Wunderbar. I just joined The Mars Society. This was an excellent video. Super informative.

Dr. Zubrin is the brilliant engineer, scientist, but even more - amazing human being. He always challenge my mind with his ideas!!

[LaoZi]

I'm happy to hear Zubrin. I heard him first back in the mid 90s on Coast to Coast, with Art Bell. And it was a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed his arguments with another science advisor to Bell (forgot his name), but they would go back and forth on ideas about space travel and the possibility of alien travel to our solar system.

Nice video quality, was is streamed from Mars?

[adaslesniak]

Very nice talk. I like holistic view Zubrin is taking on the issue. It's not only about problems with transportation (even if it's first and foremost problem at the moment) and it's not even only about tech. Mentioning appeal of an idea and historical example of how smaller England won colonization against bigger France because people were willing to settle there is very important point.

I always love hearing from Robert Zubrin, a wisened voice of reason and challenge for what humans can do when we put our minds to it. Musk's views are highly flawed, but he's focusing on the technical aspects of lowering the costs of space travel. The human aspects are probably 10x harder, and will take decades of difficulty to solve, but every answer we learn in how to help humans live off the earth sustainably also apply to living better on earth too.

Wowza, what a great podcast. It was really enjoyable and inspiring hearing Zubrin talk about an infinite future and I share my sentiment on Elon musk with him. Looking forward to the new book and I hope he decides to sell a few autographed copies like he did with a case for nukes. Honestly after hearing Zubrin talk it got me considering quitting my job and moving to Colorado to pursue my dreams and ambitions to help us settle the solar system. I can't think of a more exciting and noble cause to work on.

Semper et ultra.

No one I know is more interested than me in the Mars Society goals. I listen to as many of your programs as I can, but I am disappointed and put off by the quality of the audio in almost every program. Perhaps Dr. Zubrin has a challenging voice to record, but I think it would be worthwhile finding a microphone that consistently does a better job for these videos.

хотел написать много, но решил пока ограничиться малым замечанием: человек может прожить без еды до 30 дней, без воды от 3 до 7 дней, без воздуха несколько минут, и то если речь про наличие давления инертного газа около атмосферного, а если в вакууме, то человек умрет через несколько секунд. И в свете всего этого Роберт Зубрин предлагает нам в первую очередь заниматься вопросом еды на Марсе, притом что стабильная и долговечная работа двух других, гораздо более важных факторов выживания человека на Марсе, таких как бесперебойное снабжение воздухом и водой (рециркуляция) и близко не решено, ибо существующие решения ненадежны и требуют постоянного снабжения аппаратуры реагентами, энергией и запчастями, которые, пока что, можно произвести только на Земле. Серьезно?
Скажу кратко: с существующей стоимостью и сроками полета снабжающей флотилии на Марс устойчивое существование колонии на Марсе невозможно. Первые колонисты умрут там от любой мелочи, поломки или нехватки какой-нибудь ерунды с вероятностью 90%, как умерли почти все первые английские поселенцы в Америке в 17 веке, и как умирали первые русские поселенцы в Сибири много раз (но про них никто ничего не расскажет, ибо это никому в Российской Империи не интересно было).
Я не хочу, чтобы умирали первые поселенцы на Марсе, это неправильно, этого не должно быть. Посему главным направлением удара по решению проблемы колонизации Марса должно быть решение транспорта, радикальное снижение стоимости полета на Марс и сроков полета на Марс, и это возможно! Недавно я писал про это Зубрину, предложив свой проект ЛАРК-Аякс, но не получил никакого ответа, и напрасно! Игнорирование моего предложения со стороны ЗУбрина как бы говорит нам, что не очень то и нужна Роберту колонизация Марса!

As a Long time fan of Mars Society and Dr. Zubrin, I must say, YOU guys NEED to upgrade your video quality and equipment . Your Channel does NOT attract the views it deserve because the aesthetics are NOT appealing at all. Please for the love of GOD hire an intern that can edit and make this entire channel and podcast more presentable. The interest in Mars is growing, Please do not give a bad impression.

[badgambler-unck]

New sub plz be gentle!!! lol
My question is - Why if we could do it back then, decades ago, why can we not land humans on the moon again? When we consider my AirFryer or iPhone has more technology than Apollo missions, why cant we re-land on the moon all of these DECADES later??

[mariosebok]

Great News can you please add multilingual subtitles?

[runem]

I'm already looking forward to tasting space tilapia :)

[rickcilo]

We will get to Mars and settle there no matter what. Thats a promise Zubrin.

[UfoDan]

I donate to the Mar Society and love Robert Zubrin. ROBERT ZUBRIN IS HOWARD COSSEL. If R.Z. was a sports announcer he'd be Howard !

[breadandbutter]

Ty. Very interesting

Were NASA employees required to get the warp speed poke? How about in other areas?

[kjetilhvalstrand]

Talked about Norway, well we have summer time, and winter time, agriculture is seasonal. Nothing is produced when its winter outside. If was not for global economy, we eating potatoes and goats / cow beef, now need grow a lot grass to feed a cow, it needs a lot of space. Most of interesting food and spices is imported. One thing we have lot of is water. If you grow anything in Mars ground, I expect it be so dry it will just disappear in the ground, it needs to be in an air sealed bubble. You need high pressure environment like it’s on earth. and I expect we need artificial lighting, that needs energy.
