In the first half, microbiologist and former bio-analyst Richard Anderson discussed the evolution of life, and how humans might colonize space. For life to evolve as far as it has on this planet, it needs a long, stable environment. And we've had that here on the Earth for several billion years in spite of various catastrophes and mass extinctions, he said, adding that many other planets may have far more volatile existences. He highlighted Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere as crucial for sustaining life, contrasting this with other planets like Mars and Venus. While the conditions for life likely existed on many planets and moons, if "you have a supernova or some event like that, there's going to be a burst of radiation that probably will sterilize any life within 100 light-years or so, so that's another factor that could snuff life out after it has started," he noted.The conversation also explored the concept of rotating cylinders in space, which he termed "islands in the void," designed to create Earth-like environments for long-term human habitation. These structures would address challenges like gravity, health, and ecological balance. Additionally, he touched on the potential of the asteroid belt for resource extraction and the practicality of space-based manufacturing, underscoring the need for infrastructure in space to support future space colonization. After we've developed a presence in space, it could be practical to start a colony on Mars, he suggested. He proposed this possibility in his novel, Outbound, which explores using technology to increase the gravity on the Red Planet to be similar to Earth, and then creating orchards and small lakes in the Valles Marineris canyon system.------------In the latter half, Larry Arnold, who has a mechanical and electrical engineering background, delved into the enigmatic phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion (SHC), a topic he has researched for over 50 years. He explained that SHC is characterized by the near-complete incineration of a human body without an identifiable external ignition source. Arnold emphasized the unusualness of SHC, stating, "This is blessedly a very rare phenomenon," with some years seeing no cases at all. He noted that while mainstream science largely dismisses SHC, there are credible accounts from first responders who have witnessed these bizarre events. "These cases are beyond anything that they have been trained to encounter," he remarked.He recounted specific cases, including the tragic story of Mary Hardy Reeser, who was found in St. Petersburg, FL in 1951 reduced to ashes in her chair without external ignition sources and with minimal damage to her surroundings. The death of Dr. John Irving Bentley in 1966 is "probably the best-known case of classic sudden human cremation based on the photographs that have appeared in print," Arnold commented. "Dr. Bentley burnt himself through a hole on the floor in his bathroom...leaving behind a head resting on water pipes below the floor," he said. In the 1970s, Arnold discovered a "Pennsylvania Triangle," a 27-square-mile area with five thermal anomalies where water freezes out of season, which he linked to Dr. Bentley's incineration and UFO sightings. He also touched on his submarine archaeology off the coast of Bimini, finding an underwater block of stacked rocks in the Bermuda Triangle (1977).

249R_Space colonization: A study of supply and demand (research summary)

What is The Future for Cities?

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 26, 2024 9:43

Are you interested in space colonisation? Summary of the article titled Space colonization: A study of supply and demand from 2011 by Dr. Dana Andrews, Gordon R. Woodcock, and Brian Bloudek, presented at the 62nd International Astronautical Congress. This is a great preparation to our next panel conversation with Dr Anders Sandberg, Xavier de Kestelier, and Thomas Gooch in episode 250 talking about space cities and their different aspects. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how space colonization and thus space cities can be approached from the supply and demand perspective. This article looks at the fundamental economics of people working (and playing) in space, and shows scenarios that should result in successful colonies on the moon. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: The development of lunar colonies is a natural progression, beginning with tele-operated mining and evolving into human presence as the need for maintenance and oversight grows. Lunar mining offers a solution to Earth's dwindling metal resources, with the Moon's vast reserves becoming economically viable as terrestrial supplies run low. Achieving affordable space access through reusable launch systems and infrastructure like Tether Upper Stages (TUS) and Space Operations Centers (SOC) is crucial for successful lunar operations. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: This paper steps back and looks at the fundamental economics of people working (and playing) in space, and shows scenarios that should result in successful colonies on the moon. The basic premise is the ever increasing cost of industrial metals necessary to generate renewable energy for a growing world population, and the relative abundance of those same metals on the near side of the moon. There is a crossover point, relatively soon, where it is cheaper and more environmentally friendly to mine the moon instead of the increasingly poor ores remaining on earth. At that point government and industry can form a partnership much like The Railroad Act of 1862 to incentivise construction of the transportation infrastructure and lunar mining equipment. The economics say the initial mining equipment will be tele-operated from earth, but over time the requirement for human maintenance and repair seems inescapable. We foresee a government presence on the moon almost from the start of the prospector phase to enhance safety and insure law and order, and those initial bases will eventually grow into towns and colonies.

