Speaker 1
Atmosphere, you need at least ten % f of our atmosphere of oxygen
Speaker 2
ut like, just like a good restaurant, you know, like you're never going to succeed as a restaurant unless you have some atmosphere. You got otlets, like averites as that whole sort of a, we have a lot of things on the wall vibe. And the cheesecake factory has that whole vibe, like a, you know, you're sitting on i in a nice banquette an, the menu's 72 pages long. Like, you got to have some kind of atmosphere, some kind of vibe that works. And mars ain't got it. Just
Speaker 1
to be clear, when i say a ten % of the atmosphere, i'm not saying ten % of the oxygen we're beathing now, but ten % of the unit of measurement of an atmosphere? Are we
Speaker 2
still talking about whether applebes has a good vibe, or are we talking about whether we can live on mars, which is arelic? This is all irrelevant, like, it's not like where it's thot, like we're superclose to being able to have create an atmosphere around mars that has all
Speaker 1
of the oxygen that wereas. We got not a number of challenges. We are not in the neighborhood like, so when you say, like, oh, i don't think we could ever genetically engineer hu beings did not need oxygen, like, mean, either. But we're not, we're not in the other neighborhood, likewe're not in the neighborhood of terra forming mars, or in the neighborhood of of anty wither engineering humans. Now, you you could imagine a mars on which there is, you know, a little more atmospheric pressure, and you walk around with a breather instead of walking around in a whole suit, and that would be better. Abut the idea, like, the terraforming, terr forming mars project requires a, ah, a outlook that is not on a human like, lifetime scale. You have to be thinking about the human experiment scale, where there have been humans for 200 thousand years. On the scale of 200 thousand years, if we have 200 thousand years to terraform mars, we could probably do it. But that's what we're looking at like, like it's going to be a thousands of years long process, if, if we decide to terraform a planet, i think, but i, no, maybe i'm wrong. Maybe there's a way to do it that, you know, is based on technology that we don't really understand yet. But what are you saying, john saying that if we're taking a 200 thousand year at him horizon,
Speaker 2
then i think nadge's question is completely legitie, like
Speaker 1
nadge, we don't know which of these things that we cannot do, and that will take many thousands of years to even consider doing in any serious way, is better. Like, we don't know.
