We won't live to 2050 sadly. I predict all human life will die out midway through 2040 about the time that global warming starts to make a very noticeable impact.
67 these days is young! My dad's 77 and still thriving, I know a hand full of people who are 90 - 100 years of age, too. Plus all this news about anti aging technology coming around in the next 15 years!
I bet it's less than 6 years out. We'll have orbital flights of prototype starship this year. Probably get some flights around the moon next year. People to the moon the year after that. Might get some supply missions to Mars in that time. Then probably before 2026 people will land on Mars.
Leaving a project like this to politicians is a recipe for failure. Evidence? Check out NASA / Boeing heavy lift rocket. It’s already cost billions and there’s nothing to show for it. Meantime SpaceX has bee re using boosters and their heavy list is almost ready.

Problem with goverments running something like this is also political problems and that ego would get the best of them. Yes private companies are for the money but at least their actions can be made much faater compared to goverment. Hopefully elon and all the other private space exploration companies can get this mars mission soon

@@stargazer9035 yeah, frankly my original plan was only till 2029 - because by then the first experimental ships should have landed on mars and returned : and more importantly artificial intelligence would have hit singularity by then ..

@Awakening Blacksheep, yes once, life existed on Mars, after the rock was thrown down from Mars, which was part of an infinity ♾ super highway, as you’ve stated dust devils, clean the fallen vast amounts from dust storms, their instantaneous, mars core is a compact of hot Ice and core lava, but unlike earth the oxygen is filled with harsh gases. The dream to Mars would first have to realign there interwoven core, to do that your application can only be done with droid assistance, similar to drilling on a meteor, fascinating thing about Mars is the places not on surface but within side it’s amazing tunnel system, and incredible dust cleaning devils that crackle and move with splintered strikes three other planets, were also placed amongst the highways that are also inhabitable, between our asteroid belt and what’s known as Kuiper belt, the transportation was created through technology, that was hidden over billions of years when the earth was a called Ghia, and would eventually suffer a extinction event, that would recover the crust and expand earth, that would later be logged as new Earth. In other words planetary rock formations cast upon earth, and Ocean its a bigger reality of what the shattering actually represents is the hidden birth’ of our sun, whenever the nebulous (creation stones) appear on earth they also light up the belts, Even Oort Cloud, in Trojan asteroids.

"We are in the very early days right now, but the seed for life on mars has already been sown." Don't know why, but that sentence just really struck me.
You do understand what happens when seeds are sown in a desert with no breathable air, right? Emotional videos are nice entertainment but living on Mars is going to take knowledge, education, political will, and over $1 trillion dedicated to make it happen. So far, our species is far behind on all four. And no one is even talking about the maintenance costs.
@@owatahfuhlaiyem4776 Exactly, that's why it will be a magnificent endeavor!

There may be human visitation to mars, but there will be no terraforming. First, no amount of nuclear explosions will produce a dense atmosphere on mars. The gas makeup of the atmosphere is already 95.32% carbon dioxide, 2.6% nitrogen, and 1.9% argon, with trace amounts of water vapor, oxygen, carbon monoxide and hydrogen. If you are expecting to boost temperatures by raising carbon dioxide levels, think again. Earth's level is 400 parts per million. Second, any increase in atmospheric pressure will be quickly lost to the solar winds due to the fact that mars has no magnetic field and insufficient gravity to prevent it. Third, the soil on mars is loaded with extremely toxic levels of perchlorates. Good for making fuel, not so great for growing tomatoes. While there are a few microbes on earth that can survive and flourish in it, it would kill plants and humans alike that were subjected to it, so good luck with stripping the oxygen atoms off of carbon dioxide to create a breathable atmosphere. The plants on the earth are responsible for the fact that we have free oxygen atoms in the air and water so that we can breath (despite the energetic nature of oxygen and it's tendency to quickly bond with other elements), and likewise responsible for the fact that our atmosphere is only 400 part per million CO2 . Fourth, since the planet has no magnetic field, the amount of solar and cosmic radiation would kill everyone and everything that was openly exposed to it. The only solution to this would be going underground, or building domes with a water barrier or some other means to stop the radiation. I could go on, but why bother? If you have to build a fortified structure to survive in, why not just build in space?
Domes like these are impossible to maintain considering the harsh weather, literal stone storms and the frequent mars-quakes rupturing any kind of solid (stone) foundation. If you wanted to use domes, you would need to build everything on flexible fixings and joins, cover the entire thing with rubber like material sheets where objects can simply exert their inertia and / or bounce off from, and not just use tiles for the domes but honeycomb like multi-layer ceilings that support a network of many chamber like auto-sealing segments not unlike giant cardiac valves. You need a flexible design to avoid fissures and fractures anytime there is a tremor. You need the honeycomb for stability, shielding to especially catch objects that managed punching through, and as temperature regulating isolation layer. There are also materials known for some level of self-healing / self-sealing capabilities in case of small level penetrations that can be used with this type of structure. simply gluing holes shut is a lot easier, too. Furthermore, heat-buildup and the possibility to silicon spray-paint layers into solar-cells could also help with the energy situation. Even storing energy through static charges alike film capacitors could be possible. And using pressure based purely mechanical auto-sealing segments, would greatly limit the consequence of an accident or environmental incident, allowing for the structure itself to survive even if parts are damaged or lost. Furthermore, using plastics and rubber means using carbon chains, or in other words mostly Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen with at least the first two already present in abundance on Mars - Hydrogen is a bit more difficult to come by, but it does exists in water and some hydrated minerals. Also, using comb like hollow structures greatly reduces the quantity of material required. 3D printed Mars-dirt objects have three main issues: 1. Where to get the lubricant that allows creating the sludge ? 2. How to build walls that protect against the harsh weather, the climate and survive the tremors ? It would have to be very thick, and less rock than fiber for that. 3. How to isolate the whole thing for a breathable environment ? Mars tunnels or anything underground would have to be of wall-detached build, or be placed in a region with very little in the way to ground shifts and quakes. Working through the ground also would require a lot of energy, come with wear and tear for drilling equipment, and have a high potential of destroying possible finds on Mars.
Or rather, “marsquakes?" Quakes on Earth happen many times a day, largely due to continental plates shifting as they float on the mantle below. That’s called “plate tectonics.” Mars doesn’t seem to have plate tectonics, but other things can make the ground shake too, like: or even meteorite impacts.
No matter what happens... It will be a pivotal moment for humanity. A great step towards immunity to Earthbound disasters. I'm thinking it will no doubt be hard at first but once we have a sustainable setup on Mars it will be easier as time goes on. Amazing stuff.... Fascinating to think of.
We cant survive on the mars surface, without a spacesuit you'd be dead in a matter seconds. Plus the gravity is very low at 38% of earths gravity so that and the 5-7 month flight there will make your body significantly weaker. Even if they do get the travel there faster I still dont think it will be possible to live there
No dude it’s fucked. The colonies would Hve to cycle every few years or their bones and organs would degrade over time. The gravity isn’t heavy enough for earthlings. There is a reason we evolved on earth
Great video! Just one little science thing: its not the atmosphere that protects us from the radiation, it is the magnetosphere generated by earth's spinning core. The core of Mars is dormant so it does not generate the magnetosphere we need for protection.
then we need to pull in to mars orbit a moon,, or even a little at a time bits of asteroid to create a moon to create tidal pull on mars. with a large enough moon there will be a liquid core on mars.
Mars colonists will live shorter life spans, likely dying of cancer. I also don't think exposure to the lower gravity on along term basis will be healthy either, new health problems will arise from that. The colonists are essentially volunteering to be lab rats, in an experiment that will ultimately prove that we can't live off Earth very easily. It will go down in history as a tragic, failed experiment.
@@peterbelanger4094 even if that were the case and it is a one way trip, I would absolutely volunteer, it would be very similar to the early explorers that set out to find new worlds over the ocean not yet discovered by the current civilization that they grew up in, A chance at the true Pioneer life,

