How would humans develop a colony on Mars? A permanent Mars base, capable of sustaining human life independently, has been a goal of many futurists, scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs. But developing such a colony would be incredibly difficult. Today, we explore the implementation of this idea in detail.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

@t.p.7320 5 ай бұрын

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.

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.

@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..

@kalebbruwer 4 ай бұрын

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.

@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.

Multiply this timeline by pi (3.14) and you’ll get the realistic timetable for these events.

"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.

Maybe Starship is meant to be the spacecraft used to travel planets of a *Star*

We will cook our troposphere before this happens. Overshoot is real.

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

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.

Uff, unless there's a huge breakthrough in radiation blocking materials and tech, life in mars is going to be underground and inside.

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.

Wind farms on Mars!? Isn't the atmosphere quite thin? It wouldn't be a very efficient means of generating electricity.

Mars City looks more comfortable to live in than Dubai. And that's with all the radiation.

Great job, however I doubt this will happen as "Money always Wins" & there is no huge profit potential with Mars Love from Trailer Park USA

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!

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.

Boca chica is more of an R&D (per Elon). The starships going to Mars will likely come out of cape canaveral

A good effort :) You do realize that Martian dust storms will often cover those solar panels? ;)The best initial source of power on Mars would be Nuclear Electric Thermal generators, and later on, fission reactors. Even on Earth "green" tech is dubious due to supply chain issues which boost expense and limit how many solar panels and batteries we can make, and primitive storage technology for intermittent solar and wind power, so how would "green" tech work on Mars reliably? ;) In addition, living in well-lit underground habitats beats surface domes as being far safer. By year 10 NO solar panels will be used on the surface for the colony, power WILL be nuclear :) Solar might work as an orbital power station beaming it to a surface array as microwaves for the colony a ways off from the site :) And of course the toxic Martian surface soil loaded with perchlorates will need scrubbing before compost can be added to grow crops :)
