But birds will apparently also beat humans to Mars and then we'll probably lose the inevitable interplanetary war. This channel has opened my eyes to how much of a threat birds truly are.
@@ressljs What? so we like to simulate universes where instead of humans rule it, birds rule it. wait. oof, wrong timeline. i need to get back to my time.
Its funnier when you remember each bird is unique and was designed for a patreon supporter. so basically, Kurzgesagt really enjoys murdering its supporters.
Samuel Gregorian The United States are pathetic I agree. They use fahrentheit and feet for temperature and distance and they are inferior to Celsius and Metres
Gos R. mm/dd/yyyy. 10/08/1976. “October the 8th 1976”...that’s why, logic has nothing to do with it language does, that’s just how North America says the date in English, I understand that “8th of October 1976” is valid and understood, just not the custom currently.
What year is this from? I'm from the year 36,749,126,892,451 HE. Myself and several others were looking through some outdated files from an outdated digital platform called, what was it... The internet I think. Anyways what is this Earth you speak of?
this channel's extreme love for science fiction things inspired me, making me inspired and determined enough to ad them into my books, this has sprouted an entire alien species in it, then an entire series of books, about nine of them too! This is amazing. i've always loved this series, but the fact that It inspired me this much is more insane than half of my villains
Kurzgesagt usually refers people as “Humans,” and has a lot of birds, so is Kurzgesagt secretly a bunch of birds able to talk working together and possibly helping/warning Humans about the near future?
I just think it’s crazy that not too long ago they managed to look up and wonder what these things in the sky where and thought it’s absolutely impossible to get close enough to see what they are, now we are looking into how we can land here and sustain life here, I just wish I could see what 500 yesrs into the future will be like if we got there if we have started anything
@@clarawesley6097 I hate this argument. It's not like 7 billion people can focus on the same thing. We can work on both saving our habitat and building a new one at the same time, howboutdat?
And Mars is downright hospitable compared to everywhere else. Venus would melt your spaceship and Titan is freezing cold and rains methane. But we can't even Terraform Earth. Lets do that before we think about Mars.
So many Easter eggs, I like it :^) 1. "Total Recal" movie (1990) - 2:32 2. "Alien" movie - 3:46 3. "Mars attacks!" movie - 4:33 4. "The Martian" movie - 5:22 5. "Doom" (first, indeed) game - 7:07 6. "Halo" game helmet - 7:16 Something else?
I'm reading the hard sci-fi book Red Mars right now and it covers a lot of these topics. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in a story featuring the struggles of mars colonisation, both practically and mentally.
@@consuelovalk1507 Isaac Asimov . These are the famous robot novels. The first one is called " The caves of steel" #2 is called " The naked sun" I can't remember what the last one is called
"After being stuck indoors in tight spaces without windows, with the same people, performing the same routines day in, day out with little contact from the outside world and a lot to worry about" So, about that...
Underground in a very large cave might give a jump start . With the explorers we should be searching for such a place in advance . Once you get enough people there maybe we can push our limits . To do nothing or not try would be a big mistake in my view . They should use a cave on earth to see what could be done and how it could help .
Even if the Earth and Mars is perfectly allined it would take 3 minutes and few seconds to transform data if the settilites has no delay (but they have) so it would be at least 20000 ping and probably 8-10 times more then theay are in opposite side (actually when they are in opposite sides it might not connect at all)
I wouldn't be surprised if companies begin building satellites and cable and stuff and send pre download them and send them to colonist for entertainment
You shall be there strength and shield, slayer. Rip and tear until it is done, they only fear you. New objective: RIP and tear. How much Time left: Until it is done
Illuminating video. I have been familiar with many of the practical challenges most likely involved in humans conquering Mars but NOT all of those mentioned here until now. I also absolutely love Kurzgesagt's animation style, would love to play a strategy game involving building and managing a Mars base in this art style.
