Actually, I listened to some biologists. They say to ensure generic diversity we need at least 10,000 people in a colony.
Good chance you'll run into a Duster cousin on Mars, so it's also a good idea to keep tabs on the lineage before you hit up the first bar.
But a fully self sufficient colony. Not just bare minimum humans there. 10000 is a very small city.
For survival that number could be way lower. Also could freeze reproductive cells and they probably would do this regardless
@@883kodiak exactly. you can't run a self-sustaining technological civilization w/ 10k ppl. Unless you have post-scarcity tech, which we don't currently have.
That's probably for an indefinitely self-sustaining colony. 100 could get you through 2 generations of travel but that's assuming you'd be able to meet many more at your destination.
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.
Nice when somebody adds scientific notes to the comments. Thanks 😊
SpaceX could use Starship to loft materials to build EarthMars Aldrin Cycler ships to be boosted into solar orbits that have a short leg and long leg, and encounter Earth and Mars during every orbit. Once established into solar orbit, they wouldn't require further major ∆v changes.
Starship could ferry people and freight to meet these Cyclers that would consist of two groups, such that people would board the "short" trips each way, while freight would be shipped via the "long" return legs of each group's orbital periods between Earth and Mars
SpaceX Aldrin Cyclers would be the efficient way to move people and supplies between Earth and Mars.
I’m very doubtful that the person who makes these videos knows what they’re talking about
Okay, but I like the videos explanation. It can just be explained as "it's faster".
Robert Zubrin - The Case For Mars, pages 88 and 89.
Starship stands to interstellar travel, like hot air balloons to a modern fighter jet.
That is a good analogy. Hot air balloons are VERY slow
That one left me laughing 🤣
You’re not an aviator, clearly
Nobody's sending Starship to other star systems, but chances are that when we start building ships that will go to other stars, SpaceX will be the ones building them
I think comparing a person jumping to a modern fighter jet is a better analogy.
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
We'll erect a plaque in your honor.

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.
we need to colonize the moon to build those. low gravity, no atmosphere, easy to get lots of mass into orbit.
@@JOlivier2011 noone huge ship is to dangerous both to build and to finance. it will be done by armada of small aND MDIUM SIZED SHIP REDUNDUNCY INCASE A VECHILE FAILS HALF WAY THERE,
@@alexisdespland4939 still a lot of mass.
@@JOlivier2011 DOSE THE MOON CONTAIN THE RIGHT MINERALS FOR THAT IN SUGFIENT QUALATY AND QUANTANTY TO BE ECONOMICALLY EXPLOTABLE.
@alexisdespland4939 You don't mine the moon, the moon is the base/port for it. You mine the belt for resources.
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.
its only worth what the markets will pay, once its mined, refined, and transported to earth (expensive process). flooding the market with rare stuff will just lower the price you can get for it. its better to just create a space economy, do the manufacturing in space, and just cut earth out of the loop.
We can set up contained environments to grow whatever plants we need. In fact, I support the idea of such greenhouse type environments throughout the colonies to keep species of both plants and animals from becoming extinct. In addition to providing for the needs of the colonies.
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.
so....about 200 years till whatever this idiot said comes true.... that is if great leaps are taken(like rapid advancement in aviation during world wars)
THE GALAXY????
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.
now, if only the information relayed was correct
@@element5377 What was incorrect?
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.
What idea that I think is often neglected is laser propulsion. Facilities on an airless body like the moon could use locally generated power to operate arrays of lasers. These lasers are then focused on a highly reflective, and huge, parachute. Light has momentum, and gigawatts of light has quite a lot of momentum. The more of these facilities along a route, the more they can accelerate interstellar ships. Those ships can then use their fusion engines just to slow down, allowing for a much higher top speed. If similar facilities are built at the end of a routes, ships can be slowed down in that matter. In fact, this system so outperforms even antimatter, once it's built, that ships being propelled by these lasers could conceivably achieve speeds close to the speed of light. Fortunately, all this laser light everywhere is the perfect solution to deal with the interstellar medium.
sounds somewhat plausible, though even lasers have distance limitations. also, how do you power "facilities along the route", because even lasers have distance limitations. i think the ships will have to coast once the laser can no longer push the sail
Earth is the best ship we’ll ever have. We are going places here too.
The biggest enabler of all this are the Starlink revenues.
It would be interesting building 1000 star ships as the improvements between the first and the last and how would you work on maintaining the differences for the passengers who gets the "old" ones and less features interesting
Have you ever flown on a plane with no seat back screens?
@@garikloran8175 yes
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.
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.
50 years??? only 50???
