Imagine thinking humans will colonize Mars and survive when they can’t even figure out how to work together on earth where life and water are abundant.

As Neil Degrasse Tyson said… If we are smart enough to terraform mars… We’re smart enough to save the planet earth

As a baby born on mars, growing up was a struggle. They promised us so many amazing things.

Year 500: Martian colonies declare themselves independent from Earth. Diplomatic relations between Earth and Mars are severed due to disputes over resources, neither planet wanting to share resources with the other. Year 1000: The reality of never being able to sustain a satisfactory atmosphere on Mars makes Earth look like a very attractive target for Martians. They begin to prepare a military fleet to invade space for Martians on Earth. Year 1020: The United Colonies of Mars declare war on Earth: The First War of the Worlds begins.

The first baby born on mars will definitly think earth is the coolest place ever

The greatest issue about living on mars is the lack of an electromagnetic field to protect life from deadly radiation

This is beyond optimistic. We struggle to change much simpler issues here on earth 🌎.

What I've always been concerned about with the idea of a community on Mars or the moon is what nobody seems to think about and that's crime. This video is looking years into the future. Ten, twenty, or thirty years into a venture like this involving hundreds of individuals, we will have seen our first acts of sabotage somewhere in the colony. What if someone threatens to detonate a small bomb, or what if someone contaminates the water, or air? What's to stop someone from turning off the heat unless their demands are met? We won't be leaving hatred or jealousy, stupidity or greed behind on earth.

Far too optimistic. I think it will take much longer for these events to take place than described here, but I hope everything works out well.

I remember when I was a little child and we used to go on trips to the planetarium they used to promise us all of the amazing things that would exist when I was an adult. Some of it came true, but I can’t help but imagine what it would have been like now if everything had really happened the way they thought it would.

Imagine getting born on mars and never know how the earth is because they have never been there that will be INSANE and scary to think about

Imagine if one of those missions failed. The progress will be delayed in one or two years.

Biggest problem is that while earth gets bombarded by 10's of thousands of space rocks each year most are incinerated through friction with the air. Mars has no atmosphere to write home about so 99.9% hit the surface or our lovely constructions. The other issue is that space is full of loads of radiation and Mars has no magnetic field to speak of (which is why it lost its atmosphere) so really we need to move everything underground (maybe 5m for radiation and 100m for space rocks).

Pity we’re still so divided as a species as we’re capable of so much more. I’m envious of anyone who lives to experience this.

The problems on mars are ridiculously underestimated here. Instead of fixing the fixable problems on earth, dreaming about fixing the unfixable problems on mars.

This will be an interesting video to come back to in the years to come to see how accurate it was

Heyyyy early to the party yayyy yayyy! Love you infographics show, watched every episode to date, I can’t get enough! Love your narrator I could marry him for that voice 😍😂

If you're wondering what a hypothetical independent mars would be like, I recommend watching The Expanse, or wait until I'm done writing my "Mars Rising" book which could be a few years

@17:23 I like that part that Ph 🇵🇭 has a plan to have a city in Mars

Concerning terraforming, one of the first things that should be done will be to develop an orbiting device that produces an artificial magnetic shield to help protect from the solar radiation. A relatively small device placed at the Mars Lagrange 1 point that generates a strong magnetic field should help block a significant amount of the solar radiation Mars receives. Maybe not as efficient as the Earth's magnetic field but it would be a good start.

Imagine, we have the technology to colonize other planets, yet we still cannot settle our differences and build other bases away from other colonies

The fact that this is probably happening in my lifetime is so amazing

imagine if there were fossils hidden in mars, because of how theres a theory saying mars used to have life

Your ability to get through this upload without giggling deserves respect. I didn't get the joke at first. LOL 💜

This is a VERY optimistic, almost delusional, look toward the future. There are many many problems with living on Mars we haven't come close to solving. The lack of gravity and the intense radiation are some of the worst problems.

The way you expressed your thought process a link by link. Just amazing. Thanks man.

This kind of reminds me of that video about the moon in an old simpsons episode, where people in the 70's used to think there would be colonies on the moon by the year 2000.

a new era of the age of exploration!

The UN will soon start crafting a Mars treaty.

Surface domes are unlikely just due to structural limitations. Seems more likely initial structures will be at least partially covered with eventual cities either being developed into cliff faces (see Nua) or canyons (artificially created)with sloping walls to allow increased sunlight but still protecting against the bulk of radiation. The “roof” would be covered with a transparent material with a lightweight support structure and rely on the internal atmospheric pressure as well. This would allow for the creation of outdoor like environments - extra space, high ceiling allowing for trees, and even rivers or lakes.

