How Are We Going To Survive On Mars? | Spark 

We havent even been back to the moon.😅

For the suit, whichever one gets selected, I strongly recommend Alon®Transparent Aluminum for the face shield glass. Alon is Aluminum Oxynitride (ALN-AL2O3) An inch of it will stop multiple 50 caliber armor-piercing rounds, so you can imagine how nice and rugged it would be for a simple stumble against a rock on Mars. Expensive, but worth it!

Mars has 38% the gravity of Earth. Our cardiovascular systems need 1 G in order to function properly without atrophying. Until someone figures out how to increase gravity then I don't see how it's possible to live on Mars.

We? Shiiii. Thats a you thing.

That will never happen !

Robotics can survive on Mars and build out a Mars colony for humans. This is more realistic than sending humans to build a colony.

We can’t even find clean water in Michigan let alone another planet.

Low gravity is the least of the problems. Soil for agriculture would have to be sourced locally. Unfortunately, the regolith contains enormous amounts of perchlorates, which are impossible to separate and toxic to life, human and plant. Suitable food crops would have to be designed to be tolerant of these chemicals and to exclude them from the portions designed to be eaten.

We have to get there without dying in a massive explosion first. I'll wait until that minor detail is a thing.

Might be better to send Mice to Mars they're compact resourceful the 2 year lifespan is perfect since it coincides with the transit period from mars to earth. They will become immortalised as the pioneers of the new frontier.

Just surviving the journey from radiation etc to land on a planet uninhabitable. Also Long-term spaceflight can cause lasting changes to the brains and eyes of astronauts Ranging from a significant increase in brain volume to pituitary gland deformation, the hazards of long-term spaceflight should not be underestimated. They be half blind by the time they get back to earth.

Go to Mars they say.... lots of ice they say... great goin Steve

When is somebody gonna build a little brush thingy that will sweep off the solar cells when needed ???

Excellent and imminently enjoyable.

Background noise/music is too loud louder at times than narration!

Take a lot of Cadbury's Mars Bars

Charlie's coronation suit........ Don't worry wearing this u can get to anywhere on the universe

We aren't. Total waste.

Earth will be good for next millions years

They will have to build subterranean housing to conserve energy. Some of the infrastructure such as greenhouses will be above ground.

30:21 Seems like that sky safari / pluto safari music exists in stereo. Name of song / artist? Shazam only gives me some meditations that used the mono version of that song in the background. And why are there two songs playing at the same time... 🤪

Why is this video talking about Mars 2020 like it is the future. Perseverance and Ingenuity have been on Mars for two years now.

Dry soils! 🌐

9:58 ''....dot point....'' ?

I'm still waiting to hear the remedy for cardiovascular and vision damage... The elephant in the room no one wants to talk about apparently.

Too much background music, I need a relaxing narrator voice to sleep

living there

How indeed.

I'm up for micehab. How do I qualify?

"adapt or leave" I think we are suppose to stay right where we are, not go experiment lunatic behaviors 😂

The last time I was there they was out of everything but gravy an noodles.

We aren't. Tech needed to do that in a way that makes any sense is still hundreds of years away. We can't even transport living humans through Van Allen belt yet.

It's a good documentary for an 8 year old

What will be necessary is centrifugal 1G spaceports on orbit to preserve the health of long term residents..... There will be limits to how long on surface presence will be possible in the lower gravity..... In my opinion...... :)

The should let mars gooo

Can humans survive on Mars without killing each other?

Even though the Ice House looks to be the most radiation protective design, it also seems to be a giant sail and with all the high winds on Mars, I don't see it lasting very long. It needs to have a flatter dome and closer to the ground, so the it will be stable in the Martian winds.

Away from earths news has to be better then human molds& behaviors for hours set like a human

How Are We Going To Survive On Earth? Or is the Answer?: How Are We Going To Survive On Mars?

Conquer the planet, you said. ? ??