Colonizing the solar system is a 200 year long task. Which is what we should be focusing on right now.
Mars has somethings asteroids do not, starting with a gravity well that is expensive to get out of, more expensive than the moon and less expensive that the Earth. In comparison the fuel needed to get to an asteroid is tiny. It also has sandstorms and almost as much radiation as empty space.
Its actually more economical to go to any of the million or so main belt asteroids than to Mars *or the Moon* because of those pesky gravity wells.
Also large spinning space habitats are easier to build when you are right next to the materials needed to build them.
Pipe dream for now and for ever…🎉
@@Robweisenhowsermaybe like Christopher Columbus we find a new continent on our way to India? At least he was clear he was looking for spices. 😂
In another way thinking , That's fine if we wish upon a star travel but we may have to start from scratch one day again and approach how we are going to build a space baron society.
This is awesome my love
Super Interesting video! I loved it
I luv that phrase, " JUST a hundred tons of uranium" that's ALL !
A hundred tons of uranium is very easily gotten. It is far from rare on earth. Shit, the US spies foound 23 tons of it hiding in German hands in 1945 before mining had even taken off.
I love your content. Please keep it up
U r bot
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 ? 🤔
No but the jupiter is there 😊
I hope I'm wrong but this may all be a mathematician's fantasy as yet no one to date has produced a real world demonstration.
The first calculations showed the mass of half the universe required, the next the the suns mass, then Jupiter mass and currently Dr Harold Sonny White, formally of NASA's Eagleworks calculates the "mass energy" Equivalent of the voyager space craft (one ton matter+ one ton anti matter?).
Ideas and calculation's on possible field geometries are changing all the time who knows but its nice to dream "Mr. Sulu ahead warp factor one."
The Hawking radiation produced makes the Alcubierre drive untenable. That and many other issues.
Not yet.
Over the past several years they have managed to reduce the energy requirements down from that considerably.
Excellent Reporting and Analysis 🖖🏽
What about the Mach Drive Engine!!??
It's being talked about as you post this.
And could move a huge ship with a relatively small reactor
Plus we will be using fusion soon!!
This one was fun! Appreciate your efforts.
Considering the distances and the speed of light vs. the speed of a spaceship, how would we even know where the star actually is? And how easy would it be to find earth/sun for a return trip?
my idea is that different types of ships will be built. first earth orbit ships, second type tankers, third moon ships that can land on the moon so they do not have a heat shield. fourth mars ships that can also land but have a heat shield for mars .fifth are not actually ships, but ships can connect to them and then travel faster and further using nuclear power.
currently the most realistic option is a solar sail (propelled by laser) which is cool for getting there but how ya gonna slow down?
Thank you for sharing 😀🙃💔💯
Sounds like the plot of, The Expanse
Someone has been watching th Expance. Bag of pipe dreams
Do you associate every idea with some silly show? Take a break from the TV
Says the theoretical physicist commenting from his couch eating Doritos
Says the guy with blue hair
Even the Expanse didn't have interstellar travel
Lol, says the guy with blue hair.
I'd lay off the pipe yourself, buddy.
At 0:19 the commentator says "his team at SpaceX is already laying the groundwork for the future of Humanity's Interstellar exploration". In fact the Soviet Union laid the groundwork for the future of Humanity's Interstellar exploration in the 1950s. The huge cylindrical mother-ships observed by Adamski were probably used to launch spy craft in the United States, but they had the potential to become true star ships able to reach other solar systems in weeks rather than decades.
I have Starlink in my coach and it works great. It is a system within reach of the current technology. What you forgot to mention in your video is that space is not actually empty. A fast-moving spaceship can't dodge obstacles like an Indy car (more energy requirements). In SiFi movies like, "passengers" they have plasma shields to protect themselves from space debris. This movie does a good job of presenting a scenario that could and probably will happen. Currently, no one knows how to build these things. But we'll figure it out. Okay maybe? But not in anyone's current lifetime. Also, the faster you go, the smaller the object needs to be to cause catastrophic failure (K.E. = 1/2 m v2). Kaboom!!! We do not have that tech and it would take multiples of the energy you mentioned to supply such a shield system. Of course, as in target shooting, you have to aim high to hit a target far away. And that's okay. If (big if) mankind can survive its own stupidity, (hate, war, disease) we might have a chance. Judging from the current state of idiocy in the world, I have my doubts. You can't run away from the problems, because you'll be taking human nature with you. And humans in some respects, are stupid! We can figure out all these insurmountable technical problems, but we can't figure out how to get along. Entertaining video though.
