  • Sumário

  • Settle the Solar System explains, in detail, the frontier-enabling technology and techniques necessary for the permanent settlement of the Moon and throughout the Solar system. If you’re interested in space and want to know how we’re going to live there, then this is the show for you. You don’t have to have advanced degrees to enjoy the show. While the show has a lot of detail, everything is explained. Ben Smith, founder and lead researcher of Lunar Homestead, is your host at Settle the Solar System. Lunar Homestead is researching the tech that will enable anyone to permanently settle on the Moon or anywhere in the Solar system. You can learn more about Lunar, and space, settlement and Lunar Homesteading at https://lunarhomestead.com. Or drop me a line at ben@lunarhomestead.com if you have any questions. Who knows, I might just answer your question in the next show! Weekly show topics include: • The tech needed for permanent settlement • The science behind the tech • Adapting Lunar Homesteading tech for use on Mars and other locations • Interviews with experts working on specific settlement tech (infrequently) • Answers to listener questions (send me an email and ask a question!). New episodes are released every Thursday at 2am Pacific time. That way listeners on the East coast can get their space fix while they start their day. Bonus episodes covering the current Lunar Homestead research, the Lunar Homestead concept, why settle the Moon, and other topics are also frequently released. The goals for each episode are for you to leave: • More knowledgeable about space settlement technology and space science • More excited about the possibility of a future with thousands of unique settlements scattered throughout the Solar system • More inspired to take action and become an active participant in this Grand Adventure. Settle the Solar System is free and can be found on popular podcast apps such as: • Apple Podcasts • Spotify • Google Podcasts • Amazon Music. Or you can directly access through the RSS feed - https://feeds.captivate.fm/settle-the-solar-system/. We’ve got a short window to become a solar species and we’re going to need people like you to make it happen. So, let’s get started. This is Settle the Solar System.

  • One Standard Lunar Homestead Atmosphere

    One Standard Lunar Homestead Atmosphere
    Jan 5 2023

    Hi and welcome to Settle the Solar System, a Lunar Homestead podcast.

    This episode goes over the One Standard Lunar Homestead Atmosphere and how I got to it. The most critical feature of a Lunar Homestead (and any Homestead) pressure hull is that it safely and effectively contains the atmosphere of the habitat. Pretty obvious, right? So, let’s determine exactly what atmospheric pressure and composition our Homesteaders need.

    Segments
    • [00:00] - Intro
    • [01:10] - One Standard Atmosphere
    • [04:29] - 100% oxygen atmosphere
    • [08:42] - Other buffer gases
    • [12:22] - Skylab atmosphere
    • [14:08] - Newsletter reminder
    • [14:47] - Fire risk
    • [14:47] - One Standard Lunar Homestead Atmosphere
    • [17:39] - Needed research
    • [20:50] - Listener Question - When will the average person live on the Moon?
    • [24:22] - Outro

    Key points
    • A 100% oxygen atmosphere isn't going to work.
    • Homesteaders will need a breathing gas that is mostly nitrogen, just like on Earth.
    • The One Standard Lunar Homestead Atmosphere is 78% nitrogen/21% oxygen at 70.11 kPa.
    • The only way we're going to see Lunar settlement in our lifetime is if we create the Frontier-Enabling Technology and Techniques needed to make it a reality. You can help Lunar Homestead do this.

  • SPORE for the rest of the Solar system

    SPORE for the rest of the Solar system
    Dec 15 2022

    Hi and welcome to Settle the Solar System, a Lunar Homestead podcast.

    This episode covers how we can use Lunar Homestead's Shielded Pressurized Resource Extraction (SPORE) concept to settle the Solar system. From Mercury to the Oort Cloud and everywhere in between.

    Segments
    • [00:00] - Intro
    • [01:01] - SPORE recap
    • [02:32] - Distance is irrelevant
    • [03:15] - Back to the Moon
    • [05:42] - Mercury
    • [07:23] - Venus
    • [08:42] - Back to Mars
    • [09:10] - Asteroid belt
    • [11:52] - Jupiter
    • [14:50] - Saturn
    • [13:48] - Newsletter reminder
    • [16:32] - Uranus
    • [18:48] - Neptune
    • [20:40] - Kuiper Belt
    • [21:17] - Oort Cloud
    • [22:00] - Orbital settlements
    • [25:03] - Needed research
    • [26:44] - Listener Question - Why are spaceships impractical for a Solar civilization?
    • [32:31] - Outro

    Key points
    • SPORE can be used anywhere we can dig underground.
    • A location with metal-oxides is preferable so Homesteaders can use the oxygen to pressurize the SPORE work area and use the metal to create the habitat pressure hulls.
    • SPORE can be modified to work with a variety of metal oxides.
    • While some locations will be more difficult than others, humanity can make a home anywhere in the Solar system.
    • Orbital settlements will be the pinnacle of space settlement tech. With them we can fill up the Solar system with life.
    • Spaceships, while cool, are not needed for a Solar civilization. All we need are orbital settlements and a little patience.

    • [12:56] - Needed research
    • [14:16] - Listener Question - Can Mars be terraformed?
    • [21:18] - Outro

    Key points
    • The Martian surface environment is just as lethal and challenging as the Moon.
    • Basalt and iron-oxides are plentiful on Mars.
    • Most of Lunar SPORE tech can be used on Mars with no modifications.
    • Terraforming Mars is a bad idea, especially with our current technology.
