Mar's & space ...let's talk about it a bit before the year closes!
As developers, programmers & code enthusiasts (awkward starting but bear with me for a little while..) we are always instructed to code with an environment close to the one in production.
Our risk of not making a code run successfully in production surpasses the little nuances in shortcuts we take to make it run quickly in lower environments. Alright enough of code talk, we should be discussing space & mars so the same theory applies to what space gives us as an environment which marks the beginning of something either working or not working completely - the difference is - the risk here is far greater than than the minuscule issues which come to the code problem on earth.
So what does that mean?
Any entity being programmed to be used in space should be capable at minimum of 2 governing factors to perform without surprises...
The best way to do that is to have a component of decisioning being driven by a human interface but that wouldn't be autonomous - would it? To an extent - it will - why - because the machine is in a state of learning while the human is being a part of the decisioning process.
The autonomous part should be driven by the 2nd or the 3rd stage of AI at minimum (refer to my blog on stages in AI), which means that the machine should be able to perform without any decisions going down on the confidence or accuracy score - 95% of the time.
Let's understand how that is possible, throwing the system into a lab which mimics the environment and uncertainities to arrive at an accurate decisioning pattern most of the times, this can be done by using a bunch of computing software working together to inhabit an unknown environment, much like a video game but the difference here being the presence of much larger and vast number of unknowns.
Each time a human is put in the same environment and results sampled over a number of humans should point out an anomaly in decisioning of the machine as compared to the human considering both channels & environments are completely isolated.
The thought that humans once sent to Mars would be not returning back to earth is not even a bit scary as compared to the environment which they would have to live the rest of their lives and this doesn't even cover the transportation factor - or the journey to Mars.
The journey or transportation --> two things which are most important here are:
1. Artificial Gravity
2. Human examination on the immune response while in the journey.
Artificial gravity tries to get through most of the degeneration possibilities leading to the fact that you are travelling in a void with no gravity as an organism designed for gravity.
Immune response would be a factor of all possible negative transmissions that can happen between the group travelling in space & a negative reaction within a person's body. So in short whatever artificial gravity provides gives the person's the same disadvantages as it provides advantages but the risks of positive factors outweighs the negatives and being close to what we are on earth is our best bet until machine has learned successfully to decision with precision.
Enough of talk on the journey itself - let's reflect on some essentials during the journey process if a negative situation arises.
First of all - the thought of medicine consumption has to be redesigned - in the sense the medicines should function in micro gravity environments.
Then there is the concept of artificial organs, what happens here is that 3d printing might mimic a human organ on a temporary basis to serve as support for life during which the original organ is restored. Already work is underway to understand how 3d printing could solve the bigger challenges of creating a connected system in space.
There is lots to be done and there is a lot going on... we are far away in terms of having a completely successful prep for our long distance journey to mars or other planets. Although a lot to be done ... I wouldn't say this can take a lot of time.. so let's end on that positive note!

- Autonomous decisioning.
