Me. Hello I am a human from 4126 and I lived on the mars.
When they talk about self-sufficiency, they're not talking about oxygen, water or food. Those things are easy to produce. They're talking Mars having the industrial capacity to mine its own rare elements and produce its electronics without relying on industrial or electronic supplies from Earth. Mars needs to be able to repair and produce all industrial equipment independently to be truly self-sufficient, and that's why they say it'd need about 1 million people.
The fact we're even discussing colonizing Mars as an option is extraordinary! We're living in a time of great change.
Yeah
The fact that we're discussing it without first solving the problems on Earth is more frightening than anything. Let's make sure we're all taken care of first before letting wealth hoarders play astronaut colonizers for essentially no practical reason. Spending money to colonize Mars should be considered a crime against humanity if homelessness, starvation, student and medical debt, and chronic poverty are not first eradicated.

For anyone who says something along these lines *We should help Earth instead of going to space*
The problem isn't money, we have more than enough, but you get diminishing returns at some point. And I'd argue we largely have the technology needed. Further utilization would lead to more development and innovation. So that's not the problem either.
The problem is the lack of long-term policy, and an economically viable plan. It wouldn't matter if we strip out the entire space program, because that wouldn't help anything.
Colonizing space isn't mutually exclusive with reducing our impact on Earth, we can - and most likely will - do both. But we need better leaders and more entrepreneurs to make the change down here happen.
David K thank you I’m tired of people saying “stop space exploration help the poor” when in reality that would make our situation worse. That money would be stripped from the economy lowering inovetikn leaving many jobless and rendering even more people in poverty. And not only that but NASA and private companies are responsible for almost everything we use on a daily basis. The technology that was crafted innovated and designed for space travel has been applied to earth practices. Like velcro, robotic sensors (now used for advance prosthetics ect) 1/3 of all cameras contain tech jpg used to miniature muse and still provide detail accurate picture for scientific use (applied to camera like the 1 in ur phone) memory-foam, wireless headphones ect the list goes on. Now all of this happens while giving nasa the scraps of the plate (in terms of money) we should really be putting more money into the space industry to find ways to make more new products boosting the economy and getting poverdised people help from this tech not the other way around
I’m not saying we shouldn’t help those in need I’m just saying people need to stop blabbering about stuff they are ignorant about
I agree and there is also a bigger picture...If humanity doesn't make a concerted effort to spread beyond our solar system, the Voyager and Pioneer spacecraft might one day be the only evidence we ever existed. The sun is going to roast the Earth (and probably Mars) then vaporise it.
It might be over a billion years away, but even that might not be enough time for us to succeed. A self sustaining colony on Mars would just be a tiny step, sorta like the first multicellular life on Earth on the way to becoming humans.
@@rea280 Yeah. Ironically to some people, a number of the technologies needed to settle space could be used down here, and vice versa - a positive feedback loop.
If you want to settle another planet, you need to be incredibly sustainable. As an example: Food needs to be grown as efficiently as possible. You don't have a lot of room, and resupply takes a couple years - so hydro/aqua/aeroponics and vertical farms would all be required in space, but also be incredibly useful on Earth, as deforestation is a problem, and Agriculture contributes a lot to that. And all those ways of growing food greatly reduces your footprint, and even water usage.
That's just one example. Energy storage, solar, nuclear, water purification, recycling, new mining/manufacturing practices that don't require fossil fuels, and more are all required in space, and could also be used down here. So that kind of development would spur innovation on both fronts.
@@kirkc9643 Yup. One way or another, Earth will be used and/or stripped/destroyed. And it doesn't matter how badly we want to protect our wildlife, if we go extinct - and an Asteroid wipes all of our efforts in one swoop.
Now, I don't think that's going to happen _anytime_ soon. We've got plenty of time, but it's for reasons like that, why I don't understand arguments against space colonization. It's going to happen at some point, and if it isn't us, it's going to be someone else who records our history and wonders why we never took the final step; or it'll be no one, and Earth gets scorched. Wiping away not only all life, but everything we've ever done, and everything we'll ever do, forever. It'll be like we never even existed.

