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!

Hello from Spain, I don't speak English, but I see your content with subtitles, I love your content ❤🚀🇪🇸

[alexgonzalez]

I get dizziness, joint pain and nausea all the time. I’m ready to go to mars.

[MGC]

Lice as we know it will never be the same

[rayb]

This is what the Expanse is all about great novel and tv series highly recommend

[puc_aurawolf]

I think the biggest concern will be.... Earth itself, once our fellow Martian Brothers & Sisters have a proper Settlement set up... how many generations before Native Martians decide they want nothing to do with or don't need Earth.

@1:50 You can tether two *Starships* nose to nose set them rotating about a point halfway up the tether.
They can get from *Earth* to/from *Mars* under a rotational gravity which could go from *Earth* decresasing to *Mars* and/or from *Mars* increasing to *Earth.*

[SpaceCapybara]

I wonder when vacations to mars will be available for less than 950 million dollars.

[markschroter]

Easy fix, increase the spin the transport ships with the destination gravity, use two or more on tethers. They will be ready to go by the time they get back from Mars.

No person would ever contemplate going to Mars using something as expensive as SLS ($4+B/launch). You can’t send enough humans or supplies to make a base viable if you’re spending $30+Billion to transport 6 humans & 60 tons of supplies with a return vehicle. It becomes much more practicable if you can send 48 humans, 500 tons of supplies & return vehicles for $240 million & produce fuel in Mars!

For rehabing from the gravity, we should really construct ships that have a rotating ring segment on it for earth mars transit.
When traveling to mars, evey day you decrease the RPM to get people ready for mars gravity. When coming back from mars you would slowly increase the RPM of the ring segment a little bit more every day until they have adapted to earth gravity before arrival

You do a great job on your videos. Thank you!

Regarding AI, bear in mind that computer hardware we send into space is not cutting edge. It's decades old processors that have to be hardened to withstand the harsh radiation environment. It is impressive what has been accomplished despite this, such as flying an autonomous helicopter drone on Mars. But my point is that AI of the type that is flourishing here on Earth may be a long time coming on Mars.

[JesusChristDenton_]

If we want to become a spacefaring species, we need to start thinking about how we can augment our bodies and minds to survive in harsh environments.

[PaulADAigle]

All of this has been talked about before, many times.
The plan should be done in multiple steps:
1. Send good AI bots to Mars.
a. Set up a base for human living by 3D printing from the local dirt into a large hard shell, and then inflate a well-protected room inside of it. The local dirt material would help protect the occupants from radiation and weather in addition to the protection from the inflatable itself.
b. Include an AI base for data and communications, while having AI bots searching the area for underground lava tubes and such. Perfect future habitation locations, as well as mapping.
c. Start AI building the base with ample supplies like food, oxygen, fuel, etc. This would require additional buildings of course.
2. Send people to colonize. They would need to expect the colonization to be permanent. They would also determine what is missing from the plans and request shipments for additional materials.
3. Set up future components like Mars orbiting satellites (better communications), better transport ships with artificial gravity (preferably something that doesn't need to land like the ISS with landing pods-small ships attached), and orbiting tanker structures for easier fueling.

[stubbysidwell]

So now my nightmares will be filled with Advanced AI Robot Martians coming back to Earth for a firmware (fleshware?) update. Sounds like a cool sci-fi movie or saturday morning cartoon.

[karlspear]

I'm 68 but I would love to go. When do we leave?

[davidroddini]

The question is not whether we would be able to get people to go to Mars as colonists. The question is why would they go and what sort of people would they be? If history gives us anything to go by, colonists on Mars would consist of:

1. A few wealthy individuals who control almost everything in the colony
2. An overwhelming majority who have fled to Mars in an attempt to get a better lot in life than is available to them on earth.
3. A handful of the “dregs of society”. People who are sent to Mars because it’s better to send them to Mars than to support them here on earth. For example, Australia started as a prison colony.

What the Mars colony turns into will be determined by how many of each group there are and how well the different groups can function together.

"Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up" - Blondie

To actually do what they claim they want to do people in numbers will probably live underground for a long time, the pictures look the great, the reality to get that not so much. I still truly think mastering living on the moon is the way to go as far as becoming a multi-planetary species. However, I very much appreciate the existence of Mr. Musk, words don't begin to cover it, we are extremely lucky to have him.

Eventually with a small area Starlink constellation around Mars it will be capable of laser communication at light speed, so the delay of radio waves problem would be lessened.

Top of the hat to the script writer on this one! Great video!
