🧵 Fuck Mars

Anonymous No. 16206216

Honestly, fuck this planet. Why would anyone want to go here? Why are people deluded enough to think that we could ever live or establish a colony on this dusty rock?

Nothing but rocks and sand, I hope you can make everything you need out of metal, ceramic and glass and don't need silly frivolities like rubber or plastic to, for example, insulate electrical wires. No you can't just shit in the dead martian dust and grow potatoes, that's bullshit, you need a functioning biosphere to grow plants, and even if you could grow something the cosmic radiation will fuck them up because of Mars' piss weak magnetic.

We'd need Star Trek levels of replicator technology to live on Mars. If you have sufficient technology to live on Mars you have sufficient technology to live indefinitely in space, or on Earth itself after fucking it up.

Something else a lot of people don't realize is that Mars is only about twice the size of the moon. That's the primary reason it doesn't have (basically doesn't have) an atmosphere. The second reason is that it's got no magnetic field so enjoy your space radiation.

there are processes to convert co2 (95% of mars' atmosphere) into methane by basically sticking it in a high pressure high temperature oven together with hydrogen. you could probably get most useful forms of plastics and silicone out of that if you really wanted to.
setting up the kind of off-planet self sustaining industry for all of the manufacturing steps in that chain seems really not worth it though, since mars is and always will be a cold dead rock with a dwindling atmosphere and no magnetic field. it's just a shittier moon that's further away, harder to land on and take off from, and the only redeeming quality is its thin co2 atmosphere for making hydrocarbons in-situ.

not at all
all you need is hydroponics, water recycling and a trickle of nitric acid (because of denitrifying bacteria)

>silly frivolities like rubber
rubber can be made from dandelion or synthetically
there are two reasons why nobody is growing dandelions for rubber commercially right now
1) rubber trees grow in tropics and labour cost is pennies on the dollar there
2) dandelion roots are fragile and unsuitable for soil farming, so you need to use hydroponics (which you need on Mars anyway)

Besides Earth it is the only place in the Solar system where the following 3 things all apply:
- it has a gravity gradient
- its surface is rocky. With that I mean silicate rocky, not mostly water-ice.
- it has a significant atmosphere
Because of that, metallurgy and steelmaking are only viable there, just like industry in general.
* for most tasks like steelmaking, you need a gravity gradient. You can't cast iron in 0G
* you can't mine for ores on a place where the surface is to a significant degree just water ice.
* you need an atmosphere so the heat from the foundries and factories can be dumped into it. Everywhere else (besides Titan), having a foundry implies endless radiator fields to get rid of the waste heat. You don't need that on Mars.

Mars looks like it takes about twice the delta v to land on than landing on the Moon. Getting fuel out of Earth's gravity well is expensive so 2X is significant but not show stopping. Basically one trip to Mars equals two trips to the Moon for equal mass. Equal mass wouldn't be the case if it is a manned mission since life supplies for humans would be greater on the longer trip to and from Mars. Still, compared to the mass of fuel and the ship, it's not all that much.
Finding a way to produce fuel on the Moon would be amazing but I've yet to see anything really solid in that regard, just theories.

sigh... do I have to explain everything to you? I said to SHOW YOUR MATH. Does that post have any math in it? NO.
>Certain altitudes of venus are pretty earth like
Never disputed that, HOWEVER, these are not the best altitudes for harvesting clouds. Peak cloud mass loading as measured by the Pioneer Venus Large Probe occurs at about 50 km and temperature's 77 C. That's a bit warm. Mass loading data from here:
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/176GM06
Peak mass loading is about 90 mg/m^3 at 50 km and that's pretty much 100% sulfuric acid. This translate to droplet about 2 mm in diameter. Starship booster and all needs something like 4600 tons of methane. This means you need about 1160 tons of hydrogen. And hydrogen's 2.1% of the mass of H2SO4. So you need 1160 tons/0.021= 56,434 tons of sulfuric acid. Which means you need to process a volume of atmosphere equal to 56,434 tons /90 mg/m^3= 6.27e11 m^3
density at this altitude's about 1.6 kg/m^3, so assuming we refill starship in one earth year we need a mass flow rate through whatever's filtering cloud out of the atmosphere of:
(1.6 kg * ((56 434 000 kg) / (90 mg))) / (1 year) =31,792 kg/s
or a volumetric flow rate of 19868.8554 (m^3) / second
In comparison, a GE90 turbofan at take off has a mass flow rate of 1350 kg/s. So you need a mass flow rate roughly equal to 23.5 GE90s. Sucking clouds through a filter or cyclonic separator could work, but you need a lot of power. So one option is to take advantage of different wind speeds at different altitudes to pull a filter through the air

