Technologies on and off Mars are part of a toolkit to cultivate independence of residents on Mars from Earth. The report suggests that NASA should match up ISRU with frontier technologies, including robotics, machine intelligence, nanotechnology, synthetic biology, 3D printing and autonomy. "Until we demonstrate that we can do that reliably on Mars using resources there, then there's no compelling foundation for extensive ISRU and pioneering there," he said. NASA has followed a strategy of " follow the water" for space exploration, Moses said.īut with respect to pioneering Mars, and defining some potential ISRU missions, the space agency should seek to "bottle the water," Moses said. "If the best that we can hope for is to get Matt Damon back to Earth alive, then we may have failed miserably in our pursuit of pioneering Mars and achieving Earth Independence," Moses said.Įxtensive ISRU application may offer a solution that allows the Mars pioneers to come back to Earth when and if they want to, he said - "not because they have to." Moses, who's based at Langley's Atmospheric Flight & Entry Systems Branch, told that the duo's ISRU-heavy plan strives to achieve Earth-independent pioneering of Mars. Clear scientific explanations make the Mars experience real and provide amazing visuals to savor and return to again and again.One small step toward Mars colonization? Living off the Red Planet via in-situ resource utilization is key to sustained settlement on Mars, a NASA report suggests. Following on the visionary success of Buzz Aldrin's Mission to Mars and the visual glory of Marc Kaufman's Mars Up Close, this companion book to the Nat Geo series shows the science behind the mission and the challenges awaiting those brave individuals.The book combines science, technology, and storytelling, offering what only National Geographic can create. Now the National Geographic Channel fast forwards years ahead with Mars, a six-part series documenting and dramatizing the next twenty-five years as humans land on and learn to live on Mars. In October 2015, NASA declared Mars "an achievable goal" that same season, Ridley Scott and Matt Damon's The Martian drew crowds into theaters, grossing over $200 million. An inspiring exploration of the establishment of humans on Mars-tying into the National Geographic television documentary series MarsThe next frontier in space exploration is Mars, the Red Planet-and human habitation of Mars isn't much farther off.
