This is the subreddit of the Living Universe Foundation. Our dream is to see humanity take life to the stars.

In NewMars.com (forum) there is a post which is following Mars around the Sun. New Years on Mars occurred on Earth day 2019/03/24. Mars has passed longitude 180 degrees in its stately progression. The calendar is now on Sol 383 or later.

If you are interested, the concept is for a participant to take responsibility for development of a virtual plot on Mars, one kilometer square on the surface, in a community called Sagan City (2018).
Participants will interact with each other to specialize in one or more of the knowledge areas which will be needed to sustain civilized life on Mars.

To see a proposed calendar for Mars:

In addition, tahanson43206 is participating in a membership outreach campaign at NewMars forum. In an effort to build up a virtual business community focused upon Mars, messages are being send to newly registered members, inviting them to participate in the Hacienda topic.

In the past week, a variety of topics have been under discussion as usual.

The 2020 Mars Society Convention took place in the fall of 2020. There were 150 speakers, and 130 of the talks have been recorded as videos.

A discussion of the videos is underway in the NewMars.com/forums ... They are scheduled to change every two Earth days.

As of this posting, a book is available: Mars City States - New Societies for a New World ISBN 978-1-7363860-0-2

Some of the teams whose videos are included in the conference list on YouTube are included in the book. 20 Designs are included.

The NewMars forum Administrators have closed off registrations. 19,633 ID's are registered. The vast majority of these were created by Spam robots. A process is underway to prepare these fake ID's for use by real people. 6700 ID's have been recovered so far, and a new initiative to recover several thousand more is under way. From now on (until policy changes again) admissions to the forum will be by invitation. Existing members are invited to nominate candidates. A mechanism for applying for membership is in use. As of 2021/05/03, the third By Invitation member was added to the roster. That new member has created a topic: Settlement Design in Human Missions that is receiving a ** lot ** of attention, with multiple contributions from multiple members.

There is an active search underway for a person who has many years of experience planning and supervising provisioning of a large cruise ship or miltary vessel. This person would assist RobertDyck in planning provisioning for the Large Ship to carry passengers in the Mars/Earth circuit.

Another volunteer opportunity would be for someone willing to help to plan space missions to Mars. There is an experienced (retired) aerospace engineer in the membership. A new member with interests along these lines would be welcome.

There is an opportunity for a person trained and experienced in biological science to lead recording of knowledge about what is needed to grow trees on Mars. A new topic "Trees on Mars" was just opened, and since no one in the forum has knowledge in this area, contributions by a knowledgeable person would be welome.

There is a discussion underway to see if the many materials prepared for computation of spacecraft orbital missions might be developed into a tutoral that would be open to anyone interested in learning how navigate a space craft.

The US Defense Department reported a successful test of a small solar panel riding in the X37b experimental space platform. The background for this experiment was reported to be the Pentagon interest in providing power from space to remote military outposts, to reduce risks due to transport of petroleum in disputed territory.

The progress of SpaceX in developing the Starship is a popular subject for discussion.
Mr. Musk announced tentative plans to launch a Super Heavy and Starship with destination of a splashdown near Hawaii.
Work is progressing rapidly on two repurposed floating oil platforms to be named Phobos and Deimos.

The adventures of the little helicopter Ingenuity are the focus of great interest in the current week. As of this posting, the little hellicopter flew on Mars so well it is being given an opportunity to scout for Perseverance. It just flow to a second new "airfield" to wait for Perseverance to catch up. Perseverance is reported to be on the move.

A new initiative is underway to develop a plan for a 17 person Mars landing party. The leader of this initiative is a retired scientist who is organizing teams of "triads" of complementary skills. The initiative is being support by forum management so that the main topic is reserved for the author, and a "Companion" topic is available for members to make comments, suggestions and whatever else they are inspired to contribute.

I'd like to put in here a reminder that this set of posts is possible through the generosity of Dr. Lewis Dartnell, author of "The Knowledge".

It is my hope that the support provided over a number of years will ultimately lead to renewed activity on this forum, in the accumulation of actual practical knowledge.

