Everyone watching this video, we were all born at a time when we can witness the birth of human space colonization. This is the infancy of our true space age. We are lucky enough to exist at a time where we can see it all unfold and take its first steps, It is incredible.
True kinda, but I feel like the birth of A.I. is overshadowing our so called age of space exploration. It's making such a huge footprint and it's barely out of it's infancy, it's gonna be Interesting to watch how this pans out.
@ChirstInTheDistance As of a year later, I agree with you. It's kind of scary how much progress AI is making in such a short time frame. Let's hope that maybe AI will be a good thing that helps humanity instead of hurting us.
@@barrysotero137It's called SCIENCE fiction for a reason. Fiction based on theoretically proven concepts. If you come back to this in 100 years, you would be surprised how much of this is actually true
@Jack Sparrow It's the plan for the future of humanity, 100 years ago hearing that there was a chance we would ever be able to have thin TVs, VR, and smartphones that were as powerful as computers seemed like a fairy tail. Although they became reality much sooner than expected.
@Jack Sparrow fairy tales? What part? We have already landed robots on Mars. The missing key is rapid reusable rockets and that is hopefully just around the corner.
Is no one going to talk about how these robots did so much work before the humans landed on mars? Imagine how long in the future to have these robots work atomunusly and do these tasks without being guided by a human millions of kilometers away from mars i think by then i would not live to see it yes. AI had some progress like chat gpt but still it will take more decades to have these intelligent robots roaming mars and doing their own thing
This video reminds me of the very first computer game I ever owned it was Outpost. Basically the game was designed to be an open-ended simulation that tasted the players ability to establish a colony, discover and mine resources that can be used to advance technology and provide a life-sustaining environment in the stark and inhospitable landscape of an alien world. It was definitely ahead of it's time.
Wow, very impressive. Excellent futurism. You addressed the most important issues with the best consensus solutions we have now. Personally I see atomic energy playing a huge role but that's an aside. Your vid has a ton of graphics I haven't seen before so if you made all that, double wow. I was really glad to see that in your scenario humans come later and an orbital infrastructure comes first. I think you could have made this a longer vid, explaining how propellant could be stored in ship tanks, how mining work can result in underground bases and tunnels, and so forth but I'm grateful for what I got. Subbed with notifications of course, and going back to watch all your previous work. Thanks! 🌍 🚀 🌒 🌌 👽
Wow this is great! Very well thought out, insightful and thoughtful video. This is so well done that I could imagine that NASA could use this as a template plan for our future construction and colonization of Mars base! Very Nicely Done!!
I've always thought that this is a far better option than sending fragile humans to such a hostile environment to do all the initial setting up of a colony 👍
I absolutely love love love this channel but it sucks that I won't make it long enough to witness any of this. At least I can live vicariously through Venture City🎉
I think Elon Musk mentioned needing to take a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) rather than panels. When weight/space is limited this probably makes quite a bit more sense; panels are more difficult to set up and maintain, clean, etc. remembering that Mars receives only 43% of the light of earth... By that stage we should be better at building small modular reactors with decades of fuel, just two (perhaps one for primary and a second for redundancy) initially and then a third when humans arrive. You enjoy more consistent (and night resistant) power and there's not the need to store it with batteries nearly as much. Additionally any high energy functions (e.g. mining, brick firing, etc.) are instantly better serviced from a reactor.
A pretty optimistic plan. Such an implementation would be a serious challenge even here on Earth, unlike on Mars, where a thousand things can and will go wrong.
To me, Mars and space colonization in general is the perfect field for the use of robots, to the point that maybe humans should have no business being there in the first place (at least not as "early" as people want it). However, and I was thinking about it as I was watching the video, if you really pay attention to it, most challenges (and not only related to space) are most of the times not tackled or tackled with a half-assed approach simply because of lack of justification / motivation. See, we *are* capable of creating robots that do all that described in the video on Mars. We just don't create robots that do that here on Earth because of the lack of justification (or: the economics of it). That's the reason, for example, why humans were able to visit the Moon as early as in the 60's. It's possible when you have the justification (in that case it was the Cold War). The justification this time for creating robots capable of self-organizing on Mars is two-fold: first, it's Mars, it must work (so don't just implement anything that works, but something that is very robust); second, the patron of this project is one of the richest and most inspiring men on Earth (alas he's been trying hard to smear his image lately, but anyway...) who is able to concentrate brilliant and motivated people to make the greatest challenges work. It may seem silly, but the motivational factor is really decisive.
