I'd recommend the skyhook video, it makes all of this terraforming stuff seem a lot more accessible distance wise

"we used to be patient and do things for future generations" "this seems like a lot of work wouldn't be easier to terraform mars?"

I'm really happy you like Kurzgesagt, so many good reaction videos. ^_^

This is fast in planetary scale because Earth took a billion years to be terraform so this is insanely fast.

please come back dude. you are amazing we love you

Skyhook is something we can make right now, it's a fairly simple construction that's possible. Mars only had water on it, Venus is much more likly to have had life on it

Love your content, please keep it coming! Your intellectual curiosity and enthusiasm shine through -- I can see why you make a great teacher.

By the way there are 5 planned Missions to Venus (2 by NASA, 1 by ESA (europe), 1 by ISRO (india) and 1 by Roscosmos (Russia)) starting around the end of the decade and there are additional proposed missions too. So don't worry Venus will get it's share of Missions. :)

Bro you are my favorite KZfaqr rn on god love you bro

Fusion is when you merge stuff. Splitting stuff is called Fission.

Grossly overlooked even if the mirrors and other things work is that the planet doesn’t have a tectonic plate system like earth and its atmosphere is not protected by a magnetic field. Rather fix earth

eyyyyy quick gang here. Love the content

dude just look at cologne cathedral 800 years in the making and only finished this decade

The mirror problem could probably be solved if we can speed up Venus's rotation. There's no easy way to do this (meteorite bombardment wouldn't work, and would probably ruin the surface), but if the span of time is thousands of years, we might be able to get a more reasonable, natural day-night cycle using an orbital ring to eject bits of Venus (or a constant stream of particles) at relativistic speeds. This would impart Venus with increased rotational momentum. It could be done while all the other terraforming is being done, so we might not have increase the timeframe of the project. Then again, as much as we need to change the rotational speed, we might have to settle for the mirrors for a very long time

not even a second in and I AUDIBLY went "IS THAT KERMIT??"

Where are you??? :(

It's much simpler than I thought, actually. With Mars It's gonna be much harder.

I suggest you react to *'The Day The Dinosaurs Died Minute by Minute'* by Kurzgesagt

I’d really like to see him again

I'm glad you're going to do them all

Pls watch the skyhook Video, it’s really, really great🙏🏽🙏🏽

Skyhooks could be made today

Hey glad ur back

Venus is below the goldilocks zone, mars is beyond the goldilocks zone.

Hey man, nice sweater!

you say we would be depending on oh so many factors like the two mirrors and what else? we would just be dependent on the mirrors. thats no different then being dependent on the moon except if we put the mirrors in the correct position they will stay in a perfect position in coalation with the planet whilst the moon is constantly getting farther away wich will one day cause a calamity on earth for the oceans

You made this video on my birthday :D

Tell the news, warn the channels, I have no reason to further the battle.

you're so underrated!!

Why are you leaving youtube

Finally 🥳🤘🏽🙏🏽

Bro forgor his password 💀💀💀

In the video was no new tech needed all the thing can we do today but we need to build up space industry to get there.

Yay! Kurzgesagt ftw!

Kurzgesagt is really great! On another note, You should react to Muse, they're really good!

Depends on the definition but Venus is on the habitable zone yes.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="760">12:40</a> There are. Probably in the early solar system Venus was covered by oceans and it could sustein life. However, since it didn't have a magnetic field and it rotated too slow, it turned into an horrible enviroment. In any case, I reccomand you the video "The largest black hole in the universe". Believe me, it's worthy to be seen

I don’t know if this has already been recommended but I think you should do a reaction to “Heilung”, specifically “Krigsgaldr” live. (If you don’t already know them) They really are a great band. Got to see them live at a festival last year. Edit: really enjoy your videos, especially the Rammstein ones.

I watch kurzgesagt on English and on German, even if I saw them already in the other language xD

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="814">13:34</a> yes there is

ayyy you're back, kinda. Lol. Resubscribing. I swear every time I subscribe you take a break lol...

