The title is "Why terraforming Mars is a big mistake" but it just comes down to hideously expensive, difficult, and we don't have the technology to do it yet. It's still a heckuva' lot easier than terraforming Venus.
There are some people that would like us to harbor all the free iron we can and canabalize every spare planet for a Dyson sphere. Personally, I feel like there are so many other stars in the sky, god damn, Dyson sphere those and leave this system alone.
@@rylieharris2901 True, it might just simply be an inevitability I suppose. As an origin system though, I’d hope we’d find that whatever effect got us started from this arrangement, is not something unique and hopefully shared by many systems anyways… before we end up dissolving it all for resources.
I prefer living on a planet with a 100% habitable atmosphere. They, the so called experts, say that soon earth will be uninhabitable, Solution: colonize a planet that is 100% uninhabitable. Brilliant!
If we have the technology to terraform mars into a earth like habitable planet, we should have the technology to turn earth back to its best form - Neil degrasse Tyson
@@alanbriv Thats, incorrect, we actually have already an idea how to resolve issue of lack of magnetosphere AND atmospheric pressure AND temperature, placing magnetic shield at L1 point would shield mars from solar winds, without solar winds atmoshpere would start to rebuild itself . Simulations indicate that within years, the planet would be able to achieve half the atmospheric pressure of Earth. Without solar winds stripping away at the planet, frozen carbon dioxide at the ice caps on either pole would begin to sublimate (change from a solid into a gas) and warm the equator. Ice caps would begin to melt to form an ocean. Building such shield wouldnt be easy but it is not impossible.
@@Culaio wouldn’t a process like that take thousands of years and even if we’re somehow successful how are we going to deal with foreign bacteria that will bring about new diseases when we still struggle with our own here on earth…
@@erathen6311 We sped up a process that should've taken hundreds of years on Earth (outside of any major changes) so why not Mars. Also, as far as we know right now there is no life on Mars. Any diseases that come from Mars will have evolved from diseases that originally came from Earth and by the time that is even a possibility we'd be long gone.
@NoobyestOnYT You don't need to terraform mars to make it livable, infact setting up regular colony hubs would be quicker, just as effective, cheaper, and less long terms and likely to go unstable. We will probably all see mars slowly become a city if you are so far younger than maybe 30 or perhaps even 60.
Of course we don't have the technology to do this as of now, but theoretically, given the right time and equipment, we could terraform both Venus and Mars. Since Venus needs to loose some of it's atmosphere and Mars needs to gain a lot of atmospheric pressure (and heat) we could potentially take some of Venus' atmosphere and use it to assist with terraforming Mars, as it would increase both the atmospheric pressure of Mars, and it's heat due to most of Venus' atmosphere being comprised of greenhouse gasses. Remember that this is not a full solution for either planets though, as this process would only require a small portion of Venus' atmosphere also, CO₂ and H₂SO₄ does not make a breathable atmosphere. This would likely do close to nothing to assist in the terraforming of Venus, and only provide a temporary solution to Mars' atmospheric pressure and heat problems. Realistically, this probably wouldn't actually happen, it is just a theory (an interesting one, in my opinion) but perhaps it could occur that Venus' atmosphere may be used in a similar manner to how I have explained in the event that we as a species do decide to make the attempt to colonize and terraform it.
Is it any different then being the child of immigrants?? Just say hey our species is from Earth but we made Mars livable for us so we live here now too. We go on vacation to visit your grandma on earth every now and then

