The fact that you would sit with a pseudo scientist like the CEO of Mars One strips you of credibility.

@Dcrev 8 лет назад

I just find it curious how most people who criticize and shine doubt on potential opportunities don't take the time to fully do their research before they say something. If you're going to comment on something, at least say something constructive or informing or ask a question. Especially on a page such as NatGeo

mars is as realistically relevant as zombies. lets go jump another stupid bandwagon

I must have a Mars globe. That thing is sweet!

@arguescreamholler 8 лет назад

People will not be able to survive on Mars. Many more events that happen there that's not taken into account. The Best days only gets to 70°F and it's below freezing up to hundreds of degrees most of the time. It's stupid.

@MrFerrari458gto 8 лет назад

Do you not think they have taken that into account how do you think people in the space station survive in the same conditions.

@rapaladude 8 лет назад

Temperature control is a wonderful thing. Just like it can be below freezing out side on earth, it can be a comfortable 70 degrees inside. I think a more pressing issue is the radiation that will get through Mars' weak ass magnetosphere.

You are too old and too black to be on RU-vid.

@arguescreamholler 8 лет назад

INSTRUCT US The space station is not the same conditions. Far from it. How many dust storms are there in the space station? The space station still has some protection from cosmic rays although not all. Mars has none. If there's trouble the people In the station could come back to earth. You can't do that on Mars for at least a year and a half, two to three at the max.

@pierogiesAndKielbasa Год назад

I feel a sincere lack of prescience here. We need to learn to live on Mars because that is what we are turning the Earth into. People should've listened to Carl Sagan.

@quinto190 8 лет назад

Sure, they have a long way to go, but even it it doesn't work in the end: Worst case scenario is, that we end up with a nicely detailed plan for future missions! This has value in itself.

@vasantiago3038 4 года назад

Back to Mars in a nanosecond. . This time don’t lose the technology. . Why not spend that money for Earth instead. Of . Billions on Fake Mars landing.

@525Lines 8 лет назад

I would think solar panels or power delivered from satellite would provide power for heat and then just land where you have a chance of finding water which is the northern pole. With water you can make fuel, drinking water, water for exploration, crops, etc once you establish a base. Find enough water and you can even terraform, creating an atmosphere over time.

@MrFerrari458gto 8 лет назад

Creating an atmosphere would take tens of thousands of years you would have to pump super green house gases into the atmosphere for a long long time.

@rapaladude 8 лет назад

We would have to also somehow kickstart the planets near dead magnetosphere. Without that, any atmosphere that's created will be blown away by the first solar storm.

@525Lines 8 лет назад

+INSTRUCT US Or redirect a water-rich meteoroid into Mars.

@525Lines 8 лет назад

+rapaladude Good point. An electrical field might be artificially created to protect Mars from solar winds. Of course, this would all require technology we don't have yet but we can speculate that an artificial solution would be the easiest solution.

@MrFerrari458gto 8 лет назад

525Lines That would be very costly and risky. It would take many attempts and would make the surface of Mars uninhabitable for thousands of years I think the best option would be a force field of some sorts. Yes the technology is not there yet but at the rate things are going now it will be soon.

@morganjones2366 8 лет назад

First. Notice me..

@rapaladude 8 лет назад

What about bringing them back. I read that NASA won't let it happen unless we can bring them safely back. But I keep hearing it flip flop. Which is it? Permanently inhabit or come back in a year and a half.

@HectorRoldan 8 лет назад

I'm still waiting for orbital solar arrays that can beam energy to one another (or maybe an orbital battery platform) then beam it to devices (either in orbit or on surfaces) so that such technologies can assist in removing energy sources that aren't as long term. I temporarily quit my projects after Windows 10 assisted in the deletion of almost a terabyte of data that involved such things in digital form. (I wanted to get it in simulation form and refine design for prototype development...) Got set back again my trip to Canada ended prematurely (where I would be developing off world systems for space colonization) and now my motherboard fizzles 2 other hard drives... Seems the damage done at the border finally caught up to me.. If I do not see the science community advance on such things then hopefully I will be able to contribute once more~ Love this episode as I too hope to visit other planets and maybe even find a home elsewhere. Earth is nice and all but I'm an explorer and this planet, as huge as it is, will eventually run out of places to go :p

@chesterbesterfeild 8 лет назад

is it wrong that as soon as I hear an accent like that and see eyes bugging out like that I immediately think "delusional" ?

@daemoniumvenator7099 3 года назад

Yes it's wrong...he's a bit dumb....but an not accent and bugged eyes are not criteria for a delusional person.

too bad we can't colonies any planets or even go to real space

@sinan1909 8 лет назад

i dont understand...Why are people talking about living on mars. like, we would need a whole lot more than just potentially water being there to live on Mars permanently. honestly really silly idea imo.

@mnrvaprjct 8 лет назад

Not really, After we set up habitation units we could begin terrraforming...

@sinan1909 8 лет назад

@eroticmasterbaker 8 лет назад

Why not set up a living station on the moon first and see how that goes???? On Mars , a self contained living structure has to be created anyway. Do it on the moon first please.

@fredex8 7 лет назад

The two aren't really comparable and besides from the Moon being easier to reach and easier to return from it would probably be harder to have a self sustaining base there. Gravity is less than half that of Mars which poses greater health problems in the long term. It also means there's no chance of ever terraforming it to hold an atmosphere so ultimately it's never going to be a survivable environment outside of habitats whereas Mars potentially could be a long way down the road. The amount of water is lower than Mars and Lunar dust is toxic and corrosive which causes yet more problems. People will probably end up establishing bases on the Moon eventually to mine helium-3 for fusion reactors since the isotope is more common there than on Earth. Long term prospects of actually living there aren't as viable as Mars though. Establishing a base on the Moon just to test the viability for doing so on Mars would be an extremely expensive experiment with very different variables that ultimately probably wouldn't yield any more scientific insight that hasn't already been gleaned from self contained habitat experiments on Earth and of course the ISS.
