Underground cities inside caves, lava tubes, craters,… are much more realistic than any dome designs. Unless there is a habitable planet out there with dense, warm and breathable atmosphere, then underground city complex would be the best choice.
How about if slowly built a mars concrete substitute roof over a 100 to 300 wide crater .then the space beneath it gradually retrofit how you see fit .

A beautiful Utopia created by the same people that have denied US the same or similar environmentally safe & efficient conditions here...on Earth... where we live now.
I have worked in aerospace for over 20 years and over 7 years in the Space Industries. We can do all of this we have companies and people working on these problems NOW. I am too old to see come to reality however I am very excited about humanity's future on Mars. Teach your kids to dream and be engineers lol
Venturing out into our local solar system is our sentient species' next logical step. We already crossed vast oceans, explored from the highest mountains to the deepest oceanic trenches, and learned to live at the South Pole & in Low Earth Orbit. Next its on to the Moon and to Mars. Yeah, we need to take better care of our beautiful water planet, but we'll do better once our global population has plateaued and reached a sustainable equilibrium. Along the way, we'll watch SpaceX's Starship take ever longer journeys, carrying crew & cargo to each new project destination. I won't be around for most of these great leaps either, but if we can avoid self-destruction our innate human drive to innovate & explore will take us to the stars. Hats off to you aerospace engineers who designed & built everything that will make this glorious future a reality someday! Appreciate you...
I had been thinking about this for decades. I have designed plans and drawings of this very topic. Sending automated miners and concrete printers there years before the first person sets foot on Mars. I always thought this was our best option to lay the foundations for civilization on Mars.
The proposed construction of an underground city seems okay, on point. And the technology for "soiless farming" (not mentioned in this video) could be done for a Space Colony. The biggest problem people have not yet overcome is recycling. A "Zero Waste" civilization is a challenge I think humanity would need to accomplish before going to Mars.
We could if the corporations want to, but a buy new, always replacing is their money making design. Just think of all the precious metals locked into the land fields, from our electronic waste. Metals like gold, silver, copper, aluminum, steel, etc. When they tell you they are pushing for a sustainable & resilient world, they are straight up lying! They want a world where they control the materials & how you obtain them as well as how often you will. Planned obsolescence is the new design for everything!
Necessity is the mother of invention. A Mars colony would necessarily have limited importation of supplies, so any reuse of materials would be much more beneficial on Mars than Earth. It makes sense to believe that economics alone would resolve this issue. And too, a city dump would be unlikely to cause any environmental problems.The only concern would perhaps be esthetics, which at first might be an unaffordable luxury.
@@drmasroberts I agree with most of your statements. Except for trash dump sites or landfills. Waste dumps do pose an environmental hazard for lifeforms. The health of a Martian colony could and would be affected.
In the beginning you could argue that incinerators will be critical infrastructure - producing Co2, to eventually allow Mars to have its own atmosphere.
I love the space age imaginary stories. I won't be alive to see anything like this every happen so fantasy stories fill in longing in my heart to see this become reality.
Large scale excavation is not necessary initially because we have found several huge caverns and cave systems. Sealing all or part of them would be far easier.
One of the major problems with digging into the surface of Mars is the high concentration of toxic chlorine based elements in the soil. There are several heavy metals that would be toxic to plant and animal life also.
There's no "soil" on Mars, it's Regolith, powderised rock. Soil is a complex mixture of clays, sand, vegetable matter (carbon and nitrates) and microorganisms. To turn Regolith into soil, the Perchlorates are easily removed, they are very soluble in water, so could be washed out in large drums. The Martian atmosphere is mostly Carbo Dioxide, which can be used to grow inital plants to fix the carbon compounds like cellulose and carbohydrates. Not sure about where the Nitrogen comes from. Plants also need Potassium and other minerals to survive. The perchlorates are the easiest problem to solve.
Awesome video and great presentation of our future on a Mars colony. I loved the detail of a Starfleet symbol on a pillow (10'44"). Very nicely done with all
If you want to highlight a time on a video just type in 10:44 not sure why you invented a completely new format for writing the time that doesn't even make sense
This reminds of the films they made in the 1960s of what the future was going to look like in the year 2000. I'm still waiting on that collapsible refrigerator that comes out of the wall, and the robot oven that cooks my meals. I doubt the future Mars colony will look anything like what's shown here.