I can imagine Mission Control on Earth evaluating the progress of robots on Mars and having to make a GO/NO GO decision about launching humans to Mars. I would hold back humans until food and fuel were unquestionably ready. An unexpected collapse of either might doom a human colony on Mars.
We already know that there is life on Mars. The secondary test of the Viking lander heated the sample, destroying the organic matter, and thus giving a negative result. It was the fault of the secondary test.
I've written this before myself. This is the intelligent way to safely expand the boundaries and territories of mankind. This is how you use machines. Let them hazard a shoulder the unforeseen and seen risk and burdens that could potentially prove deadly to living people.
Cool idea but it would be a massive leap for robots to start building a base on Mars, from what they are doing now. Current rovers might move a few dozen feet per day and aren't doing much besides snapping some pictures and drilling into a rock. I'm sure it's possible but this is very optimistic if we're being honest. More likely humans will land with supplies and live out of the Starships as they're getting a base set up.
12:28 These rovers with high legs remind me of the one shown in James Cameron's "Aliens" from 1986 (the scene where Newt's family investigating the mysterious signal known from Ridley Scott's first movie). I remember reading the slogan "Weyland - Yutani: Building better worlds" in the colony. It seems that 1986's science fiction is coming closer to reality now.
Brilliant video. Please continue phase 2 etc. A minor improvement. Launchpads need to be constructed and TBMs used to construct safe and fast transport tunnels from the launchpads to the base. Add the underground rocket fuel tanks. Enter the Boring Company with TBMs
Brilliant Video! The plan of using robots to initially colonise Mars is well thought and realistic. The first human explorers will have to be Vegan for the tours, because there won't be any cows on Mars. Furthermore, sending meat and diary to Mars will be cost prohibitive. The space explorers will eats plants only, increasing the lifespan of people living offworld. Another scenario to consider, is that we might be using Clean Cultured Meat on Mars because even now we can grow meat. Being able to grow meat will come in handy on Mars because you could even grow organs like skin in the case of medical emergencies. I would also add that the Starlink satellites will have Bitcoin nodes running on them to provide the monetary network for longer term development of a Mars colony. The blockchain tech running of these Satellites nodes will also be used to run DAOs(Decentralised Autonomous Organisations) forming the basis for the first governance structures on Mars. Excellent videos - looking forward to more.
im completely fascinated with your work i love space too much at these types of contents are of my type even i get goosebumps at 13:01 ... damn hope i was also in this field and work for spacex
I love the way they made this video to be so realistic in terms of current technology available and how the process to go about colonization. It's so realistic that I actually think it would be done this way in the near future.
Wouldn't it be more interesting or meaningful to build it by their own hands for the first people on Mars? I mean be pioneer there and start from the begining in such a harsh conditions on a new planet would be something phenomenal.
Thank you for this video. I am very hungry for ideas on the colonization of Mars and, while there is nothing new in this, at least it's a slightly new synthesis of the old. I often work on different design concepts for Mars colonial systems. I started with a concept to build within a lava tube and then melting out ice caves in the vast Martian equatorial glaciers. Then I moved on to mass production of PVC for habitats, then nickel/iron stainless steel, and now frozen Rammed Earth (only with Martian regolith). My design goals are to build a self-sufficient and self-expanding paradise. To accomplish this, I tend to rely on low technology. My concepts have moved to this frozen Rammed Earth concept because it is the quickest to build and very protective. So this would include half-circular roofs with the exterior being 1 meter of compacted regolith (similar to sedimentary stone) under frozen mud. This would be very impact resistant, block all space radiation, by air-tight, and also very insulative against the cold. The windows would be blown glass bricks on the sides and the same over garden areas half filled with water to block excess radiation. Wind turbines are the best energy source, as they workd night, day, and through dust storms. Further, new ones can be fully made in local machine shops with materials from local smelters/foundries. Of course, algae and plants would be used to regenerate oxygen and clean both water and air. The gardens would have waterfalls, streams, fountains, fish farms, and swimming areas. I feel like I have solid solutions for everything except for three areas: (1) how to robustly seal around the windows; (2) how to make effective plant lights; and (3) how to make a quality EVA suite... I have solutions for these but not ideal. The most important is for sealing windows--current concepts include making a pseudo rubber in the form of glycerine-plasticized plastic from plant oil or PVC. Ideally for lights, I'd like to be able to create efficient LEDs with bright full spectrum but that seems out of reach. Incandescent lighting can be made but, must be changed regularly. It might also make sense to burn off hydrogen, as it will create light, humidify, and destroy any CO buildup. As for an EVA suite, I think we could work with plasticized PVC as a base material with fibers and metal joints. It's a lot of work, though. A simpler system would be something like a pill-shaped hamster ball with long rubber gloves out the sides. This could be made with strong tempered glass so you'd walk inside to move while holding stationary handle bars on the inside, leaning left or right to make turns. It's not super agile but would be easy to build and probably fun to use.
