Beyond the Talk: Ariel Ekblaw in conversation with TED Talks Daily

Olen kiinnostunut tropiikallisesta botanista. Minulla on noin 40 asukkupuolta ja haluan pyrkiÀ pysymÀÀn tropiikalliset asukkupuolta elÀvÀssÀ Bostonissa. Se on melko haastavaa. Onko sinulla vihreÀ asukka? MitÀ sinÀ teet? Onko sinun pitÀnyt luoda ympÀristö, jotta he voivat elÀÀ?

Jotkut jÀtetÀÀn, jotkut jÀtetÀÀn. MinÀ annan heille erityistÀ vettÀ, ei tappaa vettÀ. MeidÀn tÀytyy filteroida sopivat ja kÀrsivÀt salat, jotka ovat paljon meidÀn juokseemme vettÀ. Joten heillÀ tulee huonoa kiinnostusta. En oikein ole suomalaista, mutta jonain pÀivÀnÀ haluaisin saada eri suomalaista suomalaista suomalaista suomalaista suomalaista suomalaista suomalaista suomalaista suomalaista suomalaista suomalaista

I had a wonderful conversation with another TED speaker that reminded me of this the other day. I went through a really tough situation with my mom. She got really sick a few years ago. She has since recovered. That period of taking care of her was incredibly intense. It happened to overlap with the pandemic. But the sense of fulfillment and mattering that I had and she had in that time feels actually so much more profound sometimes than even my day-to-day work. And I love my day-to-day work. I love working on space explorations.

But I basically don't want to have the regret in 10 years of having focused so solely on an aspirational ambition that I didn't do the things, the very human things that just help you feel fulfilled and grounded, like taking care of your family, being there when someone really, really needs you. And it was another wonderful conversation that Ted, that was just such a

Kristallisointi, ettÀ se on niin, ettÀ et vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ. Ei saa olla niin kiinnostunut itselleen, mikÀ voi olla hyvÀ asia, ettÀ muistat jotain todella tÀrkeÀÀ, kuten yksityiskohtaisia ihmisten tarpeita ja toiminnassa toiminnassa ja tekemisessÀ toiminnassa. KyllÀ, se on kaunis ja kaunis muistin. Ariel, kiitos paljon. Kiitos, kiitos paljon, ettÀ olit katsomassa. Se on ollut hienoa puhua sinulle. KyllÀ, se on ollut hienoa.

Ja varmista, ettÀ tulet takaisin tÀnne myöhemmin. Ariel ja minÀ tuli sitoutumaan, ettÀ kuulemme enemmÀn työtÀ ja ideoita, joita hÀn kertoi taustalla. Minulla oli aiemmin opettaja, joka kysyi minulle, miksi maailmassa kulutamme niin paljon rahaa maailmansopimuksen kanssa, kun taas on niin monia vaikeita haasteita tÀÀllÀ maailmassa.

It's a good question and a tough one for me. Should we be building a future life in space? I want to argue yes and tell you how. I do believe in the beauty of space exploration for the sake of new knowledge, because the little that we do know about our universe pales in comparison to what we do not yet know.

ja joissain tapauksissa se on minun elÀmÀssÀni. IsÀni ovat molemmat pilottajat, isÀni oli A-10-pilottaja, ja isÀni oli yksi ensimmÀisistÀ naisista, jotka voivat soittaa Yhdysvalloissa. Ja 14 vuotta sitten soittin mikrogravitiin, kuten astronautti, ensimmÀistÀ kertaa. TÀmÀ inspiroi minut työskentelemÀÀn aeroalassa koko elÀmÀni elÀmÀn jÀlkeen. Mutta ilmaisuudistus tekee niin paljon parempaa kuin vain inspiroida.

Our space program has routinely delivered breakthrough innovations. The Apollo program gave us the foundation of modern computing. The International Space Station gave us LASIK eye surgery, contributed to that amazing technology. And now new technologies are coming online to enable lifesaving biotech in orbit and even deliver energy from space.

What makes all of this possible? In the last 15 years, the cost to get to space has dropped dramatically, from over $50,000 a kilogram in the NASA shuttle era to now under $200 a kilogram with SpaceX's Starship coming online.

This is remarkable. This is like FedEx. If you can ship something around the world, you can ship it to space. But the precursor space station, where so much of this amazing work has been taking place, the International Space Station, it's getting old, it's very cramped, and worse, it's about to be shut down. It's going to be decommissioned in 2030, 2031. We need new infrastructure, and we need it fast.

Ongelma on, ettÀ nykyinen ympÀristön rakennus on melko vahva, vaikea ja vaarallinen.

All of the pieces of the International Space Station were assembled over 15 years by astronauts doing incredibly courageous and risky maneuvers in bulky spacesuits, basically building some of the most advanced technology known to humankind by hand. This hand-built method doesn't scale. Even if the cost to go to space dropped even more dramatically tomorrow, we only have room for about 14 humans in orbit, period.

The bottleneck isn't rockets anymore, it's real estate. And we need a new solution for how to build in orbit and scale up space infrastructure for the public good. Nine years ago, I started working on this problem. Could we learn from nature, from plants and proteins that self-assemble at a small scale and adapt us to the grandest scales in space?

We know that when you're in free fall around a planet, you have the sensation of zero gravity. In that environment, forces like magnetism can bring together vast objects with ease. So first at MIT, and now at Aurelia Institute, my team and I have invented a system to do just this, to grow space structures in orbit using autonomous robotic self-assembly.

The idea behind the method is to allow us to build reconfigurable space stations that are bigger than our biggest rockets. Based on my MIT PhD, we use electropermanent magnets, very special strong magnets, that bring the modular tiles together to dock, to rendezvous. Essentially think about space Legos with magnets that click, click, click, click into place.

Tesserae, jota kutsumme maatalouteen, on yksityiskohtainen rakentaminen. KÀsittelemme modulaatioita paikoilleen, johon heidÀn pitÀisi olla, ja kun tilaat tai modulaatiot tulevat, ne rakentavat itseÀÀn. MeidÀn ei tarvitse astronautteja tai jopa robotit, jotka kÀyvÀt laajassa tai riskiÀssÀ maatalouksessa ja maatalouksissa. Sitten, kun tilaat ovat tulleet yhdessÀ yhdellÀ pukkipaikalla, muutama pukkipaikalla voidaan pukkipaikalla rakentaa isompi maatalouteen.

The best part is that we have tested this in space twice. Michael Lopez-Alegria on orbit inside the International Space Station, helping us test the code and the timing and the pacing for dynamic robotic self-assembly in orbit.

TÀmÀn jÀlkeen me rakennamme, menemme ja testaamme. Me prototyypioidamme, simulaamme fysiikkaa, jotta voimme huomioida rakennusmetodin. Ja viime vuonna me rakensimme maailmanlaajuisen maahanmuuttajamme muokkaamisen, ja tuomimme sen maailman ympÀristöön.

What we hope to communicate to the public with these interiors is a life worth living in space, or at least worth commuting to. Once we're in space, we can use the really unique environment of the vacuum, of microgravity, to manufacture things that can't be made on Earth. In Low Earth Orbit, we're working with partners to use the Tesserae construction technology to assemble large-volume, high-throughput biotech factories.