I beg to differ. No matter how overwhelming the challenges may be, the only certain mistake we can do is to believe we can rely on living solely on Earth for an undetermined period of time. I´d rather die trying rather than perishing on Earth arms crossed, thinking any attempt of colonizing Mars might be a ´mistake´.
@@CiphersVII In the correct words, "we ran out of resources on earth because we can't gain back all the energy we converted to heat and friction, so we need to go colonize Mars to use its resources to keep living.
This is exciting. Im a space nerd and proud of it haha. Wish we could have the tech to extend our lives indefinitely so I can see how far humanity goes. 🙌
If we didn't die of old age, there would be mass starvation, unless everyone agrees to stop making babies, which is something that would be opposed with extreme violence.
It's a mistake because there are other candidates in our solar system (Venus and Titan) that require less fantastic technological inventions (no magnetosphere and no real atmosphere on Mars) with which to possibly complete a terraforming project.
Mercury is too close to the Sun, Venus’ atmosphere is so filled with CO2 that it’s far hotter than Mercury, Titan and other moons might work but even still the travel distance is much greater than Mars. We’re lucky enough to even have a world like Mars nearby
Will someone PLEASE tell me how we're planning on keeping an atmosphere on a planet without a magnetosphere? I know it's possible to terraform Mars given enough time and technology but seriously, how is this any different than trying to inflate a balloon with a hole in it? ...and don't even start with the balloon reasoning, I know it's garbage but hopefully I don't just get a bunch of responses picking that really crappy analogy apart. Won't any attempt we make at releasing atmospheric gases and whatever else just be blown away by the sun faster than we can produce them?
We don't have the technology atm. To be on Mars now will require domes or subsurface dwellings. But! That doesn't mean we won't have the technology in the future. At one time, we didn't think *any* atmosphere could hang on to the planet - that it would all be blown away. Yet it's there, and even produces clouds by that mountain peak in the southern region, and sandstorms... I'm more concerned about the temperature. Night side of Mars is not survivable without shelter. Personally, I'm curious what "spinning up" the planet would do. Maybe even creating a condition where more atmosphere is possible? Maybe hold more heat? I'm kinda psyched about that 13mi crater on the moon. We don't have the technology to build a dome they say... but if we wanted it bad enough, and threw enough money at it, of course it could be done.
Personally, I think it would be a waste of energy and resources to generate a breathable atmosphere on Mars. Better to Para-terraform, by covering the surface with habitable buildings and to continually expand the living area like this. It would probably be like living in a giant shopping mall. As for the planet's atmosphere, if you really want to change it, just focus on atmospheric pressure and temperature, instead of breathability, then maybe you can accomplish it by pumping out a bunch of CFCs. Many Fluorocarbons are much heavier molecules than CO2, and so will more easily be retained in the atmosphere and contribute more towards atmospheric pressure. Along with this they trap heat more easily. This all means that you would need much less of them than CO2 or oxygen in order to create and retain your atmosphere.
The only related proposal I've seen was placing a magnetic field at Mars L1 Lagrange point. In addition to preserving the atmosphere, some possible benefits: Deceased radiation. Natural build up of atmosphere from gasses escaping the crust. Naturally thickening atmosphere would trigger greenhouse effect melting the ice and CO2 at the polls. There was a proposal to do the same thing for Earth. I think they estimated the cost at $100 Billion, which seems extremely low.
@@nolan4339 I agree, and there are non-cost benefits. The thin atmosphere is easier to protect from Martian dust storms because the wind doesn't have as much mass, just the dust - the light rovers and landers weren't sent tumbling and their instruments snapped off by 70 MPH winds.
@@1SCme 100 billion!? That's funny. The James Webb telescope comes to mind. "Alright gang, all we need is about 100 mill and two years or so..." 15 years and billions later...
Many people may not realize that the red coloration predominating on the Martian surface is due to Iron Oxides. Imagine the quantities of oxygen that could potentially be liberated from those oxides without depleting precious reserves of water.
I don't know why when people discuss Titon, they always fail to mention the massive amounts of radiation Saturn produces. I also wonder how the gravity waves would affect the oceans of water.
You actually only need to build a thin mirror the size of a few kilometers or a series of smaller mirrors at the L1 point at Venus to effectively make a good solar mirror.
lol that would be difficult , there is a very simple way to do the same just differently . just need something between sun and Venus to block the light or reduce it .
Not really. Venus days is about 243 earth days.Venus rotation is too slow, it will fry everything at the side facing to the sun and at the dark side it will be very cold.
I don't understand the idea behind it. If we have the technology to "terra-form" mars, why don't we use that same technology to work here on a planet that has everything and more abundant than Mars? We can't even stop the ever growing deserts. Why do we have to go to a planet to do something unimaginaly more difficult?
Most deserts are shrinking due to global warming (causing more rain) and CO2 addition to the atmosphere promoting plant growth. If a desert is growing, it's usually due to extracting excessive amounts of riverwater and groundwater for human use.
main reason - in case of cosmic disaster/event - gamma burst / rogue black hole / super nova explosion / meteors / rogue planets - we cant hold all eggs in one basket... besides earth is gone - it cannot be saved - what u, me or other 7.6bil other ppl thinks means nothing we have 0 saying in future of this planet... most of ppl think that if we start drive electric cars it would help and yet if tomorrow all the cars/trucks would disappear from this planet it would have almost 0 impact...
Imagine spending trillions on bettering earth and all of that will be irrelevant when an asteroid makes a sequel to the dinosaurs extinction. Plus tell me which sounds more appealing: humans make life interplanetary maybe even go to different solar systems, explore the universe. Or just use the already slowly crippling earth until we run out of resources or wait for a asteroid to wipe us out. Number 2 sounds sad doesn’t it? Now you tell me what you think.
Who said we can’t fix our own planet? And what makes you think Earth was broken to begin with? Extinction events occur every 26 - 30 million years on Earth. The main purpose of colonizing another planet is to avoid complete extinction of the human race.
@@TheBrandicus Old Indian proverb: "When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money."
@@TheBrandicus Okay, so you think that we can completely change the atmosphere, shape another planet to our desire, but we can't stop an extinction level event on our own planet?
I've been saying for years that Venus is really the best option here. It's closer, its mass and gravity are only slightly less than that of Earth's, and as for the magnetosphere, Venus likely lacks one of those because of a lack of convection in its molten core due to a uniform temperature from the outer to inner radius, as opposed to Mars which has already completely solidified. I'm not sure if significantly cooling Venus' atmosphere would be enough to produce a convection effect all the way down through the mantle, but it seems to me to be a no-brainer compared to Mars, where we'd have to somehow liquify the core again. Cooling would not, in fact, necessitate some silly megastructure as this video is proposing. You'd need a big array of mirrors in orbit, which is certainly much more achievable and realistic with today's technology. We'd probably need to spin it up a bit, but if we're proposing throwing asteroids/comets around for all of these terraforming projects anyway, I don't see how that's much of a downside. Really wish that Musk and co would get off the Mars train, but hey, I'm just some guy on the internet, right?
Surface temparature on Venus is 900 degree celcius it's not possible to cool down a planet artificially however it's possible to heat up a planet either slowly using reflective panels in the host planet orbit it will catch the otherwise sunrays that go astray and focus it on the planet or the fast way by dropping thermonuclear weapons on the true magnetic poles . And it's wrong , Venus is not in the habitable zone ,Venus is not in the Goldilocks . On the contrary Jupiter's moon Europa has a liquid water underground ocean covered by ice on top about 10 miles thick , under that liquid ocean , so the best option is Mars and the second best option is Europa
Already have, there are so many resources on other planets that would help the earth, the moon, which is super close, has so many resources which would help us to go green, second it would boost the economy, creating more jobs as the space race roars to life once more
U missed the whole point ma dude... We want to colonize other planets so that when Earth becomes uninhabitable ( yes that will eventually happen but not in our lifetimes ) we would not go extinct.
it really isn't either-or, space travel might be more in the news lately, but it's not like money is being diverted away from charity and environmental work for space exploration. Our issue with our planet is just inefficiency, space travel is all about efficiency and we can learn a lot from it.

