Living on mars is going to be like living in the frontiers in the past. Life is hell, because you are miles away from any help, resources are limited and you have to be self-sufficient enough. Even tho technology has advanced, i dont think there's going to be any difference. It takes a wild soul to settle in the frontiers, and will be the same for mars. But i believe such people exist.
Great video. Loved the animations and thorough exploration of the timeline. One recommendation: for timeline videos like this, keep a date or time indicator always visible somewhere on screen. There were a few points during it where I lost track of where we were on the timeline. Also would have liked to see a quick conversion of days-to-years too just so I don't have to do the math in my head.
Living on mars would probably suck. You would be indoors almost all the time, and indoors would mean underground or in a mountain. Building structures on the surface isn't feasable unless we find more efficiant ways to protect against radiation. Either way, a neat video. Would like to see one about possible colonization of Titan next :P
Imagine being born on mars. As cool as it sounds, i’m sure many kids will feel like they’re missing out on the plethora of activities and sights to see that earth offers.
It would be a human rights violation to have a child off world. It's doubtful a pregnancy or infancy would even survive. Complex organisms likely can only survive in their own world.
mars’ gravity is less than half that on earth and - although i am no doctor - i can’t imagine that would be very good for a fetus or baby (not to mention the adult settlers). like we only get to observe the effects of different gravity through the ISS (i.e 0 gravity) i think - and they include serious cardiovascular, skeletal and muscular issues - but Mars’ gravity is still less than half that of Earth’s. i feel like that’s glossed over a lot in discussing Martian colonies, especially when it could mean the maximal life expectancy for a martian is only 50 or smthn (and that isnt even including the solar radiation).
@@hackneyedstudios4699 Everything we know so far about low gravity health risks is based on observations from astronauts who spent prolonged periods of time in orbit (zero gravity). Who knows, maybe even half the earth's gravity is enough to fully or at least mostly get rid of the risks.
@@-eternal We've been evolving for the last 500 million years in earth like gravity, i think "maybe" is a far stretch. Even if they somehow survived, their heart would be so weak that just a short exposure to earth's gravity would be lethal.
Politically Mars would probably be much better than earth, because instead of having a bunch of politicians, who don’t care about anything in command, there would most likely be a scientist of some kind in command, because their lives depend on it, and if there’s a scientist in command, even if the scientist is only familiar with a very specific field, still, he would be looking out for the interest of the survival of the colony in the long term and not just the short term. Mars would have the best politics.
IMO that’s only the case as long as the colony is not self sufficient and is still in its starting phase. Once it’s established and stable, and maybe more outposts are being built, Mars will become interesting as a starting point for travels deeper into space. Mining operations in the Asteroid Belt most likely would be launched and managed from Mars. At this point it’s probably “safe” enough for businessmen and “normal” people to live there and claim their piece of pie of the planet. And that’s where we will see the shift from scientists to businessmen and politicians running the show IMO.
It would be a great opportunity to try out an alternative way of government. I can't say I can think of an alternative but the system we have now certainly isn't perfect...
That's right! Better animation=it's more possible! "If we can render it on a computer screen it must be possible!" The Idiocracy delusions from in these comments are amazing.
@@David-wc5zl dude what are you on to? He is just praising the animations and NEVER EVER did @batman.2022 or for that matter anybody else in the comment section as of my knowledge say that this must be possible
I thought solar energy on mars was unlikely to work because of the extremely fine grained dust. It statically attaches to things, and can be extremely difficult to remove.
The dust is a problem with the whole idea of Mars colonisation. It gets anywhere unwanted, it will contaminate. It's extremely toxic, dangerous, sharp, and damaging. Even a bit of dust inside a suit or station would cause huge issues. We can't have bases above the surface because the radiation would definitely cause a problem. So they'd need to be under rock. Which again, considering the dust issue, seems unlikely.
