Guys...Guys! This is simple, we don't have a technology that can make our life to Creative Mode yet. But we can use command blocks by commands! Just need to make a LAN and set it to have commands.
Same! And hey, you know what a nice addition to that series would be? Genetically engineered astronauts...oh wow looks like there's a video just like that on my channel (I am so damn sorry about the shameless self-promotion, but you genuinely might be interested in the video after those two!) 😅
This is why we "go to the moon". The innovations created to survive in space helps us develop improvements to live on earth. Imagine using this tech to recycle garbage. Then what was printed, when no longer useful, can be re-recycled to print out something else.
sorry to burst your bubble but the trash problem is already resolved. in ct. they burn trash cleanly, so well that they are starting to "mine" old landfills for incinerator fuel. no 200 billion dollar trip to the moon necessary. all nasa employees, imo, need to be tested for crack use. in one hundred years we have done way to much damage to the earth and we still are 100 years away from getting people to live on the moon. by then this planet will be toast. sorry. you take care of the gift you are given before destroying it for the sake of saying we are an advanced race. we are an advanced raxe when we don't let humans die of dehydration and starvation. morals! a word nasa and all its fan base could stand to learn.
@@michael-dm2bv Sorry to burst your bubble but your argument has several gaping holes in it. For one thing, you probably didn't know that the majority of satellites that NASA operates are for Earth observation, ever wonder where all this data about melting icecaps and holes in the ozone layer came from? That's right, NASA. Ever wonder how developing countries monitor and prepare for droughts and famines? That's right, with public data provided by NASA, (Read into the SMAP and Suomi NPP satellites, they're doing amazing stuff up there). Without a space programme we wouldn't know the extent f the damage being done to Earth and would likely not realise till it was too late. Secondly, you're assuming that Lunar exploration wouldn't be beneficial for Earth. When in actual fact the Moon could be key in combatting climate change at it's root causes, specifically industry and energy. For example there is likely a large amount of Helium-3 (an isotope of Helium not found on Earth) just sitting on the moons surface. What's the big deal about that? Well, Helium-3 would make an amazing fuel for fusion reactors, which (with some development of course) could provide clean energy for the world's growing energy needs. In a similar case, us humans are going to run out of resources on Earth at some point (like rare-earth metals and such), and we will *have to* go elsewhere to find them. The moon would be great for this, in fact, moving all our industry to the moon would have all sorts of benefits! If we can not only mine resources, but manufacture products in space (0G manufacturing opens the door to new materials that cannot be made on Earth) then not only to we get to remove the cause of pollution form the Earth, but we also get new technologies that can keep Earth the way it is! But isn't this all just hand-wavy promises for a far-off century? Well, no actually. It is much closer than most people think. In particular China has expressed a huge interest in building Lunar bases and have already landed several rovers on the surface to prepare for such missions. There is also a massive commercial interest in the Moon from companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX, (both of which have received government contracts, so we know that they're serious) in going to the moon sustainably with cheaper reusable rockets. If you are going to try and make a point then it helps to know all the facts, I hope this helped.
@therealnightwriter No scientist knows how to manipulate spacetime, but sure Kenedy had it all figured out. Trump has also said a lot of stuff. A lot of which isn't true. Even if the president says something, it doesn't mean it's always true. Also about that speach... source please
If they can speed up the printing to 100lbs per hr then not only vvill it make building bases on the moon feasable but it'll make manufacturing back here on Earth a lot cheaper. Hope this developes like they're projecting .
For any given printing rate, building on Luna will always be easier than on Earth because of reduced gravity and no wind. Also the construction material used on earth is already manufactured in-situ (and thus very economical) and is much stronger than the regolith-polymer concrete, so it's unlikely that construction costs will be reduced on Earth.
This is really tremendous work, and I really appreciate all of the work N.A.S.A. ,and Space X are doing. Hopefully we can learn more about the universe especially the Andromeda galaxy.
The first thing I would build? More printers! The new colonies will have a new kind of factory, ones that produce anything, but at a much slower pace than production factories designed to make a single thing. We will need a factory that makes most of what is needed. So, after the 100 beds, tables, chairs, and households are printed, it will become a bespoke factory. Colonists would send a file of whatever 3D item was needed, and wait for the notification to come down and get it. Having enough machines to meet colonist demand would be critical.
