AI robot workers and drones doing flying and delivery?

In addition there have been huge advances in 3D printers and the capabilities of industrial robots are well established.

yes indeed I will post some news feeds and articles I came across

If one looks at the ISS we are onto biosphere 3 with still lots of things to refine for the future of living off from the moon or mars surface...

There are many posts on Biodomes and Settlements on newmars forums but this is the most active and updated trhead so I will post some news updates here

Re: Settlement design

This is for SpaceNut .... Noah has not communicated with us since he submitted a paper about his concept for an 8 person expedition.

He might respond to a request from you to see the paper.

As things stand, I am responsible for a misunderstanding of the nature of his work that led him to stop writing.

Re: Settlement design

If the paper was published it should be linked to this topic for all to make use of since its got our individual inputs into it.

Chat organized topic structure.

Project Objective: Clearly define the objective of the project. What do you aim to achieve by the end of the project? In your example, the objective might be to?

Scope: Determine the boundaries and extent of the project. What is included and excluded from the project? This helps to set realistic expectations and avoid scope creep.

Deliverables: Identify the tangible or intangible outputs that will be produced as a result of the project. For the furnace removal project, the deliverable would be the successful?

Timeline: Create a timeline or schedule that outlines the project's key milestones and deadlines. This helps to track progress and ensure timely completion of tasks.

Resources: Identify the resources required to execute the project. This includes any equipment, tools, materials, or expertise needed. For the project, you might need appropriate safety equipment, tools for disassembly, and potentially professional assistance.

Risk Assessment: Identify potential risks and obstacles that may impact the project's success. Assess the likelihood and potential impact of each risk, and develop mitigation strategies to address them.

Communication: Establish a communication plan to ensure effective and regular communication among project team members. Determine how progress updates, setbacks, and challenges will be reported and shared.

Progress Tracking: Implement a system to monitor and track project progress. This can be as simple as a checklist or a more sophisticated project management tool. Regularly review and update the progress to ensure the project stays on track.

Lessons Learned: Encourage individuals to reflect on their projects and document lessons learned. This enables continuous improvement and knowledge sharing among team members.

Celebrate Success: Acknowledge and celebrate the successful completion of projects. This fosters a sense of achievement and motivation for future endeavors