It’s still being debated upon by researchers and scientists. Obviously, until finer tests are done at the locations of the hypothetical Mars colonization site, speculation is foremost at how solar energy may or may not work. But this is just what I found when I looked it up for curiosity sake - I am no expert
This was an incredible video hopefully we live to see what happens after day 10,000 and look back at this video and others like it to see how far we went vs how for we expected
I'd rather be a mind upload, such that neither Earth nor Mars could compete with the wonders which enhanced humans and AI gods can dream up. But that isn't going to happen in my lifetime, and I'm so poor I'd be among the last ones in. I'll just stay on Earth, get ignored by doctors, and continue to lose cognitive faculties until I have no idea who or what I am anymore. Yay, future!
This is absurdly ambitious. People will not rush to Mars. Life there will not be attractive to the vast majority of people, as it lacks every single basic comfort and all the things we enjoy on earth. You'd have a hard time getting 1000 people to move to Mars even if you paid them. You have to permanently give up things like going outside, breathing fresh air, eating anything but plants, etc. This is nothing at all like colonizing on earth. Even gathering resources requires you to risk your life.
A bunch of introverted vegans that love sci fi would probably disagree with you. But yeah the first people to move to mars would be the most passionate and lucky
Love the video, but I'd say the reactors will be brought to Mars, as Copenhagen Atomics is already producing thorium reactors out of the factory, once landed they can be online in a matter of days to power the colony (given the infrastructure has been prepared for them, also one of the first things to be build are the fuel stations, to refuel the ships and send them back home so the next wave coming to Mars is even bigger.
LOL. This Deluded Fantasy Certainty is hilarious. "This one thing for earth use kinda exists therefore all the completely unknown off world problems are solved.". The MuskCult Idiocracy is here...and we know it's just the the Bush War Cult looking for an out for losing in Iraq so quickly, messing up the economy, etc.
Very optimistic! I don't think progress on Mars will happen that fast, and chances are the first humans will land on Mars in 2035 or so, but great video!
10:44 this is unreal. We have a very nice and healthy planet, living on Mars is about doing cool things in space and not living on a planet with unbreathable air But, congratulations! Very nice!
@Nobddy they can exercise for months. Mars' gravity isn't zero G like in space, it is about 3rd of earth's gravity. Just like earth's astronaut prepare for Mars or space mission for years before leaving, they can do too.
LOL. It's not possible for a baby to grow off world. That would be a human rights violation anyways. Complex Life is Gravity Specific. The immorality & Insanity of these comments. .
Great Video. I think it's likely that humanoid robots like Tesla's Optimus bot will arrive before humans. They won't have to worry about radiation or the lack of atmosphere and can do the dangerous and dirty work before humans arrive.
Awesome video, but an aspect not mentioned is how we will start trying to terraform mars into a more earth-like planet by for example nuking the north and south poles
One point, craft don't wait until closest approach to travel to mars, they wait for a hohmann transfer window, which is when earth and mars are on opposite sides of the sun. This takes a long time, but requires the least amount of fuel.
I personally think this is a bit unoptimistic. We are trying to look 3 decades into the future but fail to look at the extreme progress we've made in the last 3 decades. Its obviously impossible to know what we will achieve but if we keep up with the technical acceleration we have today, I'm sure we will have achieved the progress of day 10000 a lot earlier, atleast if there is an increased amount of funding or cooperation. (This is just my thoughts and opinions so dont hang me for it)
this is an enormous challenge though. 30 might be TOO optimistic with how little our government and the rich care about long term projects let alone space travel
LOL. There is no timeline. This is never happening because there's nothing on Mars for human life. If there are no resources to sustain life, then it's not a colony. That's called an outpost and nobody is paying for that long term.
@David-wc5zl of course, there is no timeline. This is just an interesting video with a very interesting speculative subject. But I don't agree that it will never happen. If we ever plan on exploring space, Mars or one of its moon is a natural choice. We can make rocketfuel from water ice, and the less gravity we have to fight to get off the planet/moon, the more we have to spare for exploration. Although if we as a species can cooperate well enough to get people into space, it is highly doubtful, in my opinion..
ice as building material be self sealing and give vast structures in no time - spray strung structeres with water from the inside - give everyone 9m diameter luxury apartments, make river-like lakes for indoor walks, seafood and o2 algae (waterlocks as airlocks make living easy )
It's interesting for sure. If you think about it though no one born and raised on Mars would be able to withstand the extra gravity and atmospheric pressure here on earth.