On Tuesday's show: While today is Election Day in Greater Houston and across the state, it's also the last day of the third special session of the Texas Legislature. We discuss what was accomplished (and mostly what wasn't) with David Goodman, the Houston bureau chief for The New York Times.

Christopher Wanjek's journey to publishing his book, entitled Spacefarers: How Humans Will Settle the Moon, Mars, and Beyond, began when Harvard University offered him the opportunity to write on any topic for a book series. As a senior writer at NASA for ten years, Christopher Wanjek looked forward to writing on topics that he was already familiar with: the big bang, black holes, and gravitational waves. However, he quickly found that all his topics of expertise were already taken and decided to turn his eyes on a slightly different topic: space colonization. Feeling at Home in Outer Space Most astrophysicists believe that space colonization is so complicated, tedious, and difficult, it isn't worth discussing yet. We just aren't at that point where we can think of going to space. However, Christopher Wanjek's book doesn't explore the nitty-gritty mechanics or quantum physics behind humans conquering the moon and stars. Instead, he gives us the opportunity to view the space race and the growing space industry in a different light. The main question he works to answer in his book is: why would we go to space, and then stay up there? Christopher Wanjek likened our current perspective of living in space to living on Mount Everest. While the most seasoned mountain climbers dream of eventually reaching the summit, nobody lives on the summit itself because it's not practical. So are there any economic and emotional motivations for people on the ground, like you and I, to reach and settle on the moon? Space Colonization: the Process Alexander McCaig explained that according to Christopher Wanjek's book, there are three main reasons humans support space exploration. We either want to go to space because we have religious reasons, economic reasons, or for war—like in the space race. Of the three, war is the easiest reason humans can resonate with. It has already happened before, between the US and Russia. And Alexander McCaig notes that getting there isn't the big thing—it's the process of developing the technology that we need to get to the end goal that counts. Christopher Wanjek gave a comprehensive logical process for making space settlements a reality. First, the involvement of tech moguls like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk is a great first step because it generates interest, and eventually a market, for people to go into space. While this journey is only accessible to the super wealthy, continued hype for this venture could see more people go into space as prices are lowered and it becomes more accessible. Here, the space tourism industry takes its first steps. The next step is to have people in lower earth orbit, like the International Space Station. Their participation in the market can be valuable because their presence generates competition. This competition serves as an incentive for players in the market to innovate and make resources more affordable, which would in turn stimulate the space industry overall. What's the Point of Outer Space? Now that we have clear and tangible steps that we can take to make space colonization a reality, the next question is: how can we incentivize humanity to support it? Christopher Wanjek shared that in his experience, many people doubted the urgency of exploring space. After all, humanity already has tons of problems on earth, so why shouldn't we just focus on our own planet first? He pointed out that this is a common misunderstanding because everything developed for the space industry has helped earth. For example, communication satellites help broadcast television signals around the world. Weather satellites allow us to predict future weather patterns. In the future, space holds even more in store for us earthlings. Since there's uranium on the moon, we could develop the technology and infrastructure to build nuclear power plants. The moon also doesn't have any dust clouds, so we could find a way to harness solar energy and then transport it to earth. Of course, the timeline for this venture will probably span decades. If the ice race to Antarctica took a ton of manpower, imagine how much more it would take for us to be comfortable in space. Closing Thoughts Despite our technologies developing at an unprecedented pace, space colonization may still be decades or even centuries away. This is an intergenerational effort that will take plenty of collaboration from humanity as a collective. Most of us have never really thought about the implications of settling down away from earth. Like climbing Mount Everest, it just sounded like a cool activity to check off the bucket list. Christopher Wanjek's research has given us so much meaningful insight into the tangible effects of expanding outside our little blue and green globe.

