I know! Even Moon Pie would have gotten him part way there.

@Eyre Borne No way. There is only one true way ... and it's got to be Milky

Damn it!!!

Yes, of course you do! You are the kind of person who would dig a mine on mars, smelt metal, build a rocket, make rocket fuel and go to Europa next instead of coming back to Earth!

Living in perfect isolation? Yay, training time! Ssjb3!

Isn't living in Utah like living in Mars? except you have more Mormons.

@@Emadaldeen He has a science based channel too, only he focuses more on chemistry.

he's a fake science guy but ok

Bill Nye. 😑. 😖. 😩 The Science Guy.

Lol me too

Haha, same! He must have done it a bunch.

that must’ve been so cool! :)

reminded me of a dream I had few days ago that I stumbled upon derek from veritasium, I freaked out too

It would be a "over the moon" experience for me!😳💖

You had me up until the lots of people part. :-)

I think that the sort of people who'd actually want to go to Mars as colonists would be those who didn't fit in on Earth--religious and political outliers in particular. Whether such people would be able to establish a functioning and eventually self-supporting society is an open question (although there are examples on Earth; think Utah, whose original settlers were pretty, um, eccentric by nineteenth-century standards, or modern ones) even if their basic survival needs could be met.

Remove the “lots of people” and its would be perfect

I'd go to Mars but I would probably regret it after a while

tbf I don't like any of the things you mentioned, I like trees but not the forest full of animals maybe I would go but not in the first course, somewhere down the line

ohh, kinki

YES ! YES !

when they said that in the video i knew someone was gonna make an immature giggly comment about it

Bill Nye: Giggedy

Papa musk doing it

Ha HA HA

Pretty sure musk said by 2020 back in 2010. I'm not holding out hope. Also I've seen enough explosions, he can hold his liquid oxygen lol

I thought Elon Musk clearly stated the use of methane

@@Kage1128 yes, but with liquid oxygen

I feel like a trip to Mars should be for everyone of Earth, not one country. No flags, no marks of "this is ours now", just Humans.

+Holmesy87 fun fact: the apollo mission was originally supposed to plant a united nations flag, but some people complained and they changed it.

+Drakan R AW COME ON THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME

That's not at all how the moon missions went. They gathered lots of samples. They also went back multiple times. We had multiple manned moon landings.

We did return to the moon though.

Since he's comparing the nuts to the spaceship that are carrying supplies, what he means is you would need a large amount of resources

He was probably referring to how much supplies would have to be taken.

I say the same thing about the vintage space channel with Amy Shira Teitel. Both of theses science women need to do some cross marketing. Those two along with PBS space time are my favorite knowledge based KZfaq channels.

That's the sad part about science and learning channels like this :( We need more media that promotes this type of information and learning...but that's not what sells. Why do you think Discovery channel does all the paranormal and ancient aliens crap? Hopefully soon there will be some kind of reawakening to science...and perhaps a manned trip to Mars could do that. Our schools just aren't teaching science like they should be.

Sub to those channels and help them by sharing both of them with your friends.

+Pat MaCrotch instead,people invest in "CancerAlert" and prank channels, Uuggghhh

Agreed. Also we need more shows like the Big Bang Theory where scientist characters are in the mainstream more. I'm sure that show got more kids to want to become physicists than their high school teachers

Yeah !

When USA was colonized, it was like living in an unknown planet. Why go to USA then if you are fine in Europe?

Because USA has more bacon.

Colonialism and greed.

And bacon

Once we have the technology we should try to terraform Venus because it has about 82% of earths gravity while Mars is about 30%

You have nothing to lose and only fame and recognition to gain, here on earth to. (:

That too.

You'd get surprisingly lonely

You could die. Even if you survived the journey over, despite mars doing everything it can to kill you, you won't have the same access to medical supplies. What if you got stuck there? There would be no society, no rules it could end up being every man for himself. Society, leaders, government won't neatly fall into place. Nah give me my sad life on Earth . I like being able to go outside and breath the air.

