  • Should we terraform Mars? How would we do it? Why would we do it? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice are here to break down the logistics of putting humans on the Red Planet. You’ll learn why, if we want to warm Mars out of permafrost, it would be a BYOGHG event. You’ll also learn about Elon Musk’s plan to warm up Mars. Chuck ponders the benefits of being a two-planet species. All that, plus, Neil explains why the day we have the power to terraform Mars is the same day we have the power to terraform Earth.

    when people talk about terraforming Mars everyone forgets that before you can give Mars an atmosphere you need to make the magnetic field stronger or the sun will just blow it all into space.

    • @Sol-Invictus

      Isaac Arthur explains all that and how it can be done but it's more likely favorable to live underground. He also brings up floating cities on Venus and that though very slow Venus is actually easier to terra-form. Even turning the asteroid belt into O'Neill cylinders and starting our Dyson swarm. Because if you can manage a LaGrange Point orbital magnetic field for a planet doing it for a cylinder is a cake walk. Of course all his futurism is centuries ahead mostly though amazingly based on real physics and technologies that are totally feasible. He'll explain warp drive or wormholes but also why they don't likely work out. So you use massive fusion lasers or beam energy from the swarm to the lasers and push ships toward slowing lasers pre-built by Von Neumann probes! Seriously hundreds of great videos and an honestly positive thinker.

      Not true. The atmosphere would bleed off over millions of years. If youve already slapped an atmosphere down in a generation or few human life times then this isn't an issue
      Mars today still has atmosphere left from when it had a magnetosphere 4 billion years ago. It's a slow process

      We shouldn’t Terraform Planets as any life that was adapted to the Environment of the Planet beforehand would be killed because they couldn’t survive in conditions that we could. We could’ve studied the life on that Planet and stuff but then we will it off. We also shouldn’t Terraform Planets because many places on those planets might be flooded and many cool sights that maybe people would wanna see would be flooded and to never be seen again. Also by the time we would have Terraformed a planet, That Planet mostly likely have hundreds of Millions of People Living on it. We could easily live in Contained Habitations and not Terraform the Planet. Terraforming would be useless. The Last Reason I think we shouldn’t Terraform Planets is because low Elevation cities could be flooded. We would have to evacuate possibly millions of people to do that! Ya these are my reasons we shouldn’t Terraform Planets.

    We are already in a big crash Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.

      Large rotating habitats. There’s a Japanese architecture firm that figured out a design that is the size of a 20-40 story bldg that looks like a wine glass. The rotating wine glass part is a wider angle on mars than there design for the moon in order to get the resulting gravity to be 1g. Should be wide enough that people, or most people, won’t get sea sick and the forces at peoples heads will be fairly close to what they experience at there feet. If only spend a 10 hour shift every day or every other day out on the surface doing exploration stuff you would not deteriorate as bad.
      In the short term they could put up a smaller system that is similar in concept, but maybe does not rotate as fast to get to .6 or .7 g. Or if it is small and moving very fast it might still be doable for 1 g but because the forces on peoples heads and feet would be to different it might make most sense to use for sleeping quarters and stationary exercise equipment where your body is mostly perpendicular to the center of the rotation where your head is not more that a few inches closer to the center.
      There is a carnival fair ride called the graviton that rotates fast enough to get to 3g. If you had a similar design on Mars to go from .38 to 1 g it would be rotating much slower and as long as you were laying down and not up walking across the center most people probably would not get supper sea sick.

    Something people don’t seem to get:
    The reason people talk about colonizing Mars in response to climate change on Earth is because no one owns Mars.
    Yes, it would be technically much harder to terraform Mars than it would be to reverse global warming here on Earth. But there are no POLITICAL barriers to terraforming Mars.
    So it’s a commentary on just how irreconcilable our politics are that people are discussing colonization of Mars as a solution to climate change. The engineering challenge on Mars, as difficult and expensive as it would be, seems infinitely more achievable than cutting through political challenges here at home. That’s the reason...and it’s terribly depressing that we’ve reached that point.

    Without a barrier to cosmic rays any atmosphere will relatively quickly disappear. The inflatable diapole to create a magnetic field to push away cosmic rays looks interesting. There is co2 coming from Mars all the time which explains why it has any atmosphere. If the cosmic rays are blocked the atmosphere will build and temperatures will rise (by 4C annually initially).