And the space race ended sadly, but there's a lot more happening now with companies like spaceX though
Well, without communism there wasn’t any motivation
@@hedgie9823 they can't do have the shit nasa did decades ago
American citizens should blame themselves for promoting an atmosphere of no cooperation. Especially the boomers.
I think underground colony is the way to go, it's relatively easy and it has so many advantage . Nuclear will be the best deal but the trouble will be to fuel for it... The biggest trouble will be the gravity, it's less than eart so this will cause trouble in a medium timeline.
Our biggest trouble won't be the gravity. It is up there, but it is no where near close the biggest problem. The biggest problem is Mars magnetosphere. Since it has a weak magnetosphere people won't be able to terraform the planet because space and solar storms would destroy everything and throw it all into space. The most viable housing option for a big colony on Mars right now is a pressurized glass dome. There will be nothing else better then that unless we can learn to change Mars magnetosphere or atleast protect Mars from the solar storms. If we can do that then terraforming is possible. Again, just like you said after we can solve the Magnetosphere option which we have no Idea of how to yet then we can focus on the gravity problem, but we can't change the gravity on the Red planet because we'd need to increase the Planets size by a huge amount. However, that problem of gravity could be easily fixed if they put a rule to exercise for a few hours, or you went in depressurized buildings a lot.
Mars does seem plausible, let's hope we can make it soon.
Getting there and living there are two really different topics.
plausible for sure, but not on mars, but some secret place on earth, and you will believe them anyway, because they would tell you so.
An asteroid passed between the moon and the earth recently and we did not know until two days after it happened. Makes you wonder if they know something, like trajectory of an asetorid to possibly hit earth in 100 years or something.

"What Would A Million Person Mars Colony Look Like?" I'm guessing it was a rhetorical question!
i don't get why some people say first we need to solve earth problems, thinking about space or mars is irrelevant, if science were to stop for every single problem on earth we would probably still not be able to fly, thats one thing about science always moves forward, even when there is war, in fact when there is war science advances even more, so grateful for those minds who think different and really try to move us forward, since our beginnings there have always been struggle. colonizing mars probably seems crazy right now but like Elon Musk says first we need to established the possibility that can be done. the environment is harsh and not for us at all, but think about it, if you go to a really cold place naked you freeze to death, you need a jacket and other clothing, you need technology, just like in Mars, but we are scratching the surface of what is possible there.
Sure let’s keep trashing earth so we have to leave
Agreed because if that was the problem then things like drinking and gambling and other unnecessary activities would be stopped and that money would be used to help the planet
My question is why they want to live in another planet using such teachnology but having nothing! Why they don't use this teachnology to build the same here on Earth having so many deserts? Many people in Africa will be thankful. At least water is not that far here.
That's true and we need entrepreneurs and non corrupt leaders to help guide everyone, One of the problems on earth is that people do as they please and the law has to be there to stop them and currently there is so much wrong-doing but that is because the population is so huge or a government is under-developed or simply not as strong. A larger population will be harder to maintain unless that population understands the concepts of a good balance and peace and how important everything truly is.
People that think they are going to get earth's problems solved are delusional.
"we would need a machine capable of sucking C02 from the atmosphere and splitting it into oxygen". We need this on earth too.
Nicholas Johnston plants
They have an experiment that lichen would likely survive on Mars at least for a little while, so we could start there.
Nicholas Johnston: "we would need a machine capable of sucking co2 etc."
Tree: "Am I a joke to you?"
The actual problem is the atmospheric density. Plants would suffocate due to how little carbon dioxide is actually there.
Mars is too small for a proper atmosphere. CO2 levels were pretty high on Earth pre life also, but the atmosphere was thick, so water vapor stayed around. Artificially produced Oxygen would work, but supply has to be replenished as has that of water. Mars is unsustainable and can not just be brought beyond a tipping point and then work as Earth,
Yes, I agree that before colonizing Mars the habitat or the residential house of humans on Mars must be readily available.
Evolution has made us fit for planet Earth. We have a hard time being cooped up in our homes during the corona epidemic. How long do you think we can live in a bubble on another planet?
In a way itd be different tho, like wed be in a bubble but itd be big enough to have space for everyone. Plus we'd acrually be able to go out and do things/be around other people (which is the main problem about the pandemic, no one cares about staying home. But it gets hard when there's no actual human contact apart from who your quarantined with for multiple months on end) so I don't think itd be much issue
The people having trouble staying cooped up wont be going to mars they already are troublesome here, the people that go will be willing and capable going through many psychological tests to make sure they can.
