Thoughts on the first humans living in space&how money will work on Mars, the Moon, and in space | TIS265 - a podcast by Alex G. Orphanos, Science Communicator

This week, there have been some thoughts brewing that I keep circling back to. It's got some layers: What kind of skills will the first humans living on another planet need to survive? What is the first 50-100 years of humans living in space going to be like? If people are living somewhere, they'll need money - what is that going to be like on Mars?

This line of thinking started with the remote assembly of JWST in space by humans on Earth, and tied in with an article from Interesting Engineering that shared a company who is contactless drilling on Earth and hopes to bring it to Mars. 

We would LOVE to hear your thoughts, if you have more information and knowledge on the questions we are posing, or want to let us know what you'd like us to explore next!
