Elon Musk Talks About Colonizing the Galaxy

the jurogan experience how much time before there's regular travel back and forth to mars roughly like a real civilization on mars well i think it's going to take a while to build a real civilization the i the the real the threshold that really matters is for getting past the great filter uh is do we have enough resources on mars such that if the uh if the spaceships from earth stopped coming you can survive yeah so that could only be just missing one little thing you'd be like you're on a long sea voyage and the only thing you're missing is vitamin c uh yeah it's lucky it's only a matter of time you know yeah and there's gonna be curtains so you gotta have uh all the things necessary to sustain civilization on mars um and the reason that the shifts from earth stopped coming could be world war iii or it could be due to a slow decline of civilization so civilization here on earth could end with a bang or a whimper um or natural disasters yeah asteroid impacts in the bank category yeah but it could also be like a whole series of things like see like what killed the dinosaurs well it wasn't just one thing you know it was like a whole bunch of things happened in a row and and uh you know um well they could have taken any one of those things they had like three things happen and no dinosaurs which is kind of amazing that crocodiles are still here yeah those [ __ ] well they're resilient crocodiles they um they'll they'll live on decayed meat they love rotten meat and so in a any kind of disastrous situation there's a lot of dead creatures and the crocodiles love it so um that's why they're around crocodiles and bugs and mushrooms um and shrews true yeah this is why we're here yeah exactly our great great great great great grandparents were shrews what a strange thing so like yeah to come from so there's hope there's hope for all you rodents out there yeah one day you can go to mars just keep doing your homework absolutely so so there'll be the you say the great filter what did you mean by that um well so there's something called like the fermi paradox of like where are the aliens yeah so yeah where are the aliens um and um i think it was carl sagan that said like uh if there either are a lot of aliens or none and the either they're equally terrifying um if there are a lot of aliens well i mean the invasion ship slash uh you know bug infestation just you know like with the starship trooper style well yeah i mean it's like as an alien civilization might just view us as like a bug infestation right you know it's like hey well if that planet was fine now it's got a bunch of bugs just go fumigate it you know um like would fumagate a house um that's certainly possible and then uh but if there are no aliens well could it be that all civilizations are just destroyed before they become inter inter stellar you know so uh and i wanna be clear like to the best of my knowledge i there is no evidence for alien life on earth that alien there's no ev there's no evidence for alien life there's no direct evidence for alien life no you know and if somebody says oh what about this alien for of you know uh sighting or whatever i'm like listen it's gotta be at least as good as a 711 or atm cam okay it's like if somebody's got at least like an iphone one level camera like something you know the problem with that is it's just too easy to fake things today too yeah sure at least try hard in there in fact are you familiar with uh commander david fravor's account of uh the tic tac ufo that he encountered off of the coast of san diego you know lex lex friedman yeah lex friedman interviewed him on his podcast and i interviewed him as well and if you ever get a chance to listen to lex's uh conversation with him it's really excellent but this guy is a naval fighter pilot and he talked about this thing that they tracked on radar that went from more than 60 thousand feet above sea level to one foot in less than a second shaped like a tic tac no visible sign of propulsion uh blocked radar actively jammed their tracking systems and then went to their predetermined point that they were supposed to uh that the the fighter jet was supposed to scramble to went to it uh 30 miles away in you know a couple seconds like they have no idea how it did it they don't know what it is okay and these guys that were uh working for the navy off the coast said they had encountered them several times they didn't know what they were they didn't know what to do whatever photo or something they do they have video of it uh okay they have video of it they have um there's do you ever see the new york times article that came out in 2017 about this stuff i don't know yeah there was a new york times article in 2017 that was detailing this and there's a couple of there's a a couple other different sightings that were very similar they were trying to figure out what these things were and why and it was also in the covid relief package that the cia was supposed to release yeah these politicians are trying to figure out what all this [ __ ] is so they try to get them to release all the information they have within 180 days honestly i think i would know if there are aliens i would hope so that's why i'm asking you no i i i i'll be jumping on that like be like you should watch that conversation with lex like here's the thing do you think that they would want us to know or do you think they would just be observing and making sure we don't blow ourselves up man they're real civilizations they sure are subtle [Laughter] i mean if they wanted us to know obviously they could just for sure you know show up and walk down main street you know okay i'm an alien check me out you know right uh he has my spaceship i just landed in the middle of times square i'll be like right okay or hover over downtown l.a yeah yeah we were like okay we believe you yeah um so whatever they're they're very subtle very subtle these aliens how often do you think about it nine zero zero even though you're thinking about interplanetary travel you don't really think about aliens no i mean if they show up i'm like great okay now this is new information but we yeah what an interesting way of putting it this is new information listen your information like where are you guys up till now yeah um so anyway uh listen i'm if if if i see some evidence for aliens i'll be like i'll be the first to be like ah aliens you know right then you'll investigate but until then you think it's kind of a waste of time yeah yeah it definitely seems like a waste of time if nothing's happened so far you think about all the people that have been researching aliens for their whole life and they have very little to show for it well you know there's other than cool stories yeah um i mean we have archaeologists going all over the world looking at things you know there's this people like if if we were to find something like let's say like a cube of titanium just like a one inch cube of titanium let's see in the middle of the permit i'd be like aliens for sure there's no way they could have made a titanium back then nope there's no way they that's hard that's all one didn't even need a computer like a computer would be like hey wow computers they didn't have computers back then so it must be aliens but you but even just like some advanced metallurgy anything like anything like that right nothing like that that we could point to that we can't do everything that we found archaeologically is consistent with the time uh the technology they had at that time archaeologically yeah yeah yeah so you're just talking about old stuff yeah yeah just throughout history it's not like yeah like the like aliens visitors would be if something buried somewhere i think um we haven't seen anything so anyway i mean maybe there are aliens but they're very subtle if they are they're just very uh they're being pretty shy so as far as we can tell there's none so nor are we seeing signals from any other solar system or anything like that so um now and the thing is that um on a galactic time scale even with sub-light travel you could absolutely colonize the whole galaxy even some of the neighboring galaxies um so if you gave if you said a million years with car with with and say there's no there's no new physics could you colonize the galaxy in a million years absolutely the entire galaxy so you would start with mars build bases on mars then use mars to jump off to all these other planets set up places there and over thousands of years yeah kind of like you know pop from one solar system to the next and yeah that it seems like that's imperative like that has to happen if the human civilization is going to survive because our planet is just we're too subject to natural disasters and our own folly and if the species is going to survive we kind of have to escape it's mostly about the species i mean there's been some real doozies of like you know massive meteors and super volcanoes and the continents moved all over the place and earth's been a snowball and super hot it the if you read like the geological history of earth it's like very long and complicated um so and then there have been so many extinction events not like just a few um yeah i mean the the permian extinction event that was a real rough one where it's like well over 90 percent of all species died out um and that doesn't tell the whole story because a huge chunk of the remaining species were fungi and um you know like sponges and stuff like that you know like if are you are you a sponge okay you're probably doing okay they're still around are you a mushroom do you like being in the dark and feasting on dead dead dead dead plant and animal matter okay
