GM IDEAS: The SpaceX Starship

                                                                                                                          Credit: © SpaceX

Elon Musk's SpaceX has released a "user manual" for its Starship, which one day could ferry up to 100 passengers to the Moon or even Mars.

The stainless steel rocket includes private cabins, solar storm shelters, and a viewing gallery.

Perhaps in 2183, there are still some of these "antiques" in operation or available for salvage.

However you decide to use it in your game, this six-page PDF will certainly come in hand for technical details, to add an air of authenticity.

Evolutionary Biology on Mars - TEDx Talk By Scott Solomon



As society slowly progresses in establishing themselves outside planet Earth, Professor Solomon takes a look at what would happen to humans from an evolution standpoint if we were to start residing permanently on Mars.

Taking a look at all the adaptations that we would go through, the question then arises, would we even be humans then?

Scott Solomon teaches ecology, evolutionary biology and scientific communication as a Professor in the Practice in the Department of BioSciences at Rice University. He received a doctorate in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior from UT Austin where his research examined the evolutionary basis of biological diversity in the Amazon Basin. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
