NASA is gearing up for the next phase of its mission to Mars that is decades in the making. The mission aims to answer two main questions: Did life ever exist on Mars, and can humans live there? Collecting samples from Mars and returning them to Earth is key to the mission.
But what if the samples from Mars contain dangerous pathogens? NASA is not taking any chances. That's why they are building a state-of-the-art biocontainment lab to ensure the samples are kept secure and the public is safe.
The lab will be equipped with cutting-edge technology and will use the strictest safety measures to isolate any potential hazards. Here's how NASA plans to safely return Martian materials to Earth.

Do you think we should bring back samples from Mars?
No.
This is a very not smart idea.
Yeah I'm almost certain not even pathogens can survive on Mars.
Yes
Yes, maybe Martian soil is good for growing broccoli
Of course 👌
A great man once said………..
“Curiosity k!lled the Cat”
Guess they don't read Michael Crighton at NASA...
Getting goosebumps 🔥
So that was the inspiration for the 2319 suits in Monsters Inc
NASA can only aspire to that level of security
@@freethink Tje explanation at.5;49 makes nonsense..if nwgstive resource means air is forced out then the pathogen would.escape..opposite of not escaping as the narration says..Im assuming they misspoke? Can you post a correction? Or did I misunderstand, although I don't think I did.
@@leif1075it’s pushed from the suit
Eat that Calvin!
Could you engineer bioweapons type viruses in that lab? Do they?
You could engineer bioweapons anywhere you want if you have the right equipment setup. So I guess, yes, you could engineer bioweapons in that specific lab if it was converted
I think it’s illegal or a bunch of important country leader people signed some stuff that says they won’t
It's against the Geneva convention but in reality the united nations only yells at you and captured your soilders if you violate it
Great video.
Thanks so much!
Did we discover life on Mars? Or is this in preparation to attempt to discover life on Mars?
Preparation
Ultraviolet light and Ultrsound Royal Raymond rife that space trash
So you're saying that the perseverance rover is not capable of analyzing that mars samples on the go? Like why aren't they build a rover/facilty like that on the Mars itself, controled by an AI.. as this is the so called "AI era"
Russia came up with Vector which has level 5 synthetically engineered hybrid Chimera Ebolapox viruses in 1997.
why not check everything on moon or iss i mean yhey are going to the moon anyway
The answer is in this video. You can clearly see how complicated process it is. Imagine it building the lab on iss or even on Moon (Mars).
Bicouse the humanity use water and food study and Investigation university amazon peru latin america City iquitos and so traveling throughout the universe for long time
Great! Brand new taxpayer-funded money. I don’t see a reason for a new fund of this level for such an early stage. I don’t think allocation to such a project is necessary. Do we really need a BSL-4 level, of course? I don’t really think so. It seems like NASA has run out of ideas to spend more American dollars.
Surprising (v v v v v v v expensive) solution to not our Problem, just don't bring those damn pathogens to earth, a simple solution.
Simple
It's a fair question: how much tiny but potentially catastrophic risk are we willing to tolerate for the possibility of huge scientific discoveries?
Most likely there are no life forms in the samples. But if there are it would be both an unprecedented event in human history and, potentially, an unprecedented (if small) risk. Remember, also, that a huge majority of microbes on Earth are not dangerous to us and we inhale them in huge numbers with every breath.
@@freethink Fear mongering. This is not going to be a smart plan, there is no justification or proof at all.. you are selling fear here, clearly. Not happening
@@freethink Sell fear in a video, to get funding for nasa and their secret projects which have wasted trillions already..
@@freethink Millions of years... and now you are worried a rare space germ is going to come on a rock from space? This is the easiest way to sell fear, since you are talking about "what if a unicorn comes'' .. how is anyone else going to talk or debunk you talking about unicorns? Same logic with your argument here.... there is no unicorn... fund your own lab 👋
Whenever these people say they want to prevent they mean they want to cause an outbreak
Lol, yeah, let me just set fire to my own house while I'm in it! I'm sure that's the exact mentality of every scientist. (/s, since this is the Internet)
😂🤣😂🤣lies and deceit
Where's the lie exactly?
@@doctorgoose7 They got us, it's a big conspiracy. Humans have never actually visited Earth
@@doctorgoose7 Fear mongering... do the math. What are the odds, in the next few years.. we are shown a bacteria that has not been seen on earth for millions of year? Cmon. This is laughable fear mongering to get funding. I do NOT want to fund this. Also Elon and others should be banned from shipping our water into space.
@@freethink 😅🤣😂
Earth is flat lol