Come on, they could install tiny window-cleaners on the cameras too. Nevertheless, I think they should create an atmosphere with robots before sending any humans to live there. Colonizing Mars might sound cool, but at this point we could only send people to their deaths with no profit whatsoever. Humans are super-expensive to sustain on hostile planets. Sending a group to set up atmosphere creating equipment then bringing them back would be the sensible first step. ...But when has humanity EVER been sensible? T-T
yYSilverFoxYy is there any reason robots wouldn’t just be better. I remember reading an article that a bunch of students found a way to turn mars dust into a concrete like substance, combine that with the fact we have concrete 3D printers that can print small houses. Why can’t we remotely control stuff from earth.
“But we’re stubborn, and we like extreme challenges” true facts and this applies to everyone on earth since ppl always want to get better because we always can!
Because we know no matter how horrible or imposible it looks we will make it sooner or later anyways Humanity could achieve almost anything whit enough time.
I can't even imagine the fear and panic it would cause to be stuck on Mars if there was some sort of mechanical failure. Just knowing how delayed your communication is, Earth is extremely far away, and that death is certain. Honestly if we ever do send humans to Mars, I wouldn't be surprised if the first mission ends in disaster, and that it stains interest enough to where manned Mars missions are abandoned.
We'd definitely go again in death never stopped exploration. It's human nature. The Spaniards lost many men but kept trying to cross the Atlantic until it was successful. Lewis and Clark didn't turn back because of losing a life they kept on trekking
Lmao how do you think we got to this point in societal advancement. Humans dying is necessary for our species to advance in many regards. How do you think we started using actual intellectual medicinal research? doctors literally argued about wether keeping a cut clean or dirty is better for the healing process. How’s about how much we learned from ww1 and 2 for medicine alone Death is necessary for most forms of evolution. Be it physical advancements or mental. With enough death evolution can begin.
@@daveed9849 that's literally why we have got the information we do... fucking hilarious man, think man! Nobody gave a Fuck about the lives of others in ww2 but because of what they did to people we have medicinal information we may not of figured out due to how unethical it was. Human beings were the lab rat. Someone else wrote down the results. Get off your high horse man facts are facts. Morality has never had anything to do with the pursuit of knowledge
Thanks to a new variant identified in the UK this could get much, much worse before the spring. We don’t know if the vaccines will work against the new variant.
Correction: We *don't* actually have the technology to get to Mars, much less establish a colony there. There are still huge challenges, like spacecraft radiation shielding, extreme vision degradation/eventual blindness after 6 months in zero G, damage to body systems that involved fluid (again due to low/zero G), and many technical challenges in tech relating to airlocks, robotics, etc. We might have plausible ideas about how to tackle these problems, but you never *have* the technology until you actually have it. The James Webb telescope is a perfect example: You could say we "had" the tech to build and launch the JWST in 1996 when the project began, but we did not, and ultimately it took 25 years and much, much more money than we planned for to make it happen. tl;dr - There's a big difference between having ideas about how to do something and actually possessing the tech to do it.
@@HS-ig4ly Check out what NASA's Robert Frost has to say about this kind of claim. He's brutally honest about what it takes, even if money and manpower is not limited. The reality is some of these are really difficult problems to overcome. The eventual blindness, for example. Because we evolved on a planet with 1g, we have evolved in such a way that fluid behind our eyes pools at the bottom of sacs. When humans spend time in zero G, that fluid no longer pools and the shape of our eyes -- including the lenses -- literally deform, causing irreversible vision damage. How would you deal with that? We learned about this problem from long-term ISS missions, which is *precisely* why we have the ISS in the first place: To learn about living -- or spending long amounts of time -- in space. We need to build a moon base first and iron out all the problems we can in a "local" stage rehearsal for an eventual Mars colony. On the moon, help is only three days away and evacuation is a possibility, whereas if something goes wrong on Mars, the soonest we can get there is about 9 months, and that's only if there's perfect timing and an optimal launch window with relation to both planets' orbits. Likewise, on the moon we can learn from our mistakes while we're still protected from radiation. En route to Mars and on Mars itself, we won't be. If you want to make the claim that we could do it today, you need to explain how. The burden of proof is on you.