@@Finsftw102 You're talking about a human being born under less gravitational influence growing up in that environment and then suddenly thrusted on a planet that has more gravity. It would be the equivalent of you putting on an extra large weight suit and trying to walk around, it would be hell on your bones and your structure. On top of that their circulatory system over time would evolve to adapt to Mars's environment and gravitational influence. Why do you think we struggle in space with no gravitational influence? Our circulatory system was not equipped or evolved in that kind of environment.
@@Finsftw102Nope. You really don't understand anything here, so why are you pretending to be an expert? You still trust Elon Musk, don't you? LOL. Another member of the Idiocracy.
The starship heading to mars will have to refuel first. Also the first one will be mostly cargo deploying and can launch ahead of the '29 window. they might not decide to land them but rather create mars orbiting station with them. Only reason they would be landing starship will be after they can refuel them or to scrap it for parts/materials. Also the biggest hazard on mars is radiation. Forget about anything being above ground that doesn't have to be there.
@@Shinzon23 personally i think there are 2 issues. Main one is spaceX gets starship up and running in a few years if not by next. Who is going to build all the modules,infrastructure, training ect.? 2nd is it takes at best 6 months one way. that means you either ship early or you need to leave from here with everything and anything and pray you survive until next window. and how is this going to be financed exactly. They are better off just head for the asteroid belt and cross their fingers to find something of value so they can barter on earth or at least draw funds .....
@qa1e2r4 Go watch The Show "for all Mankind" they cover ninety percent of the stuff needed to put a colony on mars in the show. Essentially, you toss a initial wave of unmanned cargo ships with supplies ahead of the main wave of astronauts and do what you can with robots to prepare the site ahead of time; this was also mentioned in The Martian as well. Once you have the cargo ships in place or even have remotely set up habitats and stuff, you then send the astronauts and probably toss another wave of cargo ships loaded with things like food and water supplies that are more immediately needed and set those down next to the Wave 1 stuff. You can actually get air put of martian soil, curiosity rover had a test module for it and that little package could make enough oxygen to sustain a person, so scale it up and you have your air supply even if you don't find deposits of water right away. This entire time your tossing cargo ships you'd be training your astronauts as well; nasa would gleefully use Space X starships as I seriously doubt the SLS will ever be ready, and would be more than willing to work with them for training. We HAVE all the tech needed to go the mars, we've had it since the 80s, but political pressure has always scuttled the plans. Werhner von Braun actually came up with viable at the time plans for a mars colony in the 60s,using computers that are less powerful than my Android Tablet
The time scales of videos like thses are always off. It wouldn't take less than 30 years to build a city this complex on mars. It should take atleast 50+ years. Also considering the transport times, the testing of equipments on a new planet, the time it would take yo develop newer technologies to battle the challenges faced...we are optimistic to be there when this happens. But considering how long its taken us to even return back to our closest interstellar body, 30yrs for Mars quite reaching.
The new world colonization became successful due to economic incentives. Tobacco , sugar, precious metals. For a colony to thrive and eventually be successful , even if it is on mars, it has to eventually have an economic motivator. (Maybe sell high and low gravity technology, artificial systems industry etc) If it doesn’t thrive economically it will continue to just be another research base similar to ones in Antarctica providing scientific research (which in itself is valuable) but requires constant input
Total self sufficiency in 30 years is optimistic, to say the least. A Martian colony will require very advanced technology to function, the kind of stuff we can only make because we have the industrial might of society 7 billion people strong to tap into. They may produce their own food water and even building Materials by then, but their life support will still depend on thousands of very specific parts that are not easy to manufacture from scratch. Just imagine making a rubber seal for an air-hose, the high pressure container for an air tank, the uv-filter lining of a space suit helmet, on Mars. Not to even _mention_ computer chips. They may be able to reach a point where they can handle missing shipments from Earth for a couple of years, but _total_ self sufficiency is something else entirely.
Starships definitely work they can go into orbit and they’re more safe than other rockets because they are tested and improved over time to be more safe and efficient.
@@VisiblyPinkUnicorn If it does explode they would try to find out why it exploded and try to improve the starships so they don’t explode the next launch/mission.
