By the year 2035, NASA plans to send humans to Mars. But it would be about a nine-month trip with our current rocket technology. However, in the not-so-distant future, we could be replacing chemical engines with nuclear thermal propulsion. That would take you to Mars in just three months. What are the risks of using nuclear propulsion? How would it work? Have we used nuclear energy in space before?

Ok

I love what if
Ok

MEANWHILE, ELON MUSK IS SECRETLY SEEING THIS VIDEO TO REACH MARS FASTER
Well elon musk is kust like another thomas alva edison , elon musk is not a genius he just have a buch of smart people who work for him
@@frankocean6676 okay, I'm sure Elon gives them the reward and appreciation they deserve
@@bornoflightningthunder8162 well that makes him a good capitalist not a genius lmao
@@frankocean6676 come on, don't be so political
@@frankocean6676 learning rocket science by yourself seem like a genius thing tho
Can we all just appreciate the fact that what if uploads daily for us to enjoy😄
Say hello to my lil friend
E
Not really Daily but okay
yes
Is it really daily?
Can you do "Whatif electricity was never discovered, how we would be leading or lives especially these days"
Freedom from online exams
We mightve discovered an alternative
some in future cargo and almost man managed to doing people sleep before anyone getting in spaceship
You mean like if nikola didn't exist
What if you ate a hot Cheeto but the spice level never went away?
I love how this guy makes paid promotion actually look interesting
@@atharvabhujbal9505 I have already watched all of his videos long ago
you should watch oversimplified, he really blends the ad in with the video
@Swarup Mohanty what you mean he gets paid
I skip all them
Really?
Your channel is one of my favorites. I used to have a science teacher that would reserve 10 minutes of class a day to let us ask what if questions. It was everyone’s favorite part of class.
He has more content than my science book😂😂😂
ikrrr school science books suck infront of this channel xd
Yeah duhh
Dropped with a what if advertisement
Then gets hit with a TH-cam advertisement
Rough 😂
can you try “what if the Black Death was still on earth”?
It is, over 15 Americans get infected by it
._.
NASA:plans to go to mars in 2035
Russia: ._.
World:Ah shit here we go again
Russia be like : *Bruh*
China would be like: "is that a CHALLANGE?"
@@josemesquita9354 challenge about: who will dominate mars in the future
(the good news: at least they are competing to go to mars, put their energy to something else, not make war here at earth)
We need rockets powered by light energy to reach mars in minutes.
I think you are misunderstanding light energy and light speed
@@hades2679 light speed is what I meant
@@SRC267 then edit the comment you dumbass
@@SRC267 Unfortunately we can't reach light speed, because when you increase the speed of something its weight increases, and by the time it reaches the speed of light, it has infinite weight, so it needs infinite energy to make it reach the speed of light.
there another thing called warp travel but it is not possible with current technology
"Physics , Chemistry combined to help Elon Musk reach Mars"
Summary of this video.
so plutonium and deutrium is a just addictived to spent fuel
What if our James webb found alien in another solar system
I'm addicted to what if! I watch it every day after school. Keep posting!
ahhhhhh, this is the first time I've seen the man behind the what if voice! haha good stuff
muscle
Based on his voice, I always thought he is way much more younger 😅
@@kestutisi me too 😂
My heart : woah! I want to spacetravel
My body : no, who wants to lose their energy
My brain : SHUT UP! today is your exam
Edited : thanks for likes. It's true that my exams are coming
Edited : my exam is over
Lol
Lol. 😂😂😂
Same
Best of luck for the exam
When he says"that's the story, of another, What if",now which other what if is that
Hello from Greece!! I enjoy your videos, specially the ones about space! You've done a pretty good job with your channel! And your narration is so good!! Keep up the nice work!
Take your "im early" tickets here
Ok chief
Thanks
Claimed
Yeah🤘
Claimed. Thanks.
Single and only last one from the world of unknown ...
As a kid I used to dream about this stuff.
Cid Kagenoh wants to know your location
Lol The eminence in shadow 😂
yes
"What are the risks of nuclear propulsion?"
Ask Chernobyl
Lol
Chernobyl reactor is from 60s smart one 😏 today nuclear reactors are much more safer.
Never would have thought that that is what he looks like behind that voice lol
What If : on the day we actually tried to use nuclear propulsion, it blew off half the planet during take off 😂
Lmaooo
Lmao
The ideas that I have seen is that they would not be used for a earth take off,but the engines would be installed out in space.
The system is hybrid you first use a conventional rocket to get to low earth orbit then you use the nuclear propulsion
@@constantinethecataphract5949 use rocket fuel to get to moon fuel up on uranium go to Mars
Do what if we all drove on just the rims without our tires
This video was just released today and it has already got around 24,000 views.
you remind me of that podcast guy in 2012, the guy in the RV.
Hehe, still remembered that fella
Next episode
What if all the facts that shown on "what if" come true
Corona Virus is waving 👋👋😂
What if we had Anti-matter powered rockets
Did someone here watch ad astra?😎
Anti-matter rockets are theoretically the best but I think they will always be science fiction, I agree with Michio Kaku that it will never be possible to make a rocket with it. If you want to see a realistic fission rocket concept watch "liquid plutonium rocket". The video also has info on the constant 1g acceleration method, with this a ship can get to Alpha Centauri in 3.6 ship/ 7.3 Earth years and have gravity the whole way (and that includes turning the ship around half way and decelerating). A 10 ton ship would need a mere 10 tons of continuous thrust.
What if the richest man on earth give 1 million dollar to every person in the world?
I would love to see that!
Let's like this comments and maybe what if will make a video about.