Awesome thanks
Can you make a video about the spacecraft we see in games like No Man Sky and Star Citizen. I am talking about the ones with four legs which can easily leave orbit and re enter easily
We have to remember that those are video games. In real life it doesnt work like that.
@@renetuuliranta they can make a more knowledgeable video about this topic then you just saying it doesn't work like that
@@pranjaydass6240 Sure. And who knows what we will have in the future 👍
@@renetuuliranta you are right
I think we should focus on the solar system for the next centuries, there are many moons to create settlements from and and a few planets we could actually terraform, after that we will have the tech to start thinking interstellar
I would love to test the idea of Magnetic suits for artificial gravity that work by larger magnetic walkways! Or core of shuttle gives out magnetic charge that the suits react to tricking the body I to thinking it’s Gravity
Thanks for an amazing, thought provoking video. As crazy as Elon's idea seems, it makes more sense than anything else I've heard. And he's just the man to make the impossible mearly late. Lol
The first mission will be done by Optimus.
Would subsurface mercury and venus have a habitable temperature like planets in the goldylocks zone?
I sincerely doubt would make a worthwhile candidate for an unquestioned leader of an incredibly isolated & remote “kingdom”.
Good grammar. No one knows what you were trying to say, ya simp
Asteroid is valued at up to umpteen Trillin dollars… Only by idiots who assume that mining will cost nothing and that increasing the supply of barely in demand rare metal X won’t crash the price…
The cost of transport and mining will fall rapidly over time. Minerals will be introduced slowly, like De Beers does with diamonds.
Yes those NASA people must have done it on April 1st
The true value of anything mined off Earth is if industry that can use it is also up there or even local to source. It does highlight a major problem any talk of off world purpose has which is why? If there is no money and huge profit in it nobody will bother.
My thinking on that asteroid is big business down here would pay not to have it come down for the very reason it would destroy the delicate balance they control.
@@billweberx This is silly. Jewel grade Diamonds are a luxury good that have a high retail price (but are worth only a fraction of the price of you try to resell) because of that controlled supply. They contribute nothing, nada, to the functioning of the the productive economy. And if the supply increases even slightly - which is what will happen to rare metals mined in space - the price will fall. A lot. You can’t have increased supply and artificially maintained scarcity at the same time!
I hope youre having a great day❤️👍🚀🚀🙏🎂🩸🚀🎉🎊🥰😘
In defense of the alcubiere drive, although still far away, many breakthroughs have already been made that massively reduced the requirements. It is definitely a possibility
When and how, for now after forty years of trying, no Earthling can survive the conditions of the moon, how many centuries will it take to survive on Mars.
Great point, keep in mind that the mars goal is just to justify SpaceX and its supreme leader marketing and $$$ plans. No one is going to mars… 😊
We can survive as long as we stay inside or suit up, just like anywhere else in space.
This is why the development of Starship is very important. We need a large vehicle to transport building materials to create livable spaces. Starship is reusable too, so they can make many round trips, as often as possible, to build a sturdy colony.
Why don't t we use helicopter blades to slow down the craft in re-entry. Brake the rotation and slow it down charging electric motors then to lift the craft on final decent percentage before ground
Assuming there will be no accidents during this Mars journey is unsafe... it is safer to assume there will be accidents - then you can ask relevant questions about these hypothetical accidents and prepare for them realistically. Then those risks can really be acceptable enough to take... Not preparing for accidents is an accident waiting to happen - as Murphy's law states, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." - at the most inopportune time...
There's a huge gap in technological advancements between nuclear fission drive and an antimatter one. Like, with fission we can actually imagine how to build one, today, but with antimatter one we aren't anywhere close and is more along the lines of science fiction for now. I would imagine the much better tack is to invest in nuclear fusion drive as an interim if we are serious about it.
Traveling these extremely vast distances with no gravity ( even a rotating attempt) wouldn't be feasible for multi generational humans.
That’s why “thrust gravity” is more attractive/preferred/natural(?) than gravity by rotating (especially when traveling and not being a station in orbit). But the issue is fuel efficiency..
Now assuming we’ve solved the fuel issue and have loooooots of energy for less fuel then:
A constant acceleration along the direction of moving will create gravity in the opposite direction (the expanse is the best example). The spaceships will be like buildings flying on their side with people walking perpendicular to direction of motion.
1/3g constant acceleration for 10 months - turn of thrust (and gravity for the flip) - flip the ship 180 degrees - deceleration of 1/3g for next few months. Now the floors become ceiling.