I think it would be more feasible to build large urban settlements in Antarctica in the next 50 years. Water is really abundant, solar and wind energy are available. Living on Mars seems too pretentious
Living in a bubble in Antarctica would be orders of magnitude more hospitable. No internet. No fresh air. Nothing. Would be rougher than many imagine I think.
0:35 That is not the path to go to mars, what's being shown is just the two planets being aligned what nothing to do with the travel or the correct timeing for the launch, it would be better if the visual representation scientifically accurate.
your body would weaken to a point that may be detrimental outside of earth's gravity, some adaptation could occur but the longer you stay the more unlikely you would be able to return
Hi! Love your content but I gotta say - please just do some regular transitions! like just a cut to the next visual. All of the visuals are so cool but my brain literally can't focus on them because I get taken out by a swoosh every few seconds. To the point where I gotta play your content in a different tab and just listen. Maybe it's just me!
The problem is how will the starship return back from mars to earth. Before entering earth there should be a refilling station, using multiple ship each time is a waste of resources and what abt the people how will they go back is also be a main issue, what if there is nor way
I recall one time I was a secret agent on Mars. People were trying to kill me left and right. Now I don’t want to spoil it for you but in the end I defeated the bad guy, got the girl and saved the entire planet.
To me now you are underestimating the speed on colony like that. I’m guessing it will be more around the later half of the 21st century. Though I can’t pin point a time I think it will be around then.
You forgot to add the leGrange fusion/fission satellite that provides a magnetosphere to deflect the high energy radiation away from the settlement. Thus allowing transparent domes for plants and people.
The point of the magnetosphere satellite would be to deflect the high energy radiation around mars whilst letting lower energy wave lengths like light through. It would mimic how the earths magnetosphere works but on a MUCH smaller scale. Whilst the satellite would still need to be HUGE with an insane amount of power it's technically possible. It would allow you to walk around the surface of mars without worrying about radiation exposure. @@-whackd
Literally any unpopulated place on Earth, like deserts, the poles, etc. would be far easier to do this on than Mars. While I think research in this area is still valuable and we should be doing science to try to get a manned mission to Mars, there is simply no incentive to actively colonize it yet. Anything (other than scientific research) we could do on Mars, we could do on Earth easier and better.
Shouldn’t we try doing all this stuff on Antarctica and then just scale up to Mars? That way we’d have some sort of blueprint. And instead of being 36 months away at most times society there would only be 3-5 months away at most.
"Starships" starship originally meant a spacecraft traveling star distances, between stars, not planets in a single system. Elon is bad at naming things, this will be confusing for people in the future.
A variety of power sources is not really necessary. Nuclear is capable and reliable enough to generate power. Battery storage will also be less necessary. Wind and solar are not good renewable resources.
Sometimes we forgot that the origin purpose of travelling the stars was for the benefit of our own planet. The iss does extremely important research for how to help the help the rest of us. From materials science to medical tech the possiblitys are endless, space from the beginning isnt a place of hotels and casinos but a place for science, and that was what Nasa is still about today. But what do i know. Keep that in mind i guess next time you time you stare into the dark abyss and wonder for what purpose it brings.
I'd recommend living in Antarctica for just 3 months. It's a freezing cold, barren wasteland. But, compared to Mars, it's a balmy, normal Earth gravity, normal atmospheric pressure paradise, with air and water all around. (As well as plenty of seafood off the coasts.) And yet, NO ONE wants to live there permanently, and NO ONE does! Thus, who are these idiots who think they want to live, indefinitely, on the God-forsaken hell planet of Mars?
I have an idea... - An orbiting 'farm', will provide fresh foods... oxygen, and a life-boat in case of emergency. - It would need ten acres of Earth soil... As much as two feet deep... A lot of SOIL... maybe too much... BUT, without a food/oxygen/life-boat that is very close to any Mars colonists... They are going to face adversities that preclude their success... - You can extrapolate my meaning.
I have and idea, too: It's simply not worth the time, the effort, or, most importantly, the treasure, to try and put people on Mars permanently or even indefinitely.
It's weird to think that I would love to be living on Mars, but one day there will be people living on Mars that wish they lived on Earth.
The expanse comes to mind.

