Mars: Life on the Red Planet | BBC Earth Science



Some of this footage was filmed before 2024, and was correct at the time of filming

Mars is one of our closest neighbours, the fourth planet from the Sun, with only robotic explorers having explored this alien landscape. As the subject of sci-fi films and chart-topping songs alike, come on a journey with us to explore the mystery of Mars.

  1. Just for the record. Mars could never support life. The planet is too far from the Sun to receive enough energy for life to thrive. Also, Mars is to small and would never be able to generate enough gravity to hold a thick atmosphere like Earth.

  2. A computer, using gravity, sends matter in the form of atoms, to form Earth. Shields surround our planet for protection. Other planets are not as important because Earth was targeted to be the only life in the universe.

  3. This video is trash and is a stain on BBC Earth’s credibility. For one, don’t make videos that talk down to your audience. Your target demographic are not children 🤦‍♂️ You don’t need some Dwayne Johnson reference to demonstrate that Mars has ~35% of earth’s gravity. Just absolute trash

  4. The ‘evidence for water’ on Mars could just as easily have been formed over the eons by very fine dust, which, under Martian conditions, can behave like a fluid.

  5. Before we start colonizing off planet we need to come together as species. We need to end war and hostility, see ourselves as Earthlings first and stop fighting over borders and culture. IF there are other sentient life that we will meet we need to be united as a species or fail.

  6. Despite optimistic predictions, It's probable that we're 100 years away from putting humans on Mars. And I mean just getting them there alive. Not living there.

  7. The technology we will invent in the process of going to Mars, will in-turn benefit Earth.
    These "what about earth" people need to understand that the tippity top of each science needs these big projects and dreams, to go that extra yard. Life can't be just about surviving. Remember much of the modern technology we have now is because of the space race, to the moon.
