Just think: there is decent % chance that a human living today will live for 1mil or even 1bil years. IF they're young enough, and within next 75yrs we 'crack' the secrets to biochem augmented memory storage (IE in a 'hard drive'), even if its bulky/crude but extends life 50-75yrs; well the tech will drastically advance in that timeframe...allowing longer lifetimes (and better tech/cloning/mind storage)...fast forward and the person doesn't die from senescence-related diseases/issues (IE old age, cancers, immune system issues, etc.) THIS ALSO means that a person is living NOW that will live long enough to not just visit many planets/moons (and indeed other solar systems); but they'll probably live long enough to us 'uplift' our Earthly 'cousins' (IE dogs, raccoons, chimps, etc)...
This Lesser (potentially Great) Filter could be surpassed any year now: it wouldn't be a black swan event...we are actively PREDICTING all the implications of it; but it would be such a paradigm shift that it'd prob be greater than all other previous achievements (together). Depending on what is involved: it may be that the method for storing consciousness/memories artificially MAY NOT be all that difficult/$$$. Look how fast Personal PC tech exploded in 80s/90s: by 2010s a high % of people in developed world had internet access (thanks to smartphones too). SO, 20-40yrs from discovery of the tech/methodology...to getting it in hands of majority of humans. If you're under 40-50yrs old now (2024), you could easily witness us discover it...and live long enough to reap fruits of that. ...Yet people are squabbling over stupid stuff: rather than focusing on 'removing' the authoritarians/tyrants/oppressors that are holding humanity back.

The fact that photochemistry is still confusing black magic to a lot of the scientific community, the fact that we're discovering strange compounds in space makes sense to me. Stuff tends to act differently when constantly bombarded with ionizing solar and cosmic radiation all the time.
Look up a phase diagram for water. It's not just solid, liquid, gas. The solid phase of water has 21 different crystalline structures (that we've discovered so far). We only know about them because water is ubiquitous and critical for life, so it's been investigated thoroghly. Now think of _every other molecular compound in existence._ If we spent as much time investigating those as we do water, we'd probably find that each one of those has a similarly complicated phase diagram. And this is just crystalline phases. There is soooo much we don't know.

Going from dwelling in caves to space flight and planetary colonization only to have to be finding a good cave to hide in again. Lions and tigers and meteorites......
Planetary colonisation is a fantasy. I don't expect it to happen. There is nothing AI and automation can not do in space and which is safer and cheaper than people. How how a colonist pay for the billions of $ and ginormous amounts of energy needed to get there and to stay there enclosed in energy hungry bubbles? Gig work and waitressing will not cut it or really any occupation you can think of. Think how expensive ISS is and that for only a few people and only a few hundred km above earth and not tens of millions of km. A Martian colony would be a money pit for nothing in return.
like we went from arrows to bullets as projectiles. humans have patterns of approaching different problems. i guess to some advanced aliens we would appear super predictable
Only just over 200 years from the first powered machinery to global interconnection and the JWST. I don't think we really lived in caves much. It's just where stuff was found. It's extremely unwise to light a fire in a cave. Those that did were gambling their Darwinian survival odds.
Contrary to popular belief, humans actually historically avoided caves. For 2 important reasons. 1) Bears live in caves. 2) Fire actually consumes oxygen. And so if they lived in an enclosed, sheltered, cave and attempted to warm themselves with fire they would subsequently suffocate in their sleep.
Luckily, these lions and tigers are not that much of a danger on Mars, until the giant fearsome mars bear appears (which is green I have heard). I would like to add that caves might collapse. I don't think a cave on Mars would protect from e meteorite strike.

