Summary

To become an Interplanetary Species we need to colonize another planet, and Mars will be our first target. To establish a base there, and a future settlement, we need to get their first, so we will also examine the Aldrin Cycler, a type of spacecraft that may make traveling to other worlds far easier.

0:00.0	Hello, SFIA audio listeners. In this month's Nebula exclusive, big alien theory,
0:05.2	we're asking the reason alien civilizations might be rare is because most aliens are huge.
0:10.5	To hear it and every episode early and ad-free, plus hours of bonus content, check out
0:15.5	go.nebula.tv slash Isaac Arthur and use my code, Isaac Arthur.
0:20.2	This episode is sponsored by Brilliant.
0:23.0	Exploration and colonization for good and ill have often driven human progress through
0:28.0	the ages, from the known world to the new world, and one day to a new planet, a red planet,
0:34.7	Mars.
0:37.1	So today we are continuing our look at becoming an interplanetary species by looking at how
0:41.5	we will get our first man mission to Mars, and why that probably should be a permanent
0:45.8	base.

0:59.7	red planet for when we arrive, first with a base and eventually a colony.
1:05.1	In parts 1, 2, and 3 of this series, we looked at getting our basic space infrastructure
1:10.0	in place and setting
1:11.3	up resource extraction on the moon for raw materials and fuel, and now in part four,
1:16.6	we'll look at establishing our first major base and way station for our continuing journey farther
1:21.3	outward, and if you haven't already seen those, you might want to give them a watch before
