[00:01.55] Lesson 35
[00:03.49] Space odyssey
[00:12.30] When will it be possible for us to think seriously about colonising Mars?
[00:19.69] The Moon is likely to become the industrial hub of the Solar System supplying the rocket fuels for its ships,
[00:27.91] easily obtainable from the lunar rocks in the form of liquid oxygen.
[00:33.59] The reason lies in its gravity.
[00:36.49] Because the Moon has only an eightieth of the Earth's mass,
[00:40.86] it requires 97% less energy
[00:44.05] to travel the quarter of a million miles from the Moon to Earth-orbit than the 200 mile-journey from Earth's surface into orbit!
[00:53.22] This may sound fantastic, but it is easily calculated.
[00:58.20] To escape from the Earth in a rocket, one must travel at seven miles per second.
[01:04.38] The comparable speed from the Moon is only 1.5 miles per second.
[01:10.68] Because the gravity on the Moon's surface is only a sixth of Earth's (remember how easily the Apollo astronauts bounded along),
[01:19.48] it takes much less energy to accelerate to that 1.5mps than it does on Earth.
[01:27.36] Moon dwellers will be able to fly in space at only three percent of the cost of similar journeys by their terrestrial cousins.
[01:36.69] Arthur C.Clark once suggested a revolutionary idea passes through three phases:
[01:43.13] 1. 'It's impossible--don't waste my time.'
[01:47.69] 2. 'It's possible, but not worth doing.'
[01:53.00] 3. 'I said it was a good idea all along.'
[01:58.78] The idea of colonising Mars--a world 160 times more distant than the Moon--will move decisively from the second phase to the third,
[02:09.19] when a significant number of people are living permanently in space.
[02:14.41] Mars has an extraordinary fascination for would-be voyagers.
[02:19.02] America, Russia and Europe are filled with enthusiasts--many of them serious and senior scientists who dream of sending people to it.
[02:30.55] Their aim is understandable.
[02:33.94] It is the one world in the Solar System that is most like the Earth.
[02:38.93] It is a world of red sandy deserts (hence its name--the Red Planet),
[02:45.03] cloudless skies, savage sandstorms, chasms wider than the Grand Canyon and at least one mountain more than twice as tall as Everest.
[02:56.38] It seems ideal for settlement.
