@@dacotafett510 i dont think he understood it :P edit: People keep thinking I'm the one who didn't understand this but my comment was to OP about another person who had commented on this post prior.
@Ray W Absolutely. But we also need to talk about it reasonably. It's laughable to think that any career politicians like the ones we have would care about the climate, for them it is a hot-topic, a tool to drive their agendas, to gain power, so their solutions and methods are always extreme because their aim is not resolution but immobilization of the issue to fire up the crowd, against each other and towards their side. One party uses it as a tool and the other reactionarily, at least majority of them, denies that it is even an issue. What we need for this issue is not aimless debates by politicians, but among credible, not ideologically driven Scientists and Economists, and for the people to be a part of those discussions, and then draw their conclusions after knowing all the facts of the matter. This is how democracy should work.
Dacota Fett you are basically saying that once people grow enough to understand the value of doing altruistic things that is when a society becomes great..rite!?! Seems like the rest of the comments took it down a literal lane haha
It’s an old Greek (I think) adage. It means “when this generation does things for the next generation, things they will never see the benefit of, people as a whole will advance”...basically, the only successful society is an unselfish one. One not drawn towards materialism. I don’t think that we are there yet, but the millennials, the “snowflakes”, as they are commonly referred to, give me hope. When we understand that we are but one part of a whole, our lives and how we live them will change.
I would gladly go to Mars. Going to Mars would be like going to the Americas during the 1600s. Or heading West from Ohio or Tennessee to just see what's over the next horizon. You could be the first person to ever stand on Mars, and you'd not go because you might get lonely? We could easily send you with a large antenna, a camera, and a monitor so you could skype back and forth with the world. We likely would even if you didn't complain about getting lonely so we could check in on progress. You wouldn't want another Jamestown, right? Imagine looking up and seeing Earth in the sky just like how you look up now and see Mars. Nobody has ever seen Earth from that far away before in person. For the first few decades it would be an awful place, but would it be so different from working for your corporate overlords here on Earth? Instead of coming to work in the morning with a giant stack of papers on your desk, you wake up and get to build a greenhouse or hike to see if you can find useful resources nearby with some sort of strange metal detector. I'm not saying it'd be a great time. Sure you'd probably be miserable for the first decade or so, but we'd probably send more people after you'd set up a small colony with a half dozen other people.
Except everything you've come to know you wouldn't have access to...no sport no socialising no bar to drink at or drink to drink and how long did earth take to create vibrant lands and so on....there are 10 trillion reasons why earthlings lol wouldn't go to mars because they love earth and mars is a choice of survival when the time arrives...It's more an experiment than a genuine decision to live there eventually and is a last resort not a holiday destination or a home....life as we know it is on earth so how could you live on mars!
@@andrewb378 The Mars surface is anti-microbiological and kills any life form inside a minute. Everything outside your suit, your housing will kill you instantly.

I can listen to Brian all day, when interviewed by Joe. Joe keeps the conversation flowing nicely, and asks all of the questions that I would have. Especially the proposal of using VR and AR in conjunction to space exploration.
The closest star is 4 light years away, meaning that radiowave would need to travel 4 years back from the probe to the VR headset. And then your command would take another 4 years to get back to the probe. All of that to say that a) all you’ll see will be a 4 year old recording, and b) the probe will need to be very smart so it can make decisions autonomously. Otherwise imagine the probe stopping in front of an abyss and sending a request “what do I do next” to earth. Then, 8 years later, it will get a reply back saying “get away!” Except it may not be there any longer - 8 years is a really long time...

Yeah but to be fair, the lack of pressure in outer space doesn't tend to crush your lungs or your external tanks. In both cases neither option is ideal for us.
@@captinweestain526 it really isn't... The ocean has a definitive size relative to the earth. Space has no boundaries as far as we are concerned and goes on forever.