Franco Cortese from the Biogerontology Research Foundation, London, UK, details a review he co-authored that was published by Oncotarget in Volume 9, Issue 18, entitled, “Vive la radiorésistance!: converging research in radiobiology and biogerontology to enhance human radioresistance for deep space exploration and colonization.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.24461 Correspondence to - Ivan V. Ozerov - ivan@insilicomedicine.com, Morten Scheibye-Knudsen - mscheibye@sund.ku.dk, and Alex Zhavoronkov - alex@insilico.com Abstract While many efforts have been made to pave the way toward human space colonization, little consideration has been given to the methods of protecting spacefarers against harsh cosmic and local radioactive environments and the high costs associated with protection from the deleterious physiological effects of exposure to high-Linear energy transfer (high-LET) radiation. Herein, we lay the foundations of a roadmap toward enhancing human radioresistance for the purposes of deep space colonization and exploration. We outline future research directions toward the goal of enhancing human radioresistance, including upregulation of endogenous repair and radioprotective mechanisms, possible leeways into gene therapy in order to enhance radioresistance via the translation of exogenous and engineered DNA repair and radioprotective mechanisms, the substitution of organic molecules with fortified isoforms, and methods of slowing metabolic activity while preserving cognitive function. We conclude by presenting the known associations between radioresistance and longevity, and articulating the position that enhancing human radioresistance is likely to extend the healthspan of human spacefarers as well.

The discovery of the New World irrevocably changed the economy of the Old World. Triangle trade, manufactured goods went from Britain to the Americas, which sent food staples to the Indies, which sent cash crops back to England. It also caused investment dollars to flood into exploration ventures. As far back as the 1500s, tracts of land were sold in Kentucky through British crown land patents, helping fund the Virginia Colony of London, which set up Jamestown. Most importantly, it gave Europe a terra nova where the old social hierarchies no longer mattered. New forms of egalitarianism developed.With the development of cheaper rocketry by Elon Musk and others, something similar is going to happen very soon. Today's guest, astronautical engineer Robert Zubrin, spells out the potential of these new in a way that is visionary yet grounded by a deep understanding of the practical challenges. A new Triangle Trade will be development between Earth, Mars, and the asteroid belt. Investment dollars will flood into speculative ventures such as asteroid mining. And all sorts of new human societies will be possible.Fueled by the combined expertise of the old aerospace industry and the talents of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, spaceflight is becoming cheaper. The new generation of space explorers has already achieved a major breakthrough by creating reusable rockets. Zubrin foresees more rapid innovation, including global travel from any point on Earth to another in an hour or less; orbital hotels; moon bases with incredible space observatories; human settlements on Mars, the asteroids, and the moons of the outer planets; and then, breaking all limits, pushing onward to the stars.Zubrin shows how projects that sound like science fiction can actually become reality. But beyond the how, he makes an even more compelling case for why we need to do this—to increase our knowledge of the universe, to make unforeseen discoveries on new frontiers, to harness the natural resources of other planets, to safeguard Earth from stray asteroids, to ensure the future of humanity by expanding beyond its home base, and to protect us from being catastrophically set against each other by the false belief that there isn't enough for all.

Charlie Jane Anders’ The City in the Middle of the Night (Tor Books, 2019) is a coming of age story about Sophie, a young woman trying to forge her identity on a planet of rigid social classes, harsh climate and frightening aliens. Feeling hopelessly out of place, Sophie ventures where no human has gone before: into the half of the planet that's shrouded in perpetual night. There she befriends the native inhabitants, the Gelet; they’re fearsome tentacled creatures whom humans fear and hunt but who turn out to be sensitive, sentient, and able to communicate with Sophie through touch. Ultimately, Sophie comes to recognize that the Gelet “belong on this planet … in a way that humans don't,” Anders says. Anders, whose previous work has earned Hugo, Nebula, William H. Crawford, Theodore Sturgeon, Locus and Lambda Literary awards, is an advocate for the power of science fiction to help humans prepare for the future. “You can explore a lot of scenarios in science fiction that help people develop flexibility and hope and resilience and an awareness of the value of cooperation,” Anders says. Anders wrote The City in the Middle of the Night the old-fashioned way: in journals longhand. “I find it freeing in some ways because you can't go back and edit as much, and you just have to get stuff down. When you type it all up, that's the time when you start thinking about changing it, moving stuff around.” Rob Wolf is the author of The Alternate Universe and The Escape. Follow him on Twitter.

