Webinar on the Development of Mars, the Asteroids, and Beyond
14 March 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm UTC
A webinar on “The Development of Mars, the Asteroids, and Beyond“, with particular focus on the perspective of Mars settlement as a fundamental baseline to the industrial development in the Solar System, namely the Asteroids Belt.
The speeches:
Jerry Stone – “Island Zero: First Steps in Space Habitat Construction”
Shaun Moss – “Settling the Solar System: the Best Destinations Beyond the Moon”
Susan Jewell – “Building the MMARSBase and Training Analog Astronauts to become future settlers on Mars and the Moon”
Dan Cottitta – “Heavy Lift Advanced Materials and Hydrogen”
Bruce Mackenzie – “Mars, gateway to the Solar System”
Isaac Arthur – “Outward Bound: Colonizing Neptune”
Shaun Moss – “Settling the Solar System: the Best Destinations Beyond the Moon”
Susan Jewell – “Building the MMARSBase and Training Analog Astronauts to become future settlers on Mars and the Moon”
Dan Cottitta – “Heavy Lift Advanced Materials and Hydrogen”

SETTLING MARS, MARS ORBIT AND BEYOND
Mars, a gateway to access the huge abundance of resources of the Asteroids Belt
Industrial settlements and logistic hub, to process/stock/deliver materials mined from asteroids
Terraforming Mars or just working, researching and exploring on its surface, living in orbital cities?
Moon, Mars, Asteroid Belt, Moons of Jupiter and beyond, a logical path to settle the Solar System

Perspectives of a Mars colony
Mars settlement as the edge of a global expansion strategy vs. a Mars-only strategy
Mars tourism
Mining Mars: water, resources and profitability
Mars energy: solar power and/or nuclear power

Health and safety of human life on Mars
Living on Mars surface vs. Mars orbit (0.376 G or 1G with artificial gravity?)
Cosmic and sun radiations on Mars surface, due to the absence of a magnetic shield
Was a martian variant of human race in a short time a desirable goal?
Surface only vs. cis-martian infrastructures: living at 1/3 G and human physiology, working on the Mars surface and living in Cis-martian O’Neill cities?
Is the O’Neill orbital cities model applicable to Mars too?
Greening Mars, food, farming, terraforming?
Exploration and Research: search for life on Mars, astronomic observation settlements,
How Mars could work as an outpost and a relay to the Asteroids Belt colonization
Industrial settlements on Mars, to process the asteroid mined materials
Mars as a communication and logistic hub, mid station between internal and External Solar System

Mars development: a possible schedule within this Century, which are the main milestones
Legal aspects
Commercial and industrial activities: the martian soil property issue;
Mars settlement and the Outer Space Treaty
Mars settlement and the Outer Space Treaty
Elon Musk and his vision of an independent Mars colony
