SpaceWaves: What it takes to build a Martian supply chain (with video)

Sydney Do joined SpaceWaves to talk about the Martian Supply Chain.

Sydney Do, systems engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, hopes to send humans to orbit Mars and come back in the late 2030s. Following a successful orbit and round-trip mission to Mars and back, the next missions would send astronauts to land on the surface of Mars for progressively longer amounts of time. Even though it may be more than a decade before humans set foot on Mars, the logistical planning has already started.

In a SpaceWaves Fireside Chat on Thursday, Do and Andrew Cox,...

Companies are now designing reusable rockets and offshore platforms, so the costs of launching rockets into space are based more on the prices of natural gas and liquid oxygen, according to Keith Cowing, the longtime editor at NASA Watch. And using rockets to transport cargo across the world is growing in popularity as the FAA decided to ease regulations for commercial space transport in...
