth or possibly polarlly like Uranus whose northern (or southern) pole always pointing towards their home star in their orbital plain. Would you consider a 50/50 chance of either/ or equatorial rotation vs polar rotation, or more likely a 90/10 owing is rotation to some point of action or collision in that planet's past that would tip a planet over unto is side. It would be fascinating to me that if when we find exoplanets orbiting other stars that they were equally (50/50 chance) to be rotated both equatorial and polarlly because of conditions found there that may contribute to their own strange & unique formation. Thank you for your shows and the responses you give, every episode is fascinating gift to learn more about our universe and us as people to learn so much about the heavens and our life on Earth 🌍. Happy 2025! 👍🏼
I would agree that AI automated diggers and rock crushers, etc. will certainly be a part of preparing habitats, landing pads and whatever else is needed prior to human arrival. But, when one of those breaks or a part wears out, how will it be repaired or that part replaced? Bingo, then you need an android. They won't be operating, but they will be maintaining. And, like humans, which are quite versatile, they can do things that haven't been anticipated.
I agree. I don’t think we should send a bunch of humanoid robots to the moon or mars, but we certainly need a few on both. The advantage of robots is that they can be engineered to excel at specific tasks. The advantage of androids is that we know how to use that form for any task that needs to be done in any circumstance it needs to be done in..
I think the most interesting question for 2025 and beyond in space related stories is the new NASA administrator and his probable changes. What about the human moon missions, what about the high cost and slow projects, Hubble repair, etc. :)
@@strawberryfields5074 Rush were a fantastic band. I suspect you've never heard anything of theirs. The Tragically Hip, Arcade Fire, Crown Lands, Steppenwolf, BTO, Nickelback Alanis Morssette's Jagged Little Pill is an alltime classic. What's your thing?
Hi Fraser. Is it possible to save and upgrade astronomy from mega constellation internet satellites like Starlink by mounting telescopes on the same satellites' space-facing sides and work as a telemetry. If this is possible, this can be a game changer and used to view the universe like Google Earth does, but as a live view for a tiny access fee. The LIVE nature here is what's interesting. It means access to high-end telescopes will be cheap and easy for anyone on Earth to live view any viewable object in the sky regardless of the time of day to them. Most people who have never seen the solar system around us will be able to for the first time. Astronomers will have a 360 live view of the sky (not too sure how good the telescopes could get, but since hundreds can be used to make one image won't the image res be high) with specialised optics and equipment mounted on them for live 360 sky science. Maybe you can try to push this towards Elon or Gwen.
The biggest problem with that is the the sats are in low Earth orbit, meaning they move really fast around the Earth to stay in that orbit. A camera needs many seconds/ minutes of exposure time to get a useable photo, especially telescopes/ lenses small enough to fit on a starlink. The movement of the sats will cause the image to become motion blurry unless they use very short exposures which wouldn't produce any worthwhile photos. If you're curious, the RAW images from both Hubble and JWST are avaible online for free for anyone to download, but they're of course in black and white, still really cool to spend some time looking into.
@@unlucky5442 the camera would just have to track the target, similar to how telescopes on Earth and space already have to. The Hubble orbits at a very similar altitude to Starlink satellites (both around 550km above Earth). There are probably lots of other issues that make this impractical, but its probably more along the lines of cost and 'why?' given that they'd just be small telescopes unless you manage to link them interferometrically (much much harder).
@@RandomUser311 I don't think SpaceX would want their starlink sats to move to track an object anyways considering they have to have their antenna pointed in a specific direction to beam data to Earth and link with other starlink sats. The camera/ telescopes itself could move, but the satellites don't have a lot of room on them for that kind of equipment, they're very flat after all. It was a fun thought experiment tho, but as you said, impractical in the real world.
The crucial thing about deep sea vents is - did the life that is there now originate there, or did it originate elsewhere, and evolve to cope with the conditions around the vents? If it originated there, then it's worth looking for equivalent conditions elsewhere in the system, and further out. But if it just evolved to cope with the extreme conditions around the vents, having originated in less extreme conditions, then you may be wasting billions chasing something that is not there. The same applies to all extremophiles - did they originate in the extreme places, or did they evolve to cope with them? If they evolved to cope with them, then extremophiles of any kind are not evidence that life is widespread throughout the universe, however lovely that would be. We may just be chasing moonbeams here. ;-)
@baarni better do this than do like Dilma Rousseff, former brasilian president. "And we are not going to set a goal, we are going to leave an open goal. When we reach the goal, we double the goal." ruclips.net/video/xfnrQSLCJoQ/видео.htmlsi=deMHaJxncCxNWBJs
What’s the likelihood that we will get a new simple fairing that sits on a starship booster so we can have a bigger payload rocket than falcon heavy for maybe putting small private stations in space.
Imagine a tidally locked earth like planet that hosted life on the dark side, all the life there would have evolved to survive in pitch black conditions and all the crazy interactions that would take place along the terminator between life that can see and life that has evolved other senses to survive in the dark.