This week: Science Fiction Übermenschen & A Critique of Space Colonization with film scholar Barry Vacker, a professor at Temple University in Philadelphia. We talk about the critique of contemporary science fiction cinema in his new book, Specter of the Monolith – pointing past the spiritual shortcomings of our relationship to space, and toward a future human being that has both grown in both technology and wisdom.Barry's Essays:http://medium.com/@barryvacker Subscribe:Apple Podcasts • Stitcher • Spotify • iHeart RadioJoin our Facebook Discussion Group!We Discuss:• How contemporary science fiction (including Blade Runner 2049) fails to live up to the promise of 2001: A Space Odyssey and articulate a transcendent vision for the future of humanity.• The role of the machine in a complete science fiction spirituality.• The different “übermenschen” presented in 2001, Altered States, Lawnmower Man, and Watchmen.• How Ancient Aliens hijacked the 2001 narrative about extraterrestrial involvement in human evolution.• How superheroes replaced gods in secular society after Nietzsche declared us the victors of the “Humans vs. God” match.• The role of the Cold War in cementing the different future visions of the United States and Russia/China.• The danger of looking to charismatic leaders of industry like Elon Musk for moral guidance in how we should enter space (specifically, extractive capitalism as the model for space migration).• The possibility and importance of preserving the Moon and Mars wilderness protection areas• …or is it our moral responsibility to spread life throughout the cosmos?• Barry’s critique of Interstellar as a film for “spore bearing” humans as opposed to “space faring” humans• Will it take an economic transition to prepare us for ethical space migration? Or a philosophical transition? Or are those not even different things?• The cultural importance of stargazing and astronomy – the sublime as the meeting place of the infinite and the infinitesimal – where awe, terror, and transcendence join without getting deities involved• The necessity for the human species to have “an explosion of awareness” – non mystically, non religiously• Space tourism: net good, or net evil? Can we reproduce the experience with VR?• Can we (or SHOULD we) baptise extraterrestrials? (Short answer: not without their informed consent?)• Colonialist and anticolonialist narratives in Avatar• Is our lack of rites of passage the reason we see a vastly disproportionate representation of “adulto-lescent” sci fi narratives?• Is Blade Runner 2049 a feminist film? Even though it fails the Bechdel test?Barry Quotes:“The superhero has emerged to make us feel like we’re still worth saving, to give us a moment of salvation at the movie theater – because when we walk out, we realize our political figures have no answers.”“2001 [is] seen as the prototypical Greatest Space Film Ever, but if you pay close attention, it’s showing a vision of space TOURISM. But when they show you the Moon, they’re not pillaging it. They’re not strip mining it. I think it’s completely ludicrous to think that we should be strip mining the Moon.”“The idea that we should be terraforming Mars in Earth’s own image…I mean, how narcissistic can you get?”“It’s time to give up these tired narratives of deities and industrial exploitation and move towards a scientific and artistic appreciation of these planets. And I don’t see that anywhere on the horizon. Very few people are questioning these tribal narratives.”“In Ridley Scott’s The Martian, there’s very little appreciation of the actual beauty of the PLANET, and in fact, Matt Damon says, ‘F Mars. I’m going to conquer this place.’ And we never see him looking at the dark skies. He would be the single human who would have had the greatest view of the skies EVER. And we don’t see any of that in The Martian. All we see is, ‘How can we transform the world’s resources into surviving?’ And that makes The Martian a very smart film, but it has a poverty of the imagination.”“I’m opposed to the propagation of human stupidity in the cosmos, nearby or faraway. I’m not opposed to us going to Mars or the Moon…but we should go as an enlightened species. We should go as space-farers, not merely spore-bearers. If we don’t alter this narrative, we know what we’re going to have: it’ll be literally ‘X Games: Moon.’ ‘The Real Housewives of Mars.’”“There’s something to be said for facing the universe as it is as best we can. Acknowledging our limitations and our humility, but also our aspirations to be more enlightened and more aware of and sensitive to our origins and our destiny, whatever it might be.”“In the quest for our meaning in the massive universe, we’ll find our destiny.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Brian Wang joins Phil and Stephen to talk about building relatively low-cost human settlements in low earth orbit. Spacex will begin deploying low cost mass produced internet satellites starting in 2019 SpaceX said it plans to launch thousands of satellites on Falcon 9 rockets beginning in 2019 to establish what would one day become a global broadband internet constellation. Towards an Economically Viable roadmap to large scale space colonization Al Globus and Joe Strout have an analysis that space settlements in low (~500 km) Earth equatorial orbits may not require any radiation shielding at all. This is based on a careful analysis of requirements and extensive simulation of radiation effects. This radically reduces system mass and has profound implications for space settlement, as extraterrestrial mining and manufacturing are no longer on the critical path to the first settlements, although they will be essential in later stages. It also means the first settlements can evolve from space stations, hotels, and retirement communities in relatively small steps. Why does settling space become more affordable in low earth orbit? How can we continue to drive the costs down? Tune in and explore! WT 304-613