Keep in mind that they said it can be 20C in the middle of summer at the hottest place on Mars. And that on this place, which is the hottest and also where the atmosphere is densest, it just might be high enough air pressure that you can have liquid water. In think the air pressure is somewhere around 1% of that on Earth. So not exactly a place where you can wear your summer clothes.

Loool, I had to look it up on streetview. Y'all have so many straight and deserted roads... Why does the land of the free have a speed limit? WTF? Aren't the midwest or desert states just perfect for racing through?
I think one of the biggest challenges with humans visiting mars is that it's a one way trip. Mars takes twice as long to orbit as earth, so Earth would have to cover an orbit and a half plus travel time for a return home. You'd be stranded for a very long time, if anything goes wrong, anything at all you're dead because travel has a very limited window. You would only get non-human support because unless you could manage a round trip, and a month travel time makes it unlikely, anyone going is not coming back lol. That's why people say you'd have to go to colonize, humans going only for research is out of the question. It complicates the mission to a crazy scale, you'd have to take an entire habitat with you as well as contingencies to your contingencies. That's why any proposal for ships tend to be ridiculously large, you would need multiple connected ships and it would most likely be launched in sections and assembled and refueled in space. You might even need to create fueling checkpoints to speed up the process.
It’s always strange to me to see Brian Cox , in England he was known for having one of the biggest songs of the 90s way before we knew he was a genius 🤯
The Martian is one of the best sci fi books I ever read. Soon as it came out and I saw the premise, I bought it instantly and I was not disappointed. Soon as I finished reading it, I said to my self. This is certainly going to be made into a movie. 100%. They did, lol. and it didn't take long to do it either.
My biggest argument against people who claim we can Terra-form Mars has always been the same reason its previous atmosphere disappeared, because of the solar wind and the lack of a magnetic field. .. .unless you can start the core spinning again I just dont see how Terra-forming Mars would be possible..... I would love to hear Brian's answer to this question.
@@supersuede91 Thats not what they mean when they say they are gonna teraform the planet though. Whats the point in teraforming it if we are just gonna live underground anyway?
@@MrRABC1 Well I think eventually we can terraform it but that is a long time away to get that technology working. The first Martians will probably just live underground.
@@supersuede91 I agree living underground sounds like a viable option and something that could work but replacing the atmosphere and making it breathable for humans just sounds unreachable ESPECIALLY when you consider we cant restart the core or replace the magnetic field for protection from the solar wind. It would still have an atmosphere if that was possible imo.
@@MrRABC1 Well Mars may not be able to do it on its own, but remember that Mars used to have a thicker atmosphere, higher temperatures, and higher pressures billions of years ago - so there's no universal Law out there that prevents Mars from having such features, so humans could catalyse that with some far off advanced technology we don't have yet.
Someone please tell me there’s like a 90 minute podcast of these two talking purely about physics, space and everything related. This is what I need in my ears
Rick and Morty should cast Brian as himself in the series where they go on an adventure together and Brian casually sprinkles knowledge about the universal much to Rick's chagrin.
Brian is being humble, he obviously knows the exact answer to questions such "what's the gravity on Mars?" Instead of saying 38% just says "about a third".
Finally someone with some sense they've been talking about trying to build a flying City to go colonized Venus and I felt like I was the only one that thought that was a horrible idea
This is fucking amazing. I keep coming back to your interview segments with Brian. One of the best ever on the show. 38% gravity on Mars compared to Earth.
If you ever get depressed about not living to see the solar system inhabited, I recommend Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. It starts off as a little bit of a hunger games rip off but every book afterwards is mind bogglingly complex but at the same time super readable. The characters are fantastic, story is top notch but the setting really made it one of my favorite sci-fi series of the decade.