Maybe kids who are born and raised on Mars, will not feel at home on earth..
"We have a hard time being cooped up in our homes during the corona epidemic"
Speak for yourself :P
not all of us
This is the new frontier, and I feel like human beings have been missing the frontier for quite some time. We need our towns and cities obviously. We need civilization, but I feel like we also need that sense of expanding-of claiming, mapping, exploring, and taming new lands. It’s a part of us, and we’ve been away. We’ve been away for far too long.
China is doing that with the Asian pacific.
you are correct.we need that kinda attitude to move forward.Ambition was one of the key reasons for the rapid dominance of our species on planet earth.
Domaninance and expansion isn't the only way for our species to survive and excel.
Humans will never inhabit another planet, end of discussion.
@@Weird.Dreams lol
Politically I would wonder how this would work though. What country would they be associated with? How are they going to enforce laws etc? Will there be a tax for the people on Mars going back to Earth?
I feel like that just like past colonization, Mars would eventually break away from Earth when the colony becomes big enough, and would most likely end up overtaking earth hundreds of years in the future. (Earth will never be united, Mars most likely would be a single planetary government as by then most of the adults living there would never of visited Earth and wouldn't associate themselves with the nations that they came from)
Lines are already drawn, the EU, U.S, Canada, Japan, Australia will create a colony, Russia has dropped out of the Artemis program and is going to the moon with China. Right now the U.S is building two rockets that can get to mars and three that can get to the moon.
"most of the adults living there would never of visited Earth and wouldn't associate themselves with the nations that they came from"
Or they might say, we are not your experimental human beings, we want to live in our natural world - Earth. Imagine your parents gave birth to you on a remote island, then tell you this will be your home for the rest of your life, and you then say "No way!".

Surely there must be opportunities to live underground on Mars, intuition tells us cave systems are there. Cave systems exist here on Earth so why not on Mars. If they do exist there then it would be great to explore them.
Sounds beyond terrifying. I don't know about you but you're never gonna find me in a Martian cave.
Daniel Parsons martian caves are probably the way to go, at least initially. Protection from radiation, dust storms, and solar flares will be critical to our survival.
ye but to prepare the equipment and stuff and to drill and set up a base there will be hard and all and would require human assistance. That would be really advanced wouldn't it and really expensive. Currently i don't think that would be an option but in the near future i think it will be highly considered
Imagine finding a painting on the walls of the cave
Gotta prepare laser tech first in order to blast away those sneaky martians in the caves too. Green skinned bastards they are
Tbh, I think that there would be so much more advancements in tech as when we went to the moon we got so much more advancements in tech and I think the same would repeat for when we go to mars
Andre Gaming finally! I thought I might be the only one who thought that! I constantly have to explain to people why the space industry is important and how it sparked innovation for space travel that was latter applied to earth proposes.
I also bet if we went to mars it would also be very similar to our moon landings... few landings then we stay around Earth. Imo we outta start with a constantly manned lunar base.
@@zackatwood2867 If Elon Musk gets his starship up and running, then we will see a base on Mars within the next decade. SpaceX is already superior to NASA to a certain degree.
Moon is actually easy. NASA has a ton of hardware and data about moon due to several cancelled lunar programs and actually is working a program to build a space station in orbit of the moon by 2024. The only problem is funding and political hindrance. But people often comment how Elon will put people on Mars before NASA finishes it lunar program.

Thank you Curiositystream for including a Mars advertisement in this video.
So we want to be based on the equator for more consistent day lengths for the solar power and for the temperature better for humans, but we also want to be at the poles to get the best supply of water. Tricky
Perhaps first colony established at frozen pole? If successful, next a little closer to the equator, but still close enough to each other? Or maybe set up mining drones and a plant at the pole, and transport the water via drone to a first colony at the equator? Many possible options.
I’m imagining the settlement looking more like a trailer park with a lot of visqueen every where
Imagine kids born on Mars and then they see pictures from Earth, they would probably be so curious how beautiful it is compared to Mars, wish I could feel that.