So because people in the 1960s made inaccurate predictions of the future, people in the 2020s are relegated to the same likelihood? There’s this little thing called artificial intelligence that’s a big deal right now, and it’s for a reason. Our predictive capabilities are far greater than the 60s. You are comparing a time when literally half of adults in the US smoked cigarettes to today - not the same society.
that's because they forgot to tell about the 100 year long Early access aka phase 0 where it's just a handfull of space tramps in very expensive tin cans.
Fun video. Early settlement in Lava atubes seems easier than excavating new areas for structures. Dropping tunneling machines into a crater floor and tunneling horizontally would also produce spaces that should be easy to seal off.
did I miss the part where it is explained where all the energy and fuel comes from that powers and drives all the equipment and machinery that is needed to make the materials and refine the minerals in the ground to start building this city?
Cool video. But it doesn't deal at all with one of the hugest problems with Mars colonization: Too vulnerable to destruction. All it would take to do tremendous damage or destroy the colony is one nut, or one enemy agent. That vulnerability would tend to turn a Mars colony into something like a military colony -- purely for security reasons, a Mars colony might not permit the degree of privacy that civilians in democracies typically enjoy. The colony would have to be constructed of many compartments capable of being sealed off and independent on short notice -- somewhat as submarines and ships sometimes have watertight compartments in part so damage in one spot doesn't spell doom.
The cold fact is many will suffer only to discover it will be much more difficult than we thought to leave our home planet, Earth, and survive anywhere else. And that perhaps, they might have been watching too many movies and living in naive fantasy lands.
Interesting how in virtually every photo, the people look miserable. I imagine this would be accurate to the reality of those who will eventually live in Mars.
Mars tends to get a lot of our attention, while Venus is largely ignored. However, the prospects of habitability there would be much easier than on our little red cousin. A gravity much closer to that of Earth would make this colony much more comfortable than our Martian city. Would you guys consider doing a video about setting up a floating colony in the upper atmosphere of Venus? Surface mining on Venus would be an exceedingly difficult task, but probe mining Mercury from Venus could be easier from this base.
The pressure and temperature on Venus is not survivable. The Venusian atmosphere is nasty, hot thick and corrosive. The planet emits so much radiation as it's surface is the hottest thing in the solar system except the sun. There is a very thin layer of oxygen in the upper atmosphere about 100km but everything else makes Venus totally inhospitable to humans and most if not all machinery.
Transporting metal for fabrication is going to be prohibitive, plus thousands of welding robots would represent a high maintenance requirement, and once you've used metal to create an airtight skin then you've got oxidisation problems from moisture within the sealed environment. Better off using resin to form reconstituted rock which would be airtight, and due to the lower gravity would enable larger structures than on earth. Weighted suits for work periods and sleep periods within a titled centrifuge on the crater wall would both work to reduce muscle and bone wastage etc. Putting human waste recycling above habitation and work areas would reduce raditiation exposure.
Copper yo. Do you get how much weight in copper we are talking about? Does Mars have a lot of easily mined copper too? We aren't flying all that there, nor any of dozens of other required materials. Lead and tungsten too. Smarter to just build orbital space stations up to autonomous to spread our mining reach, then see what makes sense to colonize and where. Might not make sense anywhere in our solar system, cost versus benefits wise.
I have a whole playlist of "food for thought". And honestly alot of your videos are on their. Whenever i get tp hang out with my nephews i put this kind of stuff on. They are 13 and 8. Hoping to get their scientific curiosity going xD
Earth quake happen when 2 tectonic plate have too much energy built up, but if the tectonic plates are not active on Mars from where the Mars quake could occur?
Remarkable and so detailed imagination... Congrats for the enormous effort on scientific accuracy that is relatively rare in these futuristic docs...kudos for that Though the complete undertaking of the building process by robots takes away any romance for me....I like it when people build things themselves and not when everything is handed over to them without any effort from them whatsoever.. Anyway, it seems to me we will prefer superficial domes than this but whatever, we'll see...With the rate we are going it's possible we will build colonies to nearby stars before building underground cities to Mars... In our own solar system, it is easier to simply build cities on Earth!
EVERY DREAM IN THE PAST COMES TRUE IN PRESENT ❗ QUITE APPRECIATED TO YOUR SCIENCE FICTION WHICH IS QUITELY BASED ON SCIENCE RULES AND PRINCIPLES AND AT THE SAME TIME USING THE CREATIVE AND SCIENTIFIC THINKING TO FIND THE SOLUTIONS OF PROBLEMS. ACTUALLY IT IS AN AMAZING DOCUMENTARY ♥️ YEARNING TO WATCH YOUR NEXT EPISODE ♥️
Please explain to me as to why man would take hundreds of thousands of years, many of these years in the last few thousands, finally achieving the technology to drag themselves out of caves here on earth, just to finally leave the planet and huddle in caves again? Is that what we have achieved?
