  1. That is awesome. Iemember watching some show on Discovery I think. Back when it wasn't reality TV. They were talking about either a hypothetical planet or one they discovered that had water. Yet it wasn't water like us. They called it like water or ice (insert number here). It would have had properties entirely different. Oh duh. I should stop commenting before I finish the video. I didn't realize there was different forms of water naturally on earth. Only difference I think was they were explaining the different forms of it being in one gigantic ocean pressing on itsself.

  2. Pre-fab shipping containers is where is at. Ones made at scale that are then sent on scale. Not sure how high you can stack them. Yet two being an apartment sounds totally reasonable. Can at least have it two stories, maybe three? He really didn't get into it. Living room, and kitchen downstairs. Bedroom, and bathroom upstairs. Just since sleeping upstairs feels safer to me, but it could also be sideways. Buying your own, and customizing it? Feel like at that point other methods are just better. Or getting one, and having it as a guest house. I guess there is the entire recycling part. Yet it isn't like they are wind turbine blades. They are fully recyclable already. So the biggest issue in my mind is insulation. Can't be that good.

  3. I always hear the reason why concrete doesn't last as long as say... Some roman concrete. (Not just due to the use if limestone.). That rebar is the culprit on why our concrete lasts only for so many decades instead of centuries. So if we could build to last like our ancestors. We wouldn't be using as much. Make a building last for the ages! (Also easily recyclable.). I mean couldn't we reinforce it with something that is even more durable as steel while maybe being weaker, but more durable against the forces that generally degrade it. Along with modern self healin, carbon tradable, concrete techniques. I want to see mega buildings where you could literally live your entire life in one. Has everything from a bakery, butcher, restaurants to banks and doctors. Have skyways to go a neighboring building. Those new magnetic elevators that can go in multiple directions in the X, Y and Z axis.
