How We Could Build a Moon Base TODAY – Space Colonization 1

Did you know that we could start building a Lunar Base today?

Thank you all for the support!

How We Could Build a Moon Base TODAY – Space Colonization 1

I think his point is less 'political' and more social / survival focused. For instance, if the earth is impacted by a large meteor which plunges it into an artificial winter for a period of time we'd have a colony which would successfully be able to avoid the side effects (both political and environmental) and they'd continue to thrive and move society forward (and maybe even help us out to some degree) while the rest of the planet recovers.

I don't get why Kurzgesagt emphasizes that much on the necessity of leaving the Earth. In a way it supports bad politics: why think about solutions for the Earth if there is a way out?

Loved it!!

Great video guys, as always. Makes me really think of The Expanse... who knows, maybe one day...

This video felt a little old fashioned. Why will the early lunar bases be 'light weight' when BFR gives every impression of being viable, and can support 50-person month long expeditions, and/or soft land a hundred tons or so of cargo?

Fantastic and inspiring work!

Lots of Problems to solve lots of hope science was solid...great work.

All the programmers watching this video must be extremely thrilled with the idea of interplanetary timezones support.

Quack!

Don’t let Markiplier see this, he’ll freak.

Agreed. Artificial gravity would need to be perfected before any long term or permanent stay on the moon. Our bodies are formed the way they are and function the way they do because of the gravity on earth.

Why not Mars? I think the lack of gravity on Moon will fuck with human development and their children in the long run... Kinda like in the Expanse with the belters.

Children will need to born/live in a centrifuge(artificial gravity) on the Moon otherwise their skeleton would not form properly in low gravity. Biological experiments strongly indicate that gravity has a major role in properly forming human bones.Unfortunately bones dynamically broken down and formed during adulthood too, so to a lesser extent this is a problem for all humans (Moon gravity coupled with regular exercise and some medications would likely work well for adults).

Great stuff, as always. Love that you snuck Weyland Yutani in there ;)

Love it!