Honestly this is all so amazing, and I used to feel shame and be constantly shrouded in existentialism due to the fact that my name and contributions will be lost in history and future time. However it also remindes me that no matter how great our opportunities are in the future, none of them will be fuffiled or last long if we don't focus on improving our planet. That's why I'm okay with not necessarily working in NASA or becoming a god tier physicist, cause I know that what I'm doing now is going to the greater good and initial healing our planet is in need of. I'm not even necessarily talking about global warming either, but everything such as diplomacy and politics that also improve the state of our world, cause there are still people that live to work and not work to live, and aren't able to activate their fullest potential and purpose. In my case, I used to feel like becoming a doctor was usless because there isn't a point to anything, but I'm okay with it now. That concludes my ted talk thank you.
Gotta love Brian Cox. If you’ve not seen them yet he has a lot of awesome documentaries on space and physics! And for those wondering... yes he was in a band most notably DReam in the 90’s.
If you like that idea, watch the show "The Expanse." It's on Amazon Prime and it's set two hundred years in the future, with humanity spread across the inner planets, moons and asteroid belt. It's a sci-fi show with realistic physics and amazing starship battles.
A very interesting point I heard someone make was that if we had the powers to terraform mars and make it habitable it would be much easier to save earth than colonizing a whole new planet.
Once in Physics class, we calculated how long it would take to get to Alpha Centauri if the ship travelled with a constant acceleration of 1g (that's Earth's gravity), which would be most comfortable for human passengers. We got roughly 9 years, 4.5 of that would be positive acceleration, then flip the ship around and 4.5 years of slowing down to arrive there with velocity=0, otherwise you would just fly by. Trick is to find a way to create constant acceleration for 9 years. The conventional way is to dump mass behind you (rocket propulsion) which you can't feasibly do for that long. Other ways are less predictable.
At 1g you're looking at about 7 years in observer time, reaching 90% of the speed of light. For those on board it would seem like 5 years due to time dilation.
The speed for which a spacecraft is to travel exactly 4 light years (2.351e13 miles or 3.784e13 km) in exactly 100 years as Brian describes would take the speed of the ship to estimate at about: Miles: 26,844,748.86 mph / 447412.481 mpm / 7456.875 mps Kilometers: 43202435.509 kph / 720040.592 kpm / 12000.68 kps Loved this podcast, check and please correct if I am wrong.
Only tiny difference there professor is that the spacex has got reusable “orbital class” boosters which can put 30t-50t to orbit(falcon heavy), whereas blue origin has got suborbital class boosters which can put exactly ZERO tonnes to orbit 😂
Joseph Clark You obviously have never played Destiny lol, it’s actually in arguably the best state it’s ever been in right now both gameplay wise and with micro transactions. & Bungie just split from Activision so it’ll only get better from here. Nice try tho 👍🏾
@@YetiCoolBrother I played both destinies 😂 everyone knows the first destiny was a piece of shit. It got hyped up so much and made out to be so much bigger and better than it was and it was disappointing. There was no story, 5 missions per planet and some PvP stuff. Then the dlcs came out giving us more missions but they were overpriced when considering how little content they added. Then destiny 2 came out and things looked hopeful. The storyline was great, it poked fun at itself for the mistakes of the first one and was a genuine improvement until the dlcs came out and people were locked out of certain things from the game they were already playing and were told they'd have to now pay if they wanted to continue with it, and how the weapons customisation was worse, there was a heavy emphasis towards microtransactions, the first dlcs boss was a boss from the first destiny just with a new name (as if we wouldn't notice) and it just became a terrible disappointment. From company's such as bungie and Activision whom have given the gaming community some of the best videogame franchises such as halo for bungie, they could have done so much more with destiny. Destiny 2 is an okay game to play but overall they're trash. Nice try tho😘
Fun fact: Hellas is the Greek name for Greece, kind of like Germany being called Deutschland by the Germans themselves. The crater was actually named after the country.

Steven Kaspick that’s very true. I read somewhere recently that MN is in the top 5 states for taxes now. Considering all of that I’m sure the net income is roughly the same.