Attempting to terraform Mars would be a huge gamble until we understand what happened to Mars previously. I have heard that Mars once had water and an atmosphere. We need to understand what happened to change that in order to make a better determination as to whether terraforming would be a viable possibility.
I’m willing to bet an asteroid is the culprit, judging by the lopsidedness and largest volcano in the solar system. Were talking about about an impact strong enough to severally damage the core, and an outlet needed for all that pressure. Olympus Mons in turn super heating the atmosphere and cooking up the moisture turning Mars into a mini-Venus and darkening the sky. This super dense atmosphere now allowing more heat transfer from ground outward, cooling much of the mantle and radiating that heat into space but also sheering any warming that could return from the sun. After hundreds millions of years however, eventually not enough heat from mantle anymore being transferred and the planet began its long bounce-back into eternal nuclear winter. At this point, the effects of the lack of dynamo thanks to the cooldown of the mantle, now allowing solar winds to slowly kick away atmosphere till it became what we see to this day.
@@MarsStarcruiser Very informative. So what measures could humans take to counteract these factors? Or we even capable yet of taking those countermeasures?
@@curtisrodriguez938 strangely enough, asteroid impacts now would be more helpful than bad. Mars no longer has enough unsolidified mantle or super thick atmosphere, to radiate heat very quickly from the ground anymore and further asteroid impacts would start storing alot of heat back in the planet again. Thats why many terraforming strategy ideas have little fear of problems associated with orbital bombardment in its current state. There are many ways we can counter asteroid impacts however, say after terraforming such as deflection or simply harvesting. We do have the base technologies associated, just would need implementation of such tech on large enough scale is all. Some people “hyper” worried(excessive) about solar winds depleting atmosphere and undoing terraforming efforts again but their worries are unreasonable. If we were ever achieve similar atmospheric pressure as Earth, on Mars. Even if say we didn’t employ magnetic shield deflection at L1 Lagrange to counter solar wind, it was estimated that it was still take in excess of a million years for the solar winds to bring martian atmosphere back to a point where planet was no longer habitable anymore. Yes solar winds did slowly eat away the atmosphere before but over the course of hundreds of millions of years. We could do alot and maybe inadvertently fix many of the planets internal problems with the kind of heat our activity would bring to Mars over that million years, that claims of terraforming being “pointless because no dynamo,” are greatly exaggerated
@@jdrhea6712Really? With that kind of pessimistic thinking, we would not have the sciences of geology or astronomy which do tell us what happened before.
Imagine spending centuries trying to terraform mars and living in domes Only to get hit by a solar flare and losing every electronical appliance and knowing your dead cause you can't repair your oxygen machines in time
Good point. The video doesn't show underground cities, which would be essential given the radiation. Same for the Moon. You bet that once the first few exploration missions get done, the first real mission to start preparations for colonization will involve sending mining and digging equipment to Mars, plus a few large dish antennas.
@@dtvjho Mars already has a partial atmosphere, one of the first moves would be to improve that atmosphere. If we were able to get an atmosphere as thick as earth's, radiation would be a lesser problem.
12 minutes, 17 seconds saved. Mars has no magnetic field, so terraforming is an exercise in futility. Solar winds & radiation will strip away the atmosphere faster than we could make it.

