so let’s go piece by piece one-way
mission with people who would just we
agree to go one way and he sends
supplies in advance there’s going to set
up hab modules I’ve got an image of what
his have modules would look like I’m on
Mars I think we can put it up on the
screen let’s check it out that seems
like a really fun place to live so it’s
like 2,000 square feet for four to four
people I think it’s like I guess a
regular sized house almost in the
suburbs yeah yeah exactly okay forever
okay Reza right well until you build
another one of those so I asked Bess
what are his plans for actually making
this happen yeah let’s check it out a
very important benefit of the permanent
settlement aspect is that the size of
the of the hardware you need to land is
only slightly bigger than such such
systems as the Curiosity rover so we are
building on a on a payload mass of
roughly 3,000 kilos of useful cargo to
deserve so excluding the the landing
system itself so 3,000 kilos s that’s a
that’s a few people plus food and drink
exactly n and the Curiosity rover was
only 900 kilos but it was landing at
about 2 kilometers altitudes above the
Martian zero and we will be landing at
about minus four to make sure that we
have as much as possible benefit of the
atmosphere as much as possible time to
slow down okay so what you’re saying is
I didn’t know this in fact that the
elevation where they landed curiosity
the the air the density of the air was
relatively thin correct uh compared with
lower level lower areas since if you go
lower you can you can bring more stuff
you have you can use more air to support
your landing correct you have you lift
as you descend exactly okay and
therefore bring more stuff bring more
stuff which is very important because
every kilo you sent to Mars is very
expensive so you can maximize what you
can bring so finding a place in a low
elevation in the right latitude for for
solar and water so as far north as
possible for what about as far south as
poss
of course for the Sun you got you got
Mars in your in your office and I don’t
well you’re not getting this so so
you’re thinking of landing in a place
not too close to the poles it may be too
cold and not enough sunlight correct a
closer to the equator but not on the
equator because you think there might
not be were there or less water yeah
there’s a lot of research going on
that’s at the moment and we think this
the best place is probably between 40
and 45 degrees north latitude that’s
where New York City is we’re 41 degrees
north latitude so your day will be very
comparable to the day in New York City