I honestly think man will hit a point where sustainability, population control, nature, and having a symbiotic relationship with our planet will be the most important thing (in comparison to growth and expansion like it has been for 100s of years). maybe space exploration will be a thing, but like he said, who wants to live on mars? earth is beautiful and where we really belong.
I think there'll be a big thing this century to want to explore mars but as soon as that wears off we won't give a fuck anymore. Even Martians (colonisers born and raised on mars) will visit earth and consider it paradise. Then we'll realise that mars kinda sucks and we'll just use mars and the moon as places for industry and money, but not so much at all for colonising or any of that
100's of years? You're referring to the same trait that made early humans leave Africa. It made our distant relatives come down from the trees. It made aquatic life go ashore for the first time. This is not something I'd anticipate to go away anytime soon.
"I honestly think man will hit a point where sustainability, population control, nature, and having a symbiotic relationship with our planet will be the most important thing" That time was 1970s, it far far too late for any of that now. And this dream of space exploration is just that. A dream.
I have watched all of these two onCZcams now and actually I think Mr Rogan asked some very intelligent questions and also showed quite a bit of knowledge in some of the topics. I think Brian Cox really enjoyed this discussion a lot more than the usual tripe he has to cope with.
Such a good show. I'm personally also partial to Killjoys and Dark Matter if I'm jonesing for some space tv. Syfy really turned their shit around a few years back and I have honestly been floored by some of the visuals and overall quality of their Syfy original shows.

Brian Cox ‘it would take 100 years to get there on current technology’
Joe Rogan ‘so how long would that take?’
???
0:50
Can we send Eddie Bravo there?
Look into it.
@@G00B3R91 lmao
They would send him back.
Maybe he could see the shape of earth on the way. Oh wait! The lenses in his eyes would distort it
Its entirely possible
I love this channel, I get to pick the best b bits of podcasts I rarely have time to listen to! 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Yeah, you know what? I saw "Total Recall". I know what's gonna happen on Mars, and no thanks. I like my eyeballs right where they are, thank you.
Joe needs to have brian cox on for another 10 hour podcast. I have watched his 2 episodes too many times now. Thanks
Imagine online dating when we have humans living on earth and mars. "Where you live"
"Mars"
"Uhhh shiet"
It's a match! Current location: 15 light minutes away
i love this specific pod cast for real
I’m so glad I actually love to learn stuff. This is great thanks joe Rogan. My new nightly routine
"Mars is quite nice!" LOL
My biggest argument against people who claim we can Terra-form Mars has always been the same reason its previous atmosphere disappeared, because of the solar wind and the lack of a magnetic field. .. .unless you can start the core spinning again I just dont see how Terra-forming Mars would be possible..... I would love to hear Brian's answer to this question.
Agreed - living on Mars wouldn't be living on the surface, Martians would need to live in deep craters and caves like Brian mentioned
@@supersuede91
Thats not what they mean when they say they are gonna teraform the planet though. Whats the point in teraforming it if we are just gonna live underground anyway?
@@MrRABC1 Well I think eventually we can terraform it but that is a long time away to get that technology working. The first Martians will probably just live underground.
@@supersuede91
I agree living underground sounds like a viable option and something that could work but replacing the atmosphere and making it breathable for humans just sounds unreachable ESPECIALLY when you consider we cant restart the core or replace the magnetic field for protection from the solar wind. It would still have an atmosphere if that was possible imo.
@@MrRABC1 Well Mars may not be able to do it on its own, but remember that Mars used to have a thicker atmosphere, higher temperatures, and higher pressures billions of years ago - so there's no universal Law out there that prevents Mars from having such features, so humans could catalyse that with some far off advanced technology we don't have yet.
Our interstellar or Mars colonization project should be named Cathedral in honor of Brian Cox.
20 degrees Celsius at the bottom of a 7 mile-deep crater in Mars. That blew my mind.
@NyYankees1985 68
He meant mars in general can be 20c
Damn even Mars is warmer than Minnesota lol
When cox doesn't smile whilst talking, you know he means business.
