To survive Mars, the human species will need to evolve in extraordinary ways. Will we need our genes to evolve as well? Humans may be on the cusp of reaching the red planet, but how did we get to this point? The journey to our neighbor traces a path connecting Nikola Tesla, Nazi weapons of war, a Cold War space race, and a string of blockbuster discoveries made by some of NASA’s most talented robots. And while science may soon make the dream of traveling to Mars a reality, how will we live once we get there? How will we manage our basic human needs of food, water, and shelter on a planet known for its barren surface conditions, high radiation levels, and toxic dirt? And as future humans leave Earth to colonize Mars, and begin to begin to adapt to life on another planet… scientists are already predicting a series of changes to our own species…

So, with only about 1 percent of earth atmospheric pressure Mars is no good, so pressure increases as we go deeper into a deep hole, crater, valley etc. so how far down into Mars would we have to dig a giant hole before the atmospheric pressure increased ENOUGH so that liquid water hung around AND so that humans could walk around wearing not a space suit but a gas mask providing oxygen…
Short answer. No.
I have absolutely ZERO doubt that mankind will terraform Mars. We won't be able to stop ourselves, it's in our nature, we covered the globe probably before we could write. I just hope we don't get all pissy and turn it into a wild west all about knocking each other off just to get a bit of land and say "Mine!"..when we should all be working together and saying "mine….that bit other there it's full of resources like water ice and CO2 , just what we need to sustain our new base"..Some of the technology is already invented, Zubrin has figured out how to make oxygen, rocket fuel from the dry ice and the atmosphere. Mars has/ had complex geology so there will be deposits of all kinds of ores that will be crucial for building and sustaining a permanent home there. We of course will never see it, but, I know that one day, people will be walking on that red dust without a pressure suit, without a respirator, without a care in the Mars…
The only environmental factor that might affect evolution would be the low gravity. Why? Because humans will create an Earthlike living environment in all other respects. No humans will be birthing offspring into a 20-below, unsheilded near-vacuum, hoping some have the genetic abnormalities that might let them survive. (And if they did, they'd have to be left outside, because otherwise the interior atmosphere would kill them!)
Although it is essential that we grows plants on Mars, I wonder if we could use catalytic technology to synthesize some of the basic human nutrient requirements, like sugars for instance. We will no doubt have to process the martian soil to leech out perchlorates, maybe using martian water and distillation to remove those toxins. Or perhaps we could use solar powered electrolysis to oxidize the perchlorates into water and chloride. We have already come up with a variety of ingenious ways of increasing the martian atmospheric pressure. Whatever method we ultimately use it's highly unlikely that it will be a copy of Earth's atmosphere. The lack of an iron core dynamo generating a magnetic field will be a challenge, and must be overcome , it might be achieved by placing a satellite in a geostationary orbit between the Sun and Mars, with a solar or nuclear powered electromagnetic field generator, basically an array of conductive cables deployed and maintained by drones on the size scale of tens of kilometers, maintaining cold temperatures enabling superconductivity should be easier in space, thereby enabling powerful electromagnetic fields that deflect the solar wind from targeting Mars, the very thing that was the cause of stripping the atmosphere down to it's current state..
Why do these science shows only interview women?
4 out of 5 scientists are men, yet they virtually ONLY allow women on these shows…
Your Video Quality is Good But You are not gatting more views because of these SEO Problem , if you want I can fixs Problem.
Short answer: No. There is a laundry list of problems, technological, physiological and psychological that are far beyond our ability to solve, at least for the foreseeable future. It is an exciting pipe dream. Don't hold your breath.
If a catastrophic event happened on Earth properly we would survive on Mars planet in future. In chemistry like dissolve like…. Lots of love for a precise documentary… ❤❤
Probably won't be any redheads on Mars 🙁
I can never leave Earth until they let me smoke on the ship..
❤
Konstantin Tsialkovsky envisioned all this, a Russian rural school teacher.