Life on earth is a blessing compared to living anywhere else in deep space. it would take at least 100 years before mars would become habitable on earth standard even then gravity will be an issue nobody knows the long-term effect of low gravity. Anyways it will be interesting to see people living on Mars in the future.

It's insane how talking about this is becoming the norm and now it seems very possible. Just a few years ago we would have never thought this would be a real project.
Great video! But I would think they are going to use Nuclear Power instead of Solar Cells or Hydrogen. Elon is positive about using Nuclear Power on earth, so I would think that is relevant for Mars. Also, I wold like to hear your opinion on government system on Mars. Will nations claim territories or will it be a new government?
Long term yes, but not for a good long while. That is neither easy to set up nor something you want to mess around with till a large population is there and the infrastructure and such is around as well.
“Mostly figured out.” OMG that statement is beyond absurd. Very little of what it takes to get humans anywhere near Mars has been figured out. Even if SpaceX can manage to get them there in good physical and mental health, the challenges have only just begun.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it as many times as it takes before people start repeating it: The whole point of planetary colonization is to hedge our bets against extinction. The more planets we occupy, the more the end of THE world becomes the end of A world. Given the fact that we’re NOT going to meet our climate goals, we need to go while the going is good.
It would still be easier to live on a toxic earth than a perfectly planned Mars. A better argument might be that it is in our nature to explore and expand our horizon. It is our destiny. Without explorers we would never have left Africa.
we need to come up with artificial lungs which can capture CO2 and give out O2 to the people who will visit Mars in the near future, This can happen very soon if we gonna borrow a leaf and study the way an air condition work so that once we achive this kind of divice the travellers will use them when they arrive in the planet mars . This divices will be set and be fixed in the home states and in the living homes for the people to use during there stay in the mars. Am optimistic that it will happen sooner than later. The Good Mighty God will give his people wisdom and knowledge to overcome the challanges a head.
What might be a good idea is: They generate energy from the solar panels to other sets of solar panels which will store energy underground and reserve the work of cleaning to their journey.
Talking about energy on Mars; you didn't even bring up the most obvious solution. Nuclear reactors. We already make small portable safe nuclear reactors. We use them on submarines and some surface vessels. As far as solar panels go, if the panels were mounted on solar tracking devices, they could easily be instructed to turn all the way over occasionally to dump off dust.
however, remember that fission reactors need fuel. Uranium may be hard to find on Mars due to the lack of active tectonic processes over the past (very very large number) years. So it may be dependent on a supply from Earth, while fusion power gets developed. And that would need, what, deuterium?
Saw a whole lecture on the difficulties and dangers of procreation and giving birth on Mars. It was suggested, children on Mars was unlikely in any early stages of any colonisation. Longer term, issues of fertility reduction due to higher radiation levels and the whole physiology of gestation/ fetal development and childbirth may be complicated for humans in low gravity.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people who love solving problems. It wasn't long ago that most people thought that flying would be impossible. Now we consider it cheap mass transit.
@Tron Jockey for all practical purposes, simulated gravity is equal to gravity. If you spend 24/7 in 1G, it doesn't matter if you are on Earth, on Mars, or floating around in a space station. We're going to have to do some genetic engineering to make living in other environments work. Being dependent on a centrifuge is just too limiting. We are not built for space as we are. Fortunately, there are things we can do about that.
Thank you for making this video. It’s honest and (mostly) free of fanboy trope… which makes it a breath of fresh (Earth) air in the Mars dream-space. Keep goin’!
@@ponternal it would be allot of domes not one and tunnels would shutoff acces when a dome is breached. The dome itself would have to be made of very strong materials to combat the radiation