Tech tends not to appear until there is a demand. If there is a serious desire to go to mars, the tech needed will be invented. Thankfully, SpaceX doesn't work on NASA time schedules. Tethering the ships together and spinning them like a bola for artificial gravity is the simplest option for reducing zero g health issues.
I'm from Brazil and thank you so much for adding captions, making it possible for people like me, who don't know English, to see this great science content
@@Fojabass nuclear power + solar should be plenty also screens does not have to be on all the time. It's worth it to have it since it makes astronauts feel less cramped in their already tiny base, it's good for their mental health, it would make their base feel much more vast.
While operating the robots you'd need to watch what they see through cameras anyway so I don't think extra screens are needed. But robot duty would be highly popular then.
They would get tired after years of being stuck with the same people, doing the same tasks, with no contact of the outside world. 2020 has liked this video.
4020: I heard the new kid is from Earth.. that's like.. 3 galaxies away.. in history class they say all humans are from Earth.. let's ask him some questions..
I always appreciate the easter egg nods to video game and pop culture in these videos. Like the Xenomorph in the windowless buildings section or the Doom Guy's face on the Earth and Mars resupply orbits section.
It warms the heart that even when humanity is flawed. Wars are still fought, politics and conflict but there are still people who look beyond themselves. We are capable of worse but we often forget we are also capable of being best.
I wonder what our primitive ancestors would think about what we've done. I wish I could tell them. Would they feel an unusual sense of pride in our development as a species? I mean, assuming they understandand that we're still the same species, how would they feel about the work of their distant, distant children? They did this, for us. We're doing this, for them. I wish I knew why, though.
No use populating another planet if we still kills each other like crazy and don't learn to live with each other... could only lead to a future war between Marcian Humans and Earth Humans most likely...
Nah, just look up and support the SENS Research Foundation, they are developing as we speak a plan to be able to actively repair our damaged parts from aging, practically defeating aging altogether. The more this is heard about, the quicker the support and development, and the end of the misery and pain of old age for most to all of us.
6:55 This is false. Yes the optimum launch window only occurs every two years but it isn't the only window. The hohmann transfer method uses the least fuel but if there was an emergency there are other launch windows but we just couldn't carry as much cargo for the same sized rocket.
It's also the fastest by a long way (using chemical rockets) if it takes a 1 or 1.5 years travel time without the launch window you might as well just launch in the window and save all that extra provisions and weight
If money wasn’t much an issue, could it technically be possible to have space stations spread around the orbital path that have cargo, crews, and emergency personal themselves to react in case of any emergencies on the planet? That way there’s always something within reasonable distance of the planet.
@Fresh Coconut it is optimum in that it uses the least amount of fuel but not optimum in time it takes to reach mars. The Hohmann transfer method has always been considered optimum because we have never had to prioritize time of arrival for any Martian endeavors. Yes the Hohmann transfer method uses the least amount of Delta-V by far but it only presents itself every 2 and a half years and takes 9 months to arrive. When a dire situation presents itself the command may sacrifice payload to achieve a better time of arrival. The video makes it seem like you can ONLY use the Hohmann transfer method which is false and is an understandable oversimplification to make. I watched the entire video and I love this channel I'm just pointing something out.
looking back at this animation in 2022 makes me realize how much work kurzgesagt has done in the past 3 years. This video is already pretty neat animation but the ones released in the following years are very noticibly better-crafted.
We're only so well suited for this planet because it's where we started as a species. We're kind of weak when you think about it. If only one thing in our complex biological system goes wrong, we die. On the bright side though, that makes life infinitely more valuable.
Actually microorganisms that live on Mars have their own way of living and need different resources so their a ok. On the other hand we have to use different machines to live there.
@@Rrtnns It's a guarantee that humanity will throw enough corpses at the problem to figure something out. That something may be that we need to push technology further (improve satelites and robotics enough to send satelites and RC droids to do all the prep work _before_ actually sending settlers), or to create better ways of minery energy production before making bases any further than the moon.