Ok ahhm mining minirals, building furture settlements, getting excusid minarals to enhance the furture earth,building advanced space craft, selling the minarals to aliens, yearh i wrote aliens, they do exist you know?
@@HeineAnkerJensen1982 : why would we send humans to mine on any planet in this solar system, even today, our robotics are fully capable of ding this. Besides if resources are the problem, we could mine asteroids far more easily, or the moon. Human future is for exploration and knowledge, not mining. Besides, if we have the technology to mine planets, moons and asteroids, we have the technology to fix the planet that we live on. We should focus on our home planet until we are technically capable of interstellar flight.
We humans really need to start colonizing mars as soon as possible a human mission to mars is exactly the type of challenge that NASA needs mars is a place that we humans can settle. We humans must become at least a 2 planet species there’s to many accidents that can happen to a single planet species like us humans we must move out into space we can not stay here on earth 🌎 forever hopefully we can get humans to mars within the next 15 to 30 years from now.
Okay, this will never ever happen for one simple reason... there is absolutely nothing there so valuable that it justifies us building a colony on Mars.
There is a lot of water everywhere on Mars not only at the poles. That was discovered by the crash of a small meteorite near equator blowing a big bunch of water ice around the site 2 years ago.
With a bit more funding put into space travel humans could go to Mars within a decade. The technology is there, and if you are referring to travel time. People hundreds of years ago would go on boats across the ocean for months at a time. Granted space travel is different from that and would be harder, but humans are very resilient. And when it comes to the air and radiation on Mars. Governments and companies would obviously have things set up through sending previous missions with robots and supplies for a basic living station. So yes, people are very capable of going to Mars
Underground cities on MARS, will be the best way to protect and pressurize. City's can have high ceilings and open plazas. The Expanse TV show, gives great examples Ceres and Mars of underground cities.
The only phase missing from this is the ground investigation phase. Supremely important in all ground engineering. This would improve planning and design stages and mitigate hazards, improve risk and ultimately cost and programme time. We don't always get this phase right on Earth, so we need to make sure we are really doing it suitably on Mars. The stakes are always high with lives in hand, but in extreme remote environments you can't afford to underfund site and ground investigation.
Given the lack of atmosphere and the presence of meteorites, what are the changes of a meteorite hitting underground city? Can the roof be thick enough to prevent major damage to structure or inhabitants? I don't the video addressed this point. Great video and narration of course, I just was wondering.
Beautiful visuals! I was glad to hear you considered the problem of perchlorates and 38% Earth gravity. I wonder though, whether orbital rotating structures such as O'Neill cylinders would be the way to go. They can be built arbitrarily large, provide Earth gravity and massive shielding from space radiation and meteorites, and robotically constructed. In theory, billions of people could live in these habitats spread around the Solar System, and they would be more accessible than planetary colonies.
Thank you for the American Freedom Mile metrics translations... my students thank you as well. I watch these videos a lot... I will donate as soon as I can, retired, teach for free... Great Videos and again thank you for the Km to Mile translations.
