Baby Making On Mars | StarTalk

We will actually send in each crew two men and two women. But of course we don't know yet. Scientists don't know yet if, uh, if fertilization works in reduced gravity of Mars. We don't know how a fetus will develop in the reduced gravity of Mars.

So before we have a really long and thin embryo, let's uh, let's find out that information first. Let's build a colony that is safe. So maybe 20 or 30 or 40 people living there. Imagine a toddler running around in a colony with four astronauts living on Mars. That's not a good place for a kid to grow up.

So, at some famous kid there ever was though, the first Mar after Jesus, Jesus in the manger, comes the child born on Mars. Second most famous child ever. Okay, no, that's crazy, but uh, it needs to be done in a thoughtful way and we will be sending very responsible people to Mars. I expect that they will behave responsibly.

So on the Mars One website, it says Mars One will advise the first settlement inhabitants not to attempt to have children at all. Plus, am I not right? Sperm count drops in zero G? They never told me that one! What, are you kidding me?

So it says don't have babies but doesn't say you can't have sex, right? That's all. Well, also can you send like a pregnant animal and then see what happens? Am I a non-human animal? No. Yeah, yeah, no. I like, like a cat or a dolphin or something. A dolphin? Yeah. I had a time. Yeah, just like a pregnant dolphin first. I just wanted yeah send one of those internet cats, right? And that will fund it. Everybody watches the internet kittens.

Well, that's true. If you sent an adorable pregnant cat, then that's the solution for raising money. None of this like everyone wants to see the landing; we all just want to see. But I'm presuming the reason he doesn't want them to attempt to reproduce the first crew is because they want to do some kind of testing and experiments to see what's possible.

So that would almost make sense being responsive at all, right? This might not, would not be having toddlers running around, right? Because they themselves are not good at survival, right? Most of the life of the parent is preventing the toddler from dying.

Am I wrong here? Parent, any parents in the, that is the whole job, to have them not die. That's all I'm saying. Kids are hard enough to track if you're trying to keep your own damn self alive. If you had, if you had a, like you have teenagers at home obviously, right? I think Neil, Neil, Neil, you'd be one thing for a toddler to break your dishwasher, but to break your thing in outer space would be terrible.

Dang it, I told you not to push that button!
