Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, is the world's leading space entrepreneur. Hear how Musk plans to send millions of people to colonize Mars as Michelle Fields talks to Musk about the future of space exploration, scientific innovation and doing business in California during a recession. http://www.nextgeneration.tv/?cmd=mpg&load=8399&mpid=517For those following up on the threads regarding bitcoin beyond planet Earth as a currency. Hope the video works for all. Enjoy!

Physicists once tried to build a spaceship propelled by nuclear bombs![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spaceflightinsider.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F08%2FProject-Orion-concept_Adrian-Mann_U1280x500-c.jpg&t=665&c=m1OOFpc6ukoWhg) One of the biggest things holding us back from exploring the universe is that it takes years to traverse the huge distances between planets.
It would take close to 165,000 years to reach our closest neighboring star using the space travel technology we have today.
Engineers are currently developing ion propulsion systems that will help pick up the pace, but space travel technology could have ended up on a very different path about 60 years ago, according to an interview with famed physicist Freeman Dyson.
Beyond his incredible achievements in mathematics and physics, Dyson has always been a space enthusiast. He and a handful of other physicists were recruited by General Atomic in the late 1950s to develop a unique kind of spaceship propulsion.
Simply put, the idea was to drop a bunch of atomic bombs behind a space ship and ride the momentum from the blast.

They called it nuclear pulse propulsion.
"So we would launch the ship into space — bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb — going up about four bombs per second," Dyson says in the interview.
This crazy idea was called Project Orion and this was its spacecraft design. It would have been able to carry 100 tones and eight astronauts. The left half of the image shows the vehicle that would launch the spaceship. The right half shows a loft that would lift the aircraft high into the atmosphere before the nuclear propulsion started: Read more at:

What's wrong with Earth?
Pictures I've seen from Mars didn't get me excited. I don't like the temperature and you can't even breathe out there. Sorry to put it so plainly, but the grass isn't greener on Mars.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

I'd like to see an underwater/ocean colony as a long term proof of concept first. At least during failure, there is a slightly sane chance of survival.

I think that there is possibility that earth won't be inhabitable forever.

There are many drawbacks for this plan. For example, if the underwater colony is too deep, then there will be a requirement for artificial lighting. Also there will be a constant demand for fresh oxygen.

There are many drawbacks for this plan. For example, if the underwater colony is too deep, then there will be a requirement for artificial lighting. Also there will be a constant demand for fresh oxygen. Most fish breathe oxygen. They absorb tiny bubbles of it right out of the water. Graphene can be developed to make a gill-pack practical. Rain, and winds and waves, are constantly filling the ocean with fresh oxygen. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