The ones in that gazebo? They were from his robotaxi/RoboVan (ro-Bo-vin?) unveiling from Oct, 2024. No, they were plugged in and did a preprogrammed Go-Go dancing routine of sorts for ~15 min at a time, on a loop. There were a few interacting with the audience - one mixing drinks behind a bar for a bit. But as you probably know, they were being teleoperated.
I was wondering that if humans were to move to the moon or Mars for any length of time, would weighted suits help them with the lower gravity. I don't know what the effects of lower gravity would have on the internals of the human body, but would carrying weight in a suit, making them the same weight on a set of scales as they would be on earth, be beneficial? A weighted exoskeleton, in effect.
it could help prevent loss of muscle mass to an extent but since the insides of the body aren't affected, there would still be issues like higher blood pressure in the upper parts of the body
@@martinmurphy9679 How heavy do you think all the equipment and the space suit weighed, when the apollo astronauts walked on the moon? Changing how heavy you are does not change the gravity you experience, only the physical effort it takes to change speed and direction. Hence "help to prevent muscle mass loss", though i doubt any significate measurable effect in reality.
You made a great point here: "You don't need a humanoid robot until you have a humanoid environment." On the other hand... hmmm... maybe it's just easier to design for what WOULD be a humaniod environment eventually, because you are a human designing for it. At least then you can just have a human step in anywhere along the line eventually, because you already made a human-shaped space in the process. Debateable either way.
You can easily make an environment for humans using robots that are properly dedicated to the job, say a bot that puts panels in place and another bot that welds them together. There is absolutely not reason to make such bots humanoid, with all the added complexity and potential failure states that would entail.
@@PinataOblongata Well, since they are already making/developing humanoid robots that will be effective at such tasks anyway, it's probably irrelevant if you or I think it's necessary. They will exist, there will be a demand for them in general, and so they will end up getting employed in lots of places.
I’m curious about the tidal locking. Cuz these stars are much less massive than the sun so their gravitational pull is smaller. Mercury if I remember correctly can get as close as 36 million miles from the sun and it is not tidally locked. So what exactly would the distance need to be for these exoplanets have to be for the smaller red dwarf to tidally lock it’s planets? L
Hey Fraser, lets say NASA finds something like a tree or forest like life growing on another planet that is thriving on alien growth. Which tests would we use to try and guess the age of the trees?
Re: Formation of Life - Ok, we have no direct evidence, so we don't know how it DID happen, but since chemistry and biology exist as subjects, we know how life LIKELY formed on earth from the simple gases that were present on the primordial earth. Since those gases readily dissolve in water, we expect that life first formed in the oceans, likely around hydrothermal vents, that could supply all the necessary energy for the making and breaking of chemical bonds.
2025 predictions. Easy ones: Vera Rubin identifies Planets 9 and 10. Starship gets to catch and reuse a booster, but not the ship. Someone else, not just SpaceX, will successfully land a booster. There will be at least three successful lunar landings (not Starship/HLS). Tentative guesses. We will get evidence of an exoplanet atmosphere with constituents compatible with life. Launch cadences are very high and we haven’t had a significant safety issue in a while, we’re going to get at least one major mission loss or an on orbit collision that causes real problems. China will carry out the first of a number of high orbit crewed flights to prep for moon orbit and landing.
Some humanoid bots will likely be there at the very beginning along with big equipment, for psychological reasons. Humans can envision themselves better after they see the bots in the first habitats and greenhouses and tending to them inside.
Hay Frasher, 1. Why do they have live streams on certain utube channels? On Beetlejuice saying it's going to blow any minute? So what's your prediction on that? And 2. Why does NASA have such a hard time getting back to the moon? And why was it easier to get to the moon in the 60's? What's your predictions has to when NASA will get to the moon? And finally Whats taking so long for SpaceX to go to Mars? And wouldn't it make more since for SpaceX to go to the Moon frist; before taking a Gaint leap to Mars? What's your prediction where SpaceX will go frist? Because so far it seems all talk! Much of my Love&Light many Blissings and successes Namesta 🙏💜
Because sensationalism lures people in and that means views and that means profit. NASA isn't having a hard time getting back, the problem is they want to take a LOT more material this time, that means much larger rockets. Spacex isn't going to Mars until they have the means to do it a lot and cheaply, that's the point behind starship. What does spending the fuel to stop at the moon provide when your destination is Mars?
It wasn't easier to go to the Moon in the 60's. It was just a bigger political will and a huge budget that made it possible. Today NASA don't have nearly the same funding and going to the Moon haven't been a priority. Also in the 60's it was a race to get there first. Now there is not the same urgency. What is taking SpaceX so long? Space is hard. They are still doing testing with Starship.
I think you can start to write Tesla off as having any future when it comes to space explorations. I have enough problems right now just producing their cars
What is the probability that a far infrared telescope project is developed and approved in 2025? There's a lack of specialized observatories on this band but they would be essential for studying cooler astronomical objects, like star-forming regions and distant galaxies.
