The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on June 28th at 9pm Pacific time!
One of the major hitches in colonizing Mars is the presence of very high concentrations of perchlorates in the Martian regolith (soil). Perchlorates are poisonous even in much smaller concentrations than are found on Mars. The previous methods of cleaning the soil involve using a lot of water (which is not easy to come by on Mars) that gives you clean soil but poisonous water. That is not an improvement of your situation. However there is a new method that may break down the perchlorates into usable chemicals.
During this episode we’ll talk about where the perchlorates came from and explore the various methods of removing the perchlorates or just living with them.
Join Jeff and Pam LIVE on Friday nights at 9pm Pacific time, USA.
The Friday night show is broadcast on FB and YouTube – just look for Everyday Spacer on either platform.
If you’d like to ask questions, share Space Station sightings or ask what planet you saw in the sky, we’ll help you out. We’ll have a main topic or a guest, then share the highlights of the week ahead and the rest will be ad lib. It might be VERY ad lib sometimes! LOL