The world highest kite was flown to about 4.9 km. The difference in mean wind speed from the Venus International Reference Atmosphere between 50 km and 55 km is like 6.2 m/s
we need a surface area of 19868.8554 (m^3) / second / 6.2 m/s =3204.65 m^2. Which means we need a sail or filter of some sort of 61 m in diameter. Which is sort of comparable to the wing span of a 747. I'll admit this isn't too insane. In fact, fishing supertrawler drag nets that are 200 meters across. This does assume you can collect 100% of cloud particles that pass through the filter. In reality, this isn't likely to be the case. The other problem is that your 'cloud trawler' needs to overcome a ~3.4 m/s wind that's pushing it to the poles. Counteracting this is nontrivial.

the better place to do stuff like that is Venus, by FAR - last time i did back-of-the-napkin calculations for it it seemed like Venus has substantially more carbon in its atmosphere alone than Earth does from all known carbon reservoirs, including carbonate minerals, which was staggering to me. Venus also comes with a local source of hydrogen in the form of sulfuric acid clouds. and ample solar flux for power. and readily available sources of the pressures/temperatures needed for the Bosch/Sabatier reactions.

the Bosch reaction is probably ideal here if you wanted to terraform Venus by reducing its greenhouse effect - it generates solid carbon from CO2 and uses 1/3 less hydrogen gas. you could just dump the carbon back down to the surface (from your breathable atmosphere floating balloon outpost) if you wanted, the supercritical CO2 down there would keep the oxygen waste product higher in the atmosphere (seriously, there'd be way more of it than could be consumed by breathing), preventing a back-reaction.

i suppose there's the possibility of carbothermal reduction of oxyanion and oxide minerals at the temperatures and pressures at the surface, but for sulfates that would actually help to cool the atmosphere by dredging up more SO2 into it, which in turn would accelerate the generation of sulfuric acid clouds for hydrogen sourcing for your Bosch/Sabatier reactions. oh, and your balloon colony would be floating at about 50-55km from the surface, right near the cloud layer, so you're quite close to your hydrogen source already.

Venus is so much better than Mars.

Anonymous No. 16235685

>>16235657
also, forgot to mention - the Bosch reaction allows you to reuse all of the hydrogen you collect. the net reaction is just CO2 splitting if you electrolyze the water. sequestering hydrogen in plastics via methane-based plastic manufacture is probably not a good idea long term, using it as rocket fuel is even worse (you're losing most of it permanently with every lauch). you're going to want materials with a very high carbon predominance if you can help it. luckily... that makes for some damn good materials.

people often forget the Bosch reaction exists because methane is commonly produced industrially, and you can just mine for carbon, but in a hydrogen constrained environment like Venus, making highly hydrogenated hydrocarbons is also constrained.

taking advantage of that differential requires heat exchange infrastructure that's kilometers long - i suppose it's not impossible in theory, once you've gotten local manufacturing going, but getting that going is going to have to start with solar. and you're still likely to do both regardless. and you're gonna have a hell of a time not losing the heat to leakage on that kilometers-long journey up through the Venusian atmosphere before it can power whatever Carnot cycle generator you're using.

solar also provides a potential solution to the day/night issue in the form of large shades covered in solar panels and using slightly less dense lifting gasses to be held above the balloon dwellings. a shade with n openings for a radial, equidistant arrangement of n balloon dwellings would only need to rotate fully once every n Earth days if the balloon dwellings were given enough space between them. the need to adjust for solar angle would be basically nonexistent - you'd be getting ideal angles for solar panel operation at all times if you set things up right.

Sure, if you have a method of moving such a huge load then go ahead.
However, I don't really see the point.
Mars has 10% the mass of Earth, and Ceres only has like 0.01% of the mass of Earth.
Best case scenario, the impact restarts Mar's core and the conditions shift very slightly closer to those of Earth.
In fact, I'm fairly certain that even if you took all the sub-earth celestial bodies in the solar system (excluding Venus) and smashed them all together you'd only get something with around 20% of Earth's mass.
While I'm not sure how much mass you actually need to hold a substantial atmosphere, given that Venus is roughly 80% Earth's size and has a pretty robust one I say we use that as our benchmark.
So yeah - unless you somehow cannibalize the larger rocky planets like Neptune and Uranus on a massive scale - we're a little short on materials.