Very nice video. No future is guaranteed but this is what we should be strivng for. I think that humans will land on Mars by 2050 in the latest.
feels like one of those 10000 days minecraft hardcore videos
Love the videos
I wonder if becoming an interplanetary species might stop the stupid constant fighting over lines on maps?
Nobody is going to be on Mars. Earth is outta time.
ice as building material be self sealing and give vast structures in no time - spray strung structeres with water from the inside
- give everyone 9m diameter luxury apartments, make river-like lakes for indoor walks, seafood and o2 algae
(waterlocks as airlocks make living easy )
It's interesting for sure. If you think about it though no one born and raised on Mars would be able to withstand the extra gravity and atmospheric pressure here on earth.
Yes they would lol they still have human biology
@@Finsftw102 You're talking about a human being born under less gravitational influence growing up in that environment and then suddenly thrusted on a planet that has more gravity. It would be the equivalent of you putting on an extra large weight suit and trying to walk around, it would be hell on your bones and your structure. On top of that their circulatory system over time would evolve to adapt to Mars's environment and gravitational influence. Why do you think we struggle in space with no gravitational influence? Our circulatory system was not equipped or evolved in that kind of environment.
@@Finsftw102Nope. You really don't understand anything here, so why are you pretending to be an expert? You still trust Elon Musk, don't you? LOL. Another member of the Idiocracy.
it's important that how much water reserve it has
I think Mars City could've been called New Ares
Helium City
How about Elon?
@@Glathgrundel "Opportunity" after the rover which lasted over 50 times its intended mission length.
The starship heading to mars will have to refuel first. Also the first one will be mostly cargo deploying and can launch ahead of the '29 window. they might not decide to land them but rather create mars orbiting station with them. Only reason they would be landing starship will be after they can refuel them or to scrap it for parts/materials.
Also the biggest hazard on mars is radiation.
Forget about anything being above ground that doesn't have to be there.
That's why they would send unmanned ones beforehand they would have the refilling equipment
@@Shinzon23 personally i think there are 2 issues.
Main one is spaceX gets starship up and running in a few years if not by next. Who is going to build all the modules,infrastructure, training ect.?
2nd is it takes at best 6 months one way. that means you either ship early or you need to leave from here with everything and anything and pray you survive until next window.
and how is this going to be financed exactly. They are better off just head for the asteroid belt and cross their fingers to find something of value so they can barter on earth or at least draw funds .....
@qa1e2r4 Go watch The Show "for all Mankind" they cover ninety percent of the stuff needed to put a colony on mars in the show.
Essentially, you toss a initial wave of unmanned cargo ships with supplies ahead of the main wave of astronauts and do what you can with robots to prepare the site ahead of time; this was also mentioned in The Martian as well.
Once you have the cargo ships in place or even have remotely set up habitats and stuff, you then send the astronauts and probably toss another wave of cargo ships loaded with things like food and water supplies that are more immediately needed and set those down next to the Wave 1 stuff.
You can actually get air put of martian soil, curiosity rover had a test module for it and that little package could make enough oxygen to sustain a person, so scale it up and you have your air supply even if you don't find deposits of water right away.
This entire time your tossing cargo ships you'd be training your astronauts as well; nasa would gleefully use Space X starships as I seriously doubt the SLS will ever be ready, and would be more than willing to work with them for training.
We HAVE all the tech needed to go the mars, we've had it since the 80s, but political pressure has always scuttled the plans.
Werhner von Braun actually came up with viable at the time plans for a mars colony in the 60s,using computers that are less powerful than my Android Tablet
@@qa1e2r4LOL. You're actually talking about Starship as if its already successful. These MuskCult comments of idiocy are so funny.
The time scales of videos like thses are always off. It wouldn't take less than 30 years to build a city this complex on mars. It should take atleast 50+ years. Also considering the transport times, the testing of equipments on a new planet, the time it would take yo develop newer technologies to battle the challenges faced...we are optimistic to be there when this happens. But considering how long its taken us to even return back to our closest interstellar body, 30yrs for Mars quite reaching.