i feel like under ground would probably be the main place for living for the UV protections and stuff but there would be domes with basically nature preserves with trees, flower, and foliage an stuffffff
Agreed. For basic tasks like eating and sleeping it just doesnt make sense to expose yourself to that unnecessary radiation. Above ground habitations will likely be for scientific experiments, socializing, and when people just want to get some natural sunlight.
@@andrew6846 yep that's why I think its crazy when they have those hypothetical habitats with everything above ground that just doesn't make any sense to me
as a person who has spent years studying information like this I love your approach to informing the masses about what " could" be done on Mars but the truth of the matter is that we are so much farther along with space exploration and colonization than is being discussed here. but good for you for trying to get people interested...I get it most folks won't believe a tiny fraction of what's actually going on out there.
Happy to see ppl with common sense that can see that Musk ideas on Mars colonization are more like dreams than reality Only when we truly master a terraformation tecnology we will be able to live on anothers bodies on space. Like our Moon, really promising, more than Mars lol, Mars and Venus, not so much promising, but who knows
The domes can be built with the materials available on Mars. Underground living won't be so bad once there is sufficient area on the surface to spend time. "Windows" can be wall monitors that have a video feed, either of Marscapes or Earthscapes. Living areas can increase in size as the settlers finish up necessary support projects.
The dangerous levels in the soil of Mars runs miles deep and cannot be made uncontaminated of radiation.. If Humans were to ever make it there,they will die in a very seriously compromised way.. either the radiation from traveling Or the radiation saturated soil and lack of proper osmosis system vital for sustaining human life... not to mention new illness we won't have the research facilities to treat them.. Humans were never intended to dwell on another celestial body and live aside the very soil God created us from..read God's holy word... you will see..
I think the underground habitation is very underrated. If you look at places like Dubai, or many of the most developed cities, people spend 99% of the day inside a building or a vehicle. When we think "underground" we associate damp and dark, cold and depressing, but if you're inside a giant mall, you are not outside but it's one of the favorite places of many people. You could make solar lamps designed to reproduce the sun's effect and which would help maintain circadian rhythms. Then there's the availability of the underground, it's thought that there are natural tunnels resulting from the cooling of magma. You might not even need to build much to get set up. Underground you're protected from the solar radiation and from the toxic and dangerous marsian dirt. You also remove the risk of a catastrophic destruction of the domes which could kill people and cost a lot of money. All in all, it seems to me that an underground city might not be the sexiest idea, but it's by far the easier/most efficient way to build a Martian colony.
they could also drill some tunnels and put in place some sort of secure skylights for some natural sunlight and mirrors could possibly be used to spread the light around or channel it into the skylights... so many thoughts on what could be done.
i am voluntarily willing to stay in planet Mars and live for the rest of my life to contribute what would life will be living in another planet, but im 60 yrs old now.
Well , you and probably a million of other people who feel the same about wanting to live on Mars might want to research the 1/3 of earth gravity mars has and the negative effect it will certainly have on an earthly body which could shorten its life span by decades ending with a very sickly few years before dying .
@@benjaminanderson7066 That would be nice, but then there is the results of the astronauts who have lost bone and muscle mass after just months(and two hours a day of exercise)of stay on the International Space Station and so the same will probably happen but slower on Mars since it has at least one third the gravity of earth .
want to know what life is like on mars? go to the dryest desert on earth, and you can only get supplies every 7 months and you have to wear a suit to protect you from the elements outside and live inside a dome. You think a million people are going to want to live like that? Why would they?
As for Mars gravity, perhaps as a part of the colony there could be some large spinning centrifuge buildings (think spinning space stations or those carnival rides) built such that the effective 'down' is Earth normal. Could be used for hospitals, gyms, schools, etc. so that a Mars based population had access to Earth normal conditions for at least a portion of their daily lives.
thats an important question. We have a lot of data at 1G (earth) and a lot of data at 0G (ISS) but we have almost no data for anywhere in between. Would a couple hours per day at 1G be helpful on Mars? Would it do more harm than good? These are things we will only learn through experience.
I found a video on the Spacedock channel that goes over the adjustments for a Lunar Centrifuge. Mars would be a bit different, but the idea would be the same. Look on Spacedock for "How to Create Gravity on the Moon" (2018), but essentially you've got to calculate (not my forte) the needed spin. Essential to your criticism however, you also need to angle the floor of the centrifuge so the the combination of the Spin and Natural Gravity result in a proper 'down' at the desired Earth normal.
@@jasonp.1195 I thought the very same things as what you wrote in your OC and reply. (Btw, this is the only silly-free thread among the several dozen I've read through here. Kinda like the only cute girl at the party.)
pressurized co2 would be easier to use for cleaning the ultra-fine dust from the panels. nearly nonexistent moisture means the dust won't "stick", and the low gravity further reduces the problems concerning weight of the dust keeping it in place on the surfaces. using the negative pressure caused by the moving CO2 to suck dust away from an adjacent panel is a plus to this design idea.
Not sure if you are totally on top of this, seeing that even mastery of the shift key is beyond your powers. A touch more seriously, pressurized co2/CO2 (are they the same thing?) would blow the dust off, right? What exactly would prevent it from then merely drifting over and settling on the panel just cleared?
when i was very young i remember very detailed vision of being and living on mars, it is my destiny to go there. i hope elon can hurry up we can both work to change the world together
Actually Mars has a very high temperature range so when we talk about the average temperature is - 60°C is actually the average temperature in Ecuador during the day considering the seasons and the hemispheres. It depends a lot on these last two factors the temperature on Mars. In summer in Ecuador it reaches a maximum of 30° C (usually between 10 and 20°C). While the night this same temperature in summer drops a lot, to the average of negative 60. In an icy winter in the northern hemisphere the temperature can reach -100° C and there is not much variation between day and night.
First, I assume you mean the Equator (of Mars) not Ecuador (whatever that is) and Earth's atmosphere and oceans help moderate temperature fluctuations and the lack of both on Mars would mean that those fluctuations would cause considerable problems with material damage and durability!
I just wonder how living at 38% of Earth's gravity could be possible. Wouldn't that have very serious, damaging consequences to our bodies? How do we overcome that? We are adaptive but evolution never had to tackle such problem before.
well, gotta put in the factors of innovations and inventions before this actually happens, maybe we got breakthroughs to solving most problems... such AI which also be our downfall
When this earth is all destroyed by us like creating different kinds of sicknesses, bombs, hates and sorts of craziness, Mars will start to look like a dream home. It will be a mars dream....
The kind of people that create all the bad things on Earth, will more than likely be the kind of people that would also go to Mars to create the same stuff.
I know I'm getting old when all I think about when I think about 0 or less gravity is how great my back would feel and how it probably wouldn't hurt anymore lol (I just turned 30)
Your back should be the least of your concerns. Without gravty, or with low gravity, you muscles would atrophy and you'd die! Even astronaughts on the ISS can't stay there for more than 6 months without serious health consequences.