"but we're stubborn and we like extreme challenges" except if we need to save our own planet, then we just all say in harmony "it might already be to late"
@@lmpeters The book was written in 2011. The Phoenix Mission in the northern polar region of Mars was launched in 2007 and landed on Mars in 2008, this was the mission that detected the perchlorates in the soil. Potatoes are about the only thing we could grow in unmolested virgin Mars soil if we were to start growing as soon as the first habitat was established after landing. So the book isn't that terribly inaccurate in that regard.
Going to mars when all resources are required to make life good on earth is like buying a new house to make a breakfast because your kitchen is dirty and you don’t wanna clean it.
@@sajadentesari820 It's easy to target SpaceX specifically for "wasting" resources because they want to research on another planet, but the same could be said for any company. Why is Samsung building phones instead of homes? And your comment does imply the idea that trialing Mars would be like saying "Ah the old one is messed up, lemme get a new one".
Like in the movie Total Recall {from the 1990s) or Doom they would build the bases inside the mountains. This way they could have the wide open spaces necessary, to do and have everything it is that they need and want. While still being protected from the outside. And in place of windows, they would have cameras and viewscreens. This way it'll look like you can see outside and see whatever it is that you wanna see {Especially the sky and the Day/Night cycle so you don't get that weird feeling that happens where your body clock goes all topsy turvy). But you're actually not.
@@Monarch_Prime The cut off is intentional, it's supposed to symbolize the fact that whoever was meming it up on mars died suddenly to one of the many, many, many potential causes for death described in the video. It's not free, it'll cost tons of time, rescources and potentially lives.
@@Monarch_Prime I just wanted to explain because I worried initially that my stupid joke wouldn't be understood initially. I wasn't offended, don't worry my mans 👍🏽 It's the internet though, I can see very easily why it could be read that way.
Please Kurzgesagt, continue making these awesome, informational and factually correct videos in this time of misinformation and false facts on TH-cam. Such as "the infographics show".
The narrator is annoying the other narrator for some reason whenever he narrates the animations are cringe and they use cringe animations with sound affects and they keep using the same models that are sometimes incorrect in certain settings and they just make videos on random subjects unlike Kurzgesagt that shares fun information and topics.
Stuck in a small room, no windows, seeing the same faces, doing the same repetitive motions? Man, teenage me would be great at Mars-ing. *After seeing all of the replies* yes....... Video games..... That's exactly what I meant...... Nothing else.....
That's so meee!! My only question would be can I bring my PS4? Oh and don't forget to leave a gym so I can work on those muscles in order to stay healthy because of gravity 😂😂😂
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.
Of a truth people are making millions and billions in Crypto, after watching several TH-cam tutorial videos about trading I am still making losses, please I seek for a better website.
I started the year joyfully after partaking in cryptos December last year, never knew it was this lucrative. I'm still overwhelmed because this exceeded my expectations, I lack the skill but I earn while I learn.
Well they'd pick candidates that are quite the opposite of what you see in movies. That's for certain. It's not hard to find people suitable for the task. It requires a very long process of mental evaluation, to weed out the weak minded people.
To me, an average guy, one of the biggest wonders is mankind is our continued unrealistic attitude about colonising space. We might be able to get a few astronauts to survive a several horrific years on the surface of Mars, but to what end? Given the completely inhospitable environment and the logistics in transportation of the sufficient quantity of materials from earth, a self-sustainable station on Mars to be used as a base for exploring further into space is completely unrealistic . Further, given the seemingly impossible complexities involved, the idea that Mars would be a better base than earth to launch missions elsewhere seems more fantastical still. I love my science-fiction, but when it comes to colonising Mars, and I would love to be proven wrong, but think we have confused fiction with reality.
It’s the journey. The problem solving involved with all the challenges faced make humankind more adaptable and resilient. Otherwise we stay on a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mantra and never learn about all the potentially better ways we could be doing things because we’ve never needed to deal with those kinds of problems before.
