good training ground. voice-verified

No, nor is there anything on the human factor as well on that. voice-verified

Yeah, voice-verified

Quantum clocks don't need GPS with quantum clocks. voice-verified

Specifically. voice-verified

something. voice-verified

It'd be in resupply, won't it, initially? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

So all of that, nothing, it's just an engineering problem, all of that. voice-verified

So once that's all ticked off, then the moon becomes the launch pad for Mars. voice-verified

The moon base will empower NASA to develop, test, and demonstrate needed technologies, capabilities, systems, and operation paradigms for future human missions to Mars. voice-verified

And then they outlie nuclear technologies, independent operations, human factors, logistics, dust, planetary systems have the same problems, but ramped up on to a scale beyond our imagination. voice-verified

So nuclear technologies, developing moon-based nuclear power systems, that will annoy some people, empower Mars exploration where NASA has already selected nuclear fission as the primary power generation technology for its robustness to the planet's environment, i.e. voice-verified

to dust storms. voice-verified

These efforts also benefit nuclear propulsion development efforts for Mars transportation systems. voice-verified

They've chosen fission because they can do that. voice-verified

Well, it reminds of that episode that we did with Andreev and he was speaking about the important human... voice-verified

elements you need in any long distance isolated human endeavors, whether that's walking to the North pole or flying for six months to Mars. voice-verified

And you need, well, remember very voice-verified

players. voice-verified
