Precipice Space: Hemp, Diamond Glass, and more Algorithms on Mars
- Organic chemistry, particular chemical reactions, and the breakdown of human waste can create methane fuel for energy production, also compost to aid growth of other organic forms while hemp’s versatility and ability to grow in poor soil make it ideal for terraforming on Mars.
- Methane production depends on large organic molecules breaking down into volatile fatty acids, which are then converted into acetic acid and carbon dioxide. Methanogenic bacteria convert the same into methane and water.
- The quantity produced depends on the efficiency of the anaerobic digestion process, and one ton of organic waste can typically produce between 200 to 300 cubic meters of biogas, with 50-70% being methane.
- Hemp can help with terraforming Mars. Its roots improve the soil while its biomass can be cycled back for use in compost, so dealing with both energy production and soil fertility.
- Hemp can also be used to produce construction materials, textiles, biodegradable plastics, alternative fuels, and papers and cardboard.
- A film about hemp and marijuana contributing to the sustainability and independence of a Martian colony can tackle several themes such as survival, ethics, and autonomy.
- The plot could revolve around the crew's efforts to terraform Mars by using hemp for energy, medicine, and construction while combating corporate interests from Earth.
- Piezoelectric Kevlar walls and crystallized carbon 'Diamond Glass' are used for protection, energy generation, and construction on Mars.
- The film's characters intimately rely on algorithms like POM, EPAS, AEM, SIVS, MCAM, and HMEM to survive during a catastrophe while preserving their independence.
- The incorporation of hemp and these algorithms tells a story of human resilience, cooperation, and survival while embodying the spirit of sustainable agriculture.
