Elon Musk Reveals New Plan For Interstellar Travel!

Last Video: What Exactly Happened On SpaceX's FOURTH Starship Test Flight!

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!

Starship stands to interstellar travel, like hot air balloons to a modern fighter jet.

Trips to Mars are currently NOT when Earth and Mars are "closest" as stated in the video. It is when Earth and Mars will be lined up for a minimum energy Hohmann transfer orbit, which is an elliptical solar orbit that has a maximum distance from the sun at the orbit of Mars.

Actually, I listened to some biologists. They say to ensure generic diversity we need at least 10, 000 people in a colony.

If I ever get out to space, I don't really care if my journey ends there. I'll have witnessed the greatest sights ever known to man

3:40 I always found it dumb how people say that things like quadrillions of dollars are in an asteroid as if somehow prices of rare metals wouldn't crash as soon as the technology to mine and return metals from asteroids was proven.

Supply and demand dictate that if we increase the supply of gold and platinum and iron, et al, (barring some DeBeers diamond cartel situation) then the prices of metal will become so cheap that the money in these asteroids will immediately be lowered by a titanic margin.

In the same vein we better start aggressively protecting our forests more because wood will be more valuable than gold as soon as we starting mining asteroids.

No one is going to colonize space without us producing a space craft that is very very large. And at least a nuclear propulsion system. All else is pie in the sky. Probably also able to create artificial gravity inside the space craft.

I was one of those people commenting about your colleague sounding like AI earlier. I recently watched one of the Tesla videos he made. I’ve adjusted and like his narration a bit more now. One key reason I like your voice more is the way you pause, especially through the first 48s of this video. Your copy is well done, the pause lets it sink it more and demonstrates a calmness duration narration.

Its all a pipe dream, (for now). Looking at least 50 years away. We just have to focus on the Moon, and Mars.
Thanks for the episode.

a rooster, duck, and a sheep were the first hot air balloon passengers in 1783 in France. The de Havilland Comet was the first commercial jet airliner to carry passengers, debuting in 1952. Just a matter of time.

Did some reading on the Alcubierre "Warp" Drive. While physicists agree it's achievable within the realm of known physics and possibility, it only takes the energy of a Neutron Star to power it. Anyone got one of those handy ? 🤔

[dikhou]

I would miss the wind, our sky, the sea and all the wonderful life on Earth.

[MukiBlalock]

Traveling these extremely vast distances with no gravity ( even a rotating attempt) wouldn't be feasible for multi generational humans.

[darkjack]

Something that I have not really realized until now. All of our spaceflight rocket building companies are the ancient humble beginnings of our interstellar vehicle creations lists of the future. Given how we treat vehicle modes; turning old battleships modernized over time, riding horses being a unique thing in our modernized time but their stables and tack modernized, and planes being modernized over time to jets; generally all of our old modes of transport aren't lost but modernized over time with better materials and techniques. Thinking into the future far is fun. I hope we make it.

Is it a coincidence that since Elon endorsed Trump, the FAA has been more difficult? Imagine if government bureaucracy severely inhibited the genius of Einstein, Edison and Tesla. America needs to be first in innovation.

[FlyxPat]

The biggest enabler of all this are the Starlink revenues.

[ar-visions]

Earth is the best ship we’ll ever have. We are going places here too.

[peterroyle]

Someone has been watching th Expance. Bag of pipe dreams

[patarq-ivwk]

Realistically it'll be robots and space probes that go first, if only to test out the technology. They'd also be helpful in giving us detailed info on what we'd find before we go. It doesn't seem likely to me that there are any Earth-like planets in any star systems nearby (I'd love it if I were wrong, though). Anything less would require a heckuva lot of supporting infrastructure, like we'll need for Mars. My guess is that we're more likely to be expanding humanity in our own solar system for a long time before we venture far outside of it

Genetic diversity in breeding stock DOES NOT mean racial diversity. In fact, if you have a self-contained population with no support from earth, you would want to avoid too much genetic distance as well as too little. There is a goldilocks zone, so to speak. For instance, you would want to maximize blood and organ donation capability, and eliminate oddball genetic diseases. This means choosing your crew from ONE racial group. Basic IQ parsing dictates that this should be northeast Asians or Europeans.

The important thing to note about a warp drive is that you're creating a bubble around the ship essentially and it is the bubble that's moving through space FTL,  not the ship which means all the contents or passengers and cargo in this case within that bubble are fine and stable once the ship reaches it's destination the warp bubble dissipates almost instantly bringing you to an abrupt stop. Keep in mind though the ship was never moving  just the space around the ship was So even though you're coming to a complete and abrupt stop you will not fly forward as you would on here on Earth if you are to do something that in atmosphere.
