The Martian Equator is ideal for colonization for a number of reasons, but is generally devoid of one vital resource:
Water.
However, a huge subsurface glacier has been discovered in an ideal location for a SpaceX Colony. However, for some reason, NASA has never explored it!

Wouldn't these extremely deep valleys be pummelled by falling boulders? A rock can pick up a lot of momentum rolling down a 6 kilometer high cliff in near vacuum.
We will not be using solar power to colonize or sustain a mars colony,…the maintenance on the amount of solar to support a colon is prohibitive. nuclear is the only thing that makes since and the only power source that will support a colony.
Really you think a view of a big hole is worth going to Mars?????
Everyone has to have goal but that isn't one of mine.
On the solar stuff and the bog hole. How you making a 3-4 KM electrical lines down to the settlements?
Got to get the solar down to the people some how…..
Why not start a signature drive to get a probe sent to this region
Great info, keep us informed please. Cheers, Brian G from beautiful BC
Think what the average religious person would think if we found life on Mars (or some other place) and the general issues that would come up from that.
Ever think that maybe we don't talk about those past experiments from Mars that came back as positive for life because of how the general public of the world might have reacted? We wrote them off as "Can't be right" or "They were contaminated."
Not sayen that's why we haven't been to this location you're talking about. But it is something to think about in regard to why we seem to pass up what seems like one of the obvious choices.
What we want as space enthusiasts tends to not be what the general public wants. Most people don't care about space anymore.. "We should fix the problems on Earth first" seems to be the general idea these days sadly…
Odds are the scientists that have been on Mars for at least a couple of decades already are aware of this so-called new discovery. Makes us wonder if, or how many times our top secret space program ships have traveled there. Mars is less than a lightyear away so travel time would be just a few hours from Earth. The three 'starships' can travel 50 lightyears in 5 days. That's a pretty good clip. This begs the question, how many planets capable of supporting human life have they visited? There has simply got to be better choices than Mars. BTW, the last starship built was in 2003. Built by Americans with technical help from the alien species Tall Whites. Odds are not good that our government (even the presidents were/are unaware) will ever spill the beans about this 'beyond top secret' program. Rather than continuing to destroy our planet's atmosphere with fossil fuel pollutants, at least usher in whatever clean energy it is that the ships are using.
Slava Ukraini.
There are nuclear reactors in submarines . So time when we go there I don't think we'll be using solar panels!!!
I love how you put your videos together. The story unfolds and we just become more interested in the discovery as you reveal more facts on this discovery. I also really appreciate the references to your sources.
Even people who haven't really thought about Martian habitation before can't fail to have their mind's blown by this discovery in Noctis labyrinthus.
Thank you for this excellent video.
Dear Angry Astronaut, I am the scientist who led the team effort behind this finding. I want to thank you for featuring our story, and commend you for doing such an excellent and accurate job at describing our research and its potential significance. Thank you also for explaining the connection between the relict glacier and the landing site we've been proposing for humans (and robot scouts before them) in this region. All correct. I'm subscribing to your channel and am certain that many more will.
200 subscriptions to get to 100K! Will 100K the party be in the UK though?
I've been watching AA since he had 10K subscribers. So glad he's almost at 100K!
GOOOD.!!!
👏👏👏
Unfortunately you most likely will never get people out past earths magnetoshere. Unless you a foot of lead around your spacecraft. And that is just not logistically feasible. So either you come up with a new technology like shields in star trek or you hollow out an asteroid and convert it into a spaceship or you'll never survive the cosmic rays. Just sayin
Hey does anyone know the waters of mars episode from doctor who
OMG, they're calling them rivers and lava tubes and volcanoes… I miss Wal Thornhill r.i.p. lad, your amazing Electric Universe research was (mostly) in vain. 🙁
I have long been a proponent of using cliff faces as settlement sites.
They have the advantage of sheltering the colony from space debris and radiation, plus they offer a prebuilt protected space. A membrane could be stretched between two outcroppings, sealed and filled with air… then the cliff face tunneled into. The spoil used to create terraces, landscaping and some ground to soil for agriculture.