I would love to experience the new planet evolution to discover the possibilities could live more longer life’s in the Mars cuz no pollution. Underground wow! 🤩 👏🏼🙏🏻 you Elon 😍
Whether or not it's a nice place to live, early on, depends on your plan. Obviously, you need to setup habitats. I strongly advocate a low tech rural Maritain colonization strategy. Start with a smelter/foundry and metal shop. Build the habitats from iron/nickel sheet metal (corrugated) in the same way shipping containers are made, except wider with an overhanging roof, covered in a foot or two of regolith (to shield). So the smelter could use solar concentrators to heat a titanium crucible. You can make hydrochloric acid from water and salt (both plentiful on Mars) to pickle the metal before running it through rollers to make sheet metal... folder and re-running as desired for increased impact strength. Then corrugate. Us flat sheet metal over and under the corrugated sheet to make a stiff floor, and under the corrugated sheet on the ceiling, to hold the weight of regolith on top. As for welding, Mars has so little oxygen that you should be able to merely rub the metal together a few times then merely apply pressure for a cold weld. If that doesn't work, weld it traditionally.. no big deal. Use wind turbines for power. yes, the blades would need to be very broad. However, the wind is typically arount 15 mph consistently night and day -- much more during a dust storm. This predictability means you can design for it without risk. The metal shop should be able to build the turbines using a wire mill, any insultator (corn husks would work), and permanent magnets (made by running DC current through red hot iron, as it cools). These magnets could also be used to levitate the shaft, producing a highly efficient brushless shaft. This will work great in dust storms, too. So I'd use hand blown glass bricks for windows. You can wet them to the iron for an air tight seal but it'd be better to make a plasticized plastic as the seal, instead... safer against Mars quakes. I'd build a large rectangular structure with workshops and common areas in the corners, one large wind turbine over each corner, housing between, and a big green house in the center (slanted roof made of rectangular (on top) and triangular (on the sides) glass bricks. The bricks should have water in them, to provide shielding. Windows on the sides of the housing units will look either out toward the martian landscape or in toward the gardens. The gardens should have lemon trees (as a cleaning agent) plus sweet potatos (can eat leaves and potatos), kale, and other various vegetables, corn, and grapes. Fish are also a good idea. I would put a waterfall, stream, and pond for both the fish and people to swim in... with a little beach to recreation. Also, crickets can be used to eat up the unusable vegetation to either make protein bars (blending and shaping) and/or feed chickens. Human poo should be baked before working into garden soils, to avoid pathogen contamination. Actually, a water treatment system could be easily built. The first compartment has algae to consume and clean, a slanted pipe slants upward to move clean water into the next tank from which it is sanitized. You can use chlorine (from local salts) or distill it. I prefer distillation into water holding tanks up high.... these would feed the waterfall, sinks, showers, and toilets. After perhaps about 3 to 6 months of work, you would have a nice village with the start of crops. The old work you'd have to do is gardening, cooking/dishes, light industries (making and repairing clothes, etc) and general maintenance for the electrical, water, and air systems. So you will begin exploration, sports, music, etc.... live happily. You may also want to expand the habitat. By the time you have children, you will want to expand or make a new habitat some distance away. Everything you used to build this colony could be replicated at this colony to build yet another. You need start with only 25 mating pairs (50 settlers) for sufficient genetic diversity to build a vast human population. However, that is an over estimate for the human species, just a general rule for animal species in general. There are human populations that have traditionally only married off first cousins for thousands of years....
So Space X plans to colonize mars on a planet with no oxygen and limited resources. We would have to bring everything with us to live. If this plans happens I would be amazed. So we are doing this, just to say we can? Or is this the ultimate challenge for man? To terraform a section of Mars so we can use some of its resources and actually live there long term.
I always imagined a concept that we could seal off the Valles Marineris and form a small biosphere within it. Heat and light emitted artificially from the high ceiling mimicking conditions on Earth.
Life on earth is a blessing compared to living anywhere else in deep space. Actually Mars has a very high temperature range so when we talk about the average temperature is - 60°C is actually the average temperature in Ecuador during the day considering the seasons and the hemispheres. It depends a lot on these
Mine told me at 2.5 that she wanted to build rocketships and raise dinosaurs in space... Musk let's be believe in her dreams more than my parents could ever believe mine....
Humans on Mars will mutate quickly into a different species. Martians. Unless there is a 1G environment for daytime activities. Mars is actually a harsh place to try and live. Vast underground caves could be filled with air and plants and lakes and rivers to make a pleasant environment. But for everyday living 1G is essential. It requires a large wheel creating artificial gravity. Ideally underground

You almost never hear futurist/Mars talk involving SMR's or advanced nuclear technologies...not because the science isn't worth discussing, but because nuclear is not where the bulk of private industry/investors, startup culture folks, and environmental activists are these days. Governments control/centralize/regulate nuclear resources mostly, and to thus to an extent one could say put high entry costs around nuclear innovation or just make it less sexy...and so it is sort of a clash of ideologies more than a debate around the science. People have known about thorium reactors for years and yet you see just about nothing happen with them. Same thing about the Helium 3 on the far side of the moon...totally worth factoring in to most of these predictions. But no one has a bunch of H3 to play with. Conversely, solar gains efficiency at incredible pace each year and folks are still finding lots of room to improve wind systems...so that is why you will often literally just see a lot more of solar/wind renewables discussed in these predictions.
I been there before everything he doing is right, in the 90 I keep visit mars and didn't know that is call mars until I told my co worker name yohanna , I was for agostino antique on 11 st on Broadway.

Yes we visit the Land there is a Life there the dog , discover , water and many materials we need most . 2 .

@@andrewmorton395 I think the goal is to make humanity a multiplanetary species and Mars is just the first stepping stone. Life will be tough for early settlers but I think as technology improves and infrastructure is built up, life could eventually be pretty comfortable on Mars.
An idea of underground structures is on the side of a mountain/hill so that the tunnels go into it and there is still a window on ever tunnel looking out and the top could be covered in solar panels
@@oldplucker1 What about just putting on heavy clothing or space suits to compensate. The space suits could be lead coated in a leaded paint layer to also screen out radiation. The clothing inside domes or tunnels could be made of heavy material but probably no lead as to much lead can be toxic
@@grgmetube Good idea but...... that is just exercise. It is the work the heart has to do to pump blood up from the feet to the heart and up to the head and round again roughly twice a minute that keeps the heart strong. So the horizontal big wheel Accommodation idea is the only option I can see. Spend most of the waking hours in 1G but maybe sleep in Mars G. I suggest stopping the wheel at night maybe or even having sleeping quarters underground. The problem is that these projects need very big thinkers like me to correct misconceptions and show how success can truly be achieved. The engineering is relatively simple but the scale is big. There is no way for humans to colonise Mars or Space without 1G. Pass the message on and get people to contact me. They need to really understand this otherwise going to Mars is just going to be another short term jolly.