Someone please tell me there’s like a 90 minute podcast of these two talking purely about physics, space and everything related. This is what I need in my ears
Theres like 3
Uhh.... just look at the description and it has the link to the whole thing, which is like 1 1/2 - 2 hours.... and he has been on before, I think
Rick and Morty should cast Brian as himself in the series where they go on an adventure together and Brian casually sprinkles knowledge about the universal much to Rick's chagrin.
one of the quietest podcasts joe ever did
I like how Joe repeats what the guest says and tries to sound profound with all that expression XD
lol Brain's facial expression on the thumbnail is priceless.
Brian is being humble, he obviously knows the exact answer to questions such "what's the gravity on Mars?" Instead of saying 38% just says "about a third".
Jaime pull up your physics report card
Finally someone with some sense they've been talking about trying to build a flying City to go colonized Venus and I felt like I was the only one that thought that was a horrible idea
No one's been talking about that, it's so hot lead melts and 90 atmosphere's of pressure would crush anything.
This whole series of videos is facinating
I could listen to Brian for hours! Its like asmr haha.
Just me or lately have Joe's podcasts been quiter? I have to turn everything up to hear if I'm not using headphones
Little show on Amazon Prime “The Expanse”.
This is fucking amazing. I keep coming back to your interview segments with Brian. One of the best ever on the show. 38% gravity on Mars compared to Earth.
Great clip. Going to go watch full episode
If you ever get depressed about not living to see the solar system inhabited, I recommend Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. It starts off as a little bit of a hunger games rip off but every book afterwards is mind bogglingly complex but at the same time super readable. The characters are fantastic, story is top notch but the setting really made it one of my favorite sci-fi series of the decade.
I’m glad that there are ppl that will make sure humans NEVER inhabit another planet.
And on to the comments, let's see what the experts have to say
Malcontent everyone is just meme-ing. No one is trying to act like a smart ass like you are doing now. Shame on you FOOL.
@@Aciel_Yu WOOSH!! shit for brains.
my fave podcast, Brian cox needs to be a regular!
Honestly this is all so amazing, and I used to feel shame and be constantly shrouded in existentialism due to the fact that my name and contributions will be lost in history and future time. However it also remindes me that no matter how great our opportunities are in the future, none of them will be fuffiled or last long if we don't focus on improving our planet. That's why I'm okay with not necessarily working in NASA or becoming a god tier physicist, cause I know that what I'm doing now is going to the greater good and initial healing our planet is in need of. I'm not even necessarily talking about global warming either, but everything such as diplomacy and politics that also improve the state of our world, cause there are still people that live to work and not work to live, and aren't able to activate their fullest potential and purpose. In my case, I used to feel like becoming a doctor was usless because there isn't a point to anything, but I'm okay with it now. That concludes my ted talk thank you.
20°C that Brian mentioned is 68 degrees Fahrenheit
Let me go to Mars, I'm done with this place.
I'd love to see Isaac Arthur from SFIA on Joe's podcasts. That'd be real cool!
Gotta love Brian Cox. If you’ve not seen them yet he has a lot of awesome documentaries on space and physics! And for those wondering... yes he was in a band most notably DReam in the 90’s.
Best teacher ever !
Gotta get this guy back on the podcast, so fascinating and his delivery is excellent
this interview is so good
I could listen to Brian Cox speak for hours
holy shit that's crazy idea to zone the entire earth residential and do all of the heavy industry in space.
If you like that idea, watch the show "The Expanse." It's on Amazon Prime and it's set two hundred years in the future, with humanity spread across the inner planets, moons and asteroid belt. It's a sci-fi show with realistic physics and amazing starship battles.
A very interesting point I heard someone make was that if we had the powers to terraform mars and make it habitable it would be much easier to save earth than colonizing a whole new planet.
But does that mean we shouldn't do it? I disagree with ppl who say "why go to space when Earth is so broken". *But space is so cool*
When they talk about Mars, it reminds me of the first Total Recall movie lol.