+Definitely Not B8ing Some people don't really need others, I'm one of these people. 99% of my time I spend alone working.

I think the sun would be a better destination for the people you're thinking of 😆

Or you could send them to Uranus

Mars is closer.

aMondayMorning Why shoot them into the sun? Just shoot them.

...

Venus has an atmosphere containing over 90 percent carbon dioxide. The greenhouse effect causes the temperature to go beyond 400 degrees Celsius.

Well that was an interesting wikipedia read... Hmmm. How do you land a rocket on a balloon?

Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) there are tons of KZfaq videos and Articles that explain it even better

Actually, the temperature on Venus is only that hot underneath the clouds. When you get up into the clouds the temperature isn't that bad. On the surface the temperature is around 460 degrees celsius and in the upper atmosphere the temperature varies from minus 40 to minus 170 degrees celsius. And in the middle there, you get temperatures that's between 30 to 70 degrees celsius. =)

I want to live on Europa!

Yeah, what are we gonna enslave when arriving to Mars? Amoebas? Please.

GDI... pha... FOR THE BROTHERHOOD OF NOD.. Brotherhood. Unity. Peace! :-) miss the good old days.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only for Earthen websites. For Martian websites (Or servers, like mars.facebook.com), it'll be just like on Earth

The horror... 1998 again

It'll be the rebirth of turn-based, play-by-post games. Also it promises some fun skype calls.

correction: communication between earth and mars has a minimum of 5 minutes of lag. with servers on mars and syncs running periodically from earth to mars your internet could have no more lag than on earth. all you would need is for the large cloud services like amazon cloud or cloudflare and for google to have a server on mars most web services would continue as normal

Interesting experiment. And if you didn't like the feeling of being so isolated and alone? It would be mad to know you're the only human on a planet though.

You already know what half of that feels like, as you can't leave this one.

Neil deGrasse Tyson needs to be next on your list. May the 4th be with you.

You do realise that venus has a temperature of about 750 K, an atmospheric pressure 92 times higher than the earths and those clouds are made of sulfuric acid

I feel Antarctica would give you an experience similar to what you want, right?

@Mycel I agree with Mycel. By going to Mars as a colonizer, you would be trading in the Earth and all its natural wonder to forever live in a box on a barren uninhabitable world. Even with people around, it would feel very similar to life in prison, where Mars is the menacing red prison guard.

@Mycel makes some great points. I'd add that the moon landings were inspirational because they happened relatively quickly and were the culmination of a geopolitical arms race in very turbulent times. Apollo 11 was literally racing the Soviet Luna 15 mission (launched 3 days prior) to be the first lunar sample return mission. But because it crashed and Apollo 11 didn't, most people forgot the Soviet attempt even happened. And since the Apollo missions occurred over a week or two, most people could devote attention to follow mission progress as they happened. Plus, since the Earth-Moon communication delay is only a few seconds, it's possible to watch a live broadcast in near real-time. And amateur astronomers could see the Apollo spacecraft transit the Moon through their telescopes. None of these factors for inspiration are likely to apply on Mars. The buildup to a human Mars mission will happen slowly, over decades instead of years, and when the first astronauts arrive at Mars, we'll be watching the event several minutes after it actually happened. And Mars might not be visible in the night sky that day. Think about how low public engagement with the ISS is. It's a continuous, steady program that more or less runs like clockwork. No race is involved. Everyday life and national security does not hinge on a specific launch. And yet because it's so close to Earth, views from the Cupola ARE inspiring in IMAX documentaries. And people can easily see the station streak above the sky if they know when and where to look. School groups can even apply to ask astronauts live questions about living in space! And that doesn't get covered widely. Well, because a Mars-bound vehicle travels so far from Earth, none of those outreach opportunities apply anymore. Earth becomes a blue speck in the window, and outreach with classrooms can't be live discussions. Questions must be delivered to the vehicle in advance as a video file and the astronauts' responses filmed and sent back to Earth in a separate package. And daily flyovers of Earth are obviously gone. So, no. We're not sending people to Mars because it's "inspirational." We're doing it to push the limits of human endurance and psychology. It's not going to be a 10-day joyride to the Moon and back. Space tourism flights will provide that inspiration. We're going to go to Mars for the same reason we have the ISS. To unite the world's superpowers in a common effort to expand a human presence in space, to gain new knowledge about surviving in extreme environments, and taking that knowledge and "overview" perspective to solve problems on Earth. That's what long-duration human spaceflight is really about. Pushing human survival in space to practical limits and sharing the costs with interested partners. It's not about micro-G research, planetary science, or astronomy. All of that can be done without sending people. These activities are done to give astronauts a greater variety of tasks than maintenance and checking their vitals. But keeping the ship running and the crew healthy provides the technology and human performance research that makes life better on Earth. And until the politics of human spaceflight reverts to another space race, a human Mars mission will have much more in common with ISS than Apollo in terms of inspirational impact. Again, if your goal is to inspire, there are much cheaper ways of doing it. "The Martian" cost 0.1% of the cost of real human Mars missions to make. And it's a more interesting plot than reality might allow for. If you just want pretty pictures of space, probes and telescopes provide that without people. Still a fraction of the cost of sending people but very inspiring. So you only send people to space to do only the things people can do: Maintain and improve life support technology, do research on their bodies, and do experiments that can't be automated. And occasionally tell kids and curious adults what it's like to live in space.