@@VentureCity Type 1 Now we are talking. We can’t find out how long it would take us to reach that level because human development is kinda random. Maybe another cold war could make it a million times faster. Seriously. A scientist during the cold war, could go to the American government and say one word “Russia” and the government would reply with two words, “How much?” This was the era when we saw amazing development in an amazingly short period. The current American monopoly doesn’t make it seem important to the government to fund those scientists more. Ok, coming back to type one, when we become the planetary civilization. Now our main fuel source is NUCLEAR FUEL. But you would argue, isn’t that a thing today? Well, yes it is, but it is 1, dangerous to operate so not used in bulk, and 2, we use nuclear fission for our energy. The type one civilization will be based on nuclear fusion. Fusion releases a lot more energy and can be performed with simple elements like hydrogen, compared to fission, which needs rare metals like uranium or plutonium. We would have propulsor technology which would allow us to launch rockets into space without using that absurd amount of fuel, and make interplanetary travel easy. Type 2 Now we are a stellar civilization. The main source of our energy is nearby stars. We are now so developed that energy from nuclear fusion is not enough to fulfill our development needs. So, we take the next leap, Energy From Nearby Stars. No, I don’t mean we would plant solar panels in the oceans, we would plant them on the star…yup. Freeman Dyson, a theoretical physicist originated the concept of a Dyson sphere. We would build a system of rings around a nearby star and obtain all its energy, for our use. A very interesting event happened with a star names Tabby’s Star. Its intensity suddenly dropped by 22 percent! Scientists suspect the only way this is possible, as far we know is if someone built a Dyson sphere around it, someone who is already a type two civilization. Here is the quote from the wiki, Type 3 Introducing the Galactic Civilization, and the final level according to the original scale. Our energy source would still be Dyson’s sphere, however, this time we will build them all over the galaxy to fund our experiments. We would be able to access wormholes and zap through space. It is a theoretical object if you don’t know what that is. Imagine the universe as a piece of paper. You are on a point on a paper and want to go to some other point. Instead of traveling, you fold the paper in such a way that the point you are on and the point you want to go in touch with each other. Then you make a hole in your location and enter the place you want to go to. This is roughly how wormholes would function. A type 3 would not be able to build wormholes but can zap through preexisting ones. Type 4 Now we are a universal civilization. Our main energy source is supernovas! That is when a star explodes, releasing an absurd amount of energy. We would be traveling through multiple galaxies and extracting energy from supernovas. At this stage, humans would become immortal, like seriously! We would be able to upload our consciousness, the feeling of existing, along with our memory and experiences into a computer, and live in the metaverse or download that consciousness to another body, like the body of Ultron, and switch avatars and stuff. Being free from our biological bodies would open up new horizons for this civilization. We would also be capable of creating type 0 civilizations. They are kinda god-like, but not quite there yet. Type 5 Being a type 5, humans realize something amazing, they find that multiverses exist. This might sound like science fiction, but remember going to space was also fiction in the early 1900s, having self-driving cars was fiction in the late 1900s. So now we are MULTIVERAL CIVILIZATIONS. An unimaginable amount of energy would be required to go multiversal. A type 5 civilization will probably be looking for White Holes at a time. They are only theoretical but their existence can be proved using Einstein’s Field Equations. It has been estimated that a white hole can emit energy equivalent to 14 million times that of an average galaxy! Now humans might assume they are at the peak of civilization, but soon they will realize the greater truth. Type 6 We have always lived in a 3D world. Our brains are not capable of imagining things in the 4th dimension. But a type 6 can make their brains for their conscious selves. Their bodies are nothing but pure consciousness, and even going up by one dimension we would become a hundred times more efficient. Type 7 But now, humans think they have reached the peak of their civilization. There is no greater truth that they do not know. It is now time that Humans realize the existence of a type 7 civilization, the one we all worship, yes I am talking of the existence of Gods, the real type 7 beings…would be pretty cool right? Many scientists consider we would never really reach the status of a Type 7 civilization. A type7 can manipulate the laws of physics it can make matter from the vacuum, and generate a tremendous amount of energy with its Godly Power. That’s why type 7 has been rightfully called The Creator Civilization, which can build its universes, with any laws of physics, and play with the laws of physics and manipulate them the way it pleases. Millions of type 6 civilizations together cannot compare to the immense power of type 7. Feels sad no one will be able to develop to a type 7 or will we?🌏🌎🌍🌐🌐🌐🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
We will probably start with cut-and-cover: dig a ditch, build something airtight and quake-proof in the ditch, maybe a pre-fab, cover it over (fill in the ditch) for insulation and to protect from micrometeoroid strikes and radiation. Cheap, relatively easy and effective using a minimum of resources.
A fun look towards the future, the energy requirements to build such a thing are wildly prohibitive though, as is the gravity for long term habitation.
We've done this before when we came to earth long ago....had to live under ground for many centuries and many generations of people till we got accustomed to the surface😊
it gonne to another level using stock photos with ai videos, really healping shape the image that you are trying to bring, alsoi love how the randon space X and boring company failures are thosed there like they will be something in the future other than a joke, anyway, continue the journey of using ai videos in a good way.
Sounds like a good plan but I'd have more shields on the dome. So one outside, one inside that can shut up during storms or meteor strikes and one horizontal at the base of the dome, various small bunkers outside to house radar and air defence missiles to knock down threatening meteors. Could even build a launch pad into a nearby crater for rockets or other future ships. Have shutter doors for easier maintenance and living quarters for the initial crew that aid in and direct construction.
"Yes, we build this structure on Mars with supermodels, yeah. And everybody looks always really good, strutting around in their sleek space suits that are basically high-fashion runway attire. Each command center is like a celestial glam zone with perfect lighting for that Instagrammable moment. The Mars landscape might be red and rugged, but the vibe is all about chic space exploration. Forget just discovering new worlds; we’re redefining interplanetary aesthetics! Who knew that saving humanity could look so fabulous?"