The dream to Mars would first have to realign there interwoven core, to do that your application can only be done with droid assistance, similar to drilling on a meteor, fascinating thing about Mars is the places not on surface but within side it’s amazing tunnel system, and incredible dust cleaning devils that crackle and move with splintered strikes three other planets, were also placed amongst the highways that are also inhabitable, between our asteroid belt and what’s known as Kuiper belt, the transportation was created through technology, that was hidden over billions of years when the earth was a called Ghia, and would eventually suffer a extinction event, that would recover the crust and expand earth, that would later be logged as new Earth. In other words planetary rock formations cast upon earth, and Ocean its a bigger reality of what the shattering actually represents is the hidden birth’ of our sun, whenever the nebulous (creation stones) appear on earth they also light up the belts, Even Oort Cloud, in Trojan asteroids.

"not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win"
-John F. Kennedy
There may be human visitation to mars, but there will be no terraforming.
First, no amount of nuclear explosions will produce a dense atmosphere on mars. The gas makeup of the atmosphere is already 95.32% carbon dioxide, 2.6% nitrogen, and 1.9% argon, with trace amounts of water vapor, oxygen, carbon monoxide and hydrogen. If you are expecting to boost temperatures by raising carbon dioxide levels, think again. Earth's level is 400 parts per million.
Second, any increase in atmospheric pressure will be quickly lost to the solar winds due to the fact that mars has no magnetic field and insufficient gravity to prevent it.
Third, the soil on mars is loaded with extremely toxic levels of perchlorates. Good for making fuel, not so great for growing tomatoes. While there are a few microbes on earth that can survive and flourish in it, it would kill plants and humans alike that were subjected to it, so good luck with stripping the oxygen atoms off of carbon dioxide to create a breathable atmosphere. The plants on the earth are responsible for the fact that we have free oxygen atoms in the air and water so that we can breath (despite the energetic nature of oxygen and it's tendency to quickly bond with other elements), and likewise responsible for the fact that our atmosphere is only 400 part per million CO2 .
Fourth, since the planet has no magnetic field, the amount of solar and cosmic radiation would kill everyone and everything that was openly exposed to it. The only solution to this would be going underground, or building domes with a water barrier or some other means to stop the radiation.
I could go on, but why bother? If you have to build a fortified structure to survive in, why not just build in space?
They didn't manage to bring any living thing on Mars. Machines working up and down is not life as we intend.
Domes like these are impossible to maintain considering the harsh weather, literal stone storms and the frequent mars-quakes rupturing any kind of solid (stone) foundation.
If you wanted to use domes, you would need to build everything on flexible fixings and joins, cover the entire thing with rubber like material sheets where objects can simply exert their inertia and / or bounce off from, and not just use tiles for the domes but honeycomb like multi-layer ceilings that support a network of many chamber like auto-sealing segments not unlike giant cardiac valves.
You need a flexible design to avoid fissures and fractures anytime there is a tremor.
You need the honeycomb for stability, shielding to especially catch objects that managed punching through, and as temperature regulating isolation layer. There are also materials known for some level of self-healing / self-sealing capabilities in case of small level penetrations that can be used with this type of structure. simply gluing holes shut is a lot easier, too. Furthermore, heat-buildup and the possibility to silicon spray-paint layers into solar-cells could also help with the energy situation. Even storing energy through static charges alike film capacitors could be possible.
And using pressure based purely mechanical auto-sealing segments, would greatly limit the consequence of an accident or environmental incident, allowing for the structure itself to survive even if parts are damaged or lost.
Furthermore, using plastics and rubber means using carbon chains, or in other words mostly Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen with at least the first two already present in abundance on Mars - Hydrogen is a bit more difficult to come by, but it does exists in water and some hydrated minerals. Also, using comb like hollow structures greatly reduces the quantity of material required.
3D printed Mars-dirt objects have three main issues:
1. Where to get the lubricant that allows creating the sludge ?
2. How to build walls that protect against the harsh weather, the climate and survive the tremors ? It would have to be very thick, and less rock than fiber for that.
3. How to isolate the whole thing for a breathable environment ?
Mars tunnels or anything underground would have to be of wall-detached build, or be placed in a region with very little in the way to ground shifts and quakes.
Working through the ground also would require a lot of energy, come with wear and tear for drilling equipment, and have a high potential of destroying possible finds on Mars.
Or rather, “marsquakes?" Quakes on Earth happen many times a day, largely due to continental plates shifting as they float on the mantle below. That’s called “plate tectonics.” Mars doesn’t seem to have plate tectonics, but other things can make the ground shake too, like: or even meteorite impacts.
Sounds like a wonderful place NOT TO LIVE!
No matter what happens... It will be a pivotal moment for humanity. A great step towards immunity to Earthbound disasters. I'm thinking it will no doubt be hard at first but once we have a sustainable setup on Mars it will be easier as time goes on. Amazing stuff.... Fascinating to think of.
Get a life dude. Plus a girlfriend while you at it.
We cant survive on the mars surface, without a spacesuit you'd be dead in a matter seconds. Plus the gravity is very low at 38% of earths gravity so that and the 5-7 month flight there will make your body significantly weaker. Even if they do get the travel there faster I still dont think it will be possible to live there
Great video about this on Josh Chatts Science
Any disaster on Earth will devastate any fiction colony on Mars.
A colony on Mars will have to be supplied and supported from Earth.
No dude it’s fucked. The colonies would Hve to cycle every few years or their bones and organs would degrade over time. The gravity isn’t heavy enough for earthlings. There is a reason we evolved on earth
Great video! Just one little science thing: its not the atmosphere that protects us from the radiation, it is the magnetosphere generated by earth's spinning core. The core of Mars is dormant so it does not generate the magnetosphere we need for protection.
The atmosphere probably provides some protection too but yeah you're right.
then we need to pull in to mars orbit a moon,, or even a little at a time bits of asteroid to create a moon to create tidal pull on mars. with a large enough moon there will be a liquid core on mars.
Mars colonists will live shorter life spans, likely dying of cancer.
I also don't think exposure to the lower gravity on along term basis will be healthy either, new health problems will arise from that.
The colonists are essentially volunteering to be lab rats, in an experiment that will ultimately prove that we can't live off Earth very easily. It will go down in history as a tragic, failed experiment.