The new world colonization became successful due to economic incentives. Tobacco , sugar, precious metals. For a colony to thrive and eventually be successful , even if it is on mars, it has to eventually have an economic motivator. (Maybe sell high and low gravity technology, artificial systems industry etc) If it doesn’t thrive economically it will continue to just be another research base similar to ones in Antarctica providing scientific research (which in itself is valuable) but requires constant input
This is the weirdest Surviving Mars playthough I ever watched
wow you just described the gameplay loop of mars
Gee, if we only had a planet that already has air and water. We'd be setup.
Wind farms on Mars!? Isn't the atmosphere quite thin? It wouldn't be a very efficient means of generating electricity.
More dust than sunlight 😢
Total self sufficiency in 30 years is optimistic, to say the least. A Martian colony will require very advanced technology to function, the kind of stuff we can only make because we have the industrial might of society 7 billion people strong to tap into. They may produce their own food water and even building Materials by then, but their life support will still depend on thousands of very specific parts that are not easy to manufacture from scratch.
Just imagine making a rubber seal for an air-hose, the high pressure container for an air tank, the uv-filter lining of a space suit helmet, on Mars. Not to even _mention_ computer chips. They may be able to reach a point where they can handle missing shipments from Earth for a couple of years, but _total_ self sufficiency is something else entirely.
can you teach me this type of animation i will serve you with little fee on your every projects
Multiply this timeline by pi (3.14) and you’ll get the realistic timetable for these events.
I hope that we'll not use Starship to go to Mars, we should use something that... you know, works, for these kind of things.
Starships definitely work they can go into orbit and they’re more safe than other rockets because they are tested and improved over time to be more safe and efficient.
@@tinalobaodavis3598 So you're positive that maybe next time it will not explode?
@@VisiblyPinkUnicorn If it does explode they would try to find out why it exploded and try to improve the starships so they don’t explode the next launch/mission.
@@tinalobaodavis3598 Ok, so Starship doesn't work and they will keep building and launching it until they either make it work or go bankrupt. Got it.
I think it would be more feasible to build large urban settlements in Antarctica in the next 50 years. Water is really abundant, solar and wind energy are available. Living on Mars seems too pretentious
Living in a bubble in Antarctica would be orders of magnitude more hospitable. No internet. No fresh air. Nothing. Would be rougher than many imagine I think.
0:35 That is not the path to go to mars, what's being shown is just the two planets being aligned what nothing to do with the travel or the correct timeing for the launch, it would be better if the visual representation scientifically accurate.
your body would weaken to a point that may be detrimental outside of earth's gravity, some adaptation could occur but the longer you stay the more unlikely you would be able to return
So faceless automated AI generated content actually works on RUclips? Sir which software do you use to generate this content?
0% of this content was created with AI
Too good to be true.
Hi! Love your content but I gotta say - please just do some regular transitions! like just a cut to the next visual. All of the visuals are so cool but my brain literally can't focus on them because I get taken out by a swoosh every few seconds. To the point where I gotta play your content in a different tab and just listen. Maybe it's just me!
The problem is how will the starship return back from mars to earth. Before entering earth there should be a refilling station, using multiple ship each time is a waste of resources and what abt the people how will they go back is also be a main issue, what if there is nor way
I recall one time I was a secret agent on Mars. People were trying to kill me left and right. Now I don’t want to spoil it for you but in the end I defeated the bad guy, got the girl and saved the entire planet.
2029 is far too optimistic IMO, it should be around early to mid 22nd century. 🚀
To me now you are underestimating the speed on colony like that. I’m guessing it will be more around the later half of the 21st century. Though I can’t pin point a time I think it will be around then.
We already have starship so I believe that we will reach mars in this century and not hundreds of years in the future.
Beautiful, but I hope they chose a more interesting name than Mars City.
You forgot to add the leGrange fusion/fission satellite that provides a magnetosphere to deflect the high energy radiation away from the settlement. Thus allowing transparent domes for plants and people.
Will probably still have to live underground in volcanic tunnels anyway.
The point of the magnetosphere satellite would be to deflect the high energy radiation around mars whilst letting lower energy wave lengths like light through. It would mimic how the earths magnetosphere works but on a MUCH smaller scale. Whilst the satellite would still need to be HUGE with an insane amount of power it's technically possible. It would allow you to walk around the surface of mars without worrying about radiation exposure. @@-whackd
Do you guys really think bone and muscle loss in low gravity environment on long time is a small thing to overcome?