This right here, this comment literally makes no sense. First of all if we even start terraforming mars we will have the technology to save earth already. So most likely if we even got to the point of terraforming mars, earth would be fine. If you can terraform a planet you can terraform the Earth. Checkmate.
Are you dumb? The planet has been hit by asteroids more times than your mom has gone down on your dad, it has experienced extinction events numerous times as well. The planet will be fine.
No it's not funny.. We have no other option but to consider terraforming. Earth won't be safe forever, and in my opinion its better to go out there and exploit the other planets for resources for further exploration of space.
And how are we gonna save the planet you mean? The only threat the planet is facing in the future is the sun's expansion. All life on the planet could die off and the planet would still be fine. The planet doesn't rely it's existence on the life growing on it. Life do however rely on habitable planets which is the whole reason for terraforming and just traveling beyond our solar system. We're not aiming for space just so we can abandon an old planet for something new and cool. We're trying to make sure humans live longer than the age of our star and to do that we gotta terraform. Seriously. Why do people keep thinking "saving the planet only" to be the solution for mankind? If you ignore leaving the planet you're gonna make sure future people don't get to either, which results in a warm crusty hug from the sun in the end.

Im glad you mentioned about the magnetosphere and gravity because i believe these are the biggest problems to overcome. Two options for the magnetosphere - 1) nuke one of the two moons out of orbit to use the gravitational potential energy to try to cause some reaction that will activate the lower mantle and core to reactivate its magnetosphere. 2) a more promising solution is to produce a large enough magnet in orbit to produce the magnetosphere. Though a magnet of this size with the means to create the magnetosphere seems out of reach, there are large iron and nickel based M-type asteroids in the belt (such as Psyche-16) that could potentially be knocked into mars' orbit with a bit of orbital mechanics. Only with a magnetosphere I would then think about converting the atmosphere. As for the gravity side, you can potentially increase the gravity if you slow the rotation of mars. This reduces the centripetal force and the radius of mars would decrease F= GM/r^2. But I personally think the secret to gravity is probably in particle physics. Only speculating but it would be interesting to see if gravity isn't just caused by mass but from certain mesons or bosons or something. This might mean that you could make materials with extra gravity such as tiles to walk on but thats just a bit of a wield speculation and i don't know much about particle physics :P. What would you do with the carbon monoxide after you get the oxygen? its a complete waste product.
I don't agree, no. I'm still waiting for a citation and a reason to agree. I can be convinced, but I think there's a lot to be overcome before I would consider that as even coming close to being a priority for humanity. Honestly, this isn't something regular people think too much about, if at all, so it's kind of a lame sweeping generalization to begin with. We have bigger problems than to pontificate on some theoretical tera forming possibilities that we don't have the technology or resources to utilize. I could go on, but honestly, do I even have to?
Cheaper, but time consuming. In case you haven't noticed, there aren't a lot of habitable worlds nearby, and by nearby I mean those that we can get to within a few centuries
Lol cheaper? have you already constructed such a ark? We are able to terraform we do it on earth all the time but I never heard anybody talking about sending colonists to other stars or even to decent planets from other stars you obviously have no idea about the distances involved Pretty sure we are able to terraform an other planet within the solar system in some decades maybe even now with huge amount of money
Scientists be talking about terraforming other planets while they still can't terraform Earth. The planet isn't suddenly becoming uninhabitable, it's doing it slowly over time.
I agree, Idc if God created this world of ours but it's not my fault that earth is being destroyed because of our/we human's mistakes. It's better to have hope in terraforming another planet so we could live on, rather slowly dying on earth (I still have hope left on reviving earth but so far from what I'm witnessing well... it looks like it's impossible) (Rather accepting My fate I would prefer doing everything that I can in order to advance our technology so we could have place to live on)
ok i havent watched it yet but i want to predict the answer first: "because we should focus on fixing earth before we go somewhere else" or something stupid like that.
@Menacing Hat to people like you, any new ideas are weird, crazy, insane or delusional or whatever you like to call it, ex. there were times that the horses are irreplaceable and a running machine was crazy. there were times that the earth was the center of the universe not so long ago, inventors of the airplanes look very stupid. but look at us now.
By now, it seems clear that colonizing mars is going to remain a pipe dream for at least centruies to come. In the meanwhile, we'd better stop terraforming earth to look like mars.
Can you guys explain how the rotational speed affects the mass of an object? So far what I have learned it's the mass of an object which gives it its gravitational pull. Since the rotational speed does not affect the mass, why would the interaction between earth and moon be any different from what it is now if the moon was spinning faster?
Everyone glosses over another issue on making Mars atmosphere. Olympus Mons extends too high in the martian orbit meaning that when creating a denser atmosphere the friction will start to grind on it causing it to begin to rip at the atmosphere until the volcano is reduced enough in size. You don't need mirrors 4 times larger than Venus as you can find the perfect placement between Venus and the sun where the light will be blocked and the mirror will be its minimal size.
one day, human will so atone for the planet earth that the only chance for salvation will be terraforming Mars. and to be honest, I really don't want to become witness this event ...

Without solar winds stripping away at the planet, frozen carbon dioxide at the ice caps on either pole would begin to sublimate (change from a solid into a gas) and warm the equator. Ice caps would begin to melt to form an ocean.