WTF?!? Scientists figured out decades ago that above ground complexes on the moon were not practical! The first piece of equipment you would send would be a tunnel boring machine! This regolith printing machine would be handy for fabricating doors etc. Excavation is stronger, faster, cheaper, safer, and can form larger structures with MUCH less effort!
you can't just dig a tunnel through regolith and call it a day. you need materials to support the tunnel with. doors would require much greater precision and would have to be shipped up from Earth. personally, I wonder if a dumber, brute force method of utilizing this material might be more effective than 3D printing.
@@rogercoulombe3613 the whole moon isn't composed entirely of just regolith! You tunnel into the rock and permafrost, then seal the walls with a spray membrane.also, the moon has far less gravity, so less support is needed. Doors don't need great precision if they are constructed with the right method. If they are built like the gates on a mitre lock, air pressure will maintain a seal.
relying on drilling into solid rock would make the colony design far to dependent on local geology. we need construction methods that allow us to build structures were we want them rather than only in locations that we can drill into.
@@rogercoulombe3613 even here on earth we are dependent on suitable locations. You can't easily build on marshland or sand for example. Besides that, the moon is not a big ball of dust! Rock is FAR more common than you may think! If you notice in the video, they even mention the need to prospect for suitable regolith!
@@rogercoulombe3613 good to have an intelligent discussion with you! (Most RU-vid debates end up degenerating into petty name calling *sigh*) I'm an old coot who has been interested in this stuff for over 30 years😉. It was generally agreed decades ago that above ground dome structures would be death traps! Slow and difficult to construct, way too many failure points and joins to maintain seals on, exposed to hazards such as meteor strikes, require huge amounts of materials to construct. Teams of NASA scientists concluded that the simplest, strongest, safest and easiest way was to go underground. Under ground it's surprising solid, and large structures can be dug out very quickly with a minimum of materials and energy, and due to the low gravity, amazingly strong. Simply spraying the walls with a sealant to ensure no leak points (a small container covers a very large area!!) Building this structure was the easy part...powering it, growing food, and supplying water was the main problems.
It is nice that they let kids come in and do interviews at NASA... it is a great way to reach other kids ...and help them learn about "mushing stuff" together...and making science!
Minor correction, and don't feel bad, because EVERYONE makes this mistake. We were simply taught wrong: The podium is a platform you stand ON. What you're calling a podium here; the thing you stand BEHIND is actually a lectern. At least you didn't say "the dark side of the moon." All good wishes!
at 5:30, that's not a podium; it's a lecturn. The podium would be the elevated platform, or stage-like structure. A Dias is similar to a podum, but larger, mostly for multiple people, like for an award ceremony. Hope this helps.
It's weird hearing the Vox “worrisome politics” music for a technology showcase video on Verge Science. Voxmedia, you people might want to think about avoiding BGM you've already made associated with another series :) Apart from that, this is really cool!
It's starting to feel like "someday we'll live on Mars or moon" like the paradise promise from the movie The Island. Simply a distant encouraging positive vision of the future while everything disintegrates
I haven't really been a NASA fan as much as space x. but these are definitely the things I'm proud to see NASA develop. and it seems NASA excels at developing space and earth tech more than actually going places. It's good to see Bridenstine somewhat acknowledging that and taking advantage of it.
Everybody's forgetting the big problem. Lunar "soil" is actually pieces of tiny sharp glass created by constant meteor impacts... and they'll be spilling them into the base and into the ventilation every time they step through the airlock.
kremit the frog it wouldnt be so hard lets suppose the moon landing is fake "moon dust" would just be sand the only way to prove that it is moon dust would be to show it under the microscope it should have diffrent shapes of particles than our sand
i' m not someone who believes the theory that the moonlanding is faked or anything. I believe the moon landing is 100% correct but if they would've faked moon landing the moon dust might've just been something like some sort of sand or something idk.
As a space life enthusiast the truth is that this soil is actually a simulant made by humans to make a copy of what the lunar surface actually looks like on earth , and as a matter of fact that much sand from couldn’t be transported to earth that easily as just a rover costs upto a million usd this would have lead to bankruptcy of the company instead rovers are sent they collect sand they have built in scientific instruments leading to some info on what particles or elements the sand is made up of and then scientist here on earth clone it and form a simulant With basically the same properties to do further research...
We have been saying that we will live on Moon since 1900s. When will that be a possibility? Also only people with good health conditions can go to space
Things like moon bases don't just pop out of the ground if you wait long enough. We need lots of clever people with lots of funding to make this a reality. NASA is lacking in the second.
