This was the most informative and intelligent video about Mars as human habitat that I have seen on YouTube.

Yours is actually the 1st discussion I've seen to address lava tubes; good job! Thanks for opening up the topic for discussion!

[yukelalexandre]

Hehehe, been dreaming up that Mars tunnel colony for years, got tons of design ideas for it, glad to see someone bring it up! 😇

[BrentBestwick]

I totally agree; have been assuming this was the case for years; thanks for putting some more substance behind the theory!

When Musk bought the company 5 years ago, I immediately knew it was meant for boring tunnels on Mars. Same goes for the cars: electric vehicles for on Mars, SpaceX: rockets and space ships for Mars. Everything he does has the long view in mind.

6:42 - 7:01 This is something I've been waiting to hear for a while !

up till now, I've only heard 1 youtuber talk about this centrifuge idea. I think it's the biggest 'hard to solve problem' for permanent habitation. As mentioned in this great video, there are lots of big challenges but more answers for them.
(i was expecting the image to be different, as i imagined it as like a train on a circular tube track, and the train banks towards the center as the speed increases.)

I thought of this when I heard about the Boring Company in the beginning. I had thought of using a kind of loader that would scoop out a flat foundation, melt the scooped up dirt, and lay it back into the scooped area as a glassy, insulative foundation.

The rock boring machines doesn’t need to be shiped directly from earth to mars. Instead you could ship them in pieces to the moon, assambled them there and then ship to Mars. NASA also plans for future missions to assamble a huge station on the moon. And consider that: Only the first boring and mining machines needs to be assambled on earth. All future ones should been directly made on mars, with insitu-materials once an underground factory is assambled. What really matters are the blueprints and the knowledge how certain materials react in different enviroments, what you partially explains in this video.

For those who take the time to read all of the below: So much innovative thinking generated by this video ... It's great when good minds think positively ... This is how 'something' is born ... Great job by so many who contributed here, and for the most part, with 'respect' to each of the contributors. A good example for all to follow.

[cdyanand]

Wow! I think you seriously cracked master plan 3! Amazing work!

[kstaxman]

Great plan but the details are going to be fun to work out. We know little about the nature of the soil and we don't know what we will use in place of concrete to support tunnel walls. So I'm sure that we will use tunnels on Mars but the exact nature and extent is yet to be developed.

For a large sustainable present on Mars you will need the same infrastructure that you have on Earth. Which means mining, smelting metals, and other base materials. Then you just need to send the plans to make the machines to build your new world. I would think for all that you will need lots of energy and I would guess that it would be small nuclear plants and not solar panels... Small N plants that could be built into a dedicated SS's and after landing on Mars they could ready to go after connecting to the new grid. It will take a monumental effort that's for sure.

[davidwyatt]

truth is anything can be constructed on Mars, you just need to transport some smaller machines to build larger ones

[AJ-evhj]

Yeah I can see tunnels being used to connect other underground colonies. But I can also see Tesla investing into 3D printing Boring machines so they don't have to carry an entire machine to Mars.

[Tammylee.]

Wow it must feel amazing to be this genius, he probably never has a thoughtless moment.

[usamat]

I've come to the conclusion that everything Musk does is to reach his goal of a self-sustaining civilization on Mars. Yes, the boring machines on Mars could be useful, for transportation, habitats and mining. You point out that a boring machine has a mass of 1200 tons, meaning that a Boring machine on Mars would be assembled on Mars from earth supplied parts. Perhaps this will do for the first couple of Boring Machines, but not efficient.

There is another way, a necessary way, to get to self-sustenance on Mars. Don't ship equipment, built it. I'm sure you've heard variations of the Tesla Giga factories are the Tesla product. With higher and higher vertical integration, the Tesla factories at their limit get resources shoveled in one end and products come out the other end. How could you do this on Mars? Tesla Bot will be the solution, being able to work on the surface of Mars without a pressure suit. At a minimum, Musk will start flights in 2024/6 to Mars, and the first flights will have Tesla bots and equipment to start the Sabatier process. Without the Sabatier process established on Mars, there is no return flight with a Starship. Only later can human flight to Mars start in 2028/9.

[KingLarbear]

I've watched all your videos in the longest while and I like hearing your take on these

[Oblivionsurveyor]

I always knew they would start tunneling on mars. Mostly automated with maybe half a dozen or so on site to maintain the equipment.

[eugeneminton]

lava flows on earth are also where you would find gems, crystals, metals etc etc etc.... elon has been working on his boring machines too... he is aiming to speed them up... since they are so slow right now. if that helps... i'm not sure if the target is 7 miles an hour or if that has been achieved yet. our initial tunnels will probably be trenches or surface crafted structures... personally the idea of trenches is best in my opinion, because the more you dig the more you can cover the ones you already have, inflatable habitats in trenches that have concrete caps covered in soil dug from additional trenches... that could eventually be used for the transit system would make sense to me. so the construction/home building machines would be in charge of making the support structures to handle the pressure of the soil on top of the trenches turning them into tunnels... i mean its' easier to make bricks than it is to make a home right? air locks installed to pressurize them... the only real issue i see thou is that with less gravity it would mean allot more soil would be needed to cover them to make sure the pressure didn't pop the tunnels.... thou i mean we have boring machines that put concrete tunnel segments into place to protect and make the tunnels.... so maybe those bricks will be of the proper shape to be used as that... and use multiple layers?? bonded together to help with that? eh its a bit much to think about for a non engineer but thought i'd throw that in :D peace

The one fly in the ointment is water. Even a relatively small nuclear reactor requires a lot of water. While there is some evidence of large pockets of frozen water on Mars, it is far from certain. It would also be nice if the breakthroughs in sold state batteries, graphene and super conductors come through. I wish I was 40 years younger so I could live to see it.

A million people off planet is a good insurance policy in case we destroy the earth.