NOT GONNA LIE THE FUCKING POLITICAL ADS WHILE I TRY TO SLEEP ARE REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING
In the words of Shrek – "What a load of crap".
did she say we were intelligent? lmao what a joke
after all the preparation to live on mars, the next thing we have to do is to find psychologically stable lonely engineers, scientists and survival experts that willing to die on mars
Tell em their dreaming…
Basically "God" made earth and others objects in solar system… Then he kicked back and watched what we got up to and thought … Fuck no – they'll destroy everything… I'm out.
1.8 million subs but average 30k views per video
strange
For the simple prospect of being a pioneer and doing something different with life, I'd volunteer to go
Only if Elon goes first. He can fix it. Send him there alone for a few years and everything will be perfect.
Yes, there are people surviving on Mars right now. They’re underground in sealed volcanic tubes . But it’s TOP SECRET SO DONT TELL ANYONE I TOLD YOU. Just like aliens are surviving on earth deep underground and deep in our oceans. We only have 100 years of evidence for proof of it. More than enough to convince anybody in a court of law.
No planet is made for humans, humans are made for this planet.
“mars is like our cold little sister”
MEGAN
From the very beginning, this video is wrong. NASA and their SLS will not get us to mars.
You pronounce my grandads name Brown not braun 😢
we cannot even survive on this piece of rock so who cares about mars oh some idiots
The music is way too loud tbh
A 3 mush room house?
what is the year this was made?
Fungus blocks? That’s ridiculous. It’s not strong show me one concrete or masonry block you can easily cut with a hacksaw
NASA is a worthless organization all but talking and wasting taxpayer money!!! President Trumo will shut this criminal down and give money to Elon Musk!!! All but idiots so-called rocket scientist!!! All BS doing nothing… the Chinese will get MARS and own the MARS way before US with this criminal organization; all but lousy and BD
Blah blah blah all but wasting taxpayer money!!! Elon Musk would do all this with fraction of the cost;; all but BS…. This NASA Agency should be dismantled immediately
I guess SpaceX is a saver bet.
Easier to save the earth. 😂
No magnetosphere? No problem!
》im fine here on Earth Thank you very much!
Most of earth would be completely uninhabitable without technology so yeah of course we can survive on mars, it’s just a matter of utilising our technology.
Terrible idea. They will all be begging to come home after 1 week. Their tight living quarters will have a continual smell of sewage, just like in the space station.
Youtube has sold itself to AI. Aint nothing real on this platform anymore
Hey man let’s go to mars,I think we’re all ready there dude,pass that spliff man
Seems fairly obvious to me. Dig below the surface to escape the radiation and discover stuff then cover the surface in wind farms. Grow stuff using hydroponics and use water recycling that astronauts already use. Then put the kettle on.
That huge money use/spent to rescue the people on earth please!! 🙏
no planet can replace EARTH!!! just make EARTH MORE BETTER AND LIVEABLE instead of spending or wasting millions or even billions dollars to MARS,
😂😂😂mars expedition the most stupidest endevour😂😂😂
Whan, it comes down to it only two hurdles are in the way. One, technology to sustain life on Mars and we are close to that. A Moon base will absolutely help with this. The last one is people willing to go and this must fall to the individuals. No one ells should have the right to tell others they can't go. If you're that determined, then sign the forms and God Speed. As for cross contamination BS that boat sailed Billions of years ago. The entire universe has been swapping spit for longer than our puny little galaxy has even been around so cross contamination is beyond stopping. We might even be aliens to Earth. So, get over yourselves and realize that LIFE is the be all and end all of existence. Helping it thrive and flourish as long as we do so with ethical and moral intent Must be the goal, (No feeding other humans to hostel aliens) or we as a species will join the billions of others that every year will fizzle out of existence due to some cosmic happening or simple natural selection. Like them humanity could simply disappear without a trace.