Clearly the NewMars undertaking is about setting up shop on another world, but in the process, I'm expecting participants to master bodies of knowledge that will, in sum, allow a First Tier civilization to come into being on Mars, in habitats in free space, and elsewhere in the Solar System.

This is the Help Wanted post, so I'll add a bit more detail ...

We are in the process of recovering spammer created member ID's for use by real people. The count is now up to 8,153. There are 19,633 ID's altogether, and the "real people" probably sum to fewer than 1,000.

All those recovered ID's are potentially available for real people who want to participate in working out the process for settling Mars.

There is a portal available for application for membership. The process is similar to applying for a job, although this is an all-volunteer activity.

The people who will settle Mars are alive on Earth today.

The My Hacienda topic anticipates 7,800 individuals working on detailed plans for a collaborative design and eventual realization of a stand-alone community, able to supply most of the needs of a first tier community on Mars. There is ongoing discussion of greenhouse design for Mars, and numerous other topics in the general category of settlement design.

*** This is the Help Wanted topic do I'll add a bit more detail

RobertDyck is leading an initiative to design a large Ship. The artificial gravity would be Mars equivalent, and the atmosphere inside the vessel would be the standard that RobertDyck is recommending for habitats on Mars. The distinct and important feature of the atmosphere recommended by RobertDyck is that personnel could transfer to spacesuits and back without pre-breathing or decompression.

RobertDyck has been working on a computer that would allow him to work on animation to develop the Large Ship. While there are many software environments that might be suitable, RobertDyck is leaning toward using Unreal Engine. For anyone who might be skilled using Unreal Engine, and who might have an interest in helping with the Large Ship project, please look at the Recruiting topic at NewMars forum.

Building a new civilization on another planet is a core interest of the Knowledge Forum.

This is the Help Wanted topic so I'll add a few items that might be of interest ...

RobertDyck is continuing to think about the Large Ship ... he is building/modifying a computer which will be able to run Unreal Engine software. If there is someone in the Knowledge Forum readership who is currently designing with Unreal Engine ** and ** is interested in the Large Ship design, the project is Open Source. RobertDyck is negotiating for space on a server where project output can be stored.

A retired scientist (PhD Chemistry) is thinking about a 17 person science/exploration mission to Mars. He has specifically asked for input from his peers, so if a reader of this post knows a scientist who is interested in the Mars project, please direct them to the NewMars forum.

This is the subreddit of the Living Universe Foundation. Our dream is to see humanity take life to the stars.

In NewMars.com (forum) there is a post which is following Mars around the Sun. New Years on Mars occurred on Earth day 2019/03/24. Mars has passed longitude 180 degrees in its stately progression. The calendar is now on Sol 383 or later.

If you are interested, the concept is for a participant to take responsibility for development of a virtual plot on Mars, one kilometer square on the surface, in a community called Sagan City (2018).
Participants will interact with each other to specialize in one or more of the knowledge areas which will be needed to sustain civilized life on Mars.

To see a proposed calendar for Mars:
Visit NewMars.com/forms and look for Today on Mars

In addition, tahanson43206 is participating in a membership outreach campaign at NewMars forum. In an effort to build up a virtual business community focused upon Mars, messages are being send to newly registered members, inviting them to participate in the Hacienda topic.

In the past week, a variety of topics have been under discussion as usual.

The 2020 Mars Society Convention took place in the fall of 2020. There were 150 speakers, and 130 of the talks have been recorded as videos.

A discussion of the videos is underway in the NewMars.com/forums ... They are scheduled to change every two Earth days.

As of this posting, a book is available: Mars City States - New Societies for a New World ISBN 978-1-7363860-0-2

Some of the teams whose videos are included in the conference list on YouTube are included in the book. 20 Designs are included.

The NewMars forum Administrators have closed off registrations. 19,633 ID's are registered. The vast majority of these were created by Spam robots. A process is underway to prepare these fake ID's for use by real people. 8500 ID's have been recovered so far, and a new initiative to recover several thousand more is under way. From now on (until policy changes again) admissions to the forum will be by invitation. Existing members are invited to nominate candidates. A mechanism for applying for membership is in use. As of 2021/05/03, the third By Invitation member was added to the roster. That new member has created a topic: Settlement Design in Human Missions that is receiving a ** lot ** of attention, with multiple contributions from multiple members.