Accelerate at 1g. Decelerate at 1g
But our lord and right-populists saviour Elon says so, so his bot army believes it
the old wheeled space station would be a simple idea
@@errolfoster1101 The issue with spin gravity is that the radius needs to be huge so that revolutions need not be too quick. Also if ship is big, it’ll need huuuuge thrust and energy to accelerate/decelerate, change direction even a little bit. That’s why thrust gravity is more versatile/preferred I guess.
Spin gravity will be perfect for stations that will only stay in orbit and don’t need to travel.
Mega starship, dark matter, warp drive....What the hell was that?😅
Once they get a fueling station on the moon, well, "Sky's the limit" Would be an understatement.
Launching form the moon, takes far less fuel.
Launching Full Fuel Tanker Starships, for refueling, from the moon would be the goal.
Ohhhh this should be good!!
I love learning about interstellar travel from a guy who pretends to be an engineer on TV!
Epic! 😎
Cosmic rays really are an easily overlooked problem. Why so few thoughts on better shielding?
The ships that are going to take humans into deep space are going to make starship look like prehistoric antique. I love these videos because they really fuel your imagination and give hope for new human horizons!
I so want in on all this
Melon Tusk is good at creating hype, but even for its size the Starship is just a delivery van and not a cruise ship.
I wonder if Starship is even a good choice for the route to Mars.
Why would it not be?
we probably wont go to mars on a starship, too slow and the cosmic radiation would be unacceptable over 9 months, we'd probably use a nuclear powered redundant spacecraft, but without starship we wouldn't even be able to build said spaceship, and ss is VITAL for future space economic growth
In the past 4-5 years, Elon is a liability to any company he is involved in. He is too terminally online, too petty, too thin-skinned and too egocentric.
It's not, it's too slow. Mars can be reached only with nuclear propulsion.
@@Orangefalcon-hp4wn Because it runs on chemical propellants. Nuclear rockets are just around the corner and make way more sense for a journey to Mars.
SpaceX should create some type of structure in space. Where they can dock 6 or more Starships in circle and use its own thrusters to create artificial gravity. This would help on long trips for astronauts to stay healthy and safe. if anything goes wrong in any Starship they can just ditch it and transfer everything to another Starship and continue with their mission and also they can land multiple Starships anywhere in our solar system.
Edit.. Another thought came to my mind if they're gonna go nuclear propulsion. They should build the propulsion system in the center of the structure, so they don't have to beef up each starship from radiation inside.
How about a magnetically charged plasma that shot out the back like a railgun! And it pulses a purple beam every 20 seconds.
I would miss the wind, our sky, the sea and all the wonderful life on Earth.
Psst, hey buddy, I know this guy who knows a guy who can hook you up with all the antimatter you want, but trust me, what you really want is a boat load of Element X. That shit is amazing, so much better than antimatter, what do ya say want me to give him call?
There's a lot of interesting details about how humanity might eventually travel beyond our solar system. Whether any particular corporation aspires to that task and the wealth that would accompany it? Not so interesting.
Whahhhhhhh says the baby 😂
I am very optimistic that optimist is planned in the game of chess and originally being designed for Mars to start building the city!
1st would have to be a consolation of satellite communications between Earth and Mars...
2 learn how to get there and land....
3 send Optimus to explore, map out in human point of view.
4 materials & more Optimus.
5 animal & or human....
Maybe 🤔
The future is bright but the path has yet to be lit.
Sending a robot with AI and a science lab with a lot of materials is how we could possibly seed life on another planet.
No need for anykind of rocket nuclear or chemical, you can build an satellite that flux pins on the suns magnetosphere at extremely low solar orbit and have it accelerate up to a relativistic velocity by simply using an angulated solar sail angled so that solar rafiative pressure accelerates the satellite up to near light speed, staying in its low solar orbit as its flux pinned on the magnetosphere, time it right with correct interstellar trajectory planning and attach an launch vehicle to said satellite and its easy to get to and slow down at proxima by simply pinning on proximas magnetosphere and applying the reverse process by angulating the sail so that the rafiative force decelerates the vehicle
I LOVE what you do, but please also continue to start with "This is... the Space Race" it's just too cool to leave out.
The only viable solution is something like the alcubiere drive. All the other solutions also need to slowdown upon arrival, meaning that max speed cannot be used all of the time, thereby significally adding to the travel time
What about anti gravity?
I would think it would be cool if Elon Musk narrates a Star Trek esque opening for a next SpaceX presentation.
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
Keep in mind robot batteries don’t do well at cold temperatures, but being SpaceX they will find that out once robots are on mars but they can’t figure why the robots don’t power up 😂😂😂
Maybe send the power plant and charging stations to mars first 😂
Elon/Tony Stark makes going to space like catching a plane 😮 love it... space x team you hot right now
Do u know what the speed of light can do to a human or organism?
