What could space colonization in the next few decades look like, if it ever happens? Is it possible and does it make sense to establish bases on the Moon, mine asteroids, or build a "star bridge", also known as a space elevator? These are some of the questions I will tell you about in this episode. We will talk about the limitations of rockets, high-performance materials such as carbon nanotubes, what asteroids and the Moon are made of, why helium-3 could be a strategic resource, and many more things.Timestamps:0:00 Near-Space Colonization1:04 Limitations of Rockets9:50 Space Elevator19:19 High-Performance Materials and Construction32:43 Space Mining42:40 Colonization of the Moon49:22 Helium-359:19 Lunar Base Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