There is an active search underway for a person who has many years of experience planning and supervising provisioning of a large cruise ship or miltary vessel. This person would assist RobertDyck in planning provisioning for the Large Ship to carry passengers in the Mars/Earth circuit.

Another volunteer opportunity would be for someone willing to help to plan space missions to Mars. There is an experienced (retired) aerospace engineer in the membership. A new member with interests along these lines would be welcome.

There is an opportunity for a person trained and experienced in biological science to lead recording of knowledge about what is needed to grow trees on Mars. A new topic "Trees on Mars" was just opened, and since no one in the forum has knowledge in this area, contributions by a knowledgeable person would be welome.

There is a discussion underway to see if the many materials prepared for computation of spacecraft orbital missions might be developed into a tutoral that would be open to anyone interested in learning how navigate a space craft.

The US Defense Department reported a successful test of a small solar panel riding in the X37b experimental space platform. The background for this experiment was reported to be the Pentagon interest in providing power from space to remote military outposts, to reduce risks due to transport of petroleum in disputed territory.

The progress of SpaceX in developing the Starship is a popular subject for discussion.
Mr. Musk announced tentative plans to launch a Super Heavy and Starship with destination of a splashdown near Hawaii.
Work is progressing rapidly on two repurposed floating oil platforms to be named Phobos and Deimos.

I'd like to put in here a reminder that this set of posts is possible through the generosity of Dr. Lewis Dartnell, author of "The Knowledge".

It is my hope that the support provided over a number of years will ultimately lead to renewed activity on this forum, in the accumulation of actual practical knowledge.

Clearly the NewMars undertaking is about setting up shop on another world, but in the process, I'm expecting participants to master bodies of knowledge that will, in sum, allow a First Tier civilization to come into being on Mars, in habitats in free space, and elsewhere in the Solar System.

***
Since this is the Help Wanted topic, I'll add a bit more on that theme

Since the decision was made to block spammer registrations, we've opened a pathway for membership using an email procedure ...

We've added three new members ... One is a PhD candidate and the other two are undergraduates. One is studying robotics, and the other has begun to explore architecture with a focus on Mars.

We've received an inquiry from a fourth person, and negotiations are under way to see if this person might be interested in helping to try to change the culture of the membership.

For about 20 years, registration was unlimited, and it took really egregious behavior to win "banned" status. The members who remain share broad interests in space related topics, but discussions are wide ranging as the outside world delivers topics that are of general interest.

One thing ** not ** characteristic of the forum is any sense of accomplishment. Discussions are repetitive, because posts full of information flow "under the bridge" and out of view quickly, and in any case, members often have time for only a few messages that might appear on the board.

It would be interesting to see if the culture can be changed by offering opportunities to define goals at the time of application and admission.

*** This is the Help Wanted topic

It appears (judging from the applications for membership that appear in the forum occasionally) that the majority of visitors to the web site these days are sales people.

The most recent example was a person advertising wicker basket items from China. That is actually a useful concept (it seems to me) in the context of Dr. Dartnell's forum, or in the context of Mars settlement.

In the framework of the Mars Society endeavor to prepare for life on Mars, just about every vocation developed on Earth over millennia is likely to have a chance for consideration for Mars, at some point.

This is the Help Wanted topic ... NewMars has a portal for admission of new members. The requirements are not stringent, but they **do** seem to be a problem for applicants.

The folks who go to the trouble of registering for Dr Dartnell's forum appear to be sales people, hawking ever imaginable kind of good or service, some of which are designed to appeal the the lowest human appetites.

None of these applicants are likely to receive admission to the Forum.

If anyone ever comes along who would like to contribute to this forum, start by buying a copy of "The Knowledge" and then talk to me through the signature line of the application form.

I can't guarantee Dr. Dartnell would consider your application but purchase of the book would be a significant showing of good will on your part.

Reading the book would help as well.