They will be able to travel back and forth, it'd probably feel surreal to be born on Mars and then visit Earth.

@@eatham2261 won't happen . The martian core that's responsible for the magnetic field is rock solid and thus any atmosphere created will just disappear in space
@@mister_grizzlee5105 there is a neat concept to use a big satellite that can produce a electromagnetic shield to protect against solar wind and put it between mars and the sun.
If I ever get to visit mars I will look around for the Curiosity rover
Excited to see future
When you talk about a one million person colony being self sufficient, you should qualify it. Yes they would need to produce all the bulk supplies such as air, water, water and fuel. But they would not be able to produce some things like advanced microchips. Just running the fab line would be hard, when you add in the supply chain needed, a million people is not even close
I can see all the people rushing to say that all the companies that supply the fab don't need that many people. But each of those companies need specialized supplies that have to come from somewhere. This repeats for several levels before you have a complete system that does not need imports from Earth. Just producing basic office and home supplies is going to be a big strain on the colony.
Keep in mind that computer chips are light and small. You could ship hundreds of thousands in one trip. But if local production was deemed to be important enough, the colonists could develop their own home grown electronics based on tech that cannot compete with silicon on earth. An example would be 3D printed conductive plastic electronics. It would be slow and bulky compared to earth tech but if there was enough demand I think it could be done.
@@VictorGallagherCarvings yes. Hard to produce items that are small or only a few are required will still need to be imported. This is reasonable and what I expect to happen.
My issue is that calling the colony self sufficient will lead some people to think that this is all that is needed for a backup home for humanity in case something happens to Earth. Given the harsh conditions on Mars, it will take many colonies of this size to be truly independent of Earth.

I just want to say that the aquaponic systems that run with fish tanks and worm bins are my favorite to think about for mars settlements! The fish would hopefully help with omega3 and the desire for meat, and the worms would eat some of the vegtable scaps (and get fed to the fish)! Thinking about these sorta questions really became a happy thoughts kinda escape from politics ngl
More importantly: How would one quarantine on Mars if we brought COVID with us?
Long term exposure to the astronauts at the space station, shows changes in the human brain when exposed to zero gravity for extended periods. Parts inside the brain swell and put pressure on the eye receptors causing vision troubles.
But mars its not zero gravity
Why not build domes over giant dug up trenches? These trenches would be easily expandable and create a lot more space.
These trenches would be much more easily made than just a regular dome, which if we are gonna 3D print a base with robotic construction workers make it in a trench
If you were gonna prevent claustrophobic stresses, these trenches must be dug 10 feet or more underground and 10 feet or more in width, but it would help more if it was over 15 feet.
It doesn't really matter how long you need to dig it, but you can still expand it long ways.
What if Mars atmosphere actually keeps Mars stable and soon as we change the atmosphere it blows up hahah
They should focus on upgrading our spaceships to care us to better planets
As many SciFi shows/movies as I've seen in my lifetime, I can't believe that I never even conceived of the idea of using/building a dome(s) on Mars. Now that I've heard him say it, and seen the pictures of the idea, I'm wondering about some things. Would the dome(s) be something that would solely be for allowing building structures and possibly plant based life to exist on the surface rather than having to be buried under rock and sand, and the plants be restricted inside of those buried structures? Or, would these dome(s) be built in such a way that they would be So protective that humans could actually take the risk of walking around openly on the surface without the use of Any protective space suit or breathing apparatus whatsoever. These two concepts are Vastly different from one another and would make a Huge difference to me. If it was the latter, then I am Way more excited at the prospect of colonizing Mars than I Ever was previously. It's one thing to have to live in buried shelters for hundreds or more likely closer to one hundred thousand years while working out how to properly Terraform Mars. But, if while we were working out the logistics of it, we were able to build smaller scale city-like domed structures that were suitable for human life, And work out a way around that pesky 1/3 Earth's gravity, then the idea of starting colonies on Mars has suddenly become much Much more appealing to me!
Mars has no natural EM shielding. That's why it's a dead world. Better off terraforming Venus . But no one ever wants to have that discussion
@@bibblethealien1018 well, technically, if your dome was large enough (10km diameter, 2km tall at least) and had 1 bar atmospheric pressure, then at the surface the atmosphere in the dome, combined with the material of the dome itself, would adequately protect from radiation.