Orbits and EM spectrum are public goods. The only way SpaceX sees most of a 1 trillion dollar market is if they are able to maintain a monopoly where they are the only company allowed to use those public goods, privatizing them.
Ok dude 😂 This title is misleading. Do you mean Mars or the solar system, not the galaxy? I doubt the company will still be around for that when we start doing that
They mentioned another star system, making it a galactic journey by definition, dumbo
Don’t hold your breath!!
no, breath holding is helpful, add that to the list.
Very insightful 😂
I can't breathe
Is it just me or the thumbnail looks like the rocket from the movie 'away' from Netflix?????

If mars is the next step towards space advancement what will happen afterwards?
Most people don't know about the 1 realistic method for interstellar travel. If a ship travels at a constant 1g acceleration rate it would get to Alpha Centauri in 3.6 years (7.3 years would pass on Earth) and this includes turning the ship around halfway to decelerate. It would achieve about .95% light speed in 1 year. A 10 ton ship would require 10 tons of continuous thrust.
This is by far the fastest way we can get to other worlds and the ship would have gravity the whole way. All that is needed for this is a fission rocket that can put out thrust for long periods and does not consume hydrogen.
A true fission rocket should consume uranium or plutonium only. They are both jittery atoms that are on the verge of fissioning all by themselves. There should be a way to get them to fission in a linear fashion. What's needed is a controlled, time released nuclear explosion.
In an atomic bomb fission occurs when neutrons hit uranium or plutonium nuclei. This is because they will not tolerate an increase in mass. Due to the equivalence of mass and energy, the same should be true if you infuse them with energy. This might be as simple as having negatively changed uranium or plutonium atoms coming into contact with positively charged uranium or plutonium atoms. Or perhaps with laser or electromagnetic forces.
With the constant 1g acceleration method a ship can span the entire diameter of our galaxy in 24 ship/113,000 Earth years. Systems with stars similar to our sun can be reached in under 10 ship years.
That would be ideal, yes. But the engineering involved is far beyond anything we can produce right now.
You don't actually have to leave the solar system for our sun to appear like "nothing more than another speck of light in an infinite sky". It would look like that, from Pluto's orbit. Just saying...
Nah,
Why are you speaking to interstellar travel?
A more tangible "100 year goal", on the colonization of Mars along with its initial government setup would make for a more interesting video.
On Mars...
What argriculture would work?
What technologies would dominate?
Laws and order.
Infrastructure building.
That would make a great topic covering the years 2050-2150.

I think that they should figure a way to drag comets to Mars to increase the surface water.
1/3 gravity on Mars may cause some serious long-term health issues for the colonists
Every generation that lives there will slowly adapt to the new environment just as humans adapted to live in different places of the earth.
@Fusion_4000 Not quite applicable. We are not talking different climate. We're talking fundamentals and much lower gravity is not something the body simply "adapts" to. Even for Musk cultists.
@@macbuff81your last sentence here invalidates you’re entire “argument”.. and science
Imagine being born on a multi generational interstellar ship and discovering there is a place called earth through grandpa tales :(
It would make more sense to send an unmanned mission to a planet with an AI that will seed the planet with genetic material for life.
I would be happy if spacex is able to go to the damn moon without 10 refuels and cost overruns. That would be a good starting point. The rest is typical musk fantasy blabla.
But im happy to be proven wrong.
Over all i would say im really into that stuff and i would love to see any of that, but if you dig a bit deaper and see what scientists are currently up to (spaceX or not), this idea sounds a bit silly... A nuclear fusion drive would probably be the closest bet to archive enough efficency to archive the needed speed, and even that in comparison "simpe" concept is incredible hard to archive... Man i dont dont think spaceX will archive any of that anytime soon.
we already have the tech to go anywhere, sadly it locked away in the black budget. we could use the TR3B. made by Lockheed Martin
Problem with Asteroid mining is economics. The value of a resource is determined by its relative scarcity. One thousand quadrillion dollars becomes pennies when the supply of those metals is multiplied by a thousand. Unless you are also engaged in future tech mega structure building on an extra planetary scale, what are you going to do with a hunk of antimony the size of Delaware?
Build interplanetary spaceships - the size of Delaware, out of glass.
@@jackreacher. Great goal for humanity but explain to me how the economics works.

Excellent video, as usual! Could some one please link me to the soundtrack for this video?
warpdrive?
Cool!
Asimov wrote a story called The Martian Way which wasn't really about interstellar travel but the business of purpose of Mars. I don't think the goal should be travel but business and making things sustainable. The destination should be mining asteroids and harvesting minerals.
