What
will the future Mars settlers need to take with them? Will they have to
take all the oxygen, water and food they need for 2 years? And materials
and tools for building a base?
Or
will human settlers need to take nothing with them because robots will have
prepared everything before they arrive? Will the settlers simply step
into a luxury base with all the food and oxygen already available?
What
is needed for a human to survive on Mars? And what is needed to thrive
once you get there? Do we know exactly what will be needed? Will
the robots we send before us be able to tell us just what we will need?
What will the ‘technology tree’ of a Mars settlement be?
Come
to GeekSpeak at noon on Saturday to discuss what we will need on Mars.
Serious people only.