Valles Marineris as well as Hellas Basin are ideal locations for such an enterprise. The lower in elevation the less the pressure differential between the colony and the outside.
I look forward to a colonist drinking a refreshing glass of untreated Martian glacial water, becoming infected with an ancient brain-eating bacteria, initiating an inter-planetary zombie apocalypse, and providing plot material for a new barrage of Hollywood horror films.
If there's life on Mars, it's gotta be there. NASA should make this their top priority to explore this region as soon as physically possible
Ok, the point is clear: there is no one better qualified to be the first director of the Noctis Labyrinthus Tourism Agency than you. Halfway through, I frantically looked for the "book now" button. Great video, thank you!
3:40 The heat capacity outside is about 20 times lower in that thin, atmosphere , O.o15 kg/m³, heat to rise 50°C is: tent volume, times density times 50°C times specific heat capacity Cv of co². A normal sized tent can be heated with a 200 watt heater quickly.
Couldn't agree more Angry, spot on mate
When will it be within our technology to put a roof over the valley? Roof of clear fabric kept up with air pressure sort of cover?
The reason why we like you is because you cut the fat and just tell us what we want to know
Past a 100😊. Congratulations with the milestone Jordan🎉
I want to be excited by this discovery, but I despair that our corrupt government(s) are going to actively block any attempt to get off this rock and escape the Prison Planet they are creating here on Earth.
You sound way less angry than a couple years ago
is this a waterfall?

If this doesn't excite you then I don't know what will. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am so excited, and angry, about space and colonizing Mars. Excellent work.
U want to increase enthusiasm to Mars, plan to view……..the face of Mars!!!….There are also structure s that have sharp, straight ridges which resemble structures, made by??????¿…,..There have been suggestion s that the face region may be some site made by inhabitants of Mars !!!!….The face may have been some fhter,cassemblybor meeting center. The rectangular structure s may be support or habitation structures……let's go..!!!!!!
You can continue to paint a picture of Mars as easily inhabitable but water on the surface doe not make for an easy place to survive.
This guarantees we will be like Star Trek
Great! We just told a certain ambitious nation where to target and claim their territory/colony on Mars! I'm ANGRY!! 😂
Congratulations on the magic 100K subs. You deserve it.
Thank for showing those awesome mars features !
Dear Mr Angry, congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers, I've been following you for several years and I'm really pleased that you reached this milestone.
Your content really stands out; coverage of the European, especially UK space industry, along with taking the broader view, is very welcome.
Thank you so much, this was an especially interesting presentation.
The glacier top can only persist if it has mineral salts that are binding the water molecules from evaporating to the near-vacuum. Also, the glacier lake was probably covered by millennia of blown dust.
We will eventually be drilling into some muddy brine, no doubt.
Congratulations on your 100K subs!
Colonize? Nope. Very hostile planet. Gravity 1/3 of earth. Sci-Fi dreams.
The most we can hope for is short term explorations. Sorry about the facts.
Congrats on 100k subscribers! I have enjoyed your content over the past few years!
Congratulations on 100K, Jordan! It’s so great that the scientist wrote to you.
Nice job with the subs and keep up the great videos thank you.
That's where we set up one of Elon's boring machines. The ground temperature should be several degrees higher near the bottom of these canyons once we bore a tunnel. The difference in temperature can operate a Sterling engine generator to provide electricity. The colony belongs underground. Protected and warmer with higher atmospheric pressure.
The depths below mean ground level could possibly make the region a very good dust trap.
OK, got that out of the way. I have always thought that Vallus Marineris was one of the two best places on Mars for all the reasons you point out. Olympus Mons is the other. Read a story once about Olympus Mons being a space port. Struck me as a great idea. No, or at least VERY little, atmospheric entry. It's summit is very lose to being out of the atmosphere in open space.
Excellent épisode!