You will.
how old are you?
You must be really old if you are worrying about that
@NoobyestOnYT You don't need to terraform mars to make it livable, infact setting up regular colony hubs would be quicker, just as effective, cheaper, and less long terms and likely to go unstable. We will probably all see mars slowly become a city if you are so far younger than maybe 30 or perhaps even 60.
Of course we don't have the technology to do this as of now, but theoretically, given the right time and equipment, we could terraform both Venus and Mars. Since Venus needs to loose some of it's atmosphere and Mars needs to gain a lot of atmospheric pressure (and heat) we could potentially take some of Venus' atmosphere and use it to assist with terraforming Mars, as it would increase both the atmospheric pressure of Mars, and it's heat due to most of Venus' atmosphere being comprised of greenhouse gasses.
Remember that this is not a full solution for either planets though, as this process would only require a small portion of Venus' atmosphere also, CO₂ and H₂SO₄ does not make a breathable atmosphere. This would likely do close to nothing to assist in the terraforming of Venus, and only provide a temporary solution to Mars' atmospheric pressure and heat problems. Realistically, this probably wouldn't actually happen, it is just a theory (an interesting one, in my opinion) but perhaps it could occur that Venus' atmosphere may be used in a similar manner to how I have explained in the event that we as a species do decide to make the attempt to colonize and terraform it.

I don't know how I found this channel ❤️👽
@The Heir indeed 😅👍
Will someone PLEASE tell me how we're planning on keeping an atmosphere on a planet without a magnetosphere? I know it's possible to terraform Mars given enough time and technology but seriously, how is this any different than trying to inflate a balloon with a hole in it? ...and don't even start with the balloon reasoning, I know it's garbage but hopefully I don't just get a bunch of responses picking that really crappy analogy apart. Won't any attempt we make at releasing atmospheric gases and whatever else just be blown away by the sun faster than we can produce them?
We don't have the technology atm. To be on Mars now will require domes or subsurface dwellings. But! That doesn't mean we won't have the technology in the future.
At one time, we didn't think *any* atmosphere could hang on to the planet - that it would all be blown away. Yet it's there, and even produces clouds by that mountain peak in the southern region, and sandstorms... I'm more concerned about the temperature. Night side of Mars is not survivable without shelter.
Personally, I'm curious what "spinning up" the planet would do. Maybe even creating a condition where more atmosphere is possible? Maybe hold more heat?
I'm kinda psyched about that 13mi crater on the moon. We don't have the technology to build a dome they say... but if we wanted it bad enough, and threw enough money at it, of course it could be done.
Personally, I think it would be a waste of energy and resources to generate a breathable atmosphere on Mars. Better to Para-terraform, by covering the surface with habitable buildings and to continually expand the living area like this. It would probably be like living in a giant shopping mall.
As for the planet's atmosphere, if you really want to change it, just focus on atmospheric pressure and temperature, instead of breathability, then maybe you can accomplish it by pumping out a bunch of CFCs. Many Fluorocarbons are much heavier molecules than CO2, and so will more easily be retained in the atmosphere and contribute more towards atmospheric pressure. Along with this they trap heat more easily. This all means that you would need much less of them than CO2 or oxygen in order to create and retain your atmosphere.
The only related proposal I've seen was placing a magnetic field at Mars L1 Lagrange point. In addition to preserving the atmosphere, some possible benefits: Deceased radiation. Natural build up of atmosphere from gasses escaping the crust. Naturally thickening atmosphere would trigger greenhouse effect melting the ice and CO2 at the polls.
There was a proposal to do the same thing for Earth. I think they estimated the cost at $100 Billion, which seems extremely low.
@@nolan4339 I agree, and there are non-cost benefits. The thin atmosphere is easier to protect from Martian dust storms because the wind doesn't have as much mass, just the dust - the light rovers and landers weren't sent tumbling and their instruments snapped off by 70 MPH winds.

We can't even stop the ever growing deserts. Why do we have to go to a planet to do something unimaginaly more difficult?
Most deserts are shrinking due to global warming (causing more rain) and CO2 addition to the atmosphere promoting plant growth. If a desert is growing, it's usually due to extracting excessive amounts of riverwater and groundwater for human use.
main reason - in case of cosmic disaster/event - gamma burst / rogue black hole / super nova explosion / meteors / rogue planets - we cant hold all eggs in one basket... besides earth is gone - it cannot be saved - what u, me or other 7.6bil other ppl thinks means nothing we have 0 saying in future of this planet... most of ppl think that if we start drive electric cars it would help and yet if tomorrow all the cars/trucks would disappear from this planet it would have almost 0 impact...