Does the Vera Rubin team have software that will be able to handle that much data and keep track of everything that changes night to night? 20 terabytes a night seems like a lot of data.
Humans never see most of the data that comes in. They use searches for the data that they want to study, and the software also looks for highly anomalous data(anything unusual/strange). After that, the rest gets archived. Then when we make further advances down the line, they will use those better/stronger/faster supercomputers in the future to comb the archives of data for things we missed or failed to comprehend. But yeah, our supercomputers can handle the load. We just don’t have enough knowledge to use it all just yet. We do however make a lot of discoveries every year out of data that have been collected by telescopes that no longer exist, so at least we know that none of the data collected is wasted… 😂
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. The surface of Mars is orange-red because it is covered in iron(III) oxide dust, giving it the nickname "the Red Planet".
I think that the tesla bots or some other general purpose robot could still be a worthy addition to the other more specialized robots. There is always unforeseen circumstances and endless things could go wrong with the special purpose robots. Having a few general purpose ones could save the day. Although I believe robotic dogs with 2+ robotic arms could be a more useful and resilient configuration than humanoids.
I have a question I’ve been wondering for a few years that I’ve never seen anyone touch on. Is it possible for a planet to have a spin speed fast enough to lower gravity (due to centrifugal force)? If it is, is it possible to reach an equilibrium where you are floating just above the surface? Hopefully this made sense 😂
6000K - это голубой, с изрядной долей УФ (ультрафиолета). Солнце является "жёлтым" благодаря релеевскому рассеянию коротковолновой части спектра на молекулах кислорода, в нашей чистой, благодаря гидросфере, атмосфере. Весь голубой рассеивается в небе, благодаря этому у нас и голубой цвет неба. Попробуйте купить лампочку на 6000K, - и вы увидите приближение того, как выглядит свет Солнца за пределами атмосферы. Так что то, что вам продают белые лампочки, даже не является правильным отражением того, каким на самом деле выглядит свет Солнца
Sun has temperature 6000K, and black body light spectre. It is extremely blue light, and Sun class is "Yellow Dwarf" is only because of atmosphere of Earth filtered short-wave light because of Rayleigh scattering. You see blue sky and red sunrise because Rayleigh scattering. Just buy light bulb with 6000K for estimation of true spectrum of Sun light without Earth atmosphere filter
Yellow sun, blue atmosphere. With paints that would give you green for sure, but with light, you’re going to get white from yellow and blue. If our ocean was still red from iron oxides like it was billions of years ago, our lightbulbs would be orange.
The sun is white; it just looks yellow because of our atmosphere. If you look at pictures of space with our sun in the background, you will see it as white.
Please send Elon in the first wave and the ginormous impact crater that results will forever be remembered as the "Musk Hole" or perhaps "Elon's Folly"......make it so.
If planet 9 is found, will it be named? Something other than "Planet 9"? And who names planets anyway? Are they different in each language, eg not just a translation of the same word?
Good point about TeslaBot plastics. There are two main ways that nature degrades plastics - Free radical degradation and UV degradation. Either one will result in plastics becoming brittle and eventually useless, regardless of whether they're thermoplastics, thermosets, or elastic. Alternatively, the problem with radiation causing problems with RAM/ processors/ etc, isn't an insurmountable problem. As long as they have enough space/ memory/ speed/ power for error correction, that's a problem that can be solved. Having said that, though, it'll likely be a while before that problem IS solved, as even the error correction mechanisms will need error correcting themselves, in a radiation-rich environment such as Mars' surface. I don't see Elon Muck either foreseeing this problem, or listening to people who tell him that this is a problem, so, again, it's likely going to be a while before such a problem is properly solved.
Venus is a special case though. It doesn’t spin the same direction as the rest of the solar system. It was probably hit by something big enough to alter its spin at some point in the last 5 billion years. I believe that most tidally locked planets orbit fairly close to their host star. Gravity pulls the rotation off much faster the closer you get. I read somewhere that earth’s days were only 21 hours long about billion years ago, so it would seem like we are rotating a little slower than we were then. I also read though, that the melting icecaps may be speeding up our rotation in more recent years. To your question though, when you give anything long enough it will always move towards entropy. So if we do nothing to alter our own spin, and no large bodies pass through the solar system to alter things, then yes, maybe the earth would eventually become tidally locked. Kind of a big if though. If we’re around on this planet in another 5 billion years when the days are getting really short and we don’t have the tech to fix it, then we deserve whatever we get. 😂🎉😂
@@Domarnett Sure, but if it happened here in our solar system, it can happen anywhere. Thus there could easily be an earth like planet tidally locked around a sun like star?
