Mars is a disappointing hellhole lacking practically everything we need to stay alive. It looks like we’ll only ever have small crews spend a miserable time hidden underground. Except, we could terraform it into a green new world. But to solve the planet’s problems, we first need to make it worse and turn it into oceans of lava with gigantic lasers.
This video was animated with help from our friends at Thought Cafe. Check out their Video "Could We Live on Mars?" here: • Can You Survive On Mars?

And most important (imo), this is the only 100% human-habitable planet we have. It's the only world in the entire universe that's completely ideal for us to live on, right out of the box. Other planets won't have our biosphere, even if they're perfect in every other respect, so we need to learn how Earth works before we can build those features into other worlds.

@@Kevin_Street I will not presume to make any inference about the entire universe, which we have observed less than a fraction of a percentage of.

@Terminator484 Год назад

Total mirror area is that big, not each individual mirror. A swarm of smaller mirrors will accomplish the same task. This scale is piecemeal once you start scaling up automated space manufacturing to the point where you're around 0.1% of the manufacturing base needed to build a proper Dyson Swarm. Send a factory that can build copies of itself and robotic mining stations and mirror factories to the asteroid belt, and direct the geometric growth of your space industrial infrastructure from home. Even better, after these factories make the mirrors and lasers to terraform Mars, they can keep making mirrors to get started on that Dyson Swarm.

@@KRYMauL They cannot, you're just falling for the Marvel effect that Elon Musk is selling you, and thinking humanity is more advanced than it is. Let me reiterate. We need a laser twice as powerful as the best one we have today, and more importantly it must run continuously, not for 0.000,000,000,001 second. We need 10,000,000 square kilometers worth of mirrors to power that laser. We need to get to Titan, set up a factory, and a launching site with mass drivers. We need a huge space station with a current moved in Mars' L1 point. Meanwhile 8% of our rocket launches last year (mostly to Low Earth Orbit, not doing never-before-seen things) failed. We'll probably set foot on Mars in a decade or two, maybe even a small base, but I'd be shocked to see even so much as a Mars city in my lifetime.
