Why is the Moon station is a more important thing than the Mars station?

The thing in the planning of the stable space stations for the other planets. Is to advance step by step. The first step is to create the technology that would use in those projects. 

And the Moon would be the perfect place for testing the technology that makes the other space station projects possible. The thing is that if there are some errors and problems in the structures or some solutions. Those things are easier to fix on the Moon than on Mars. 

But the beginning of the project is on the Earth. There must make many social and structural tests for making the structures that can work on the moon's surface. Researchers can take the next step. When the systems and structures work on the moon stations.  And they are proven safe. Similar concepts can send to Mars. 

The planet Mars is far, far away from the Earth. And that means the crews and other functions must be more independent. 

From Mars is a long way to home if there are malfunctions. The moonbase can evacuate immediately. If there are rescue capsules. In some concepts, the life-support modules and crew cabins are the rescue capsules that can launch back to Earth if something goes wrong. 

The first step on the route to make the stable stations to other planets is to make the mock-up system on the Earth. And then that thing would continue that the station would establish to some remote-areas like Antarctica and the floor of Ocean where it tested things like what kind of crew should go to the Moon.

Remote areas like deserts are also suitable places for testing the social construction of the crew. And those mock-up stations would work in a scientific role. Their crews can collect scientific data from their environment. In those desert and ocean stations could test things like nutrient support and airlocks. 

The key element is that the engineers are testing technology will develop as ready as possible on the Earth. Then the next step would be on the Moon and in the distant future to Mars and other planets. 

Creating the base on the surface of another planet is not without problems. There is the possibility that the seismic quakes can cause damages to the structures and destroy the station. 

Below the surface of Mars is carbon dioxide pockets that can vaporize. And that thing causes the collapse of the structure. But if we are thinking of the positions like the surface of the Jupiter moons. The problem is that there are oceans below the surface of those moons. 

The tidal waves of those oceans can break the ice core of the moon. And there is also the possibility that in those oceans are some primitive bacteria that can infect the crew.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible....

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger.  The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth.  It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons.  It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru...