Imagine they do it like in video games!

I can just see the Weather Channel meteorologists bracing themselves during LIVE coverage of each dust storm

Could you imagine if instead of a race against each other we had a race against time together to get to mars, a major joint venture the time frame for getting there and making it habitable would be significantly reduced.

Realistically, Year 27- the 2nd group of explorers arrive to bring more supplies, and collect the corpses of the 1st group of explorers.

An interesting and creative video to show interplanetary movement and development.

Thanks for the interesting video.

I believe there was a study that stated that a magnetic field generator at one of the LaGrange points with strong enough field would be be able to deflect the solar wind around mars. This would be a smaller requirement than to complete encompass the whole of Mars. Aside from a more difficult maintenance mission, the energy requirement would be significantly smaller than a planet wide shield generator

Every time he says "Starship", it either shows a Star Hopper, Crew Dragon capsule or Falcon Heavy. But never a starship...

This reminds me of a game that I used to play a long time ago called Planetbase on steam.

Very cool can't wait to see it happen

Q. Should the Mars colonization plan be conducted by private or public enterprise? A. That's NOT the right question. The right question is: What organization(s) are best suited for safely landing materiel and personnel on Mars in a progressive and organized fashion that achieves the establishment of a city or cities on the Red Planet. All the while protecting individual rights and balancing them with settlement rights and success. I am not sure of the answer, but an answer that has always been there is that the public sector provides the route and funding and private sector achieves the goals (cf. WW2 armament and NASA public/private R&D and delivery of the means of achieving goals).

You'd also will need roaches & worms on mars to consume waste, constant food source, & to filter out elements in the soil. Including flies. The martians will have to use their own waste to make dirt, but itll work

Isn’t it amazing how even now with pessimistic thoughts in our minds and thinking this would never be pausible, we are already talking about protection from radiation, oxigen extraction and terraforming another planet, i believe the start of these discussions is amazing

Its all so risky and scary. Good luck and bon voyage. I hope it works. 😮

I wish i were younger, id go. At the least id get to see all this play out. I'll probably be senile by then 😔

This video was delightful. I grant you this was the most ideal scenario about colonizing Mars. But it does point out much of what is ahead.

When this eventually happens, I can imagine an all out war between the residents of Mars and Earth.

watching this while playing the game "occupy mars" is interesting

You guys should make a video on the concept of a one world government & what that might look like or how it could possibly come to pass.

Wow! This is probably my favorite Infographics video. I have nearly seen all of them. It was truly inspiring. I look forward to the future. I hope mankind makes it to the cosmos.

Wow. Philippines on Mars. I'm really looking forward to it.

Perhaps not in my lifetime but I'm excited for where mankind goes, we can literally do anything

For a moment there I thought we would fight muscular cockroaches the size of pillar men on Mars.

This is extremely optimistic, considering the strain our civilization is experiencing right now in maintaining our atmosphere to prevent global warming. I'm not against the notion of eventually settling Mars, but we must advance our society in a way that we can sustain technological progress while creating minimal emissions. If we can "fix" global warming, we will buy time and resources to get to Mars.

How will mars population handle the huge tornadoes and cyclones that come frequently?

Very, very, very optimistik!!

Far too optimistic. I’d be shocked if a human makes it to mars in the next 50 years, absolutely shocked.

This is VERY optimistic!

If humans could live forever this would be near to see .

I can’t wait to buy clothes that say “made in mars”

Great animation. The only challenge is your spacecrafts are Falcon Heavy instead of the proposed Starship.

I was literally thinking about this and then you uploaded this what a coincidence

And boom, "The Expanse" happens, except maybe the aliens that appear out of random portals.

I feel like the many disasters that would be realistically expected were left out

So it might end up like hello mars what I want to know is some people will want to race on mars and unlike earth it might be done with hole built drones driven in VR who knows it might work with mapping the area let’s just hope it doesn’t end up like the plot from COD infianty war.

We can't do the super easy task of turning the the earth's deserts green, how can we possibly do the super difficult task of making Mars habitable?

A mars shootout sounds lit

Awesome video. I think one point that's missing is that the population will increase faster than imagined in the video. SpaceX wants to send way more ships every 2nd year and a Mars government will be formed earlier where all countries have to be part of it i.e. it won't be as on Earth

Another video idea, what if one company ruled a lot of important stuff in the society of the whole world( like energy supply, health care, UN protection and etc)

Terraforming Mars will require to re-heat the core. Questions from a neophyte: This new mars would then have a faster revolution cycle or not Won't it give the planet a greater gravitational pull? How will those modifications affect the equilibrium of the planets orbital rotations?