@ plenty of Tesla’s in Norway that work just fine ;-) and they are not a warm sunny country so my conclusion is that if your remark is true then you Canadians aren’t very good with tech 😂
Of course that's absurd. Consumer-level equipment designed for an Earth environment has no place exposed to the Martian elements. The Teslabots are exceedingly primitive, capable of preprogrammed actions but nothing involving comprehending or adapting to its environment. I take every word from Musk's mouth with a bag of salt.
Predictions: SpaceX will make at least 20 Starship launches, 25 is possible, but they may fall short. New Glenn might make 3. SLS will be cancelled. Other space startups (Rocketlab, Vast, Orbital Reef, Starlab) will have another year of successes. Vera Ruben Observatory will find planet 9, and maybe more than 1.
I think you ignore the usefulness of humanoid robots. They can in theory fix your robot excavators and other infrastructure. The heavy machines do the heavy work. Then the tesla bot does the fiddly bits, instead of creating one time bespoke and expensive solutions. I would be shocked if mars versions are not a parallel but low priority design task. Even if they only last a few weeks each, just keep spare bots and parts and have them fix the faulty one. a Lot of the work where a bot is needed might be indoors too. Limit exposure the same way humans would as well, go outside only when needed.
Military grade semiconductors are emp, temp and robust =mars? Plastics come in all kinds that can withstand different environments. Materials science should not be assumed to stand still. Thanks?
100% Elon will send Tesla Bots to Mars on the first ship to land, the information gained would be invaluable, against the cost of a few bots. I would even go as far as saying he should send them on the first ship to land on the moon. As for Nasa Bots they have to endure the journey through space and are over engineered. Elon does not think like that, send a Bot and see how it performs, learn, build a better bot.
We don't care about sooo many other things here on Earth we should strongly care about, why care about a most certainly dead rock, moon or planet in space?.
Are TeslaBots even real? Have they done anything outside of a Tesla controlled environment? Aren't they just Disney-style animatronics? Why not send some Boston Dynamics doggos out there? They have at least show some signs of limited autonomy.
Tesla bots... those things were being remote controlled and are decades away from use, anyways Im glad for the distinct lack of muskrat's name mentioned on here Fraser, you are Canadian after all so hopefully you are seeing whats happening down there and rather be talking about the accomplishments of SpaceX staff, not ketamine notes written on bar napkins

My guess is that he realizes how bad the crock of Naz!s now in charge of the US are, but prefers to remain neutral and give some meat to those muskrats from time to time, just to not piss them off and lose subscribers... Or, he is a right-winger as well and doesn't say it but I don't think so, he's to intelligent for that. As far as the Tesla geriatric bots are concerned, yeah, it's just fluff, vaporware, another scam to pump up the company stock. And there are enough tech bro investor baboons out there to shell money for that... But there are absolute baboons who fell for that obvious scam, especially during the last presentation. The fact that some of those muskrats thought those barely functioning robots where sentient is peak stupidity. Mind boggling. Total peasant brain, flat earth level. Pure Darwinian regression, if I may say so myself...
Yep. Another sad bone thrown at deranged Musk cult members just to not piss them off probably and lose subscribers... Not very serious indeed. It is what it is, that is the state of the conversation around space exploration now, thanks to those insane cultists.
Honestly Frasier I couldn't give a * Musk related space efforts. He is not the same man he was 10 years ago, which perchance has something to do with his intake of "horse medicine", allegedly.

Of course Tesla bots will be going. Why do you think he's building them? Why do you think he has the Boring company? Did you miss their new tunneling machine that can start digging with zero surface prep work? Why would you build a machine like that? It's all Mars, all the time with Elon.
Hey Fraser, I know this is a science channel, but isn't it time for some loud condemnation of the fascist Elon Musk leading us into a literal cyberpunk dystopia?
Because you disagree politically with him he is a fascist? A majority of americans voted for Trump who Musk supports, does that mean then that the majority of Americans are fascists?

@@georgeclune3282 Like what? Give me examples don't just ask me to do research, it is your claim that he is a fascist you have the burden of proof. I'm willing to listen and if you give me good evidence that he is a fascist or even a Nuzy or a communist, I'm willing to say he is; I just haven't seen good evidence for any of these claims. To me he is just a classic republican from the 90s or 80s for most of his political opinions: cut down the size of government, stop illigal immigration, no LGBTQ+ support (which most republicans and democrats in the 80s and 90s would have agreed with him on), and so on.... I have never seen him say that the american people were better genetically, I have never seen him say that he wanted major american industries nationalised like the fascists, I have never heard him say he wanted to create a militart political group, and he doesn't want to expand more welfare programs so not a socialist either. I just don't see the inherent fascism anywhere close to what Mussolini was saying in the 1930s

Hello Sir, I really appreciate your dedication to express the scientific research and what is known for us listening.
My question is; what is your opinion exoplanets orbiting other stars, do you think that we should consider that other planets might rotate around their system equatorially like Earth or possibly polarlly like Uranus whose northern (or southern) pole always pointing towards their home star in their orbital plain.