the point is you can get some pretty energetic fuels without hydrogen (thank you, stupidly high stabilities of the dinitrogen triple bond + carbon-oxygen double bond, and your gaseous products). yes, it'll never have SI as good as a hydrogenated fuel, but there's so much energy available at Venus and so much fuel feedstock just floatin' around everywhere, lack of hydrogen doesn't strike me as a rocket fuel dealbreaker. you're gonna want to keep your hydrogen in closed loop systems as much as you can in a place like Venus - i imagine it would look a lot like what we sometimes do with helium

Chris McKay estimates 100,000 years for a simple approach to reach a breathable atmosphere, Zubrin estimates it could be accomplished as quickly as 900 years in an "optimistic scenario", more complex approach, with mega-engineering (aka Star Trek fantasy bullshit) such as giant space mirrors to reflect more sunlight to Mars.
There is the danger of all the CO2 getting turned into limestone or other forms of calcite or similar minerals, and is permanently removed from the atmosphere and is extremely hard to release again, we don't even know how early Mars lost its atmosphere. Or a micro-organism or higher organism evolves on our transformed Mars which is either hazardous to humans, a disease or an allergen, or damaging to our crops or animals. Because of the lower gravity it needs about 3 times as much mass for the same atmospheric pressure, similarly needs three times the mass of oxygen per square meter for a breathable atmosphere, this might also cause issues for humans if they live there permanently.
Mars is further from the sun - so we just get about half the light we get here on Earth. It has also no continental drift, so long term it may lose all its atmosphere - on Earth the atmosphere is maintained long term by volcanic eruptions - which is also probably the main thing that got Earth out of its ice phases.
The planet has much less nitrogen than Earth, which is important in our atmosphere as a buffer (77% of the atmosphere), as well as needed by many plants. A CO2 atmosphere with no buffer is poisonous for humans even when it has enough oxygen to breathe. An almost pure oxygen atmosphere (as in spacesuits) is breathable, but hard to achieve biologically, is also flammable, and you get oxygen toxicity on long timescales for humans. Some compromise might work, using smaller amounts of nitrogen than for Earth, but this is not certain.
Humanity will die on this planet.

You know that's basically entirely doable by planetary systems modeling, right? The basic chemistries necessary don't require on-location experimental research, we can test them in any laboratory. The only part of terraforming 'research' that might necessitate on-location infrastructure is prospecting, and even then you can use probes.

Besides, the actual best place for a test run is Venus - it's substantially out of thermal equilibrium already, providing an energetically favorable path towards modification to more livable temperatures (that's why solar shades alone would cause such a massive effect). The lack of hydrogen and magnetic field are the biggest problems, but they're both possible to remedy even in worst-case scenarios for local resource availability (i.e. assuming zero remaining mineral hydrates, including hydroxylated minerals).

Well the most compelling reason to have colonies in space beyond research would be extracting elements that are rare in earths crust and dropping them to earth. A lot of shit would be harder in space, but all you need is the ability to purify whatever you are mining enough so it is economic to ship, likely with electrolysis since nuclear power and solar energy is super easy to do in space. Speaking of this, launch costs will likely stay expensive, so if manufacturing solar panels in space proves to be cheaper per kilogram of panel than launching them from earth, asteroid mining could support orbital solar power which is pretty neat.

Whatever tech we use needing gravity, would be obsolete in 0G and likely greatly handicapped on an asteroid with like 0.02% Earth gravity.
Of course, we can develop tech that does not rely on significant gravity. But that is an additional demand that has just been introduced, instead of posing no additional demands like with the Martian option.
>About heat you can use water, abundant for example on ceres.
Good answer. Ceres could of course also be a good location for industry. But I don't think it will ever attract a human settler, unlike Mars could. Reasons are as pseudo-trivial as Mars offering sunrises and a bright sky, while with Ceres there is no perceptual difference from just inhabiting open space (besides grav).
>For the record mars atmosphere at such low pressure isn't that great either, radiators would need to be large anyway if you want to use that.
As the head honcho says, the best part is no part. Early industry will profit greatly from one giant headache (heat) being downgraded to a small headache or even just minor consideration, like the aid of 1% atmosphere does.

>>16242321
Non-local resource extraction is a very involved process. At the minimum at the start of space colonization, all the resources will be extracted locally. Waiting for asteroid mining is a fool's errand when you could just start a low-tech iron mine (pressurized as well, so you don't even need to have some spacesuit. You can LARP like it's 1899 as a miner with a pickaxe) on Mars.