Doller General will be the first store, they probably already have one up there

Plot twist: we land on Mars and get greeted by martians💀

Whichever country, or countries build a massive spaceship that can travel from Galaxy to Galaxy, mining, or pickingup raw materials, resources along the way, will secure the survival of the human race, long after our sun burns out, and planet earth, along with our solar system is no more. Thankyou for another great video Infographics shows 🔥👍

It’s funny looking back to the 40’s and 50’s and seeing how they thought life would be in 2000. This reminds me of that… I wonder how close this really resembles what will happen or if we’re going to look back at 70 years old laughing at this video

17:24 i dint expect you to make Philippines as an example 😭😭

You forgot to mention the Space Elevator! 😁

It’s just sad that humans can’t work on this together instead of bringing in the issues between countries and “competitors”

I mean we should focus on some sort of moon base long before mars

We need to do more tests with mars. I think once we have colonies on 2 planets science will start speeding up. Lot's of things to learn from the different environments about the universe. I am curious what happens if you open a bottle of water on mar's. Would it stay in liquid form or would it evaporate or do what ever it does in space? Just curious because of the atmosphere. Will we ever see oceans on mar's again? Do we need to bring the water or how can we create it locally on mars?

It’s insane how far we’ve come

It bothers me that he's talking about Starship and yet he shows crew capsules from Falcon 9. But yet, good video!

Enjoyed the background music in today's episode, very fitting. Hope we colonise Mars, it's in our nature as humans to push beyond our known boundaries only to make them reality then do it all over again, that's what gives our this here life meaning.

Solar RADIATION: am I a joke to you

Bamboo plants, one of the most hardiest plants, oxygen splitting machine, plant waste to create its own biosphere, an artificial magnetic core, a large reflector reflecting the sun's rays to Mars. Large clothe like reflectors that assemble themselves by magnet north away from north directed to the magnet side. Dump water and bio waste to create bacteria and oxygen. Etc...

They should bring chickens with them. Once you start producing grain chicken guano can be used as fertilizer. They could also provide food in the form of eggs, and potentially meat once a healthy balance is found. Small and domesticated chickens could become a Martian’s best friend.

This is beyond way too optimistic. Without a magnetic field all living spaces would have to been in those domes. And what do they do when the Sun wants to blast Mars with solar flares and CMEs? Again without that magnetic field how do you keep the power grid from melting down and everyone suffocating in those domes. We are going to have to get some of that next level Star Trek tech to make Mars work for us. Warp Drive to speed up the travel time and all that good stuff.

@ 9:43 - a Ukrainian space ship landing on Mars 😂😂😂. That’s a good one.

The fact we can make futuristic techs and stuffs but we still dont know sending bombs to eachother are bad.

Wouldn't teraforming the arid places on Earth, like the Sahara, make more sense than teraforming Mars?

I would think that putting the resources into an already hospitable perfect planet for life be easier than turning a wasteland into a liveable environment? I would think it would be smarter to make sure that our planet stays as nice as possible as long as we can. Then barring an extinction level event we won't need to leave earth

The lack of an electromagnetic field is one of the problems tackled by Kim Stanley Robinson in his Mars trilogy of novels.

I wonder if all the countries of Earth put this amount of effort into making positive changes here on Earth, where would we be in 50 years?

We should probably take a bit of advice from the feature film The Martian. That movie could actually help us in the process of the colonization of the red planet.

I wish we could be alive to see what happens in the next 1,000 years.

No matter how much fiction is added to this video to make it sound plausible, I still absolutely love that wec are close enough to turn this dream into actual reality

The possibility to once live a life without insects Is so refreshing.

As much as I appreciate your videos, I want to remind you on the Outer Space Treaty, in regards of multiple nations on Mars.

how they are thinking to make the magnetosphere of the mars work again?

Artificial (pseudo)gravity through rotating buildings is possible on orbit but also in low gravity bodies like Mars, just the form is different, as the perpendicular centrifugal force is added to the real low gravity, making some cone-like structures. Anyway, as the buildings are possible, I think is totally possible to grow babies on Mars. Just in worse case scenario they can't leave the pseudo-gravity buildings for long up to a certain age. To make it hospitable, we will need to work on making this kind of buildings very, very big, so it will feel like a city, not like a prison.

I was a teenager when we landed on the moon ... I remember how my GF and I had the TV outside so we could watch it and look at the moon. Sadly ... over 50 years later we cannot even go to the moon ... not even leave someone there for a week and yet they continue to make (make believe) videos about how we are going to live on Mars .... Our Space Program has done next to nothings in the last 45 years > compared to what we did in less than 10 years from the day it started.