Would you consider a 50/50 chance of either/ or equatorial rotation vs polar rotation, or more likely a 90/10 owing is rotation to some point of action or collision in that planet's past that would tip a planet over unto is side.
It would be fascinating to me that if when we find exoplanets orbiting other stars that they were equally (50/50 chance) to be rotated both equatorial and polarlly because of conditions found there that may contribute to their own strange & unique formation.
Thank you for your shows and the responses you give, every episode is fascinating gift to learn more about our universe and us as people to learn so much about the heavens and our life on Earth 🌍.
Happy 2025! 👍🏼
I would agree that AI automated diggers and rock crushers, etc. will certainly be a part of preparing habitats, landing pads and whatever else is needed prior to human arrival. But, when one of those breaks or a part wears out, how will it be repaired or that part replaced? Bingo, then you need an android. They won't be operating, but they will be maintaining. And, like humans, which are quite versatile, they can do things that haven't been anticipated.
I agree. I don’t think we should send a bunch of humanoid robots to the moon or mars, but we certainly need a few on both. The advantage of robots is that they can be engineered to excel at specific tasks. The advantage of androids is that we know how to use that form for any task that needs to be done in any circumstance it needs to be done in..
I don't think there's life in the bottom of my vodka bottle either 🫣🫢😵

@@strawberryfields5074 Rush were a fantastic band. I suspect you've never heard anything of theirs. The Tragically Hip, Arcade Fire, Crown Lands, Steppenwolf, BTO, Nickelback Alanis Morssette's Jagged Little Pill is an alltime classic. What's your thing?
Hi Fraser, when will you return to Australia? please come to Adelaide, my bucket list is having a beer with you under the stars.
Hi Fraser. Is it possible to save and upgrade astronomy from mega constellation internet satellites like Starlink by mounting telescopes on the same satellites' space-facing sides and work as a telemetry. If this is possible, this can be a game changer and used to view the universe like Google Earth does, but as a live view for a tiny access fee. The LIVE nature here is what's interesting.
It means access to high-end telescopes will be cheap and easy for anyone on Earth to live view any viewable object in the sky regardless of the time of day to them.
Most people who have never seen the solar system around us will be able to for the first time.
Astronomers will have a 360 live view of the sky (not too sure how good the telescopes could get, but since hundreds can be used to make one image won't the image res be high) with specialised optics and equipment mounted on them for live 360 sky science.
Maybe you can try to push this towards Elon or Gwen.
The biggest problem with that is the the sats are in low Earth orbit, meaning they move really fast around the Earth to stay in that orbit. A camera needs many seconds/ minutes of exposure time to get a useable photo, especially telescopes/ lenses small enough to fit on a starlink. The movement of the sats will cause the image to become motion blurry unless they use very short exposures which wouldn't produce any worthwhile photos. If you're curious, the RAW images from both Hubble and JWST are avaible online for free for anyone to download, but they're of course in black and white, still really cool to spend some time looking into.
@@unlucky5442 the camera would just have to track the target, similar to how telescopes on Earth and space already have to. The Hubble orbits at a very similar altitude to Starlink satellites (both around 550km above Earth). There are probably lots of other issues that make this impractical, but its probably more along the lines of cost and 'why?' given that they'd just be small telescopes unless you manage to link them interferometrically (much much harder).
@@RandomUser311 I don't think SpaceX would want their starlink sats to move to track an object anyways considering they have to have their antenna pointed in a specific direction to beam data to Earth and link with other starlink sats. The camera/ telescopes itself could move, but the satellites don't have a lot of room on them for that kind of equipment, they're very flat after all. It was a fun thought experiment tho, but as you said, impractical in the real world.
Living on Mars would essentially be like living in a submarine, but on Hardcore difficulty.
It would not be for the faint of heart for the first decades!
The crucial thing about deep sea vents is - did the life that is there now originate there, or did it originate elsewhere, and evolve to cope with the conditions around the vents?
If it originated there, then it's worth looking for equivalent conditions elsewhere in the system, and further out. But if it just evolved to cope with the extreme conditions around the vents, having originated in less extreme conditions, then you may be wasting billions chasing something that is not there.
The same applies to all extremophiles - did they originate in the extreme places, or did they evolve to cope with them? If they evolved to cope with them, then extremophiles of any kind are not evidence that life is widespread throughout the universe, however lovely that would be. We may just be chasing moonbeams here. ;-)
For 2025, I predict that the Vera Rubin Observatory will find 100k asteroids, 1k Jupiter trojans, 100 Jupiter moons, 1k Saturn trojans, 100 Saturn moons, 1k centaurs, 50 Uranus moons, 50 Neptune moons, 100 dwarf planets, 10k TNO, 5k comets, 3 planets, 1k red dwarf stars, 10k brown dwarves, 1k white dwarf stars, 100 neutron stars and... 10 stellar mass black holes!

