One day, humans will explore space en masse and live scattered across the solar system on planets like Mars and beyond. Inspired by his time as artist-in-residence at the European Space Agency, TED Fellow Jorge Mañes Rubio wants to rethink what we need to bring on this grand journey — and more importantly, what we should leave behind. Mañes Rubio takes us on an Earthbound journey through cultural practices and his own designs that blend science, art and ritual, encouraging a bold reimagining of what a future free of prejudice and exploitation could look like.

Shotguns, don’t ask why just give us shotgun
-Literally all soviet cosmonuts
Unlike the American Astronauts who lands in the Pacific or the Atlantic, landing in the wilderness of Siberia wasn’t exactly safe before or after.
.“The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.”
We need to take mankinds pioneering spirit with us. Leaving behind the hate and greed of our times. Godspeed!
totally agreee ye
It’s crazy to think of humans one day living outside of earth. But amazing to think that it will one day be a possibility.
It’s already a possibility with the technology we have, just prohibitively expensive to colonize.
Agree. I hope it would just be an “alternative world” and not an ultimate escape. I still think what we have now is the best there is.
So TLDR: Lets buils a moon Temple full of Idols that symbolyze stuff like ancient Rituals or the hardship to come?
That has to be the weekest TED Talks i have seen so far…
I mean nice piece of Trivia about Shamans and Ancient Rituals that still exist today, but when i read “What should humans take to space (and leave behind)?” I expect some reasoning about why we actualy take stuff with us and why we should leave some stuff behind.
You’re already spaced out, but if you want to explore the universe, do so on your own dime, not at taxpayer expense.
This video goes full fukpotato in the first 58 seconds. The only people going to space are psychopathic wealth consolidators. This video was delusional from inception to fade out.
Watch any clip of Jean Luc Picard saying something meaningful, and you’ll get more out of it than this.
Man must take all the pollution and religions up into space and leave the money.
Sorry Guru dude, we will be sending scientists and engineers to colonize the moon and Mars
yussssss
Thanks! I needed the laughs.
this guy could talk to me abt anything
Great idea, Sir! But just curious how this is going to help from a scientific point of view.
TED has an awesome sense of humor, but a very bad sense of timing. This video would’ve been perfect for April 1st!