Then Inflation will be on its peak!!!!
Well rich boi time
Then money would be worthless.
@@controlman7490 true
Had this question for a long time in my head
The FitBod ad this guy showed was really unskippable. He explained it very well! By the way I got the yearly membership to FitBod!
Good for you, I don't have money:(
What if all of planets in the solar system lined up in a straight line
Planetary eclipse would occur
@@bornoflightningthunder8162 it probably happened before just extremely rare
You r so underrated
This channel answers all my questions while stoned.
Your videos are amazing. Plz upload more
Me:thinking if what mars look like in the future.
Like huh I'm so far from the discussion😂
You should do a video called “what if you could actually connect to Outriders servers” 😂
Love the random nature of the video scenes.
Truely impressive things are happening on this planet
Me: Wondering when the hell he started doing face reveals
Comment Section: not talking about his face reveal
Me: I must be trapped in 2018 and can’t get out
He has already shown his face many times in other videos
When did he start showing his face? That is a story for another "What If?".
The problem is, how to make the rockets big enough to store the nuclear power
If you want to see the best way to make a nuclear rocket watch "best method for interstellar travel" and "liquid plutonium rocket".
In the late 50s and 60s there were two projects, kiwi and nerva which were used to develop thermonuclear rocket engines. They were successful.
Take off: plants dead landing: crushes earth
Hey everyone! :D I hope you stay safe and have a nice day, God bless you!
You are christian?
Me too
thanks
@@yirou_luo Ok
This “we’re going to Mars mission” keeps getting pushed back more and more.can you guys just not say we’re going until the YEAR OF at this point 😂😂ijs 😂ya breaking some hearts out here 😢
2:38 I learn new things each time I watch What If. I have never seen that before. @.@
Good friday everyone
Me:OW YEAH, FİNNALY ITS HERE
What if: Yes
But actually no.
Me: Aghhhhhhhh nooo. Yes
Confused 🤔
Hmmm😂
Congrats to the early people who read this comment!
Yaa man
Thanksss
Comment bot
Mikasa 😂😆🤣
Im not that early tho-
congratulations on 5 million subscribers
This channel cracks me up cause the real answer for every hypothetical is death lol.
I SWEAR send this guy to NASA he will change our lives . 🤯🤯
Dude lemme make a bit of corrections
- "This guy" is just the voice actor, What If is directed by a whole lotta other people
- This stuff has already been discussed by NASA, the people at What If are just taking the public data and simplifying it for us
- How do you even think these videos are made?
yeah didn't thought about that .
what is inside a black hole
What a smooth transition to the sponsor
Happy Easter 🐣🐣🐣
Mr what if narrator can you give a tip how to find a lost cat my was lost last week 😭
Oh i am sorry i have also lost two cats😭
When you eat the shrimp tail
Waiting for this
Awesome video❤️ i like this what if😅
Saw this pop up on my phone insta click
i feel like this one will be one of the viral videos
This theory about nuclear powered rocket is lurking in my mind for almost half a decade.
But i still didnt know how will it work.
Who one here thinks "I am first" 😂😂
when the ad feels another what if story.
finally we saw who is behind what if
The huge problem I see with our current rocket designs is that all of them are designed to be launched from earth, if we are gonna go to Mars like it was a vacation destination we’d need to design rockets with the sole purpose of being only space capable and completely skip the gravitational challenges that come with exiting and reentering an atmosphere
Please don't Addverise anything before, interval and after the video clip. Because it affect on your viewers and thumbs up button.
Congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment .
Shut up this is not the channel for praying and congratulations
Stop using comment bots
@@ccm2059 this is there tactics
They make a channel
Do not put out content
Comment the same thing
Everyone get angry
Repeat
i had this question for over a year now .... finally i get an asnwer. thank you !!
Suggestion: What if tires didn't need air? :D
“Congrats to Everyone who is early and who found this comment🌿
Bot
piss off
First person to comment
E
Nice
No one cares
Are you sure?
@@L.I.G.H.T. that is how Thanos should be lol
love your vids!!!
yeah lets go a new video
Please do: what if we planted tree's on mars? and would it even be possible? and how would we do it?
Got a good video this is what if and heres what would happen if the Kuiper belt collapsed onto our solar system
I been watching for two years and can you do a what if video on what if all water could catch on fire pls
I watched these guys back when they were new .
Good Friday
Those blast waves look cool better
whatif i loveyour videos keep it up
What If is so cool!!
I can watch what if all day
yesterday i had a dream that you have made an video on the nuclear powered rockets and i woke up and saw you actually did it 😰😰😰
Next vedio:what if genies were real Plz make that vedio people will love to watch it
The rocket idea needs to go, it can be nuclear powered but the explosive engine needs to go, no one wants to ride a nuclear bomb into space
Make a video on what if nuclear power was not discovered by humans? or what if nuclear energy didnot exist?
i love the way you teach
Love your videos what if
Ayye! My boy SWDennis is here!
Thanks for the info, now I am gonna buy one at Amazon.
Elon Musk is 👋👋👋👋 Pete. 😂
Still we die. haha
What if I don't know how u get these thing but u do have a point
This guy could make quantum physics as easy as basic maths
the stargate series used the same thing for multiple types of engines in their space craft that they developed(albeit its scifi but the science behind most of it was real, at least the theories they used)
You know if the engines where always on the craft would explode when entering mars is atmosphere because of extrememely high velocity
Next episode: what if wasp-12b and hot Neptune never get sucked up to the sun in real world
Nice video.