What might be a good idea is:
They generate energy from the solar panels to other sets of solar panels which will store energy underground and reserve the work of cleaning to their journey.
I don t undertand
Talking about energy on Mars; you didn't even bring up the most obvious solution. Nuclear reactors. We already make small portable safe nuclear reactors. We use them on submarines and some surface vessels. As far as solar panels go, if the panels were mounted on solar tracking devices, they could easily be instructed to turn all the way over occasionally to dump off dust.
however, remember that fission reactors need fuel. Uranium may be hard to find on Mars due to the lack of active tectonic processes over the past (very very large number) years. So it may be dependent on a supply from Earth, while fusion power gets developed. And that would need, what, deuterium?
Saw a whole lecture on the difficulties and dangers of procreation and giving birth on Mars. It was suggested, children on Mars was unlikely in any early stages of any colonisation. Longer term, issues of fertility reduction due to higher radiation levels and the whole physiology of gestation/ fetal development and childbirth may be complicated for humans in low gravity.
test tube babies?
Fortunately, there are a lot of people who love solving problems. It wasn't long ago that most people thought that flying would be impossible. Now we consider it cheap mass transit.
@Tron Jockey for all practical purposes, simulated gravity is equal to gravity. If you spend 24/7 in 1G, it doesn't matter if you are on Earth, on Mars, or floating around in a space station.

The domes can be built with the materials available on Mars. Underground living won't be so bad once there is sufficient area on the surface to spend time. "Windows" can be wall monitors that have a video feed, either of Marscapes or Earthscapes. Living areas can increase in size as the settlers finish up necessary support projects.
could you imagien living in a shopping mall !?
The dangerous levels in the soil of Mars runs miles deep and cannot be made uncontaminated of radiation..
If Humans were to ever make it there,they will die in a very seriously compromised way.. either the radiation from traveling Or the radiation saturated soil and lack of proper osmosis system vital for sustaining human life... not to mention new illness we won't have the research facilities to treat them..
Humans were never intended to dwell on another celestial body and live aside the very soil God created us from..read God's holy word... you will see..
And if people get bored they can talk to the fairies or try to kill each other like they do in prison!
I think the underground habitation is very underrated. If you look at places like Dubai, or many of the most developed cities, people spend 99% of the day inside a building or a vehicle.
When we think "underground" we associate damp and dark, cold and depressing, but if you're inside a giant mall, you are not outside but it's one of the favorite places of many people.
You could make solar lamps designed to reproduce the sun's effect and which would help maintain circadian rhythms.
Then there's the availability of the underground, it's thought that there are natural tunnels resulting from the cooling of magma.
You might not even need to build much to get set up.
Underground you're protected from the solar radiation and from the toxic and dangerous marsian dirt.
You also remove the risk of a catastrophic destruction of the domes which could kill people and cost a lot of money.
All in all, it seems to me that an underground city might not be the sexiest idea, but it's by far the easier/most efficient way to build a Martian colony.
What about oxygen?
they could also drill some tunnels and put in place some sort of secure skylights for some natural sunlight and mirrors could possibly be used to spread the light around or channel it into the skylights... so many thoughts on what could be done.
That is why Musk created the Boring company. He is developing the technology now for Mars tunnels.
i am voluntarily willing to stay in planet Mars and live for the rest of my life to contribute what would life will be living in another planet, but im 60 yrs old now.
Well , you and probably a million of other people who feel the same about wanting to live on Mars might want to research the 1/3 of earth gravity mars has and the negative effect it will certainly have on an earthly body which could shorten its life span by decades ending with a very sickly few years before dying .
Well live on Mars won’t be as Green and beautiful and easy as living on Earth.
@@williamgrimberg2510 there are some studies to say how many lower gravity would lengthen lifespans. Those are theories nothing is conclusive yet.
@@benjaminanderson7066 That would be nice, but then there is the results of the astronauts who have lost bone and muscle mass after just months(and two hours a day of exercise)of stay on the International Space Station and so the same will probably happen but slower on Mars since it has at least one third the gravity of earth .
Me too! And I'm 22 years old currently!
want to know what life is like on mars? go to the dryest desert on earth, and you can only get supplies every 7 months and you have to wear a suit to protect you from the elements outside and live inside a dome. You think a million people are going to want to live like that? Why would they?
Negative 60 degrees with no oxygen! The living space would smell like an old gym!
As for Mars gravity, perhaps as a part of the colony there could be some large spinning centrifuge buildings (think spinning space stations or those carnival rides) built such that the effective 'down' is Earth normal.
Could be used for hospitals, gyms, schools, etc. so that a Mars based population had access to Earth normal conditions for at least a portion of their daily lives.
thats an important question. We have a lot of data at 1G (earth) and a lot of data at 0G (ISS) but we have almost no data for anywhere in between. Would a couple hours per day at 1G be helpful on Mars? Would it do more harm than good? These are things we will only learn through experience.
Wouldn't work well because Mars gravity would be perpendicular.
I found a video on the Spacedock channel that goes over the adjustments for a Lunar Centrifuge. Mars would be a bit different, but the idea would be the same.
Look on Spacedock for "How to Create Gravity on the Moon" (2018), but essentially you've got to calculate (not my forte) the needed spin. Essential to your criticism however, you also need to angle the floor of the centrifuge so the the combination of the Spin and Natural Gravity result in a proper 'down' at the desired Earth normal.
@@jasonp.1195 I thought the very same things as what you wrote in your OC and reply.
(Btw, this is the only silly-free thread among the several dozen I've read through here. Kinda like the only cute girl at the party.)
Well the idea is to create an atmosphere on mars by melting the ice caps ,once in place the gravity will increase itself .
pressurized co2 would be easier to use for cleaning the ultra-fine dust from the panels. nearly nonexistent moisture means the dust won't "stick", and the low gravity further reduces the problems concerning weight of the dust keeping it in place on the surfaces. using the negative pressure caused by the moving CO2 to suck dust away from an adjacent panel is a plus to this design idea.
The dust sticks because of static electricity.
Check out electrostatic attraction. It can totally destroy sensitive electronics. Gotta a story about its hazards if you are interested.
Not sure if you are totally on top of this, seeing that even mastery of the shift key is beyond your powers. A touch more seriously, pressurized co2/CO2 (are they the same thing?) would blow the dust off, right? What exactly would prevent it from then merely drifting over and settling on the panel just cleared?
Considering that they already have experience with dust issues on the rovers, your point is completely incorrect.
when i was very young i remember very detailed vision of being and living on mars, it is my destiny to go there. i hope elon can hurry up we can both work to change the world together
Actually Mars has a very high temperature range so when we talk about the average temperature is - 60°C is actually the average temperature in Ecuador during the day considering the seasons and the hemispheres. It depends a lot on these last two factors the temperature on Mars. In summer in Ecuador it reaches a maximum of 30° C (usually between 10 and 20°C). While the night this same temperature in summer drops a lot, to the average of negative 60.
In an icy winter in the northern hemisphere the temperature can reach -100° C and there is not much variation between day and night.
here in India
minimum Temp - 51 C and max Temp 55 C
in delhi peak summers are 40 - 45 C
First, I assume you mean the Equator (of Mars) not Ecuador (whatever that is) and Earth's atmosphere and oceans help moderate temperature fluctuations and the lack of both on Mars would mean that those fluctuations would cause considerable problems with material damage and durability!
Solar panels oh yes! that sounds like something we should actually use here on earth
I like to imagine that we would eventually send giant 3d printers to Mars so we could just 3d print a giant dome
How will you they cycle breathable oxygen into the dome? (And it has to be clean ventilation)
Cool Stuff, merci.
I just wonder how living at 38% of Earth's gravity could be possible. Wouldn't that have very serious, damaging consequences to our bodies? How do we overcome that? We are adaptive but evolution never had to tackle such problem before.
Right.., we d be in suits and shit probably
Youd have to workout on threadmills every week or evolve to something better suited to mars over time
@@TheIndieGamesNL why treadmill? How would it help solve the problem? Explain plz
well, gotta put in the factors of innovations and inventions before this actually happens, maybe we got breakthroughs to solving most problems... such AI which also be our downfall
Or weight suits that give you more weight to help move muscles etc
When this earth is all destroyed by us like creating different kinds of sicknesses, bombs, hates and sorts of craziness, Mars will start to look like a dream home. It will be a mars dream....
The kind of people that create all the bad things on Earth, will more than likely be the kind of people that would also go to Mars to create the same stuff.
@@michaeld6147 sad but true
Total Recall vibes right away!! Subbed asap
Never going to happen.
A gift isn't a visionary goal.
It's a grift
Couldnt get past that you said Starship is ready to go to Mars. Totally hasnt gone orbital yet.
If Elon can do this as said on the video he will go down as one of the most notable people in history.
he already is... if all he ever accomplished was being the richest man in history...
@@nayrtnartsipacify this is not true at all, where did you get richest man ever from? The richest man ever was Mansa Musa with over 400+ billon USD.
I know I'm getting old when all I think about when I think about 0 or less gravity is how great my back would feel and how it probably wouldn't hurt anymore lol (I just turned 30)
Your back should be the least of your concerns. Without gravty, or with low gravity, you muscles would atrophy and you'd die! Even astronaughts on the ISS can't stay there for more than 6 months without serious health consequences.
Thomas, try some yoga ;)
Use sunlight and redirect the suns rays to the polar areas.
1st time on your channel, Im subscribing, thanks for the chuckles on "Muskateers" and "even for Canadians" lol cool video, very interesting, seen a video stating sending a little 3d printer to build bigger 3d printers to make the city. Technology is so awesome!