"a skyscraper 800 stories tall and cover the whole Earth with it"
I believe that's called Coruscant.
Croissant
the amount of space simulations and games prepping us to deal with off world suvival IM READY sign me up hahaha
“There are no frontera left on earth.”
Oceans : “Am I joke to you?”
Yes, but the ocean is cold and we can't breath in it.
So I'm going to Mars instead. Who's with me!!
@@Brainbuster you can’t breathe on Mars either you idiot. And it’s super cold as well lmao. 😂
Once in Physics class, we calculated how long it would take to get to Alpha Centauri if the ship travelled with a constant acceleration of 1g (that's Earth's gravity), which would be most comfortable for human passengers. We got roughly 9 years, 4.5 of that would be positive acceleration, then flip the ship around and 4.5 years of slowing down to arrive there with velocity=0, otherwise you would just fly by.
Trick is to find a way to create constant acceleration for 9 years. The conventional way is to dump mass behind you (rocket propulsion) which you can't feasibly do for that long. Other ways are less predictable.
At 1g you're looking at about 7 years in observer time, reaching 90% of the speed of light. For those on board it would seem like 5 years due to time dilation.
that idea at 4:28 is so cool, I'd never thought of that. Brian Cox is a legend.
That's Jeff Bezos's main reason for wanting to set up infrastructure in space
The speed for which a spacecraft is to travel exactly 4 light years (2.351e13 miles or 3.784e13 km) in exactly 100 years as Brian describes would take the speed of the ship to estimate at about:
Miles:
26,844,748.86 mph / 447412.481 mpm / 7456.875 mps
Kilometers:
43202435.509 kph / 720040.592 kpm / 12000.68 kps
Loved this podcast, check and please correct if I am wrong.
Yes, you are correct.
Before we colonize Mars, I think we should explore Uranus.
Or we can explore uranus instead.
I bet we'd meet Klingons there
I’m game
Only once though
Disappointed with the amount of likes
Only tiny difference there professor is that the spacex has got reusable “orbital class” boosters which can put 30t-50t to orbit(falcon heavy), whereas blue origin has got suborbital class boosters which can put exactly ZERO tonnes to orbit 😂
The idea of zoning the earth residential really excites me.
Brian Cox is a great interview and a great guy to watch on tv...
Dude mentioned Hellas Basin, shout out all my Destiny players
Why would you play such a god awful cash grab😂
Joseph Clark You obviously have never played Destiny lol, it’s actually in arguably the best state it’s ever been in right now both gameplay wise and with micro transactions. & Bungie just split from Activision so it’ll only get better from here. Nice try tho 👍🏾
@@YetiCoolBrother I played both destinies 😂 everyone knows the first destiny was a piece of shit. It got hyped up so much and made out to be so much bigger and better than it was and it was disappointing. There was no story, 5 missions per planet and some PvP stuff. Then the dlcs came out giving us more missions but they were overpriced when considering how little content they added. Then destiny 2 came out and things looked hopeful. The storyline was great, it poked fun at itself for the mistakes of the first one and was a genuine improvement until the dlcs came out and people were locked out of certain things from the game they were already playing and were told they'd have to now pay if they wanted to continue with it, and how the weapons customisation was worse, there was a heavy emphasis towards microtransactions, the first dlcs boss was a boss from the first destiny just with a new name (as if we wouldn't notice) and it just became a terrible disappointment. From company's such as bungie and Activision whom have given the gaming community some of the best videogame franchises such as halo for bungie, they could have done so much more with destiny. Destiny 2 is an okay game to play but overall they're trash. Nice try tho😘
Fun fact: Hellas is the Greek name for Greece, kind of like Germany being called Deutschland by the Germans themselves. The crater was actually named after the country.