Put large monsters in the walls and put live feed to the outside to simulate windows looking out over the surface. Ten meter thick radiation shielding. Then soil scrubbers to decontaminate it.
You can do that on earth without travelling to mars.... Coober Pedy in outback South Australia has hundreds of underground homes and businesses not to mention many others throughout the world.
Hi, great video. It's dream-inspiring but also nightmare-inducing. It raises many questions, such as: how could we succeed in doing something on Mars that we can't do here on Earth? How are we going to defend human rights on Mars when we can't do it on Earth? What's the difference between Mars and a prison? Will it be a privilege or a punishment to live there? Why are so many people working on this topic when there are much more urgent problems to solve here and now? Will Mars be private or public? Who will fund such a project, and who will benefit from it? If we are too many on Earth, won't we also be too many on Mars? My dream is for humanity to finally free itself from money and corporations, and for all peoples to share knowledge and Earth's resources in order to live in harmony with each other and with nature. Once we achieve this minimum, maybe we can start dreaming of living elsewhere. Otherwise, what's the point of repeating on Mars what we endure on Earth? We have enough problems to solve here; why add more elsewhere?
This is the correct approach but dont forget any human presence on Mars or our moon should be understood as a means to increase our energy dense efforts to go beyond our solar system.
Underground cities inside caves, lava tubes, craters,… are much more realistic than any dome designs. Unless there is a habitable planet out there with dense, warm and breathable atmosphere, then underground city complex would be the best choice.

Great content and visuals. Thank you!
Great content. AI voice is maddening. Couldn't finish.
Interesting video ! Thanks
It Will happen.❤❤
Шикарное видео. Спасибо!
This is so good, great use of AI.
do you know which ai are they uusing?
@@SufyanAshfaq-bh8lf No I do not.
Maybe MidJourney
So thorough! This could be a great series due to what appears to be a long process in completion!
Mars tends to get a lot of our attention, while Venus is largely ignored. However, the prospects of habitability there would be much easier than on our little red cousin. A gravity much closer to that of Earth would make this colony much more comfortable than our Martian city. Would you guys consider doing a video about setting up a floating colony in the upper atmosphere of Venus? Surface mining on Venus would be an exceedingly difficult task, but probe mining Mercury from Venus could be easier from this base.
I should look into it further
The pressure and temperature on Venus is not survivable. The Venusian atmosphere is nasty, hot thick and corrosive. The planet emits so much radiation as it's surface is the hottest thing in the solar system except the sun. There is a very thin layer of oxygen in the upper atmosphere about 100km but everything else makes Venus totally inhospitable to humans and most if not all machinery.
Nicely done, thanks for showing how it might be done one day.
Transporting metal for fabrication is going to be prohibitive, plus thousands of welding robots would represent a high maintenance requirement, and once you've used metal to create an airtight skin then you've got oxidisation problems from moisture within the sealed environment.
Better off using resin to form reconstituted rock which would be airtight, and due to the lower gravity would enable larger structures than on earth.
Weighted suits for work periods and sleep periods within a titled centrifuge on the crater wall would both work to reduce muscle and bone wastage etc.
Putting human waste recycling above habitation and work areas would reduce raditiation exposure.
Copper yo. Do you get how much weight in copper we are talking about? Does Mars have a lot of easily mined copper too? We aren't flying all that there, nor any of dozens of other required materials. Lead and tungsten too. Smarter to just build orbital space stations up to autonomous to spread our mining reach, then see what makes sense to colonize and where. Might not make sense anywhere in our solar system, cost versus benefits wise.
@@JulioConnory I didn't mention copper
Love this content. I just subscribed. 👍
I couldn't imagine that living in the dead sands of Mars could be so exciting, but now I'm convinced that it sucks!
I have a whole playlist of "food for thought". And honestly alot of your videos are on their. Whenever i get tp hang out with my nephews i put this kind of stuff on. They are 13 and 8. Hoping to get their scientific curiosity going xD
Earth quake happen when 2 tectonic plate have too much energy built up, but if the tectonic plates are not active on Mars from where the Mars quake could occur?
Remarkable and so detailed imagination...
Congrats for the enormous effort on scientific accuracy that is relatively rare in these futuristic docs...kudos for that
Though the complete undertaking of the building process by robots takes away any romance for me....I like it when people build things themselves and not when everything is handed over to them without any effort from them whatsoever..