And if something happen to us in Mars, we call G_d and G_d will say ” did I tell you to live in Mars?"
Idea 1. The generators for the wind mills might be magneto. Get it done. Semper fi.😊🇺🇸
Yo man Theres fuckin no way i just thougt about the Same shit we are Genius 🤝
I would love to experience the new planet evolution to discover the possibilities could live more longer life’s in the Mars cuz no pollution. Underground wow! 🤩 👏🏼🙏🏻 you Elon 😍
Whether or not it's a nice place to live, early on, depends on your plan. Obviously, you need to setup habitats. I strongly advocate a low tech rural Maritain colonization strategy. Start with a smelter/foundry and metal shop. Build the habitats from iron/nickel sheet metal (corrugated) in the same way shipping containers are made, except wider with an overhanging roof, covered in a foot or two of regolith (to shield). So the smelter could use solar concentrators to heat a titanium crucible. You can make hydrochloric acid from water and salt (both plentiful on Mars) to pickle the metal before running it through rollers to make sheet metal... folder and re-running as desired for increased impact strength. Then corrugate. Us flat sheet metal over and under the corrugated sheet to make a stiff floor, and under the corrugated sheet on the ceiling, to hold the weight of regolith on top.
As for welding, Mars has so little oxygen that you should be able to merely rub the metal together a few times then merely apply pressure for a cold weld. If that doesn't work, weld it traditionally.. no big deal.
Use wind turbines for power. yes, the blades would need to be very broad. However, the wind is typically arount 15 mph consistently night and day -- much more during a dust storm. This predictability means you can design for it without risk. The metal shop should be able to build the turbines using a wire mill, any insultator (corn husks would work), and permanent magnets (made by running DC current through red hot iron, as it cools). These magnets could also be used to levitate the shaft, producing a highly efficient brushless shaft. This will work great in dust storms, too.
So I'd use hand blown glass bricks for windows. You can wet them to the iron for an air tight seal but it'd be better to make a plasticized plastic as the seal, instead... safer against Mars quakes.
I'd build a large rectangular structure with workshops and common areas in the corners, one large wind turbine over each corner, housing between, and a big green house in the center (slanted roof made of rectangular (on top) and triangular (on the sides) glass bricks. The bricks should have water in them, to provide shielding. Windows on the sides of the housing units will look either out toward the martian landscape or in toward the gardens.
The gardens should have lemon trees (as a cleaning agent) plus sweet potatos (can eat leaves and potatos), kale, and other various vegetables, corn, and grapes. Fish are also a good idea. I would put a waterfall, stream, and pond for both the fish and people to swim in... with a little beach to recreation. Also, crickets can be used to eat up the unusable vegetation to either make protein bars (blending and shaping) and/or feed chickens. Human poo should be baked before working into garden soils, to avoid pathogen contamination.
Actually, a water treatment system could be easily built. The first compartment has algae to consume and clean, a slanted pipe slants upward to move clean water into the next tank from which it is sanitized. You can use chlorine (from local salts) or distill it. I prefer distillation into water holding tanks up high.... these would feed the waterfall, sinks, showers, and toilets.
After perhaps about 3 to 6 months of work, you would have a nice village with the start of crops. The old work you'd have to do is gardening, cooking/dishes, light industries (making and repairing clothes, etc) and general maintenance for the electrical, water, and air systems. So you will begin exploration, sports, music, etc.... live happily. You may also want to expand the habitat. By the time you have children, you will want to expand or make a new habitat some distance away. Everything you used to build this colony could be replicated at this colony to build yet another.
You need start with only 25 mating pairs (50 settlers) for sufficient genetic diversity to build a vast human population. However, that is an over estimate for the human species, just a general rule for animal species in general. There are human populations that have traditionally only married off first cousins for thousands of years....
So Space X plans to colonize mars on a planet with no oxygen and limited resources. We would have to bring everything with us to live. If this plans happens I would be amazed. So we are doing this, just to say we can? Or is this the ultimate challenge for man? To terraform a section of Mars so we can use some of its resources and actually live there long term.
I always imagined a concept that we could seal off the Valles Marineris and form a small biosphere within it. Heat and light emitted artificially from the high ceiling mimicking conditions on Earth.
Life on earth is a blessing compared to living anywhere else in deep space. Actually Mars has a very high temperature range so when we talk about the average temperature is - 60°C is actually the average temperature in Ecuador during the day considering the seasons and the hemispheres. It depends a lot on these
I volunteer my life to it if needed
another pothole needs filling
"Someone would have to find out"
M.curie: was I a joke to you?
Watching other videos revealing more mining on just Mars going on for years now.
Barely can explore and understand the ocean, but going to have a colony on mars😂
60% of kids these days : I want to be a youtuber
Elon Musk : i want to go to Mars
Mine told me at 2.5 that she wanted to build rocketships and raise dinosaurs in space... Musk let's be believe in her dreams more than my parents could ever believe mine....
Yeah cool being born on Mars you could be a real life Martian..
Humans on Mars will mutate quickly into a different species. Martians.
Unless there is a 1G environment for daytime activities. Mars is actually a harsh place to try and live.
Vast underground caves could be filled with air and plants and lakes and rivers to make a pleasant environment.
But for everyday living 1G is essential. It requires a large wheel creating artificial gravity. Ideally underground
Wouldn't catch me dead relying on Elon for my life.