looool tesla gonna have functioning robots right after it gts to mars which will be right after it launches the robo-taxi fleet
What’s the likelihood that we will get a new simple fairing that sits on a starship booster so we can have a bigger payload rocket than falcon heavy for maybe putting small private stations in space.
Unironically I believe they should make a semi-expendable stage for this reason.
We've already figured out how life was formed. In the beginning...
Imagine a tidally locked earth like planet that hosted life on the dark side, all the life there would have evolved to survive in pitch black conditions and all the crazy interactions that would take place along the terminator between life that can see and life that has evolved other senses to survive in the dark.
19:00 are those teslabots actually working? They are not just remotely controlled?
The ones in that gazebo? They were from his robotaxi/RoboVan (ro-Bo-vin?) unveiling from Oct, 2024. No, they were plugged in and did a preprogrammed Go-Go dancing routine of sorts for ~15 min at a time, on a loop.
There were a few interacting with the audience - one mixing drinks behind a bar for a bit. But as you probably know, they were being teleoperated.
I was wondering that if humans were to move to the moon or Mars for any length of time, would weighted suits help them with the lower gravity. I don't know what the effects of lower gravity would have on the internals of the human body, but would carrying weight in a suit, making them the same weight on a set of scales as they would be on earth, be beneficial? A weighted exoskeleton, in effect.
it could help prevent loss of muscle mass to an extent
but since the insides of the body aren't affected, there would still be issues like higher blood pressure in the upper parts of the body
@@jaye3 Thank you so much for your reply. It's going to be so difficult for mankind to expand into the universe.
@@martinmurphy9679 How heavy do you think all the equipment and the space suit weighed, when the apollo astronauts walked on the moon?
Changing how heavy you are does not change the gravity you experience, only the physical effort it takes to change speed and direction. Hence "help to prevent muscle mass loss", though i doubt any significate measurable effect in reality.
@@CBEnoddyy Six times lighter than when they walked on the earth in it I guess.
You made a great point here: "You don't need a humanoid robot until you have a humanoid environment." On the other hand... hmmm... maybe it's just easier to design for what WOULD be a humaniod environment eventually, because you are a human designing for it. At least then you can just have a human step in anywhere along the line eventually, because you already made a human-shaped space in the process. Debateable either way.
You can easily make an environment for humans using robots that are properly dedicated to the job, say a bot that puts panels in place and another bot that welds them together. There is absolutely not reason to make such bots humanoid, with all the added complexity and potential failure states that would entail.
@@PinataOblongata Well, since they are already making/developing humanoid robots that will be effective at such tasks anyway, it's probably irrelevant if you or I think it's necessary. They will exist, there will be a demand for them in general, and so they will end up getting employed in lots of places.
So Vera Rubin is the Everything, Everywhere, all at Once telescope?
What’s a Patreon? Do you not do this for Love?
Question : how many questions did "phooogle" ask you ever?
I've always said that we will never live on the moon, or mars... But our robots will.
I’m curious about the tidal locking. Cuz these stars are much less massive than the sun so their gravitational pull is smaller. Mercury if I remember correctly can get as close as 36 million miles from the sun and it is not tidally locked. So what exactly would the distance need to be for these exoplanets have to be for the smaller red dwarf to tidally lock it’s planets? L
Hey Fraser, lets say NASA finds something like a tree or forest like life growing on another planet that is thriving on alien growth. Which tests would we use to try and guess the age of the trees?
Re: Formation of Life -
Ok, we have no direct evidence, so we don't know how it DID happen, but since chemistry and biology exist as subjects, we know how life LIKELY formed on earth from the simple gases that were present on the primordial earth. Since those gases readily dissolve in water, we expect that life first formed in the oceans, likely around hydrothermal vents, that could supply all the necessary energy for the making and breaking of chemical bonds.
Petition to change Earth 2.0 to Earths, a la the Alien franchise
Fervently denied.
2025 predictions.
Easy ones: Vera Rubin identifies Planets 9 and 10. Starship gets to catch and reuse a booster, but not the ship. Someone else, not just SpaceX, will successfully land a booster. There will be at least three successful lunar landings (not Starship/HLS).
Tentative guesses.
We will get evidence of an exoplanet atmosphere with constituents compatible with life.
Launch cadences are very high and we haven’t had a significant safety issue in a while, we’re going to get at least one major mission loss or an on orbit collision that causes real problems.
China will carry out the first of a number of high orbit crewed flights to prep for moon orbit and landing.
Some humanoid bots will likely be there at the very beginning along with big equipment, for psychological reasons. Humans can envision themselves better after they see the bots in the first habitats and greenhouses and tending to them inside.
