Mars Colonization News and Updates

The Space Race is dedicated to the exploration of outer space and humans' mission to explore the universe. We’ll provide news and updates from everything in space, including the SpaceX and NASA mission to colonize Mars and the Moon. We’ll focus on news and updates from SpaceX, NASA, Starlink, Blue Origin, The James Webb Space Telescope and more. If you’re interested in space exploration, Mars colonization, and everything to do with space travel and the space race... you’ve come to the right channel! We love space and hope to inspire others to learn more!

I’ve been saying this a long time ago. Of course all of this comes with many challenges but if you take in account that there are some companies looking into asteroid mining, developing those technologies on the moon is our best bet before trying to hunt down passing rocks.

[Zuringa]

Argghh! I hate the fact I was so young the last time I watched a Moon landing, but will be so old next time! It's still just as exciting though.

[vic-g]

"... in the centuries to come." I love your futuristic world view and this is the reason I would happily pay for your content! 👍

I've always said this. From all I understand, it's easier to build megastructures in space. And it's also easier to launch, from space. We should be dedicating more resources to a moon base to help launch us into the rest of the solar system, like Mars and Titan

[vincentcleaver]

The best thing ever about the craters is that we should be able to figure out which ones have useful ore bodies in them!

This is a similar thing I say anytime I have a conversation with Someone about colonization. The very first and most important thing we need is to establish a logistics system before anything else. That could be an orbital station or the moon but it needs to be something that can act as a checkpoint between planets and stars. From there we would have the ability to build space only ships that would never touch an atmosphere allowing them to be much larger haulers for people and resources between these checkpoints. With an established logistics system it would be 10x easier to expand beyond our world as we would just need to build more checkpoints to any location we wish to visit.
Btw we already have the full capability and technology to build a space station or moon base however at the moment no one wishes to pay the astronomical cost it would be to start. On the other hand, whoever is first will have a significant monopoly over the entire aerospace industry and easily be able to get their return as everyone else will be unwilling to do the same thus funnelling through the sole owner of said structure

I always wondered why they committed so much resources to the International Space Station considering how tiny it is when a Moon Base just makes so much more sense?!

[hawgryder]

At 72 years old I'm just hoping I see us land on the moon again and get started on staying there this time.

Hey TSR, love your tutorial-style videos. They can be placed on a larger Television for kids to watch and learn from. There are a few mistakes here and there (I’m a retired aerospace engineer), but the tone and flow is really good, and will hold the attention of young ones. Great job! You have my sincere thanks.

[richardcornell]

Enjoy, can't wait. Wishing happy times.

[johnstewart]

Looking forward to humanity finally returning to our Moon and inspiring new generations. We are, in fact, the last generation to be able to look up at a totally uninhabited Moon.... for now

[shnasuel]

Definitely an underated channel
I freaking love your videos

[evandipasquale]

This was my view as well, I don't think the star ship should be what we use to get to Mars. But rather we should use it's huge payload capacity to build an interstellar ship either in orbit or on the moon. By removing the need for a space craft to have to ability to escape the earth's atmosphere. Having ship built in space and remaining in space really allows you get creative and focus on what's best for the mission at the time.

I've got an entire illustrated story project, in development, regarding this (spanning about a 40-50 future timeline). I plan to share a first draft, publicly, to get some thoughts on fact or fiction (even if there's some intentional fiction, mixed with theory or guesses)... Was working on it for a year or two, then you can say got caught up in its prequel project, that's 10 years ahead & takes place on Earth. But, definitely could work off the moon, & really wonder if NASA or anyone else is fully aware of what prolonged deep space (for Mars, but exposed to it through Artemis) means. I think there's still some unanswered questions, before people personally take that journey deep dive, that between the Earth & Moon can possibly answer.

An L5 space ship factory makes a lot if sense. Even at 1/6 g, the Moon still represents a deep gravitational well. So by limiting Lunar operations to mining and resource harvesting g, coupled with mass drivers (rail guns) to launch refined materials to L5, we get the best of both locations, Lunar raw materials and micro gravity industrial site. Keep in mind, that L5 hangs above the moon, just as does the Earth, therefore, building the mass driver in the correct orientation is a once done problem.
Also, do not forget that Lunar dust is hazardous to both human lungs and to bearings in equipment - so locating industries off the Moon simplifies a variety of issues.

Dr. Geral O'Neil, Princeton (?) physicist, detailed this concept in the '70's with his book High Frontier: Colonies in space.

I know it's incredibly expensive, but I can see a some kind of a maglev slingshot (or similar) on the moon, Perhaps the best location would be around the equator, and it would go round the moon many times before accelerating to any significant speeds. However, these speeds would open the rest of the solar system to us, without needing 'silly' gravity assists from other planets

Host: It takes a couple of days to get to the moon..

1st … earth orbit transfer station for rendezvous of dedicated station to moon commute rocket (it’s the fueling station, plus loading cargo plus transferring people)
2nd… moon colony
3rd … moon orbit station to assemble huge commute ship from moon metal, earth components, moon fuel, moon oxygen, water, etc. and for people embarking to mars (or earth)
4th… park the huge ship at Deimos moon of Mars. This is the ideal colony location. Deimos dirt serves shielding as the huge ship is buried and covered. Deimos material fuels all rockets and replenishes water, air food, etc. 24 hour sunlight for energy. Super low escape velocity from both Deimos and Mars
5th… The metal asteroid. If it’s the center of a planetoid then it’s worth more than anything else in the solar system.

WOW SHIBTASTIC 💯 so many possibilities 👍

[maganoo]

OMG! You have an amazing idea here, Space Port on the moon!