@Amo Rise I know she said at 00:05 that "Some day humans will travel to the Moon and Mars." but that was most likely badly worded and not meant to be understood as "Humans have not yet been on the Moon."
As a civil engineer, I'm really interested in the "lunar concrete". Here on earth, concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregate (gravel and sand) and water. What would lunar concrete consist of? Manufacturing cement on the moon doesn't seem viable to me. Perhaps we could use just lime? But does the moon even have lime? And what about water? It's a very precious resource on the moon. Should we really be using it as construction material when it might be far more essential for the people living there? I guess the regolith there could be a substitute for sand but what about gravel? I doubt the moon has giant reserves of the material. So it'd have to be manufactured there as well.
if you have a machine that can scoop out a rectangular area and melt the dirt it collects into a glassy material that can be laid right back into that area, then you have an insulating building foundation.
A small town with artificial gravity, a special greenhouse with a hydroponic greenhouse attached, a spaceport, and an apartment building that's 10 stories high.
@@temiajuwon8893 Right. Lunar soil has the consistency of ground glass, since there's no water to wear it down and smooth it. Also remember that the solar wind ionizes the soil -- astronauts remarked that it smells like gunpowder.
Hey, NASA, both Mars and Moon have craters and rocks. Digging, especially preasure digging is far more economical than building 3d printers to make pooping structures. My vision: Send rower diggers with cable robes to gather stones, clear out sites, pick what rock to pick for armouring walls. Those same diggers could be used as a high preasure compressor to to dig, cut and organize walls. After tunnels are bored you can use them as perfect air ports and start to send shuttles back and forth to establish temp colonies to do research of things around.
You get ice, melt it, use electricity to split it into separate hydrogen & oxygen using electrolysis, and store the two gasses in separate tanks. You now have rocket fuel :)
Normal (in another word, gaseous) hydrogen and oxygen can be used as fuel, but for orbital rockets you need to have them as liquid, which means they are cryogenic.
Why don't we start taking more moon dust and use this material as a way to reduce waste here on earth? It might be a double benefit of reducing trash and having more material for construction projects
Because then we'd have to mine the moon and bring metric megatons of that stuff safely down to earth every year? That's neither economical nor ecological.
very true, atlas not yet. With Elon musk on the brink of figuring out reusable rockets and determining the cost of mining / transportation vs the cost of trying fixing the earth after we reach the point of no return on global warming and waste.I agree with you but with the right technological advancements that seem fairly possible it could happen
It's already up and running. I am new to this but last week I bought a telescope and needed to look for some interesting sites to look at on the moon for beginners. Cut a long story short I stumbled upon a glitch on a lunar map site which enabled much greater magnification and greater focus. After stumbling around I saw something that caught my eye. 4 hours later I had found the moon base, the mine, space port, construction sites, vehicles, equipment, habitats, equipment stored and stuff I have no clue about. These are not ruins and are in use.
correction on one term at 5:30. A podium (or dais) is a flat, raised platform. What you're calling a podium (The vertical piece you stand behind) is really a lectern.
Polymers are the same problem as concrete: shipping. The regolith is mostly iron - put a magnifying glass on the robot and melt the regolith in place with sunlight. 3D print on the spot.
Read a 1994 book titled Sidewalks on the Moon by architect Nader Khalili. He was tasked by NASA to come up with ways to make structures from basically local (lunar) materials only hence the meaning of the title.
I can not imagine the feeling this guy and his colleague have to have. I hope they feel amazing! This is awesome and has such an incredible value for the mission of being and interplanetary species! 👏
i liked the idea of using parabolic mirrors to melt moon dust into bricks. But i guess 3d printing using polymers and moon dust, is more practical, for now.
Titanium only ever appears as a sulfide in it natural state IE salt. And must be refined to create a pure form of it. There is no chance it got to the moon naturally.
My uncle cataloged and cut many of the moon rocks at the Johnson Manned Space Craft Center near Houston. He showed me the moon dust. It is composed of tiny spherical particles even smaller than beach sand. Beach sand is notoriously poor for making concrete. Concrete used "sharp" sand which is angular and locks together and makes concrete strong.
Dust needs to be 10 feet deep to accurately simulate moon conditions. Then figure out how to anchor a small moon base that needs to be pressurized and strong enough to withstand a body hit by a large man.