Same way our ancestors would never have believed it to be possible for humans to fly look at us now. A viable yet distant future would be to use genetic engineering with tools like CRISPR to modify humans to be adaptable to space
I get what are you saying, to my knowledge we still need to develop some key technologies and better defined plans, but when Kennedy gave the deadline for getting to the moon by humans, some scientists on the field believed to be pure fantasy(Not because it was theoretically impossible but precisely because there were too many practical challenges). And even thou the Moon Landing wouldn't have been possible without the astronomical(heh) amount of founding because of the Cold War, you always need the passionate scientist and engineers to make the advances that funding alone can't get you. And while you can say that we didn't gain anything from the moon landing, I'd say that is totally false because 1st, which is often pointed out, technologies developed for space are some of the more useful tech for us people down here on earth. But even more important than that imo, samples and rocks from the moon help us to understand how the earth was created, how the solar system was created and how the universe was created or, to some degree, how the universe works. So I believe some of that discoveries will happen with Mars, even considering that we have been exploring and taking some samples for years now. And yeah, the way Mars can be a great base for further space explorations is something like when you make a travel in car with your destination 12hrs+ away. It would be nice to have more fuel and supplies somewhere on the way(I know you don't consume fuel on Space like on a place with constant gravity or atmosphere but still). Talking about that, the other reason is precisely Mars have noticeable less gravity than Earth and a super thin atmosphere, those are the kind of conditions make it way easier to launch rockets, the same reason why the moon could be a great exploration base too, the moon even having "easy" access to produce rocket fuel and water. And this bases shouldn't be rebundant either, with more infrastructure out there more versatile and fastest space exploration should be. Of course, even though all of this is true or possibly, it's theoretical for now but sometimes humanity makes big jumps between what is theoretical and practical, on the last century this happened very often. In fact, there are stories that sci-fi inspired future scientists to discover or explore those topics(maybe a silly example). I think is obvious I'm all for colonizing Mars if possible, but I understand that it may be impossible now or forever. But Im sure the future astronauts will be some that understand the risks better than anyone, on the mission to Mars, because other than train like crazy is good to remember most astronauts have PhD in Physics or Engineering, so they should have the risks crystal clear compared to us.
@@cabo1656 thanks for your well written comment. I am opening to the idea that it could happen, but I really think we are so far away from a colony on Mars, a small, cramped base for a few brave astronauts perhaps, but they are very different things.
@@milinkerhe haha I admit I'm a bit of a dreamer for the potential science, that is why I like to study it(thou my major level of expertise is biology lol). But yeah, that it's why like to look back at different eras of great discoveries on knowledge from different cultures, and all of them put great importance on the knowledge it self on some way and/or on the people that created knowledge(a lot of different astronomical knowledge was created by astrologers or some form of shamans, that originally wanted to study the sky for predictions or religion). And well, we get the correlation that when we emphasize the importance of knowledge, knowledge is created exponentially, maybe is kinda obvious but I think is still important to keep on mind. And about Mars, yes of course, to my understanding the more optimistic projections are that a colony would be in various decades and other stimates are 100+ years. I guess my point is that I want it to be missions to Mars as soon as possible because that is what make us improve, the technology and science(of course "ASAP" while mataining security standards, but it's always a risk being sloppy and the people in charge must be always vigilant). I mean I know there have been a lot of advances, but even then it's not secret that NASA has been on something like stagnation for many years. And without clear objectives or missions, the technology or science never will advance as fast as it could. In a more active environment, one never know what crazy technology can come out, but again I'm fully aware about the current projections just that there is way to better the chances and I personally believe that as soon as humanity hit milestone on Space its better for everyone, hopefully. Ups, sorry for the long text, I think it's exciting talking about this stuff.

Type 1 is kinda lame. It means the mass extinction of all other life on the species home planet. Think Corusant in Star Wars, there's only one spot on the entire planet where you can touch real ground, the rest is all one big city. Honestly it would probably be better to skip straight to Type 2 and use the materials in the Asteroid belt to make a Dyson Swarm.
@@channonikelman2041 revert to bacterial state and float for 1MM years until something gets colonized with us and then evolve back to human state again.