Anyway, it seems to me we will prefer superficial domes than this but whatever, we'll see...With the rate we are going it's possible we will build colonies to nearby stars before building underground cities to Mars...
In our own solar system, it is easier to simply build cities on Earth!
thank you for your kind words
How can a "Biosphere" work on Mars, when they couldn't even get one to work on Earth? LOL!
My thoughts exactly. I can see a colony of rovers and robots being up there...but not humans...unless it's just for a few days.
This is brilliant and brilliantly done subbing hard af
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
Except when the ground under his feet become overpopulated
... said the weasel.
A very imaginative video. Perhaps it will come to fruition in about 10,000 years, if humanity survives that long. I hope so.
Dude... this will be a lifeless bunker
Before they build all that on Mars...they might want to build one in a barren desert on Earth...to make sure it actually works.
EVERY DREAM IN THE PAST COMES TRUE IN PRESENT ❗
QUITE APPRECIATED TO YOUR SCIENCE FICTION WHICH IS QUITELY BASED ON SCIENCE RULES AND PRINCIPLES AND AT THE SAME TIME USING THE CREATIVE AND SCIENTIFIC THINKING TO FIND THE SOLUTIONS OF PROBLEMS.
ACTUALLY IT IS AN AMAZING DOCUMENTARY ♥️
YEARNING TO WATCH YOUR NEXT EPISODE ♥️
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Fiction Fantasy !
I love this. nicely done.
Please explain to me as to why man would take hundreds of thousands of years, many of these years in the last few thousands, finally achieving the technology to drag themselves out of caves here on earth, just to finally leave the planet and huddle in caves again? Is that what we have achieved?
It’s a necessary step along the way to a much grander future.
@@NoTorr2000what is this grander future? We seem to be building towards something but not solving what is already here
@@NoTorr2000 : human's will not have left the solar system before my great, great, great, great, great, ... grandchildren have passed
Ok ahhm mining minirals, building furture settlements, getting excusid minarals to enhance the furture earth,building advanced space craft, selling the minarals to aliens, yearh i wrote aliens, they do exist you know?
@@HeineAnkerJensen1982 : why would we send humans to mine on any planet in this solar system, even today, our robotics are fully capable of ding this. Besides if resources are the problem, we could mine asteroids far more easily, or the moon. Human future is for exploration and knowledge, not mining. Besides, if we have the technology to mine planets, moons and asteroids, we have the technology to fix the planet that we live on. We should focus on our home planet until we are technically capable of interstellar flight.
Reminds me of Loveless' secret city in Wild Wild West. All you need now is a giant mechanical tarantula to drive. 😎👍
We humans really need to start colonizing mars as soon as possible a human mission to mars is exactly the type of challenge that NASA needs mars is a place that we humans can settle.
We humans must become at least a 2 planet species there’s to many accidents that can happen to a single planet species like us humans we must move out into space we can not stay here on earth 🌎 forever hopefully we can get humans to mars within the next 15 to 30 years from now.
It all sounds great ,only it may take a thousand years to start this plan.
Okay, this will never ever happen for one simple reason... there is absolutely nothing there so valuable that it justifies us building a colony on Mars.
Right? There’s just no point.
Great documentary.
10,000 people land on Mars...then run out of water one week later. 😮 Then realize they should have colonized Earth's deserts instead.
There is a lot of water everywhere on Mars not only at the poles. That was discovered by the crash of a small meteorite near equator blowing a big bunch of water ice around the site 2 years ago.
Love it, what’s beautiful vision.
Glad you like it
I'm sick of AI content
This video is awesome.
First, first to say LOL you cant go to mars silly
Yes we can, we have done it already with rovers silly
@@xdg938 people can't go silly
@@freebie808 Theoretically we can, we have the technology
People take these videos to seriously
With a bit more funding put into space travel humans could go to Mars within a decade. The technology is there, and if you are referring to travel time. People hundreds of years ago would go on boats across the ocean for months at a time. Granted space travel is different from that and would be harder, but humans are very resilient.
And when it comes to the air and radiation on Mars. Governments and companies would obviously have things set up through sending previous missions with robots and supplies for a basic living station.
So yes, people are very capable of going to Mars
Underground cities on MARS, will be the best way to protect and pressurize. City's can have high ceilings and open plazas. The Expanse TV show, gives great examples Ceres and Mars of underground cities.
Interlocking habitat modules and sanitation plumbing.