@Nathanael Situmorang Yeah, it was. They're essentially bankrupt now. They couldn't even produce a fictional Mars show with the budget they had.

Calm down, Kirk.

Hey check out the Vintage Space channel, I think you might like that one as well.

I agree !

thx, I'll have a look at it!

Reminds me a bit of the survey I had to fill in for the army when I turned 18 (we don't have any mandatory civil service in sweden, but we used to, so it's to have that stuff on record if they had to reinstitute it or something) Physique? Weak. Willingness to fight? Non-existent. Back pain, social anxiety, near-sightedness and low blood pressure. So yeah, just maybe I won't be drafted into the Mars marines in WW3 ;)

metallsnubben -- they revoked the possibility to chose between army and civil service in Sweden? omg what Sweden has come to since Olaf Palme... And I can say the same for Austria and Bruno Kreisky. The rise of the ultra right in Europe is so bad.

Everyone on Mars will be working so hard just to survive fixing oxygen water and fuel production machinery. for the first few decades there won't be time for Wi-fi anyway. Humans can only take 8 hours a week on the surface radiation the first colonists will work themselves to death only quicker than Roanoke.

@@alexcunhapinto it's a waste of resources (animated at least xD) And yeah OP, seemed odd having them firing all the time, it was funny

Your first point makes no sense. Why would we stop advancing when the point of advancing it to solve said problems. Simply put its saying we stop solving problems because we have problems that need solved. What more, many of the problems could provide invaluable lessons for Earth. Who knows what we will learn about atmospherics and biology in the process of terraforming Mars.

1. Things we learn on Mars will help people on Earth. And if we wait to solve all our problems here we will likely go extinct here. What's really to screw up on Mars? It's dead except for possibly microorganisms. 2. I guess you wouldn't want to be an airline pilot, either.

Well yes, I'd go with a round trip to Venus, probably even beyong either planets, guaranteed it's a round trip, my insurances covered, and I live when I'm back.

Besides, we're only to explore not colonize it.

I love your channel!

Quantum physics is like magic, but it works. It's going to be what enables dreams to come true, even if it takes us another 100 years to understand it well enough to make it happen. Ironically, it may be quantum computing that helps us finally crack the mysteries of QM, gravity, and a true TOE. We're lumps of stardust, created from, by, and OF the universe, building a machine that we barely understand, made of the same stardust, which then, though not technically alive, teaches us how it all really works. 🤯 How insane...how wonderful.