For communication and coordinates: I think the first step would be building a high orbit satellite network around Mars, providing communication and exact coordinates and maps at any point of the martian surface at all times. Since descending from high orbit to low orbit and land takes up a lot of energy, it is actually a lot cheaper to move stuff into a high orbit around Mars than to the surface. Therefore, I believe that a network of space solar panels will also be built prior to landing. The space solar panels send the energy to the surface as microwaves. The colony and robots on the surface will simply have microwave-antennas absorbing the incoming microwave beams. These antennas are far more smaller, lighter and perfectly dust resilient, compared to solar panels. In the long run, the best option for energy supply on Mars is probably a nuclear power plant, built with local materials. Since the crust of Mars contains far higher concentration of metals, I believe it shouldnt be too hard to find some Uranium or Thorium. If you drill deep enough, you will also find some water for the steam circle, if not, CO2 can also be used. For cooling, the atmosphere of Mars can also be used. A water body is not required, though water is naturally far more effective for cooling as the thin martian atmosphere.
what's your suggestion w/ the microwave power transmitters based on - any practical experience or vids about that? i like the idea, provided it works technologically, and question is, what is the falloff rate of the microwave power by the time it reaches the antennas, compared to solar panels, especially considering the various mars weather conditions / atmospheric changes.
@@themax2go Solar panels are far more effective in space than at the surface, especially on a high orbit or a polar orbit where they never cross the planet's shadow. The technology, beaming energy from space solar panels down by micro-waves is already being hotly debated and definitely possible. The only problem is, it will never be economical for power generation on earth. People totally underestimate the cost of space travel. It is literally astronomical. ruclips.net/video/1QYrSv42M6E/видео.html On Mars, the atmosphere is much thiner, making power transmission by microwaves even more economical. Only the higher distance to sun and the dust in the Marsian atmosphere are downsides. Still, far better than building solar panesl on the surface.
Awesome animations! The burning question is, how many launches will be needed to carry all those thousands of tonnes of heavy machinery? Are the current heavy-lifters from Space X configured to carry such loads?
If you watch Interviews with Mars experts from NASA, we are far more steps behind thinking about the number of space vehicles needed. There are still problems we don't have solutions for. The Starships would likely be to heavy to land on unprepared Martian ground and the distribution of mass and the idea of the current Starship designs we know of could not possibly be unloaded on Mars. The energy requirement for such a mission displayed in the video would require an enormous amount of energy. So 10 Starhips would be needed only for solar panels or small nuclear powerplants. The list goes on. Hypothetically a fully Starship could take around 3-10 tonnes of payload to Mars (1,200t Fuel in a Starship, gear-ratio of Mars 226:1) But you need to Land the Starship on Mars. Figures I found loosely about the dV of a Starhip fully tanked in LEO ranged from 6900 to 9000 m/s. To Land on Mars you'd need 4500-6000 m/s, so the payload size reduces by 2/3 for a powered landing of a starship. So I guess 0.5-2 tonnes of Mars-payload for a landed Starship would be a realistic number
@@nellym46664 This doesn't change the payload calculations in the slightest. Starting from LEO or starting from LLO. It only complicates the tanking of the Starhips after reaching LLO. Usually you'll need to launch 2 Starships in order to fully tank one. Now with Lunar insertion and circulations you may need idk ... 10? Let alone building factories on the moon. That will be a decades operation. Building the equipment there won't happen and would not even be easier for reaching Mars. Nice sci fi idea tho
100 years from now those robots will be put in a museum on Mars as a great reminder of their efforts to help us humans

A simpler system would be something like a pill-shaped hamster ball with long rubber gloves out the sides. This could be made with strong tempered glass so you'd walk inside to move while holding stationary handle bars on the inside, leaning left or right to make turns. It's not super agile but would be easy to build and probably fun to use.