@@TheBrandicus Okay, so you think that we can completely change the atmosphere, shape another planet to our desire, but we can't stop an extinction level event on our own planet?
I've been saying for years that Venus is really the best option here. It's closer, its mass and gravity are only slightly less than that of Earth's, and as for the magnetosphere, Venus likely lacks one of those because of a lack of convection in its molten core due to a uniform temperature from the outer to inner radius, as opposed to Mars which has already completely solidified. I'm not sure if significantly cooling Venus' atmosphere would be enough to produce a convection effect all the way down through the mantle, but it seems to me to be a no-brainer compared to Mars, where we'd have to somehow liquify the core again.
Cooling would not, in fact, necessitate some silly megastructure as this video is proposing. You'd need a big array of mirrors in orbit, which is certainly much more achievable and realistic with today's technology. We'd probably need to spin it up a bit, but if we're proposing throwing asteroids/comets around for all of these terraforming projects anyway, I don't see how that's much of a downside.
Really wish that Musk and co would get off the Mars train, but hey, I'm just some guy on the internet, right?
Like what kurzgesat said.
And in the meanwhile having floating nations in the upper sky.
Surface temparature on Venus is 900 degree celcius it's not possible to cool down a planet artificially however it's possible to heat up a planet either slowly using reflective panels in the host planet orbit it will catch the otherwise sunrays that go astray and focus it on the planet or the fast way by dropping thermonuclear weapons on the true magnetic poles . And it's wrong , Venus is not in the habitable zone ,Venus is not in the Goldilocks . On the contrary Jupiter's moon Europa has a liquid water underground ocean covered by ice on top about 10 miles thick , under that liquid ocean , so the best option is Mars and the second best option is Europa
Actually the thick atmosphere of Venus protects itself from the sun's solar winds

Attempting to terraform Mars would be a huge gamble until we understand what happened to Mars previously. I have heard that Mars once had water and an atmosphere. We need to understand what happened to change that in order to make a better determination as to whether terraforming would be a viable possibility.
didn't have a magnetosphere. it got bombarded with solar radiation, and the atmosphere was destroyed. somehow a magnetosphere needs to be made
I’m willing to bet an asteroid is the culprit, judging by the lopsidedness and largest volcano in the solar system. Were talking about about an impact strong enough to severally damage the core, and an outlet needed for all that pressure. Olympus Mons in turn super heating the atmosphere and cooking up the moisture turning Mars into a mini-Venus and darkening the sky.
This super dense atmosphere now allowing more heat transfer from ground outward, cooling much of the mantle and radiating that heat into space but also sheering any warming that could return from the sun. After hundreds millions of years however, eventually not enough heat from mantle anymore being transferred and the planet began its long bounce-back into eternal nuclear winter.
At this point, the effects of the lack of dynamo thanks to the cooldown of the mantle, now allowing solar winds to slowly kick away atmosphere till it became what we see to this day.
@@MarsStarcruiser Very informative. So what measures could humans take to counteract these factors? Or we even capable yet of taking those countermeasures?
@@curtisrodriguez938 strangely enough, asteroid impacts now would be more helpful than bad. Mars no longer has enough unsolidified mantle or super thick atmosphere, to radiate heat very quickly from the ground anymore and further asteroid impacts would start storing alot of heat back in the planet again. Thats why many terraforming strategy ideas have little fear of problems associated with orbital bombardment in its current state.
There are many ways we can counter asteroid impacts however, say after terraforming such as deflection or simply harvesting. We do have the base technologies associated, just would need implementation of such tech on large enough scale is all.
Some people “hyper” worried(excessive) about solar winds depleting atmosphere and undoing terraforming efforts again but their worries are unreasonable. If we were ever achieve similar atmospheric pressure as Earth, on Mars. Even if say we didn’t employ magnetic shield deflection at L1 Lagrange to counter solar wind, it was estimated that it was still take in excess of a million years for the solar winds to bring martian atmosphere back to a point where planet was no longer habitable anymore.
Yes solar winds did slowly eat away the atmosphere before but over the course of hundreds of millions of years. We could do alot and maybe inadvertently fix many of the planets internal problems with the kind of heat our activity would bring to Mars over that million years, that claims of terraforming being “pointless because no dynamo,” are greatly exaggerated

Mars once had life on it (maybe) but got wiped out but that time Earth didn't so imagine if Martians did the same things we did like thinking of making earth habitable earth once was covered in Lava.
Washing my black hoodie, purple bed sheet, grey bed sheet, my ouija/ upside star skull beanie hat, and my black hooded robe in the washing machine, its vibrating loudly and violently 😂.
*Few minutes later* well not any more. Its rinsing now.
That's while I watch vids.
Hey Destiny. I just wanted to say your videos are spectacular.
If you're looking for an idea for a new video, I'm not sure but I would imagine that a lot of people would very much enjoy watching a video about building a substantial moon from asteroid material for mars to help warm the core.
You make amazing content i really enjoy it keep it going.
I love how humans want to invent intergalactic space travel....to farm lol. We are so cute.
If we finally managed to make a spaceship that is capable of light speed..then baby I am going to be the new Francis Drake and explore other galaxies for other life forms. Or just for the fun
Yeah, especially as our earth resources are dwindling and we need it so badly here.
you'd be surprised how important farming other resources from space is
@@caliburbermuda5422 yeah, its just very hive mind. With all of space at our disposal, no one talks about finding their own island and living there til they die. Everyone talks about staying with the collective...its interesting