Its probably ideal to put the colony in a large cave of some sort, There should be less severe dust storms, and slightly less radiation, And the energy is likely coming from mainly Nuclear power as you suggested. General stability of weather from strong winds would also help keep the habitats intact. It might also reduce energy usage from heating slightly, from less wind in a deep cave
Little catch playing children in EVA suits on Mars, THAT will be hard. During failures on Earth mean blue eyes and grazes on the knees, on Mars failures mean their death! Settling on Mars means growing children there. In a closed narrow tube ;-). With many many switches and other very interesting stuff. Good luck, guys! ;-)
Oh god imagine being stuck in a confined space with someone else's little shit of a child. I would quite literally kick his ass into another galaxy. He'd get there eventually.
You wouldn't need windows on your radiation-protected Mars bases. Extremely HD cameras that point outside connected to large window looking monitors on the inside would do the trick.
The Russians had a similar idea of projecting the outside scenery onto TV screens on the inside of a Moon base. Plus, you don't even need to show the outside, you could show anything on the screen.
5:45 to fix the gravity problem, just put on weighted clothing that weighs twice as much as you when you're on Mars so you feel normal. No need to exercise constantly.

could create fake windows with a camera outside an a monitor inside. super easy barely an inconvenience
Come on, they could install tiny window-cleaners on the cameras too. Nevertheless, I think they should create an atmosphere with robots before sending any humans to live there. Colonizing Mars might sound cool, but at this point we could only send people to their deaths with no profit whatsoever. Humans are super-expensive to sustain on hostile planets.
Sending a group to set up atmosphere creating equipment then bringing them back would be the sensible first step.
...But when has humanity EVER been sensible? T-T
With a wider field of view and options like magnification and alternate wavelength cameras. Way better than a window

"Gruesome." Truth. EVERYTHING outside our terran atmosphere is there to slaughter us. We should send robots.
Correction: We *don't* actually have the technology to get to Mars, much less establish a colony there. There are still huge challenges, like spacecraft radiation shielding, extreme vision degradation/eventual blindness after 6 months in zero G, damage to body systems that involved fluid (again due to low/zero G), and many technical challenges in tech relating to airlocks, robotics, etc. We might have plausible ideas about how to tackle these problems, but you never *have* the technology until you actually have it.
The James Webb telescope is a perfect example: You could say we "had" the tech to build and launch the JWST in 1996 when the project began, but we did not, and ultimately it took 25 years and much, much more money than we planned for to make it happen.
tl;dr - There's a big difference between having ideas about how to do something and actually possessing the tech to do it.
if we really wanted to we could 100% do it today
@@HS-ig4ly Check out what NASA's Robert Frost has to say about this kind of claim. He's brutally honest about what it takes, even if money and manpower is not limited. The reality is some of these are really difficult problems to overcome. The eventual blindness, for example. Because we evolved on a planet with 1g, we have evolved in such a way that fluid behind our eyes pools at the bottom of sacs. When humans spend time in zero G, that fluid no longer pools and the shape of our eyes -- including the lenses -- literally deform, causing irreversible vision damage. How would you deal with that?
We learned about this problem from long-term ISS missions, which is *precisely* why we have the ISS in the first place: To learn about living -- or spending long amounts of time -- in space.
We need to build a moon base first and iron out all the problems we can in a "local" stage rehearsal for an eventual Mars colony. On the moon, help is only three days away and evacuation is a possibility, whereas if something goes wrong on Mars, the soonest we can get there is about 9 months, and that's only if there's perfect timing and an optimal launch window with relation to both planets' orbits.
Likewise, on the moon we can learn from our mistakes while we're still protected from radiation. En route to Mars and on Mars itself, we won't be.
If you want to make the claim that we could do it today, you need to explain how. The burden of proof is on you.
That's so true I'm retired and I just
started investing in these crypto

Tech tends not to appear until there is a demand. If there is a serious desire to go to mars, the tech needed will be invented. Thankfully, SpaceX doesn't work on NASA time schedules.

It warms the heart that even when humanity is flawed. Wars are still fought, politics and conflict but there are still people who look beyond themselves. We are capable of worse but we often forget we are also capable of being best.
Nicely said. Well put. I agree 100%.
