Mars is the home to Utopia Planitia which produces the most of Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets’ Starships. It also houses several other cities such as Ares and has had a history as long as Earth’s.

How did you get free-roam access to the Mars orbital map? That CERTAINLY doesn't look like a mission or TFO!
Additionally, Star Trek Picard never happened, so you can safely ignore all of that in your lore videos. If prior statements by characters in-universe are in fact true, such as certain lines by Ambassador Spock in the Kelvin timeline movies, then regardless of what the out-of-universe people say, Star Trek Picard is an errant timeline, an aberration that is separate to what actually happens, similar to the aforementioned Kelvin Timeline.
It will be corrected at the end of Star Trek Picard's run, removing it from canon and rendering stuff like the Mars attack by the Synths, non-existent as well.
👏 Thank you…
The romulan and federation fleets would have been able to relocate all concerned by the time the 1st batch of ships were being bilt… writers ahhh
What is producing oxygen? What about a viable magnetic field to protect it from the sun? How does adding meteorite water produce an atmosphere? Did they just “replicate” it or something? How does an atmosphere freaking burn?
What I don't understand is why they don't have a shipyard around every star the UFP inhabit.
Are these clips showing the Odyssey Class flight above Mars from a video game?
I wonder will it at least be mentioned in Discovery, that by the 32nd century it has recovered.
So technically Mars was Vulcanformed🤔🖖
There's gotta be commercial agriculture in federation. The replicators don't make anything out of nothing, the replication system draws from a supply of common or basic foodstuffs to produce meals and this is supplemented by recycling or even utilizing basic commercial ingredients like soylent green on deep space missions. Besides not even rearranging the molecular structure of something like broccoli could produce a good steak.
Oh you can go to mars now in Star Trek online? About time…. I stoped playing like 3 years ago it got very repetitive
It would be interesting to see a deep dive into the future history of Augments and human genetic engineering in general. The descendents of Augments are a interesting issue, how successfully do Augment enhancements pass down to descendants? Does a individual need to have their own DNA personally optimised to get the full benefits of superhuman abilities, or will just having both parents be Augments mean that you yourself will be a Augment? Is it just the changes in the basic human template that does it, or does it have to be individually tweaked to get the 'boost' just right? There are failed Augments that only have some enhancements [Enterprise; the outcast with super hearing but otherwise a baseline Human]
And would they have the same flaws in their design of increased aggression and a tendency towards megalomania, or was that programmed and customised in each original embryo. And considering Vulcan stewardship, would Vulcan mental techniques allow a Augment to be "sane".
[note, I haven't seen Strange New Worlds yet, just a scene where Number One is 'outed'. Also of course there's the big issue of the TNG episode with the engineered children who's immune systems caused accelerated aging in Humans, including Dr Pulaski].
Could it well be that some small percentage of Augment ancestry still provides a bit of benifit, and that many later legends of Starfleet have a Augment on their family tree and that helps explain how come they're so talented.
A option never explored; With Human genetic engineering (except for medical correction) being banned within the Federation … what about Human groups that leave the Federation?
Could a independent colony be set up and they don't make the same mistake that produced Khan, but instead make super Julian Bashirs as their baseline – ethical superhumans.
A question never really answered, is there something in the basic human DNA that allowed vast improvements to be made? Other species use genetic engineering, so how come they aren't equally 'boosted' and equal to a Augment [actually a lot better, 24th century genetic engineering should be a lot more advanced than 21st century pre contact Earth genetic engineering]. There's beta canon about Catlins having had Eugenics Wars in their past that mirror what Humanity went through, but that's just a entry under their species wiki.
It's a deep topic, with a lot of contradictions and retcons.
Although as a survivor of the horrors of the Eugenic wars in the 1990's I can tell those readers who are under 30 that it's still a sensitive topic for many people.
The destruction of Mars must have been such a brain drain on Starfleet engineering.
Venus would be a prominent Planet in Star Trek. With Starfleet technology it would be possible to terraform, it's theoretically possible with our near future technology, the big issue is the extra atmosphere.
That wouldn't be a problem for a Star Trek Earth, it could even be a resource and be transported to Mars via a variety of methods (could a long range cargo transporter reach that far? A continuous cycle, or even a series of stations. And then there's tractor beam set ups).
Venus might even be a better candidate for terraforming in the possible final results.
And it would be of benifit for the Federation to have several different biomes within the Sol system, if there are prominent species that don't find the average Earth conditions comfortable.
A hot tropical Venus (as was imagined in early sci-fi) might be nice for a bunch of species that find Earth dry and cold and can only live on the equator on Earth.
Then again Venus could be made a garden World from the Human perspective.
"Romulan Evacuation Ships"…….sheer fucking hubris on behalf of the Federation. Romulans, aka Romulan Star EMPIRE, doesn't need federation help to "evacuate". They have plenty of ships of their own, and plenty of shipbuilding capability outside of their home system. Goody two shoes federation can piss off.
I think of Utopia Planitia as more the orbital facilities than the ground facilities, so the space stations over Utopia Planitia may have been established before the ground side colony.
You did an excellent job in this video!!!! Completely consistent and believable history arc.
Personally I think this is one of the best you made. 😁
What would actually make a great video is that of speculation on if another alien species had made first contact with Earth, instead of the vulcans, such as Andorians or even the Bajorans and how history might have played out, either similarly or vastly different.
Thank you again Rick for the informitive video.
I have noticed: The west part of our galaxy is still not explored yet, isnt it? Withoin the Alpha-Quadrant
It's likely that Utopia Planitia was founded prior to colonization because it's easier to set up space and orbital infrastructure than planetary stuff; it could have served as a hub for most of the early colonists that would head down to the surface in shifts until it was suited for permanent habitation.
Contradiction: 143 million inhabitants, but all major cities were attacked and the atmosphere ignited. Yeah, that totally sounds like "only" 90k death would be the result of such a devastating attack. NuTrek simply sucks.
Connie Defiant or Defiant class Defiant?