no, it went over it.
Very extensive research, good job!
Fun fact: titan will be habitable with the expansion of the sun and will eventually develop life
and then, boom. solar system no more
@@the_catboi good one
How can you say that it will develop life with such certainty?
Millions of years from now. And life is not that common so still pretty unlikely.
@@gabrieljames4186 not 100% sure i just read an article about it but it will be habitibal obviously @JPthers who knows
Put simply:
this Mars person have too many Red Flags to form any type of relationship with.
Your vids have so many commercials it keeps me from drifting off or getting distracted, every time I turn around I'm suddenly listening to someone shouting about diet plans
It’s funny how we want to terraform another planet when we could just save this one 🤔
This right here, this comment literally makes no sense. First of all if we even start terraforming mars we will have the technology to save earth already. So most likely if we even got to the point of terraforming mars, earth would be fine. If you can terraform a planet you can terraform the Earth. Checkmate.
Are you dumb? The planet has been hit by asteroids more times than your mom has gone down on your dad, it has experienced extinction events numerous times as well. The planet will be fine.
No it's not funny.. We have no other option but to consider terraforming. Earth won't be safe forever, and in my opinion its better to go out there and exploit the other planets for resources for further exploration of space.
And how are we gonna save the planet you mean? The only threat the planet is facing in the future is the sun's expansion. All life on the planet could die off and the planet would still be fine. The planet doesn't rely it's existence on the life growing on it. Life do however rely on habitable planets which is the whole reason for terraforming and just traveling beyond our solar system. We're not aiming for space just so we can abandon an old planet for something new and cool. We're trying to make sure humans live longer than the age of our star and to do that we gotta terraform.
Seriously. Why do people keep thinking "saving the planet only" to be the solution for mankind? If you ignore leaving the planet you're gonna make sure future people don't get to either, which results in a warm crusty hug from the sun in the end. But at least the planet was green for a while, right? How nice. For you. And your grandkids. For people faaar in the future though? Nah. They get to then watch the ocean dry out. Life being cooked by a burning radiating red giant. Their kids being the last generation maybe. If only they had thought about leaving the planet at some point... Ah well. Bye life on earth. Bye the whole earth as well actually. Now that's funny!
Why dont try both?
I think digging to the core, to find out why the planet is not producing a stronger magnetic field, is a good idea.
i don't think that's possible
@Aurinkomakkara Well you never know if we can colonize Mars then I’m sure we could soon find a way to dig not the core.
@@mandocuevas7592 the deepest hole on earth doesn't even come close scratching the surface of Earth. Why do you expect we could dig a 100 times deeper one on another planet?
@Aurinkomakkara Hey I said soon which would probably be like over 50 years
@@mandocuevas7592 more like 150 years
your voice is just like, amazing, i cant
We live on a planet where we have perfectly evolved to live, and we are in the process of rending it inhabitable through climate change. So what makes us think we can travel millions of miles to live on a planet that is hostile to organic life ?
Exactly what I'm thinking 🤔. They've sent a robot to see if it can generate oxygen from CO2, so why not use that tech here on earth.
Climate change is natural. Were just making it worse. The earth will throw us into an ice age like it has done 3 times before when the world's got to hot naturally
Because humanity always feels entitled to survival
Im glad you mentioned about the magnetosphere and gravity because i believe these are the biggest problems to overcome. Two options for the magnetosphere - 1) nuke one of the two moons out of orbit to use the gravitational potential energy to try to cause some reaction that will activate the lower mantle and core to reactivate its magnetosphere. 2) a more promising solution is to produce a large enough magnet in orbit to produce the magnetosphere. Though a magnet of this size with the means to create the magnetosphere seems out of reach, there are large iron and nickel based M-type asteroids in the belt (such as Psyche-16) that could potentially be knocked into mars' orbit with a bit of orbital mechanics. Only with a magnetosphere I would then think about converting the atmosphere. As for the gravity side, you can potentially increase the gravity if you slow the rotation of mars. This reduces the centripetal force and the radius of mars would decrease F= GM/r^2.
But I personally think the secret to gravity is probably in particle physics. Only speculating but it would be interesting to see if gravity isn't just caused by mass but from certain mesons or bosons or something. This might mean that you could make materials with extra gravity such as tiles to walk on but thats just a bit of a wield speculation and i don't know much about particle physics :P.
What would you do with the carbon monoxide after you get the oxygen? its a complete waste product.
6:22 is that woman half naked ?? LOL
Idk LOL
No bra..lol
"Most of humanity agrees we need a second home in our solar system". Citation?
Can you name anyone anyone at all that disagrees? Even yourself?
I don't agree, no. I'm still waiting for a citation and a reason to agree. I can be convinced, but I think there's a lot to be overcome before I would consider that as even coming close to being a priority for humanity. Honestly, this isn't something regular people think too much about, if at all, so it's kind of a lame sweeping generalization to begin with. We have bigger problems than to pontificate on some theoretical tera forming possibilities that we don't have the technology or resources to utilize. I could go on, but honestly, do I even have to?
It is way cheaper to build an interstellar ark and go to a decent planet.
Noah... is that you?... Where can I buy tickets
Cheaper, but time consuming. In case you haven't noticed, there aren't a lot of habitable worlds nearby, and by nearby I mean those that we can get to within a few centuries
@@nicholaslee5473 Life extension changes the definition of "nearby"
@@nicholaslee5473 Depends on if we can find better ways to accelerate spaceships
Lol cheaper? have you already constructed such a ark?
We are able to terraform we do it on earth all the time but I never heard anybody talking about sending colonists to other stars or even to decent planets from other stars
you obviously have no idea about the distances involved
Pretty sure we are able to terraform an other planet within the solar system in some decades maybe even now with huge amount of money
Scientists be talking about terraforming other planets while they still can't terraform Earth. The planet isn't suddenly becoming uninhabitable, it's doing it slowly over time.
You must be well over 50 cause your wisdom shines thru...
God: "I'm Gonna Create This Planet Called Earth So Human's Can Live On It And Thrive"
Human's: "So Anyway's I Started Terraforming"
Humans can never settle. They will always seek to expand their horizons.
I agree, Idc if God created this world of ours but it's not my fault that earth is being destroyed because of our/we human's mistakes. It's better to have hope in terraforming another planet so we could live on, rather slowly dying on earth (I still have hope left on reviving earth but so far from what I'm witnessing well... it looks like it's impossible)
(Rather accepting My fate I would prefer doing everything that I can in order to advance our technology so we could have place to live on)
@@newleaf626 Why terraform another planet? If we had the tech to terraform, surely we could terraform earth back to health???
ok i havent watched it yet but i want to predict the answer first:
"because we should focus on fixing earth before we go somewhere else" or something stupid like that.
Nope! U messed up
I can imagine history classes if mars is terraformed...
in the future, there will be no classes no schools, all learnings will be downloaded directly to our brains.
@Menacing Hat to people like you, any new ideas are weird, crazy, insane or delusional or whatever you like to call it,
ex. there were times that the horses are irreplaceable and a running machine was crazy.
there were times that the earth was the center of the universe
not so long ago, inventors of the airplanes look very stupid.
but look at us now.
@Menacing Hatat least you admitted that it's not impossible.
@Menacing Hat hey tech is advancing so fast it could perhaps be a thing... tho it is a bit outlandish
By now, it seems clear that colonizing mars is going to remain a pipe dream for at least centruies to come. In the meanwhile, we'd better stop terraforming earth to look like mars.
Wouldnt terraforming the moon and giving it a rotation cause severe consequences on Earth?
It would be EXTREMELY dangerous to mess with the Moon.
Yes, that's why nobody should touch the moon
At most it should be turned into a launching station but never a mining base or a dwarf planet
Yep. It take away our seasons and mess with the gravitational pull it has on earth. The oceans would change drastically.
Can you guys explain how the rotational speed affects the mass of an object? So far what I have learned it's the mass of an object which gives it its gravitational pull. Since the rotational speed does not affect the mass, why would the interaction between earth and moon be any different from what it is now if the moon was spinning faster?
Thought the biosphere project went bad. And are those domes gonna be able to with stand
Nope! I'm thinking bout how they gone block meteors nd stroids nd shit.. They got it✌