Hey @Simple Viking u should upload more videos and also stream a bit on twitch, id watch :)

Where are the Nightwish reactions??? “I want my tears back” at Buenos Aires

terraforming isn't easy it's never easy and that's a price we need to accept

You should react to history buffs midway part 1 and 2 and also some of his other movie/show breakdowns

Well there is one unsolvable issue with mars, and that is because mars is so small, its always going to have low gravity, which is probably not good for us. And nothing can be done about that, even if you threw the entire asteroid belt, including the dwarf planet Ceres at it, it still wouldn't increase its mass enough to be in par with earth, where as Venus is already almost earth like in terms of surface gravity. That is what makes venus a more attractive option for full terraforming.

Yes Terraforming is hard and complicated. The simple truth of space colonization is there's really no place OTHER than Earth but that should not stop us from trying. Terraforming may be the far future but we have the capability to do it eventually, and really we can colonize space with the technology we have it just won't be easy or simple and really won't be the dreamy paradise most people imagine. Further in most cases of Terraforming you will be maintaining this system constantly because given a chance all these changes will eventually revert. We have the technology that they mentioned today, we don't have the capability to put it into place in the scale or depth that's needed but we have mass drivers, solar mirrors and all the rest what's needed is the incentive, the will and the infrastructure to get it all done. (And I'll point out that technically if we can Terraform Mars or Venus we likely could just as easily BUILD a world in the form of a large space colony in open space so there's that :) ) Venus is a hard planet to study since landing on it requires (essentially) a probe designed to survive deep sea pressures at the same time as heat that will melt lead. We're most likely going to have to work from probes and platforms floating in the upper atmosphere of Venus that send down occasional surface probes to learn more. Such probes can be designed to float back up into the higher atmosphere to cool off and deliver surface samples but again it's not going to be quick or easy to do which is why Mars gets the most attention :) One thing that hasn't gotten a lot of attention is the idea that if you look at it closely Mars is lacking in atmosphere while Venus has to much so finding a way to 'transfer' the excess atmosphere from Venus to Mars would go a long way towards 'solving' both planets issues. One idea is to use sun-orbiting, solar powered laser beams (yes "lasers" again :) ) to 'skim' atmosphere off the top of Venus and 'transport' it to Mars. The logistics are daunting, (as is the technology) but no more so than most ideas of Terraforming either planet. @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="980">16:20</a>: You're describing "fission" not "fusion" in the former atoms are split to release energy in a self sustaining reaction, in the latter atoms are 'fused' together to create energy and the big thing about the latest breakthrough is that we managed to get a fusion reaction which released more energy than it took to create the fusion. Ya it's a big thing :)

"I never really hear anythig about things I never go looking for" Hmmh, shocker, it's almost like you never go looking for them, did you even bother googling a single 1 of your questions you asked.... You don't even have to answer that, I already know

Kurzgesagt has Made a Video about Fusion. You can react to that one next.

Goldilocks zone means not too hot or too cold. I'd say Venus does not qualify.

so what are you doing right now

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="30">0:30</a> Whatever planet gets terraformed, only the rich people are going to get to go. Us plebs will be stuck on Earth.

It is touching that you believe that thousands of variables did not have to occur, and do occur, on our planet for there to be life, and that if any of them misalign, everything goes to hell very quickly.

fun fact Venus had water 4 billion years ago

Please as a teacher during black history month react to Dan Bull - To Protect and serve

so close to first

did you know that Jupiter is 43000 f

Please react to Kurzegact's Dyson Sphere video

Hope you aren't dead 😅

Let's get real. This won't happen. The way something like this happens is if we find an iterative process where you can do it a little bit at a time.

Great video buddy..but I think we should concentrate more on making the earth more livable again. Saving our current planet seems like a better idea to me. But hey, Im just a stupid American😂😂😂

react to geography now bulgaria

5th comment

Please react Russia 🇷🇺 Geography now 🥰 Thanks .

Heck, it'd probably be easier to find a way to move Venus to the Goldilocks zone. By the time we're ready to terraform a planet, I would think we could figure out how to move a planet.

mars cannot be terraformed! Not enough mass=not enough gavitational force to hold an atmosphere! And no, the magnetfield has nothing to do with a atmosphere.

If we one day developed a way of moving entire moons we could move Europa to Venus, take the water/ice from closer to Venus, and Venus would have it own moon with what's left of Europa. This means Venus world be more like Earth and have its own tides. If we can do this then maybe we could speed up the rotation of Venus and have a 24 hour day, then get rid of the mirrors. Voila, a 2nd Earth, simple as that.