I cannot take it seriously that they wish to live on the surface from the start. Sure a few structures makes sense. Read minimal. The initial colony should be a compact structure, close (maybe slightly larger) to minimum viable size, to eventually serve as access to the surface, initially short term living space, but they should be equipped and trained to expand. Downwards. As rapidly as possible. Once entrenched with the beginnings of larger industry ever more surface development could of course occur. Surface living space is a much more challenging endeavour than going subterranean. Definitely on Mars. Building what are basically chalets on the surface from the start just seems impractical and even whimsical to me. Focus initial surface development on stuff that need to be there, or can weather it. Tuck the fleshy meat bags away safely. And yeah ice domes will be covered in dust in short order. Permanently transparent ice domes are pure fantasy. Look at the rovers.

Might take longer than planned but, I think it'll get done. I'm 66 and sure won't be around to see it. Except of course some supernatural even!! 🙂

I'd say the clouds of Venus have become infinitely more attractive for a potential Human settlement than Mars will ever be based on the technology we currently have or reasonably could have in the near future to make an off-Earth/Moon settlement feasible. The launch window for Mars is too infrequent; the transit times are far too long; Mars' gravity is much too weak for Human Beings; Mars is completely irradiated with no magnetosphere or dense enough atmosphere to provide any shielding, requiring habitats to be heavily shielded either by burrowing underground or bringing prefabricated radiation shielding from Earth along with. Mars is covered in its own regolith not unlike the moon except it has large dust storms that blanket the entire planet reducing access to overall solar power beyond the reduction due to Mars' overall distance further out from the Sun...(?) & That doesn't even take into consideration the losses of entire missions Humanity has collectively experienced in the pursuit of studying Mars -- the Soviet Union struggled with Mars so much, they eventually accused the United States of sabotage. The US has lost projects sent to Mars. Even Elon missed trying to put a Tesla into Mars orbit! Venus, however, is right there -- our sister planet! Sure, on first appearances she's ugly as sin, but we've mostly always been looking from the wrong angle. But if you look at the atmosphere, you find the most Earth-like conditions that we know of (except on Earth) in the entire solar system. Mars is an irradiated dusty cold wasteland; Venus has the most Earth-like conditions that we know of in the SS...(?) Why is Mars even being considered...?!! We should re-orient all efforts to focus on Venus & not Mars ASAP!!

I’ll go bro

7:03 Can anyone corraborate this? I heard she came through the window. Is this true?

7:25 ... no

Mars might be better as a planet to mine instead of living there.

Dr Dent astrophysicist Rocketeledyne owner is one volunteer for the Mars missions. On by in my

This is great and excellent work on a difficult and challenging technological exploration of another habitable planet. Another possible exploration on some of the satellites belonging to the large planets like Jupiter's, Saturn's etc.may probably be more weather friendly as well as habitable for well designed robotic instruments for exploration and mining suitable metals, and industrial minerals useful for advancement of the poor and intelligent but poor and common human beings of all the struggling population on the unique and fantastically intelligent and struggling bravely against the exploitation and miserable imposition of unhealthy and establishment of unjustified and cruelly exploitation of a larger, population which is honestly hard working and trying to build up a society based on the principles of high moral and humanistically compassionate and proper humane values and based on establishment of proper laws of justice, compassion, humanistic principles as establishment of legal properly humane and completey based on the criteria established by the saints, photographers, and great saints and compassionate great saints who always tried to establish a framework which is based on kindness, social security and deep commitment to proper values of justice exploration and extracting valuable principles of humanity. 😊😊

Let’s be real, if we can’t figure out a way to eliminate radioactive Tritium from our own waters and storm clouds from nuclear power plants, the living in mars will be a very hard job to accomplish.

Until they fix the health problems of long term space flight like what the astronaut stranded on the ISS suffered ots a waste of money and life

The only way to colonise Mars is remotely or advanced AI

What the difference between marketing a dream and bury a dream. The first is Dream X and the second are the deadly radiations from space.😢

Humans cannot get along with each other earth and continually destroy it, along with the animals and plants, now they wanna mess up mars and send discontent there 😂!