Adorable

Awesomeness 😊
Real cool 😎
Thank you 🧬🧫🔬🔭
The only phase missing from this is the ground investigation phase. Supremely important in all ground engineering. This would improve planning and design stages and mitigate hazards, improve risk and ultimately cost and programme time. We don't always get this phase right on Earth, so we need to make sure we are really doing it suitably on Mars. The stakes are always high with lives in hand, but in extreme remote environments you can't afford to underfund site and ground investigation.
Wow, very interesting

Given the lack of atmosphere and the presence of meteorites, what are the changes of a meteorite hitting underground city? Can the roof be thick enough to prevent major damage to structure or inhabitants? I don't the video addressed this point. Great video and narration of course, I just was wondering.
cool video. on min 17:35 ff, that's Salzburg parking garage in the Mönchsberg, very cool place.
Beautiful visuals! I was glad to hear you considered the problem of perchlorates and 38% Earth gravity. I wonder though, whether orbital rotating structures such as O'Neill cylinders would be the way to go. They can be built arbitrarily large, provide Earth gravity and massive shielding from space radiation and meteorites, and robotically constructed. In theory, billions of people could live in these habitats spread around the Solar System, and they would be more accessible than planetary colonies.
what a really intresting video, man,i will grow my spirulina not over sea ,but on Mars, Arthrospira Platensis for our Fututur 🧬✌

@@VentureCity Type 1
Now we are talking. We can’t find out how long it would take us to reach that level because human development is kinda random. Maybe another cold war could make it a million times faster. Seriously. A scientist during the cold war, could go to the American government and say one word “Russia” and the government would reply with two words, “How much?” This was the era when we saw amazing development in an amazingly short period. The current American monopoly doesn’t make it seem important to the government to fund those scientists more.
Ok, coming back to type one, when we become the planetary civilization. Now our main fuel source is NUCLEAR FUEL. But you would argue, isn’t that a thing today? Well, yes it is, but it is 1, dangerous to operate so not used in bulk, and 2, we use nuclear fission for our energy. The type one civilization will be based on nuclear fusion. Fusion releases a lot more energy and can be performed with simple elements like hydrogen, compared to fission, which needs rare metals like uranium or plutonium. We would have propulsor technology which would allow us to launch rockets into space without using that absurd amount of fuel, and make interplanetary travel easy.
Type 2
Now we are a stellar civilization. The main source of our energy is nearby stars. We are now so developed that energy from nuclear fusion is not enough to fulfill our development needs. So, we take the next leap, Energy From Nearby Stars. No, I don’t mean we would plant solar panels in the oceans, we would plant them on the star…yup. Freeman Dyson, a theoretical physicist originated the concept of a Dyson sphere. We would build a system of rings around a nearby star and obtain all its energy, for our use.
A very interesting event happened with a star names Tabby’s Star. Its intensity suddenly dropped by 22 percent! Scientists suspect the only way this is possible, as far we know is if someone built a Dyson sphere around it, someone who is already a type two civilization. Here is the quote from the wiki,
Type 3
Introducing the Galactic Civilization, and the final level according to the original scale. Our energy source would still be Dyson’s sphere, however, this time we will build them all over the galaxy to fund our experiments. We would be able to access wormholes and zap through space. It is a theoretical object if you don’t know what that is. Imagine the universe as a piece of paper. You are on a point on a paper and want to go to some other point. Instead of traveling, you fold the paper in such a way that the point you are on and the point you want to go in touch with each other. Then you make a hole in your location and enter the place you want to go to. This is roughly how wormholes would function. A type 3 would not be able to build wormholes but can zap through preexisting ones.
Type 4
Now we are a universal civilization. Our main energy source is supernovas! That is when a star explodes, releasing an absurd amount of energy. We would be traveling through multiple galaxies and extracting energy from supernovas. At this stage, humans would become immortal, like seriously! We would be able to upload our consciousness, the feeling of existing, along with our memory and experiences into a computer, and live in the metaverse or download that consciousness to another body, like the body of Ultron, and switch avatars and stuff. Being free from our biological bodies would open up new horizons for this civilization. We would also be capable of creating type 0 civilizations. They are kinda god-like, but not quite there yet.
Type 5
Being a type 5, humans realize something amazing, they find that multiverses exist. This might sound like science fiction, but remember going to space was also fiction in the early 1900s, having self-driving cars was fiction in the late 1900s. So now we are MULTIVERAL CIVILIZATIONS. An unimaginable amount of energy would be required to go multiversal. A type 5 civilization will probably be looking for White Holes at a time. They are only theoretical but their existence can be proved using Einstein’s Field Equations. It has been estimated that a white hole can emit energy equivalent to 14 million times that of an average galaxy! Now humans might assume they are at the peak of civilization, but soon they will realize the greater truth.
