Modern Wisdom · The Insane Biological Cost of Living on Mars - Scott Solomon - #1065 · 28 Feb 2026 podcast

And so to me, it's not that we should never go.

I think eventually, if we didn't do that, we would be dooming ourselves to extinction.

It's a matter of how quickly should we be pushing this.

And so, you know, people differ, I think, if you ask them about like how urgent, how pressing a need is this.

Personally, I think we need to have answers to some of these unanswered questions like reproduction, right?

What happens to, you know, a child conceived and born and raised?

in a one-third gravity high radiation environment.

I don't think it makes sense for us to go there until we really have good answers to those types of questions.

But the ethical things, the politics, the psychology that we've been talking about, all of these are things we should be studying this, right?

Like we need to know.

And the technology is advancing.

The rockets are flying.

Let's do the experiments and research that we need to do

you know, to answer these questions that, you know, is more, more life sciences, more biology, more, you know, psychology, microbiology, all these cool things.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, the book is available now.

It's Becoming Martian and MIT Press.

So yeah, check it out.

We did a streaming series too.