Mars - “It can be warmer than Minnesota”
I can imagine, listening to them talking about traveling back and forth to Mars, that at some point in history Iberian sailors had similar conversations. About traveling across the Atlantic Ocean back and forth someday with ease...
Yoooo we cold up here in Minnesota lol
Claybar Entertainment Wisconsin getting -60 degree wind chills Wednesday.
@@Jacob43332 -60 wtf. Its gonna be -40 here.
Lord Swaggity yeah everywhere between Chicago and GreenBay is gonna be colder than Antarctica, Mount Everest, and Siberia.
Squat, Bench and Deadlift
read, study, explore
Porn, masturbate, clean up
Hunt, clean and cook!
Walk the dog, throw the ball, fuck it in the ass
I wish we as a people valued individuals like Brain Cox more, more knowledge, more possibilities, more smiles.
Hello from Minnesota. -30 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. -58 with windchill. Consider me part of the planet Mars frontier
Or just move to another state Lol. About 65 day and 45 night in FL.
Steven Kaspick I totally would but my family all lives here and I work in the medical field and MN pays very well in comparison to the south. My goal is to spend at least a week somewhere south every winter for now on lol.
@@andrewfreiermuth8852 Yeah thats understandable. Thats the case for most people Imagine. I just was lucky my parents moved to FL when I was a baby. FL pay is pretty good especially when you consider there is no state income tax.
Steven Kaspick that’s very true. I read somewhere recently that MN is in the top 5 states for taxes now. Considering all of that I’m sure the net income is roughly the same.
Shut up b**ch.
8:15 Well, I'm up for taking Mt Everest to Mars. Might piss off the Nepalese though.
Brian Cox is great. I’d love to see Isaac Arthur come on the show.
I think what Brian to say, is that things can only get better.
I honestly think man will hit a point where sustainability, population control, nature, and having a symbiotic relationship with our planet will be the most important thing (in comparison to growth and expansion like it has been for 100s of years). maybe space exploration will be a thing, but like he said, who wants to live on mars? earth is beautiful and where we really belong.
I think there'll be a big thing this century to want to explore mars but as soon as that wears off we won't give a fuck anymore. Even Martians (colonisers born and raised on mars) will visit earth and consider it paradise. Then we'll realise that mars kinda sucks and we'll just use mars and the moon as places for industry and money, but not so much at all for colonising or any of that
100's of years? You're referring to the same trait that made early humans leave Africa. It made our distant relatives come down from the trees. It made aquatic life go ashore for the first time. This is not something I'd anticipate to go away anytime soon.
FillUmUpp Where’s that written?
"I honestly think man will hit a point where sustainability, population control, nature, and having a symbiotic relationship with our planet will be the most important thing" That time was 1970s, it far far too late for any of that now. And this dream of space exploration is just that. A dream.
Joe rogen needs to have David Wilcock on his pod cast
I have watched all of these two onCZcams now and actually I think Mr Rogan asked some very intelligent questions and also showed quite a bit of knowledge in some of the topics. I think Brian Cox really enjoyed this discussion a lot more than the usual tripe he has to cope with.
Fascinating discussion 👍
Check out "the expanse" show it's about space it's awesome
Probably the most underrated show currently on.
Such a good show. I'm personally also partial to Killjoys and Dark Matter if I'm jonesing for some space tv. Syfy really turned their shit around a few years back and I have honestly been floored by some of the visuals and overall quality of their Syfy original shows.
@@alexanderthegreatest1781 oh awesome appreciate it. Ive trying to find something else like that. Anyone seen "Nightflyers"? I'm trying to do a podcast that's Movies, GOT, and the Office. Gonna create instead of Throwback Thursday I'm gonna have "Nerdsday Thursday" and feature this sort of content. Oh look at "counterpart" on STARZ on of the most enjoyable SPY series I've ever watched with the craziest sci-fi spin on it. So good!
@@YodasPapa so true, I got Amazon prime and WAITING for season 3 to get there!
@@thesuperviewer3226 *Counterpart* is legit