Hay Frasher, 1. Why do they have live streams on certain utube channels? On Beetlejuice saying it's going to blow any minute? So what's your prediction on that? And 2. Why does NASA have such a hard time getting back to the moon? And why was it easier to get to the moon in the 60's? What's your predictions has to when NASA will get to the moon? And finally Whats taking so long for SpaceX to go to Mars? And wouldn't it make more since for SpaceX to go to the Moon frist; before taking a Gaint leap to Mars? What's your prediction where SpaceX will go frist? Because so far it seems all talk! Much of my Love&Light many Blissings and successes Namesta 🙏💜
Because sensationalism lures people in and that means views and that means profit. NASA isn't having a hard time getting back, the problem is they want to take a LOT more material this time, that means much larger rockets. Spacex isn't going to Mars until they have the means to do it a lot and cheaply, that's the point behind starship. What does spending the fuel to stop at the moon provide when your destination is Mars?
It could explode tomorrow, it could explode in a million years. We don’t know
It wasn't easier to go to the Moon in the 60's. It was just a bigger political will and a huge budget that made it possible. Today NASA don't have nearly the same funding and going to the Moon haven't been a priority. Also in the 60's it was a race to get there first. Now there is not the same urgency.
What is taking SpaceX so long? Space is hard. They are still doing testing with Starship.

How does our solar system’s asteroid number and impact rate compared to other star systems (corrected for age)?
Impossible to know.
Where did life start? Well, according to Star Trek: The Next Generation, life began in France.
Will our local group ever colide with another "local group" or are they just expanding away from us too fast for that to happen?
I think you can start to write Tesla off as having any future when it comes to space explorations. I have enough problems right now just producing their cars
Future is scary
Let's discover
How long would the bots work on Earth without direct human maintenance?
And can they actually do anything useful on Mars? Do we give them shovels?
Yet again you managed to put a wet blanket on space x after recieving a question that could have had potentially exciting aspects to talk about
What is the probability that a far infrared telescope project is developed and approved in 2025? There's a lack of specialized observatories on this band but they would be essential for studying cooler astronomical objects, like star-forming regions and distant galaxies.
Does the Vera Rubin team have software that will be able to handle that much data and keep track of everything that changes night to night? 20 terabytes a night seems like a lot of data.
Humans never see most of the data that comes in. They use searches for the data that they want to study, and the software also looks for highly anomalous data(anything unusual/strange). After that, the rest gets archived. Then when we make further advances down the line, they will use those better/stronger/faster supercomputers in the future to comb the archives of data for things we missed or failed to comprehend. But yeah, our supercomputers can handle the load. We just don’t have enough knowledge to use it all just yet. We do however make a lot of discoveries every year out of data that have been collected by telescopes that no longer exist, so at least we know that none of the data collected is wasted… 😂
What are some good opportunities for citizen-science?
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. The surface of Mars is orange-red because it is covered in iron(III) oxide dust, giving it the nickname "the Red Planet".
like where life came from, cosmogenesis is probably an isomorphic subset of some information agnostic abiogenesis paradigm
I think that the tesla bots or some other general purpose robot could still be a worthy addition to the other more specialized robots. There is always unforeseen circumstances and endless things could go wrong with the special purpose robots. Having a few general purpose ones could save the day. Although I believe robotic dogs with 2+ robotic arms could be a more useful and resilient configuration than humanoids.
Starship catch. Starship reuse. Orbital fuel storage
Have astrophysicists figured out why there was a tiny fraction more of matter than antimatter in the beginning?
I think that is still a subject for debate.
I have a question I’ve been wondering for a few years that I’ve never seen anyone touch on.
Is it possible for a planet to have a spin speed fast enough to lower gravity (due to centrifugal force)?
If it is, is it possible to reach an equilibrium where you are floating just above the surface?
Hopefully this made sense 😂
7:50 ... QUESTION: If our sun is a YELLOW dwarf star, why are "daylight balanced" light bulbs so unrelentingly WHITE...?
6000K - это голубой, с изрядной долей УФ (ультрафиолета). Солнце является "жёлтым" благодаря релеевскому рассеянию коротковолновой части спектра на молекулах кислорода, в нашей чистой, благодаря гидросфере, атмосфере. Весь голубой рассеивается в небе, благодаря этому у нас и голубой цвет неба.
Попробуйте купить лампочку на 6000K, - и вы увидите приближение того, как выглядит свет Солнца за пределами атмосферы.
Так что то, что вам продают белые лампочки, даже не является правильным отражением того, каким на самом деле выглядит свет Солнца
Sun has temperature 6000K, and black body light spectre. It is extremely blue light, and Sun class is "Yellow Dwarf" is only because of atmosphere of Earth filtered short-wave light because of Rayleigh scattering. You see blue sky and red sunrise because Rayleigh scattering.
Just buy light bulb with 6000K for estimation of true spectrum of Sun light without Earth atmosphere filter
Yellow sun, blue atmosphere. With paints that would give you green for sure, but with light, you’re going to get white from yellow and blue. If our ocean was still red from iron oxides like it was billions of years ago, our lightbulbs would be orange.
The sun is white; it just looks yellow because of our atmosphere. If you look at pictures of space with our sun in the background, you will see it as white.