@@timmzzzz88 they say genius, but he won't take a test to prove that. He's a good con man though.
Everyone glosses over another issue on making Mars atmosphere. Olympus Mons extends too high in the martian orbit meaning that when creating a denser atmosphere the friction will start to grind on it causing it to begin to rip at the atmosphere until the volcano is reduced enough in size.
You don't need mirrors 4 times larger than Venus as you can find the perfect placement between Venus and the sun where the light will be blocked and the mirror will be its minimal size.

10:14 Venus does not need gravitic manipulation, which is a lot better than Mars.
The sulfuric acid can be mined/expelled from the planet, or possibly energetically split into
oxygen atoms. (continuous collider systems)
If done carefully, there'd be no excess neutrons.
Surplus O2 and other gasses can be shipped to Mars.

Every American blindly believes that accent to be scientific fact. Now, a southern or Appalachian accent, would be discarded if it even discovered the cure for a rare deadly disease.
Its impossible to talk about mars without bringing in Space X.
Space X... Kerbal Space Program in real life.
true dat
Titan would most definitely be the best option especially since it’s the least destructive in these hypotheses, I mean come on the risk of not only a nuclear winter and minor to major loss of polar materials on Mars, the destruction of Venuses surface and the possibility of worsening the lava flow and seismic activity on Venus pushing the hypothesized time frame wayyy out of boundaries (just think of the mass extinction of dinosaurs after just ONE good sized asteroid) and the mirror hypothesis on titan is wayyy less intrusive and far less destructive and damaging to the moon definitely solidifies that for me !! 🙂
Only issue with Titan is how far it is, We cannot reach it yet. Or at least we don't have the balls
On Venus, we can live in the upper atmosphere which is very hospitable for human life, similar earth temperatures and Earth pressures
With no spinning core and thus not a strong magnetosphere, Mars would be marked off any list of terraform candidates.
Elon Musk has entered the chat
Con man he is
For an earthling to go to mars to live where the gravity is only something like 1/10th of earths would mean shortening one’s life by decades with a lot of physical suffering towards and at the end .

With Nano tech you can transform any particle into another at any moment. So H2O and an atmosphere would be an easy task if we use nano tech.
