I have to say it's a little incredulous to expect a Time-line when Starship is still being developed. The Good thing about Spacex is they are doing everything right in the open and you can literally watch them everyday as they design technology never attempted before, even building their own rocket engines. To me there is no need for a schedule, just watch it happen right in front of all our eyes.

I suppose the Chinese figured out how to produce unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O2) and more on Mars, for the return vehicles we have not yet heard about. Right? Nah, the Chinese will colonise Mars when others have demonstrated how, doing most of the R&D and legwork.

@@hermanrobak1285 In the end China can do whatever they want to do if they are capable of it. What is off-puting is the amount of secrecy and Bragging. Almost all the technology China is using came out of Russia and US. Also off-puting is the lack of Non-CG video. Both the Soviets missions and the US (Apollo) missions were broadcast to the world to see. Even Elon's Starship is on video on the internet continuosly. The question for China is this:- Is China's space program going to be more open so that the world can benefit from their contributions, or are they just interested in looking good, so they want to hide what they are doing, only to make so splashy video if they succeed. Bear in mind that all the technology they are using came out of Germany, Russia, and United States.

Congratulations, China has successfully bullshitted you. China is capable of some prestige projects in space, but it is still decades behind. In most cases, what China does is more bling than substance, and in space exploration it's no different. And they are paying through the nose to even achieve that much.

Yeah this is what I always think of with this whole idea. Like how about we try to make it there first & to me at least, it would make sense to test everything you’ll do on Mars on the Moon first. Ofc the conditions will vary but the moon is a closer place to have a test run & closer in case something goes wrong.

I believe it will be humanoid robots doing the space traveling ain't no way at 3.721m/s^2 a human will function the same for extended periods of time

Due to the fragility of the human body, it is impossible to inhabit interstellar space with the development of science and technology in a few centuries. Eventually, it may be necessary to mechanize and electronize the body. Eventually, humans will evolve into robots

If such 'tech comes along, maybe, but that's not for human habitation. The NASA Ames/Stanford space settlement studies in the '70s established that there are no new inventions needed to mine asteroids and moons and to build for virtually Earth-like conditions anywhere in space where there are or to which we bring materials. Costs and timescales are not beyond many other large infrastructure or industrial developments down here. It's been only political indifference and contrary action, that has kept us from starting.

Could we have a literal Mars race like in “For All Mankind”? China, Russia, NASA/SpaceX, ESA all happen to launch on the same Mars transfer window? And a “competition” for who lands first? Maybe some friendly interaction over radio to ease political tension (yes, if the spacecraft are sufficiently close, which they will be if they were to use the same Mars transfer window, radio communication would work between them).

I hope all china go there and this earth will happiness again

The British Empire colonized almost every land on the earth, and there are still British people on the three British Islands. Our goal in China is to colonize almost every planet in the solar system, not just Mars. We will not compete with others about who is the first to reach a certain planet. Whether it is the first to reach a certain planet is meaningless, and it does not necessarily mean that you will eventually own this planet. Our colonization plan spans hundreds of years.

Exactly! If they spent the same money as they do for rockets etc. on robotics for space developement instead, progress would be unprecedentedly quicker and cheaper (and better)...I reckon. They do seem to be getting the idea though. There are some videos on a similar idea and the TESLA bot project may lean towards this. But why spend so much money doing it the hard way when they could do it better with robots? 😕 Boston Dynamics is maybe demonstrating this possibility right now! Humans are unprecedentedly less cost effective in space travel and building space projects (cos of required life sustainability and stuff). Space X may do the rocket bit with humans but I reckon send the TESLA bot (or both humans and the bots) and gradually develop a robotic construction system. But I reckon do it on earth first and for a decade at least, before actually doing it in space. The robots should be good enough to do it by themselves by then. They should NOT be in any hurry or slackness in space stuff. Just do it in our own time, but do it. Spend the money on robots first then on the rockets when the robots are ready. It would be unprecedentedly hard but not as hard as rushing out there with humans cos of POLITICS (in a hurry). That is not science that is POLITICS.

Elon time is his best case predictions. But new tech is not predictable and nor is supply chains during and post covid. The thing Elon Musk primary have done is to create reliable, reusable rockets. The rest is not that special IMO. SpaceX is ten years ahead the rest, and Starlink will be the main supplier of LEO global internet. Saving the climate is extremely important, but electric cars are relatively easy to make, even for the old ICE brands.

The reason we have faith in elon is because he is a man of the people and China kill its own people who speak out so I think they should never gotten into space

@@jebes909090 Hey I know Elon Musk is a little bit of fuck wit I trust him more than China

LMAO China didn’t achieve anything. They just now accomplished what the US and Russia did 60 years ago. Yuri Gagarin first orbited the earth in April 1961. Yang lei Wei the first Chinese astronaut in space was sent up in October, 2008. On top of that China simply used the technology and methods that the Americans, soviets, and Germans developed, tested, and proved. It’d be like having 2 kids taking an exam, racing to see who finishes first, then a third kid shows up a week later after the teacher has already graded and handed back the exams. Then that third kid declared he was going to race too, and said he was a better test-taker after he copied the other two’s answers. China is wholly incapable of developing anything themselves. They just steal all of their designs from people who actually have the talent and skill to develop them. Just look at the Chinese military. All of their jets, tanks, planes, and boats are rip offs of American, European, and Russian designs. China will never reach mars first, because all they can do is copy what everyone else is doing.

Elon Musk, turning the impossible into late. When you can do better, then you can criticize.

@@paintedpony2935 LOL too funny that not how criticism works. By that logic only leader of countries can criticize Hitler as only a few people know what running a country is like. Elon has spent as much or more money in 20 years than the space agency and had fewer results considering 70 years ago none of this technology existed. I am very glad that after 50 years there is some excitement again as government's should have never stopped regardless of public option.

HAHAHA right to the point

Elon sets incredible timelines to make people move their ass, to get people excited, to make things happen, instead of the way governments do it and don't meet timelines due to new politicians special interest even that timeline comes to be. The only reason we reached the moon landing timeline was to beat Russia due to cold war purposes.

China is the only nation capible of having such a big economy. USA has like wat 600minllion? China has 5billion.... Their economy could dwarf the rest of the worlds nations combined if they figured it out. It's kinda scary when you think about it. Chinese is the most spoken language.

That probably won’t go well, as China doesn’t have any experience building/designing anything from scratch. Everything is simply stolen from another country and slightly altered. They literally steal everything and claim credit for it. Look at their military vehicles. The only thing I’ve seen Chinese science accomplish is research, but even that is a bit of a stretch because most of that research is done outside of China by Chinese nationals. Honestly, I think that phenomenon might just be explained by their massive population.

this is incorrect, the engine of the LM9 is already completed. there is an assumption that China will build a raptor like engine and a starship like rocket, however that is a completely different project and is not required for the LM9 mission. they may not even need LM9 to complete the mission since there is a space tug version of the mission which is already funded. so there are 3 project happening in China at the same time.

@@lagrangewei please elaborate - which LM9 engine is complete? The YF-100, YF-130, YF-135, or the unspecified methane engine on the latest LM9 first stage, which I can’t even find a designation for? What are the names of these three missions? Are they all using “variants” of LM9?

We just need to find a way to make money and then space colonies will take off and be the norm. But without pioneers like China or USA taking the risk and spending the money and advancing the tech, it will never happen and we will always be a single planet species that will be wiped out when a massive asteroid hits us or we have a nuclear war on earth.

Establishing a colony without a direct supply line is already a nightmare task on earth. I dont think we will see anything beyond science crews in mars in our lifetime.
