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.

To be honest, I don’t think people will just throw normal Earth species on Mars, they would wait for new species to evolve with bacteria already being there.
Not mosquitos XD
As long as they don't use cockroaches, I will be happy
You can't you can't replace mother nature on any scale and for you guys even be posting videos like this with these crazy hypothesis it would take millions of years okay so get a grip quit posting this fake stuff that you guys love to put up here to get people thinking the things that are not true I mean false information is the worst information that you can be giving people
I think this is the positive side of Earth's anthromorophic climate change. If we understand how to control a climate, we can make a habitable one on Mars from scratch. One thing though, the order of KGS's planning needs to be modified, with the Magnetosphere being put in place first and thoroughly tested before any further steps are taken. If there are issues with the artificial Magnetosphere, they need to be ironed out first. Then we can proceed with the rest from step one to step two.
“A disappointing hellhole lacking practically everything we need to stay alive” this is what I experienced visiting the midwest
Without a molten Iron core to produce a magnetosphere you are just wasting your time terraforming Mars.
This is just me playing Space Exploration in Factorio XD
how do you get the correct pressure in the atmosphere given that mars has lower gravity, and how does that lower gravity affect animals?, im guessing its not good
“Not mosquitoes tho” that was some facts
like in 100 years. Could also do a series on it for different possibilities.
Imagine the capability of a civilization that's merely 10000 years ahead of us.
Now after we've laid down some algae we can put down some hardy organic life like cockroaches. And within 500 years after Terraforming the roaches will be taller than most humans and will be one the singular most terrifying things in space you can think of.
Glassing planets to make them habitable is truly big brain time.
“Greenhouse gasses” are a pseudoscientific concept. Mars already has 97% “Greenhouse gasses” and 30 times more “Greenhouse gasses” per unit of surface area than earth. The reason it’s cold is because the atmosphere is too thin. It would warm up a fair bit simply by making the atmosphere as thick as Earth’s. If you want to make it as hot as Venus, simply make Mars’s atmosphere as thick as that of Venus. Venus has 92 time more atmosphere than Earth. Mars has 100 times less atmosphere than Earth. Both Venus and Mars have an atmosphere that is 97% Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Earth’s atmosphere is 0.04% CO2 and has no effect on Earth’s Temperature.
Hmmm, what could go wrong? Blowing up a planet close to home… sounds very humanlike.
Mars is a dead planet, its core energy exhausted. Civilizations once thrived there aeons ago but you cannot revive it now. Humans can make bases there for travels beyond the asteroid belt. But making Mars a home, nope.
It's funny how we look at going to another planet to colonize as we destroy the planet that has given us life. My question is why don't we use these resources to fix what is being destroyed daily by the greedy corporation and the consumers ever need for more?
The biggest challenge is building several death rays and using them for peace
Instead of using pyrex batch reactor or scaling it up to industrial reactor, Kurzgesagt skip a few steps and use a freaking MARS as reactor
My man wants us to create a Death Star.
As far as I remember Mars doesn't have a magnetic field because of the impact of an enormous asteroid, which stopped the core from moving and inducing a magnetic field.
even if it was possible it would hundred of millions of years , if not billions, the water stored underground would all be seriously contaminated
That making of rivers with lasers was so dope.
It would be so awesome if they start digging around on Mars and find some fossils and stuff can't wait
