Welcome to the Astrum Sleep Space podcast; the perfect place to come and wind down for the evening while you learn more about the grandeur of the universe. I'm Alex McColgan, the founder of the Astrum brand, and your host on this podcast. Come and listen as I tell you about incredible missions, fascinating discoveries, and everything I've come to love about space.In today's episode, we ask: could humans one day live on Mars? Certainly, there are people who want to go there. Together we'll explore what it would take to set up on the Red planet; as well as the hurdles that would need to be overcome if we wanted to survive the experience.If you like what you're listening to, be sure to check out my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/@astrumspace for more great space content.

(1:05) - NASA Grant To Enable Explorations Of Concrete Behavior In Moon-Like Gravity: Colonizing Mars and setting up a base on the lunar surface for deep space exploration has been a hot topic for a while, but there is still a major unanswered question: how are we going to build structures in space? Concrete seems to be a pretty solid answer. Unfortunately, the microgravity conditions in space pose a challenge for concrete cures which can result in mechanical defects in the end product; however, Professor Yamamoto at Penn State has recently received a grant to study these defects and investigate methods to avoid them which means concrete villas on Mars might not be a far fetched reality in the near future. (12:17) - Learn About The Universe With The James Webb Space Telescope: The observable universe is about to get much bigger and we owe it all to the James Webb telescope. It will be the first to detect the light from the galaxies that were formed shortly after the Big Bang - approximately 13.5 billion years ago - and it is able to accomplish this using the new infrared sensing equipment that it's predecessor (the Hubble telescope) didn't have.But what does this mean for us? Aside from the cool new high definition images of the cosmos, we're likely going to find answers for some lingering questions but more importantly, stumble onto even more questions than we had before. Episode 38 was brought to you by Mouser Electronics, Farbod & Daniel's favorite electronics distributor :) This is the video of the space challenge hosted by Mouser Electronics that was discussed in this episode.--About the podcast:Every day, some of the most innovative universities, companies, and individual technology developers share their knowledge on Wevolver. To ensure we can also provide this knowledge for the growing group of podcast listeners, we started a collaboration with two young engineers, Daniel Scott Mitchell & Farbod Moghaddam who discuss the most interesting content in this podcast series.

Listen is as we chat with our youngest guests yet- children who build a winning Martian Colony using space wit and bare hands!
Ray Wilson is a maintenance engineer. He spends his life working to maintain the struggling Martian Colony city of Ascraeus. But someone is sabotaging the systems, stealing the equipment that maintains the critical supply of air to the people. Ray isn’t an investigator - he just wants to do his job. But the government and the mysterious Mars Corporation have other ideas about Ray and he may have no choice but be drawn into a fight for the future of Mars.Cast: Ray: Ben BrinicombeKatherine: Keri FarishThe President: Sarah Delorme Preacher: Alex MorrisonJonesy: Kai RossDave: Stuart Evans Vern: Will TillotsonTrain Announcer: Molly Hawthorne Theme Music: Jamie Sims Additional Music: The Farre WidesWritten, Directed and Edited by Ben Brinicombe Visit the Science Fiction Theatre Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheScienceFictionTheatre/ A Way Home was recorded during 2020 in accordance with Social Distancing protocols.

The idea of a Martian Colony is nothing new. Buzz Aldrin, you know the second man on the moon, himself has said that we need to skip the moon all together and head to Mars not as an expedition of scientists and researchers, but as a group of people who would start a colony. Great thinking and physicist Steven Hawking has said, and I am para phrasing here, The longer we keep all of our population on Earth with out expansion the more likely it is that some terrible thing will happen to wipe us all out. When you look at the state of the world around us can you really disagree?The JourneyI invite you to join us as we look at what it would take to make the journey to Mars.