Oh great heavens my circulatory system is failing.
Literally any unpopulated place on Earth, like deserts, the poles, etc. would be far easier to do this on than Mars. While I think research in this area is still valuable and we should be doing science to try to get a manned mission to Mars, there is simply no incentive to actively colonize it yet. Anything (other than scientific research) we could do on Mars, we could do on Earth easier and better.
You should replace days by seconds, its clearer than months and years......
I think any building must be underground. Only solar batteries and radiators can be surfaced.
Radioactive food from greenhouse could be extra option.
Why? If you're thinking about radiation, you're wrong. it is not high enough to require underground buildings.
@@florianschneider3982 radiation while solar activity is quite high, also more meteorites there
@@tyalikanky Meteorites are a much smaller problem on Mars than in Earth orbit, and the ISS has been there for decades.
The radiation poses no danger.
No atmosphere, radiation is off the charts on the surface. Combine that with the trip over there and you'll get cancer.
Huh.... Being on the surface of mars your entire lifetime is guaranteed cancer.
I’m sorry but Elon musks starship is not landing on a bunch of dirt and rocks smoothly, there’s just no way they need a different way to land
It's a fairytale, when you actually get into the details of all of this you realize we are not a decade away from achieving this but many decades
0:33 what about when the planets on opposite sides of of the sun
A starship could slingshot around the sun and reach destiny
Shouldn’t we try doing all this stuff on Antarctica and then just scale up to Mars? That way we’d have some sort of blueprint. And instead of being 36 months away at most times society there would only be 3-5 months away at most.
Uff, unless there's a huge breakthrough in radiation blocking materials and tech, life in mars is going to be underground and inside.
Mars population reaches 1M: alright boys. Lets turn back the clock and lets play a classic game called war
When traffic at the South Pole becomes unbearable, I'll consider living on Mars.
2:28 "Unique gravity of their situation." Oh mothers fuckers XDDDDD
"Starships" starship originally meant a spacecraft traveling star distances, between stars, not planets in a single system. Elon is bad at naming things, this will be confusing for people in the future.
Who cares. It sounds cool
Maybe Starship is meant to be the spacecraft used to travel planets of a *Star*
why did he stepped with the left foot tho 😭😭😭 2:08
A variety of power sources is not really necessary. Nuclear is capable and reliable enough to generate power. Battery storage will also be less necessary. Wind and solar are not good renewable resources.
Easier in CGI, got the elon musk stamp of quality!
We will cook our troposphere before this happens. Overshoot is real.
😂
2:29 “The unique gravity of their situation” (37.5% of earth)
Sometimes we forgot that the origin purpose of travelling the stars was for the benefit of our own planet. The iss does extremely important research for how to help the help the rest of us. From materials science to medical tech the possiblitys are endless, space from the beginning isnt a place of hotels and casinos but a place for science, and that was what Nasa is still about today. But what do i know. Keep that in mind i guess next time you time you stare into the dark abyss and wonder for what purpose it brings.
If you really would like to know how living on mars would be like, i'd recommend watching snowpiercer
I'd recommend living in Antarctica for just 3 months. It's a freezing cold, barren wasteland. But, compared to Mars, it's a balmy, normal Earth gravity, normal atmospheric pressure paradise, with air and water all around. (As well as plenty of seafood off the coasts.) And yet, NO ONE wants to live there permanently, and NO ONE does! Thus, who are these idiots who think they want to live, indefinitely, on the God-forsaken hell planet of Mars?
I have an idea... - An orbiting 'farm', will provide fresh foods... oxygen, and a life-boat in case of emergency. - It would need ten acres of Earth soil... As much as two feet deep... A lot of SOIL... maybe too much... BUT, without a food/oxygen/life-boat that is very close to any Mars colonists... They are going to face adversities that preclude their success... - You can extrapolate my meaning.
I have and idea, too: It's simply not worth the time, the effort, or, most importantly, the treasure, to try and put people on Mars permanently or even indefinitely.