Type 6
We have always lived in a 3D world. Our brains are not capable of imagining things in the 4th dimension. But a type 6 can make their brains for their conscious selves. Their bodies are nothing but pure consciousness, and even going up by one dimension we would become a hundred times more efficient.
Type 7
But now, humans think they have reached the peak of their civilization. There is no greater truth that they do not know. It is now time that Humans realize the existence of a type 7 civilization, the one we all worship, yes I am talking of the existence of Gods, the real type 7 beings…would be pretty cool right?
Many scientists consider we would never really reach the status of a Type 7 civilization. A type7 can manipulate the laws of physics it can make matter from the vacuum, and generate a tremendous amount of energy with its Godly Power. That’s why type 7 has been rightfully called The Creator Civilization, which can build its universes, with any laws of physics, and play with the laws of physics and manipulate them the way it pleases. Millions of type 6 civilizations together cannot compare to the immense power of type 7. Feels sad no one will be able to develop to a type 7 or will we?🌏🌎🌍🌐🌐🌐🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
That would be very cool 😎
Yes please!!
Far more rational than the many domed city renderings that would offer too little protection from the bitter cold at night.
We will probably start with cut-and-cover: dig a ditch, build something airtight and quake-proof in the ditch, maybe a pre-fab, cover it over (fill in the ditch) for insulation and to protect from micrometeoroid strikes and radiation. Cheap, relatively easy and effective using a minimum of resources.
A fun look towards the future, the energy requirements to build such a thing are wildly prohibitive though, as is the gravity for long term habitation.
They should build stuff like this on earth. Especially for hurricanes
We've done this before when we came to earth long ago....had to live under ground for many centuries and many generations of people till we got accustomed to the surface😊
it gonne to another level using stock photos with ai videos, really healping shape the image that you are trying to bring, alsoi love how the randon space X and boring company failures are thosed there like they will be something in the future other than a joke, anyway, continue the journey of using ai videos in a good way.
Sounds like a good plan but I'd have more shields on the dome. So one outside, one inside that can shut up during storms or meteor strikes and one horizontal at the base of the dome, various small bunkers outside to house radar and air defence missiles to knock down threatening meteors. Could even build a launch pad into a nearby crater for rockets or other future ships. Have shutter doors for easier maintenance and living quarters for the initial crew that aid in and direct construction.
"Yes, we build this structure on Mars with supermodels, yeah. And everybody looks always really good, strutting around in their sleek space suits that are basically high-fashion runway attire. Each command center is like a celestial glam zone with perfect lighting for that Instagrammable moment. The Mars landscape might be red and rugged, but the vibe is all about chic space exploration. Forget just discovering new worlds; we’re redefining interplanetary aesthetics! Who knew that saving humanity could look so fabulous?"
Is this an excerpt from somewhere?
@@DynesLair-kb6qs I was trying to be funny
Put large monsters in the walls and put live feed to the outside to simulate windows looking out over the surface. Ten meter thick radiation shielding. Then soil scrubbers to decontaminate it.
Imagine traveling to mars and building your own home by digging out a section of an underground tunnel. A lot of people would be excited to do so.
You can do that on earth without travelling to mars.... Coober Pedy in outback South Australia has hundreds of underground homes and businesses not to mention many others throughout the world.
Hi, great video. It's dream-inspiring but also nightmare-inducing. It raises many questions, such as: how could we succeed in doing something on Mars that we can't do here on Earth? How are we going to defend human rights on Mars when we can't do it on Earth? What's the difference between Mars and a prison? Will it be a privilege or a punishment to live there? Why are so many people working on this topic when there are much more urgent problems to solve here and now? Will Mars be private or public? Who will fund such a project, and who will benefit from it? If we are too many on Earth, won't we also be too many on Mars?
My dream is for humanity to finally free itself from money and corporations, and for all peoples to share knowledge and Earth's resources in order to live in harmony with each other and with nature. Once we achieve this minimum, maybe we can start dreaming of living elsewhere. Otherwise, what's the point of repeating on Mars what we endure on Earth? We have enough problems to solve here; why add more elsewhere?
This is the correct approach but dont forget any human presence on Mars or our moon should be understood as a means to increase our energy dense efforts to go beyond our solar system.
