b'How we wound up covering this teen romance \\n\\n

Chris was in town and at the last minute, we called together a Decipher SciFi meetup in NYC. Thanks for coming out, folks!

\\n\\n Settling Mars \\n\\n

Long and short term threats to humanity. Anthropocene. \\xa0Courage and adventure and inspiration.

\\n\\n Astronaut Quarantine \\n\\n

Frank Borman and space vomit and space diarrhea. Pre-flight and post-flight quarantine protocols.

\\n\\n Mars mission design \\n\\n

Rocket to orbit, dock with the larger ship/station, then on to Mars. Not entirely dissimilar to irl concepts. Finding\\xa0energy on other bodies in space with lesser gravity wells. Public and private space industry\\xa0partnership.

\\n\\n Timelines and propulsion \\n\\n

Around nine months to mars (maybe). Ion drives? Mundane solid rocket? Apparent weightlessness?

\\n\\n \\n\\n Robots \\n\\n

Remote Agent architecture. Robots prefabricating a Mars base before the humans arrive.

\\n\\n Weightlessness \\n\\n

Weightlessness as an environmental \\u201cstressor.\\u201d Insemination in space. Fetal and childhood physical development.

\\n\\n Video Chat \\n\\n

Light speed communication speed limitations. Using AI to simulate realtime conversation. Translucent\\xa0screens!\\xa0?\\xa0A terrible design for the user, but a good design for storytelling in film.\\xa0Also\\xa0of some utility to teachers, who can then see what students are looking at. Parallax.

\\n\\n The hardship of existing on earth \\n\\n

What would a native-born Martian human experience coming to Earth? Higher gravity. Heart enlargement. Blood pressure. Thin bones, low muscle mass.