Dead Core. Not going to happen. At least with the technology (released/public/non-classified) known. 😉🕊️

No need to go you will see earth like mars soon..

One question is: How are they going to dispose of dead bodies?

Instead of spending billions of dollars on Mars and waste a lot of precious time to renovate this red planet and say, "We don't have much time", why not just spend billions of dollars for saving this precious planet while we have a chance??

It will be better off if we don’t find life. It will make it much easier to justifying introducing life that we bring to it than having to try and protect life that was already there and risking it being destroyed by what we bring.

Who will pay the several trillion of dollars bill, may I ask?

If microbes or any Martian bacteria exists, would human colonists permanently have to live in their spacesuits?

we won’t.

This whole outter-colony idea is only a terrible concept, no pun intended.

No magnetic field. No chance of any meaningful life there.

Our retinas are damaged/ destroyed by weightlessness. Until we can solve that, space flight is verboten. Even moon flights are problematic, right now.

We will NEVER colonise space... .

Location and geology is the key for successful settlements. A solid mass of stone with no fracture would be ideal. The top of the dome ( small mountain ) should house your forest and some farming. The structure lower should be for habitation. The next lower structure should be for manufacturing. The next structure ground level should be for bringing in metal ores, sands for glass, water, and clays. Another hill nearby and also occupied should have mirrors to beam in additional light for heat and energy. All of this will have underground roads, rails, or ski lifts.

We can just refer to the movie “The Martian” with Matt Damon. 😶

Before going survive on Mars why don't tell us how to survive on earth 1st.

We are NOT going to Mars for a very long time, if ever!

Gonna die on mars. 1 week. Radiation poisoning

What kind of Government will they have ?

How you are going to survive on Mars.

Looked really interesting, however not even a minute into it advertising ruined it,,I learned more about door bell camera's,so I just turned it off

At the west end of Valles Marineris is a feature called Noctis Labyrinthus, which is in the heart of the Tharsus region. The coordinates are 7°S, 93°W. There is a water ice glacier there which contains 36 billion tons or 8.7 trillion gallons of H2O, or just a bit larger than Lake Meade at the Hoover Dam near Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The canyon floor is 4.35 miles deep, which provides twice the atmospheric pressure: 12.4 millibars, compared to 6.1 millibars at the datum level. The 3.75mi/6km high canyon walls also provide very good protection from cosmic radiation. Noctis will enjoy a relatively mild climate, as it is only 7 degrees south of the equator (258 miles).

We aren't.

Definitely no fun things to do outside.too dangerous, might rip your spacesuit maybe walking or telescope til u run out of air.

Sort out the gravity and radiation problem. Hold my beer till then😂😂😂

Why anybody would want to try and live in such an alien hostile environment seems patently absurd.

Cant contain our own affairs,,,why venture out of our own affairs

Impossible to even go there not talking about surviving 😂non sense subject good to fall asleep only😂😂😂

Old info not upto date. 2020 lander has been on Mars

Simple, we are not

If we can terraform mars, we can terraform earth first!

Who is we?

NASA worker's want more money for large retirement checks.

We wont, the end.

Why hasn't someone been sent to mars already? They would be so famous!

We're not going anywhere.. lets hope the next civilization makes it

Q: "How are we going to survive on Mars?" A: We're not going to. It's a death trap, Elon Musk's fever dream.

They should just have fatter astronauts to increase gravity lol

First, we need to learn how to survive of Earth!

Humans will not survive the long trek to Mars. Suicide mission just like STS Challenger. Ionizing radiation. 😳

stay on earth

Why do people ruin their video with music?

Nobody is going to Mars, Musk is full of hot air.

How are we going to survive on Mars? Simple..We aren’t

Mars would be a death sentence! So far, all we have accomplished to do is polluting Mars with your junk.