As sapient beings, we are the only living things capable of 'true evil' , but also the only ones capable of 'true good'
I wonder what our primitive ancestors would think about what we've done. I wish I could tell them. Would they feel an unusual sense of pride in our development as a species? I mean, assuming they understandand that we're still the same species, how would they feel about the work of their distant, distant children?
They did this, for us. We're doing this, for them.

I doubt we’ll have field trips but def constant supply runs with faster rockets and some small cities on mars
6:55 This is false. Yes the optimum launch window only occurs every two years but it isn't the only window. The hohmann transfer method uses the least fuel but if there was an emergency there are other launch windows but we just couldn't carry as much cargo for the same sized rocket.
It's also the fastest by a long way (using chemical rockets) if it takes a 1 or 1.5 years travel time without the launch window you might as well just launch in the window and save all that extra provisions and weight
Human language please
@@Pixaurora Just play KSP with Real Solar System mod and try it yourself :)
If money wasn’t much an issue, could it technically be possible to have space stations spread around the orbital path that have cargo, crews, and emergency personal themselves to react in case of any emergencies on the planet? That way there’s always something within reasonable distance of the planet.
@Fresh Coconut it is optimum in that it uses the least amount of fuel but not optimum in time it takes to reach mars. The Hohmann transfer method has always been considered optimum because we have never had to prioritize time of arrival for any Martian endeavors. Yes the Hohmann transfer method uses the least amount of Delta-V by far but it only presents itself every 2 and a half years and takes 9 months to arrive. When a dire situation presents itself the command may sacrifice payload to achieve a better time of arrival. The video makes it seem like you can ONLY use the Hohmann transfer method which is false and is an understandable oversimplification to make. I watched the entire video and I love this channel I'm just pointing something out.
looking back at this animation in 2022 makes me realize how much work kurzgesagt has done in the past 3 years. This video is already pretty neat animation but the ones released in the following years are very noticibly better-crafted.

We're only so well suited for this planet because it's where we started as a species. We're kind of weak when you think about it. If only one thing in our complex biological system goes wrong, we die. On the bright side though, that makes life infinitely more valuable.
It's because it all our feeble minds can comprehend.
Actually microorganisms that live on Mars have their own way of living and need different resources so their a ok. On the other hand we have to use different machines to live there.

Well they'd pick candidates that are quite the opposite of what you see in movies. That's for certain. It's not hard to find people suitable for the task. It requires a very long process of mental evaluation, to weed out the weak minded people.

@@MNightbirb heh found you again
To me, an average guy, one of the biggest wonders is mankind is our continued unrealistic attitude about colonising space. We might be able to get a few astronauts to survive a several horrific years on the surface of Mars, but to what end? Given the completely inhospitable environment and the logistics in transportation of the sufficient quantity of materials from earth, a self-sustainable station on Mars to be used as a base for exploring further into space is completely unrealistic . Further, given the seemingly impossible complexities involved, the idea that Mars would be a better base than earth to launch missions elsewhere seems more fantastical still. I love my science-fiction, but when it comes to colonising Mars, and I would love to be proven wrong, but think we have confused fiction with reality.
It’s the journey. The problem solving involved with all the challenges faced make humankind more adaptable and resilient. Otherwise we stay on a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mantra and never learn about all the potentially better ways we could be doing things because we’ve never needed to deal with those kinds of problems before.
Same way our ancestors would never have believed it to be possible for humans to fly look at us now. A viable yet distant future would be to use genetic engineering with tools like CRISPR to modify humans to be adaptable to space
I get what are you saying, to my knowledge we still need to develop some key technologies and better defined plans, but when Kennedy gave the deadline for getting to the moon by humans, some scientists on the field believed to be pure fantasy(Not because it was theoretically impossible but precisely because there were too many practical challenges). And even thou the Moon Landing wouldn't have been possible without the astronomical(heh) amount of founding because of the Cold War, you always need the passionate scientist and engineers to make the advances that funding alone can't get you. And while you can say that we didn't gain anything from the moon landing, I'd say that is totally false because 1st, which is often pointed out, technologies developed for space are some of the more useful tech for us people down here on earth. But even more important than that imo, samples and rocks from the moon help us to understand how the earth was created, how the solar system was created and how the universe was created or, to some degree, how the universe works.