People often tell me that these explorations are a waste of money. They cannot understand the relevance to their daily lives. One can argue that the milions spend on space exploration are a waste of valuable resources and could have been put to better use. But I believe that explorations and discoveries are an "evolutionary catapult" that moves civilization forward. It has been like this since the beginning of mankind. We do not have a choice in this matter. Everything in nature needs to move forward to stay alive. Without progression degradation follows. Thank you Anton. Wonderful person. You are very gifted in creating a vivid picture and making sense of scientific explorations. Your voice isn't bad either. Most of the time I just let the video run while doing menial tasks at night or during the early morning hours. Right now it is 05h59 Southern Africa.
Hi Anton! This was wonderful! Such a rich and complete treat! What an amazing collection of discoveries! As usual clearly explained . Astonishing images and animations! A beautiful lesson! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤❤ it sould be fantastic having some software simulating Mars sound distortions… 😅❤
We need Ornithopter's!! Also, I love your videos! Always interesting and educational! And your passion shows!! You're definitely one of the best science communicators on RUclips!! ❤
Even if the holes turn out to be just pits, they would be helpful: make a tunnel horizontally at the bottom to create a protected habitat. Saves you from digging vertically.
The hole first shown was "Jeanne" near Arsia Mons, and I am writing a story where robots and "engineered people" just dived to the bottom and digged horizontally to create habitats!
Still I think that helicopter blades would be more efficient than artificial bee wings, because helicopter blades can turn at a constant speed, while bee wings have to change direction and rather than spinning they "shake" up and down.
Huh that sound discovery is almost mind-blowing I can totally imagine a discussion between Bill Burr and Shaq O'Neal xD Bill Burr: Hiya'how'you'doing Shaq: HEEEEYAAAAA WAAAA'SUUUUUP MAAAAAAN
In 1994, a hiker with botanical knowledge stumbled over a small grove of trees (gymnosperms), hidden in a canyon, approximately 200 kilometres from Sydney in the sparsely inhabited region of the Blue Mountains. But these were no ordinary trees, but incredibly a living fossil; "Wollemia noblis" or the Wollemi pine. This tree (thought extinct by botanists, with fossil specimins), was last thought alive 160 million years ago (in the Jurassic) before their chance discovery. These trees are incredibly rare; are only about 46 wild adult trees remaining (the rest are cultivated). The point I am making that if something as complex as a tree can cling onto existance through that period of time, through all the climate changes that must have happened to South-Eastern Australia by well over 100 million years, then surely some form of ancient life has survived on Mars. Not a tree obviously, but perhaps a bacterium?
Thank you Anton for the great content you keep on giving!!! May i ask: what is the explanation of the rectangular blops on 8:36 mainly on the bottom right? resolution issues?
There are lava tubes on Earth despite the relatively heavy gravity and on the Moon which has a bit less than half Mars' gravity. It would be surprising if Mars didn't have them.
Wait a minute, are you saying that if aliens come, we might not be able to understand their speech, not just because of the language, but because they have evolved in other environments where sounds are transmitted differently?
I mean according to UFO reports, grey aliens chirp like birds but can speak to people mostly fine through telepathy. It's actually very interesting how historically most alleged paranormal phenomenon also utilizes telepathy.
Mars Bees should use super capacitors instead of batteries as they have a higher density per kilogram. They have a downside of a higher volume than batteries, but as Mars has low air density the increased air-drag should be minimal.
Stable lava tubes would be ideal :/ But if we mine the heck out of the moon we may be able to send some heavy mining equipment and dig our own holes :)
It'd be fun to hear a simulation of what music would sound like on Mars, but I forgot how low the pressure is there! Sound in general would be pretty attenuated as well as high frequency attenuated, but mainly it'd be barely audible since the pressure is closer to vacuum than atmosphere! Meanwhile you'd be dodging meteorites ...so much for "For All Mankind"! (which I really liked) Speaking of perchlorate salts, man! Us pyrotechnomaniacs would have a ball! ;*[} Very thought provoking, thanks Anton - cheers.
I've literally been posting about water flowing from a porous crater wall since 1997 in the HiRise data, but no agency ever took me up on a discussion, other than stating "there's no water on Mars" almost every time. I shouldn't say everyone ignored it, a European magazine saw my post and put the location on on a magazine cover, in 1997 and I had good responses in Reddit until the mods would delete the posts. Anyway, if anyone is interested let me know. The photos are pretty clear, as is the erosion and areas of evaporation. I even tried contacting Musk just to have them look at the area as a potential settlement site, but I wasn't able to get a message to him. Edit due to typo.
Great video Anton. Nice to have some newer information re: Olympus Mons. Thanks. Odd why the speed of sound is so noticeably different from Earth, interesting differences in the Martian atmosphere with respect to sound propogation; perhaps.
Yeahhh Nahhh, they're real spiders mate ! Bloody big ones too ! They're part of the Aussie space program, we've got too many of the bugga's down here ya see 👍 cheers🍻
Here's an idea, I'm sure someone had thought of. Take a few mini nuclear power plants, put them on a mobile trailer charging station, with ai controlled arm for hard wire plug in, and wireless charging pads for drones. Pulled by an autonomous ai using gps satellites, and powered by the trailer. Bam portable power station. Charging solar panel cleaning bots or as a backup power station for the base.
Since Mars had lots of water in the distant past, but lacked a magnetic field, photolysis would have resulted in a period when Mars' atmosphere was filled with various reactive oxygen radicals as all the water on the surface was photodissociated, the hydrogen escaping at once and the oxygen hanging around to react with the minerals on the surface. I think that explains the manganese oxide quite well.
I really feel like Mars is still in a developmental stage for life. It's just taking longer because of it's position to the sun, it's mass, and geological/meteorological composition.... Let's be humans, interfere, and speed it up. :)
Feels so surreal being able to watching so many videos and pics of a totally different and isolated world
And I remember when Olympus Mons was measured as the largest Valcano in the solar system. Measurement has become more precise since the 1970's and '80's. Great work.
Nowhere near as isolated as having to get to one in another solar system thousands of light years away.

THIS ALSO means that a person is living NOW that will live long enough to not just visit many planets/moons (and indeed other solar systems); but they'll probably live long enough to us 'uplift' our Earthly 'cousins' (IE dogs, raccoons, chimps, etc)...
This Lesser (potentially Great) Filter could be surpassed any year now: it wouldn't be a black swan event...we are actively PREDICTING all the implications of it; but it would be such a paradigm shift that it'd prob be greater than all other previous achievements (together).