Please send Elon in the first wave and the ginormous impact crater that results will forever be remembered as the "Musk Hole" or perhaps "Elon's Folly"......make it so.
Why?
If planet 9 is found, will it be named? Something other than "Planet 9"? And who names planets anyway? Are they different in each language, eg not just a translation of the same word?
Good point about TeslaBot plastics. There are two main ways that nature degrades plastics - Free radical degradation and UV degradation. Either one will result in plastics becoming brittle and eventually useless, regardless of whether they're thermoplastics, thermosets, or elastic.
Alternatively, the problem with radiation causing problems with RAM/ processors/ etc, isn't an insurmountable problem. As long as they have enough space/ memory/ speed/ power for error correction, that's a problem that can be solved. Having said that, though, it'll likely be a while before that problem IS solved, as even the error correction mechanisms will need error correcting themselves, in a radiation-rich environment such as Mars' surface. I don't see Elon Muck either foreseeing this problem, or listening to people who tell him that this is a problem, so, again, it's likely going to be a while before such a problem is properly solved.
One day there will be lots of factorys in space with bots creating more bots and we will have trillions gathering stuff for us lowly plebs.
What is the likelihood of our prevailing ΛCDM model of cosmology be finally overturned by some new model supported by observation?
There would have to be a model out there that could take over. So far...
If the earth/sun system lasts long enough won't the earth also end up tidally locked to the sun?
Look at Venus for instance. It's literally almost there with a year that is almost the same as a day?
Venus is a special case though. It doesn’t spin the same direction as the rest of the solar system. It was probably hit by something big enough to alter its spin at some point in the last 5 billion years. I believe that most tidally locked planets orbit fairly close to their host star. Gravity pulls the rotation off much faster the closer you get. I read somewhere that earth’s days were only 21 hours long about billion years ago, so it would seem like we are rotating a little slower than we were then. I also read though, that the melting icecaps may be speeding up our rotation in more recent years. To your question though, when you give anything long enough it will always move towards entropy. So if we do nothing to alter our own spin, and no large bodies pass through the solar system to alter things, then yes, maybe the earth would eventually become tidally locked. Kind of a big if though. If we’re around on this planet in another 5 billion years when the days are getting really short and we don’t have the tech to fix it, then we deserve whatever we get. 😂🎉😂
@@Domarnett Sure, but if it happened here in our solar system, it can happen anywhere. Thus there could easily be an earth like planet tidally locked around a sun like star?

Mars is too cold for the Cybertruck. It has enough trouble during a Canadian winter, it ain't going to work on Mars.
@@bluesteel8376 I assume he meant Mars specific versions of both.
@ plenty of Tesla’s in Norway that work just fine ;-) and they are not a warm sunny country so my conclusion is that if your remark is true then you Canadians aren’t very good with tech 😂
Of course that's absurd. Consumer-level equipment designed for an Earth environment has no place exposed to the Martian elements. The Teslabots are exceedingly primitive, capable of preprogrammed actions but nothing involving comprehending or adapting to its environment. I take every word from Musk's mouth with a bag of salt.
Predictions: SpaceX will make at least 20 Starship launches, 25 is possible, but they may fall short. New Glenn might make 3. SLS will be cancelled. Other space startups (Rocketlab, Vast, Orbital Reef, Starlab) will have another year of successes. Vera Ruben Observatory will find planet 9, and maybe more than 1.
I think you ignore the usefulness of humanoid robots. They can in theory fix your robot excavators and other infrastructure.
The heavy machines do the heavy work. Then the tesla bot does the fiddly bits,
instead of creating one time bespoke and expensive solutions.
I would be shocked if mars versions are not a parallel but low priority design task.
Even if they only last a few weeks each, just keep spare bots and parts and have them fix the faulty one.
a Lot of the work where a bot is needed might be indoors too.
Limit exposure the same way humans would as well, go outside only when needed.
Just send Elon to Mars first and tell him we'll follow.
Problem solved
Military grade semiconductors are emp, temp and robust =mars? Plastics come in all kinds that can withstand different environments. Materials science should not be assumed to stand still. Thanks?
100% Elon will send Tesla Bots to Mars on the first ship to land, the information gained would be invaluable, against the cost of a few bots. I would even go as far as saying he should send them on the first ship to land on the moon. As for Nasa Bots they have to endure the journey through space and are over engineered. Elon does not think like that, send a Bot and see how it performs, learn, build a better bot.
Ever wonder why these people want robot slaves that look human? It's not the most optimal shape for most tasks.
How do we ensure that we don't contaminate another world with life from ours? Should we care?
We don't care about sooo many other things here on Earth we should strongly care about, why care about a most certainly dead rock, moon or planet in space?.
Are TeslaBots even real? Have they done anything outside of a Tesla controlled environment? Aren't they just Disney-style animatronics?
Why not send some Boston Dynamics doggos out there? They have at least show some signs of limited autonomy.
I think something like the BD spot would be a great mars and lunar rover.