So I believe some of that discoveries will happen with Mars, even considering that we have been exploring and taking some samples for years now. And yeah, the way Mars can be a great base for further space explorations is something like when you make a travel in car with your destination 12hrs+ away. It would be nice to have more fuel and supplies somewhere on the way(I know you don't consume fuel on Space like on a place with constant gravity or atmosphere but still). Talking about that, the other reason is precisely Mars have noticeable less gravity than Earth and a super thin atmosphere, those are the kind of conditions make it way easier to launch rockets, the same reason why the moon could be a great exploration base too, the moon even having "easy" access to produce rocket fuel and water. And this bases shouldn't be rebundant either, with more infrastructure out there more versatile and fastest space exploration should be. Of course, even though all of this is true or possibly, it's theoretical for now but sometimes humanity makes big jumps between what is theoretical and practical, on the last century this happened very often. In fact, there are stories that sci-fi inspired future scientists to discover or explore those topics(maybe a silly example).
I think is obvious I'm all for colonizing Mars if possible, but I understand that it may be impossible now or forever. But Im sure the future astronauts will be some that understand the risks better than anyone, on the mission to Mars, because other than train like crazy is good to remember most astronauts have PhD in Physics or Engineering, so they should have the risks crystal clear compared to us.
@@cabo1656 thanks for your well written comment. I am opening to the idea that it could happen, but I really think we are so far away from a colony on Mars, a small, cramped base for a few brave astronauts perhaps, but they are very different things.
@@milinkerhe haha I admit I'm a bit of a dreamer for the potential science, that is why I like to study it(thou my major level of expertise is biology lol). But yeah, that it's why like to look back at different eras of great discoveries on knowledge from different cultures, and all of them put great importance on the knowledge it self on some way and/or on the people that created knowledge(a lot of different astronomical knowledge was created by astrologers or some form of shamans, that originally wanted to study the sky for predictions or religion). And well, we get the correlation that when we emphasize the importance of knowledge, knowledge is created exponentially, maybe is kinda obvious but I think is still important to keep on mind.
And about Mars, yes of course, to my understanding the more optimistic projections are that a colony would be in various decades and other stimates are 100+ years. I guess my point is that I want it to be missions to Mars as soon as possible because that is what make us improve, the technology and science(of course "ASAP" while mataining security standards, but it's always a risk being sloppy and the people in charge must be always vigilant). I mean I know there have been a lot of advances, but even then it's not secret that NASA has been on something like stagnation for many years. And without clear objectives or missions, the technology or science never will advance as fast as it could. In a more active environment, one never know what crazy technology can come out, but again I'm fully aware about the current projections just that there is way to better the chances and I personally believe that as soon as humanity hit milestone on Space its better for everyone, hopefully.
Ups, sorry for the long text, I think it's exciting talking about this stuff.

Type 1 is kinda lame. It means the mass extinction of all other life on the species home planet. Think Corusant in Star Wars, there's only one spot on the entire planet where you can touch real ground, the rest is all one big city. Honestly it would probably be better to skip straight to Type 2 and use the materials in the Asteroid belt to make a Dyson Swarm.

Its probably ideal to put the colony in a large cave of some sort, There should be less severe dust storms, and slightly less radiation,
And the energy is likely coming from mainly Nuclear power as you suggested.
General stability of weather from strong winds would also help keep the habitats intact.
It might also reduce energy usage from heating slightly, from less wind in a deep cave

You wouldn't need windows on your radiation-protected Mars bases. Extremely HD cameras that point outside connected to large window looking monitors on the inside would do the trick.
Spot on that would go a long way to keeping people sane
Good idea
The Russians had a similar idea of projecting the outside scenery onto TV screens on the inside of a Moon base. Plus, you don't even need to show the outside, you could show anything on the screen.
And to be honest there is nothing cool to look at in mars, it's all rocks and dust/sand