Good vid! 🙂
Have you seen testing the nuclear and plasma engines for SpaceX rockets? It cuts the travel time to 3 months. It's actually achievable and already tested in the laboratory, although the current record for holding stable plasma is 70 seconds, we have to start somewhere!
Yep, NERVA was first tested in the 60’s
This is why i like your videos, you don't have an obsession for being on the video which will lose you clicks, you voice the video which great and you keep us engaged with the video content with information about the subject which is cool. We don't know what you look like but that doesn't matter, unlike these other guys who seem to think we need to see their face...it's about the information and you knock it out of the park each time so thank you for your work.
Put the solar panels in a dome
Someone would have to clean the dome
this was a super awesome video wish I could give it a million likes I love watching videos like this I love learning about the future that I hope someday I can be a big factor in helping contribute
If they don't all have a solid inner practice and an absolute goal of service then the entire experiment will end as an unimaginable hell-scape tragedy.
The risks of establishing life on Mars are so scary. Nonetheless, there are greater rewards, if this will be successful.
AWESOME
Keep going Elon sir ❤ #Respect
Solar panels? How about using Small Modular Reactors?
You almost never hear futurist/Mars talk involving SMR's or advanced nuclear technologies...not because the science isn't worth discussing, but because nuclear is not where the bulk of private industry/investors, startup culture folks, and environmental activists are these days. Governments control/centralize/regulate nuclear resources mostly, and to thus to an extent one could say put high entry costs around nuclear innovation or just make it less sexy...and so it is sort of a clash of ideologies more than a debate around the science. People have known about thorium reactors for years and yet you see just about nothing happen with them. Same thing about the Helium 3 on the far side of the moon...totally worth factoring in to most of these predictions. But no one has a bunch of H3 to play with. Conversely, solar gains efficiency at incredible pace each year and folks are still finding lots of room to improve wind systems...so that is why you will often literally just see a lot more of solar/wind renewables discussed in these predictions.
They may be small for a reactor, but they're still too big to put on a rocket.
Absolutely amazing but I really don't see this serving any purpose unless they could discover a planet with the same conditions that we find on earth.
I been there before everything he doing is right, in the 90 I keep visit mars and didn't know that is call mars until I told my co worker name yohanna , I was for agostino antique on 11 st on Broadway. One good evening yohanna call me and tell to watch TV and see everything . When I was telling what I have seen and places I have been , she think I was crazy the next day she ask More and . Yes we visit the Land there is a Life there the dog , discover , water and many materials we need most . 2 . Humans was transport there , bring them from why I was standing I don't know to call where I was standing south or north, the building was my left it was a Hall and I was some part look like helf round thy transport them down from my east and come up west and turn right in front of me and go to my left up big place many apartment . Where I was standing too was building for people like me only . Many things I know about
I totely agree with you
@@andrewmorton395 I think the goal is to make humanity a multiplanetary species and Mars is just the first stepping stone. Life will be tough for early settlers but I think as technology improves and infrastructure is built up, life could eventually be pretty comfortable on Mars.
Nonsense
Period, if we don't have the same condition as on earth , how do you sustain all this ...... where the Atmosphere is completely unreliable.....
earth is our life, no other planet that's all
I think in the near future Mars will be a fixed station in the universe
An idea of underground structures is on the side of a mountain/hill so that the tunnels go into it and there is still a window on ever tunnel looking out and the top could be covered in solar panels
We discussed this in a Mars forum a few years back but people will need a big gravity wheel to provide 1G to prevent low gravity illness.
@@oldplucker1 What about just putting on heavy clothing or space suits to compensate. The space suits could be lead coated in a leaded paint layer to also screen out radiation. The clothing inside domes or tunnels could be made of heavy material but probably no lead as to much lead can be toxic
@@grgmetube Good idea but...... that is just exercise. It is the work the heart has to do to pump blood up from the feet to the heart and up to the head and round again roughly twice a minute that keeps the heart strong. So the horizontal big wheel Accommodation idea is the only option I can see.
Spend most of the waking hours in 1G but maybe sleep in Mars G. I suggest stopping the wheel at night maybe or even having sleeping quarters underground.
The problem is that these projects need very big thinkers like me to correct misconceptions and show how success can truly be achieved.
The engineering is relatively simple but the scale is big.
There is no way for humans to colonise Mars or Space without 1G.
Pass the message on and get people to contact me.
They need to really understand this otherwise going to Mars is just going to be another short term jolly.
