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!

This sounds like the type of structure that could make a trip to Mars less claustrophobic and less psychologicaly harsh.

Damn I was praying that Bigelow really work out! I have been rooting for him from the very beginning!

All space stations are in effect inflatable. A few millimetres of aluminium skin pressurised in the vacuum of space is to all intents and purposes a metal balloon. Using layers of fabric such as Vectron, which is much stronger than aluminium, is actually logical and a better solution in many ways, not least that you can pack a large module into a relatively small delivery vehicle. As to it bursting like a balloon if punctured, that is a fallacy, it just wouldn’t happen with a woven structure.

If nothing else, Inflatable stations would be a way to QUICKLY get infrastructure up there.

My favourite channel on YouTube.. No.. I am not biased 😅

Once again you're doing a deeper dive on a topic we have only seen superficial coverage of elsewhere.
Thank You !
I've always thought this is a brilliant idea. I never knew about Genesis I and II.

[Lumynex]

Could you please add meters as a measurement in the future? Really like the videos but can’t understand the measurements

[patrickkelly]

Wait wait what? We have actually put inflatable modules in space and they are still there?? That is so cool

at the time of Bigelow's demise I remember Bigelow not being selected for a contract by Nessa which seemed unfair since the module is good enough to be used and to still be there I suspect the notorious corruption of big aerospace may have been involved Bigelow himself and his company and employees certainly have my sympathies

If deployment was a 2 stage process, where it was inflated and then materials like a resin can coat the inside and cure(or between 2 layers/walls, like airtight insulation behind drywall). Smaller payload benfit, but stronger/more rigid final station.

This was absolutely fascinating! Thank you for such an incredible video.

[paulperano]

Are inflatables really any more dangerous that a metal shelled habitation ? It's not as it the metal skin is 15mm armoured plate steel. Sure inflatables will go 'BANG' and completely rupture, but that takes a lot of internal pressure. I'm sure they can include bleeder valves to avoid over-pressurisation - not rocket science. Yes they can be punctured by micro-meteors, so can metal shells.

[danielle]

i still find it soooo incredibly inscrutible that your channel doesn't already have 1M+ subscribers…!! great work, as always!

[viperswhip]

Biegelow was so close to getting where they wanted and failed, it's like tripping in the last 10 meters of a race.

[PaulADAigle]

Seems so odd to have such a great idea not used much at all.

[karstenschuhmann]

The biggest problem of these units is probably that like any other tent they are empty.

Rigit habitats are not necessarily heavier, but they can be fully equipped before the start. It only needs a larger payload fairing.

[TheChoyamoya]

Great topics on this channel. Thank you!

The original Von Braun idea was to use an inflatable torus as a structure on which to connect metal plates to complete the station. If he intended to use the inflatable as the station itself, it must have come much later. Watch the Disney movie.

[IAmTheAce]

I'm imagining that 'nested' layers of inflatable bladders or envelopes would work well for a Whipple Shield, and I'd like to think a great big translucent inflatable sphere would be great for Ender's Game style flying and gaming