Interesting, makes me want to learn more 👍
For communication and coordinates: I think the first step would be building a high orbit satellite network around Mars, providing communication and exact coordinates and maps at any point of the martian surface at all times.
Since descending from high orbit to low orbit and land takes up a lot of energy, it is actually a lot cheaper to move stuff into a high orbit around Mars than to the surface. Therefore, I believe that a network of space solar panels will also be built prior to landing. The space solar panels send the energy to the surface as microwaves. The colony and robots on the surface will simply have microwave-antennas absorbing the incoming microwave beams. These antennas are far more smaller, lighter and perfectly dust resilient, compared to solar panels.
In the long run, the best option for energy supply on Mars is probably a nuclear power plant, built with local materials. Since the crust of Mars contains far higher concentration of metals, I believe it shouldnt be too hard to find some Uranium or Thorium. If you drill deep enough, you will also find some water for the steam circle, if not, CO2 can also be used. For cooling, the atmosphere of Mars can also be used. A water body is not required, though water is naturally far more effective for cooling as the thin martian atmosphere.
what's your suggestion w/ the microwave power transmitters based on - any practical experience or vids about that? i like the idea, provided it works technologically, and question is, what is the falloff rate of the microwave power by the time it reaches the antennas, compared to solar panels, especially considering the various mars weather conditions / atmospheric changes.
@@themax2go Solar panels are far more effective in space than at the surface, especially on a high orbit or a polar orbit where they never cross the planet's shadow.
The technology, beaming energy from space solar panels down by micro-waves is already being hotly debated and definitely possible. The only problem is, it will never be economical for power generation on earth. People totally underestimate the cost of space travel. It is literally astronomical.

On Mars, the atmosphere is much thiner, making power transmission by microwaves even more economical. Only the higher distance to sun and the dust in the Marsian atmosphere are downsides. Still, far better than building solar panesl on the surface.
That was so cool!
Here comes the Sun...

And I say,
It's all right!
Awesome animations! The burning question is, how many launches will be needed to carry all those thousands of tonnes of heavy machinery? Are the current heavy-lifters from Space X configured to carry such loads?
If you watch Interviews with Mars experts from NASA, we are far more steps behind thinking about the number of space vehicles needed. There are still problems we don't have solutions for. The Starships would likely be to heavy to land on unprepared Martian ground and the distribution of mass and the idea of the current Starship designs we know of could not possibly be unloaded on Mars. The energy requirement for such a mission displayed in the video would require an enormous amount of energy. So 10 Starhips would be needed only for solar panels or small nuclear powerplants. The list goes on.
Hypothetically a fully Starship could take around 3-10 tonnes of payload to Mars (1,200t Fuel in a Starship, gear-ratio of Mars 226:1)
But you need to Land the Starship on Mars. Figures I found loosely about the dV of a Starhip fully tanked in LEO ranged from 6900 to 9000 m/s. To Land on Mars you'd need 4500-6000 m/s, so the payload size reduces by 2/3 for a powered landing of a starship. So I guess 0.5-2 tonnes of Mars-payload for a landed Starship would be a realistic number
I'm guessing the heavy machines, and perhaps everything else will have to be built on the moon and launched from there.
@@nellym46664 This doesn't change the payload calculations in the slightest. Starting from LEO or starting from LLO. It only complicates the tanking of the Starhips after reaching LLO. Usually you'll need to launch 2 Starships in order to fully tank one. Now with Lunar insertion and circulations you may need idk ... 10? Let alone building factories on the moon. That will be a decades operation. Building the equipment there won't happen and would not even be easier for reaching Mars. Nice sci fi idea tho
Can't wait for the next video
That looks like a way to go.
Super idea very nice 👍
Awesome video by the way 😊
Surviving Mars players: just like the simulations
Bro, this new dlc looks sick
Great video, can't wait for the next step :)
Love the depiction of the vanguard of humanity this Martian civilization represents
For once I thought do they need first volunteers to go mars...........am ready .....your explanation is truly inspirational
Impressive video!
Hope it will be so..