1:53 "Highs of 35 celcius in the summer on the equator"
What is meant by that sentence? because the day of the Martian "fall" and "spring" will be the day that gives the equator the most powerful solar radiation across an entire Martian year. As it also does on Earth.
tropical temps :D
It would look like a good start on thinning out the numbers back home.
I agree, our planet's suffering because we're with too many. I stand opposed to purging human beings (obviously) so this is by far the best option morally.
Mars looks really good right now!
Sci-fi people: don't open portals and don't drink the water
We already know how to warm up a planet, so Mars's colder weather shouldn't be too much of a problem...
InventorZahran 327 - burning oil and wood is not easy on mars...
even if we can restore its atmosphere it would slowly degrade away
The whole reason why Mars doesnt have much of an atmosphere in the first place is cuz it has a very weak magnetic field, which made its atmosphere exposed to solar winds and over time it became very thin as it is today. The reason why this doesnt happen to Earth is because we have a strong enough magnetic field that prevents the solar winds from damaging the atmosphere.
We have never warmed up a planet
@@brokenwave6125 Are you one of those people who deny the existence of climate change on earth?
@@InventorZahran Hey, be more charitable in your interpretation! He clearly means he doesn't believe that Earth is a planet! It's flat, obviously, duh!
Incredible!
We can't wait to live, work and play in mars!
I don't
i didn't even realize this was second thought
One issue not discussed is nitrogen. How do we gdt the needed amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere. Its way easier to turn carbon dioxide into oxygen than it is to get nitrogen on mars.
Nitrogen isn't consumed while breathing so you would always use the same, a few shipments from earth would be more than enough probably
You can get pretty much anything out of a rock.
Could replace it with helium so everyone sounds high-pitched on Mars
Your meat question is easily solved and it will improve your plant growth, aquaponics fish plus plants.
If you have ever farmed chickens you will know that they are super low maintenance. Especially free range. Bring 3 hens and a cock and you'll have a floored of chickens in the colony in no time. Also rabbits. Let them run around in the dome no problem. I think we will only succeed in space if we prioritize normalcy. pooping on suction tube on the ISS is definitely not the way.
Martians pop heads out sees colony ZAPS IT , no more Earth people want to go to MARS.
Make machines, using computers, bring back soil from Mars, our moon, ... . Write software that covers every possibility thought of.
Here's a new title for you: "Current Martian Inhabitants".
whos here after watching the Dragon X Falcon successful space Launchers🚀🛰
@Tin Man well recently space X sent People to the international space station, so it's the first private American company to do so.
the one where the mouse was found to survive in space without a spacesuit? yes it is quite a feat
Curiosity stream is marvelous!!
Very good, keep it up.
getting a lot of expanse vibes watching this, need to watch the series again
You should read the red mars books as well then, they discuss the entire process which is great
On Netflix is a series called „Mars“ its pretty intresting and a mix between documentatioan and scifi Series
Yea, it's a "Docudrama" or "Documentary Drama" series.
How would you even begin to calculate with a safety margin how much O2 that would take? Strict physical fitness requirements to make sure you only have the most efficient O2 breathers sent there would be helpful. Material production for such a facility would be enormous. I keep hoping to see such a venture take root. I have my fingers crossed.
Well, we're trying to make Mars like Earth and making Earth like Mars. We are really funny cosmic beings.
What do you call a someone born on Mars who's a Hitman?
Martian Man Hunter
Ok

Humans: *Start planting Trees*
Also Humans: *Cuts the trees*
Now that's what I call true
@@MtnDew4828 plant: *grow into tech cutting something by nanotech water*
human:wow this a plant have alot of metal inside they're!
What would a Mars colony look like?
I would personally recommend watching the Expanse to see a realistic vision of the near future, including the Martian colony. It's an excellent hard sci-fi show.
I know what it will look like,trash, dumb people, murders, no trees bad internet, and more but I'm not going to waste my time saying all of it it would be an hour if I did.
@Morphing Taxi every you said is right,
and they want have internet to so it's clearly gonna be like the 1900s in mars
I can’t wait to be apart of the Mars master race
funny
