40 SpaceX Starships are terraforming Mars. Slowly transforming the Martian atmosphere, water begins to flow on the surface. Building the foundation for long term Mars colonization.
Going beyond the ‘First 10,000 Days on Mars’ and 2050, this is a timelapse look into the future.
Humans are surviving on Mars underground, in a crater habitat. A deep crater is enclosed, creating a mini Earth that is open and breathable. Tunnel diggers dig into the sides of the crater, creating more space and connecting other craters, landing pads, and lava tubes to form an underground Mars colony network..

Lol twin nuclear suns this is daft
This theory would not work for 2 reasons. One is Mars is too far from the sun to have an atmosphere that could hold water in primarily liquid form unless it was really dense… and there is no why Mars will have a significant atmosphere because it lacks a magnetosphere so solar winds will strip most of the atmosphere away. Even if there was an atmosphere and a magnetosphere it is unlikely that humans could survive there long term because of the much lower gravity at 39% of Earth's gravity. I think at most we will have a research station on Mars holding maybe 10-50 people tops and they would have to rotate out every 18 months or so. It would also likely take decades to establish the infrastructure and buildings there for them to survive. I think Elon's quest for Mars is a fool's game. Same thing with a colony on the Moon. The lack of atmosphere and magnetosphere means they need 16 feet of soil as a radiation barrier (same on Mars) and the lower gravity, about 1/6th Earth's gravity, makes it unlikely for humans being able to survive long term. The human body is designed for Earth's gravity and any changes causes a lot of issues. Low gravity cause muscle and bone loss, which can only be slowed, but it also effects the heart and blood circulation causing increased blood pressure in the head. This can cause stroke and blur vision. The longer the exposure to reduced gravity the worse it is. Even a stint of 6 months on the ISS will leave an astronaut too weak to stand and take week, months, and even years to fully recover. This whole concept hits a brick wall at the whole "build a magnetosphere" part. Not sure how a bunch of nukes will create new suns at the poles as nuclear detonations use up most of the fuel and energy near instantaneously. There is nothing left to sustain the react for the decades or more this would require.
Best we think of how to save planet A. There is no planet B.
Please don't import mosquitoes 😂
not only will the atmosphere of mars change,
also time in the solar system will change the.days/night
and who agrees to launch 40 nuclear missiles from Earth?
So, let me get this straight, you fucked up Earth, polluted it so much it is becoming unlivable, now you are going to Mars, changing the atmosphere to support humans, then will pollute it to human extinction? yeah, seems right.
Mars was the first earth 🌍.
Looking forward to a cricket mars cup 😂
We can't properly terraforming our own planet… stupidest idea ever… LOL fantasy sci fi… Soooo, everyone has been brainwashed into thinking CO2 is BAD, and you want to GO TO a planet with a CO2 Atmosphere… yeah,,, super dumb…
great to watch, but this process will take at least a milling year for sure.
Never going to happen. Mars has no magnetic field. Any atmosphere you try to establish, will just be blasted away by the solar wind. You'll never make any progress, no matter what goofy shit you try.
Your best bet is to, essentially, construct a balloon around the entire planet, and attach it to the surface at the peak of Olympus Mons, with a range of anchors across the planet's surface. There's no way to make a consistent and reliable electromagnetic shield with satellites, or any orbital barrier or array of such barriers.
You'd also need a secondary balloon to coincide with the first, containing pressurized ozone to protect against cosmic rays. It might be feasible to include a network of cables in the balloons to generate moderately powerful electromagnetic fields for further protection.
Since the atmosphere would be keeping the whole thing up, you wouldn't need towers or anything to hold it up like a tent. It would literally be a planet in a balloon.
But that's it. That's really your only valid option. And frankly, it is not at all worth it. Mars doesn't have shit worth that much trouble. It's not even worth terraforming the way everyone expects it to be. Mars is, at best, a rest stop on the way to the stars…not any sort of "home" for anything or anyone.
The biggest load of nonsense I have ever heard , there are no planets , they are lights in the sky , think not ? Easy to debunk this comment , get a good camera ,like a Nikon Coolpix P900 & have a look for yourself ,
sounds expensive lol
We need to terraform Earth first
Soundas like a lot of work!
If only fantasies could become real. Imagine sending every asshole to mars and make Earth kinda normal again. 😂
All of this and no mention of the moon that makes out tides possiblr. Go research what our oceans would be without our moon. There would be no life here.
This is very well done. I love it. I feel a little Jurassic Park thinking coming on. Does anyone see any issues with waking up ancient Backtera that have been dormant for millions of years? Nothing for nothing, but that doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
And then you woke up from your dream and the reality hit.
if thats ture then the bacteria will be carried from earth through the machines thaat terraforms the mars and hence its not mars bacteria , its earth bacrteria
It's BS and you know it
Wow amazing AI Film!
Евро не крутится планета мертва,нет электромагнитного поля.
Why it will never ever be able to terraform Mars: Magnetosphere. Mars doesn't have one, and no one can make one. Earth, thank God, has one. Without a magnetosphere anything on the surface of Mars will be irradiated by solar radiation. There will be no water on the surface, no plants, not life upon the planet. Ever. It ain't gonna happen Elon Musk.
This is extremely misleading and irresponsible. Let me be absolutely clear: terraforming Mars is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Mars CANNOT hold a significant atmosphere because A) it's too small and it's gravity isn't strong enough and B) it has no magnetosphere. Even if you very temporarily warm Mars and thicken it's atmosphere the sun is gonna immediately begin blasting off the atmosphere and all of that hard work with it. PERIOD. And you can't just MAKE a magnetosphere, you can't just buy a couple of things at Walmart, slap 'em together, and make a magnetosphere. You would have to reignite Mars' core, to make the mantle molten, and make the iron core rotate at a different rate than the crust; to do that you would need billions of nukes going off DEEP in the core of Mars. You can't drill to the core of Mars; who's gonna change the drillbits? Who's gonna service and repair this GIGANTIC drill? Who's gonna build it? What are they gonna build it out of? How are we gonna get it to Mars? But, mostly, how are we gonna stumble upon enough nukes to make Mars' core molten again?
The idea of terraforming Mars is 1,000% fantasy, at the very least it's science-fiction, with an emphasis on "FICTION". These kinda pop-science videos are irresponsible, giving young enthusiastic minds completely unrealistic expectations for the future. Trying to terraform Mars is akin to lighting you car on fire, waiting until it's completely burned out and only the charred shell remains, and then trying to restore it to working order, in Antarctica, out of only the materials around you. You're basically building a new car at that point, and that's essentially what you'd have to do to terraform Mars, build an entire new planet outta trash. It's asinine. It's impractical. It would be a huge waste of time and of the limited resources on Earth and in our solar system, especially considering that it WOULDN'T EVEN WORK!!!
The only way people could potentially live on Mars is in totally sealed-off, mostly underground, colonies. That's it. That is THE option. That is engineerable. We could realistically begin doing that in the next few coming decades. Terraforming Mars isn't going to happen, period, and I'm so sick and tired of hearing this stupid distraction being presented as an actual practicable thing that we're definitely gonna do. Sci-Fi is fun, but people need to learn the difference between Sci-Fi and science. Thumbs down.
Well produced , but . a fantasy
f that. why not fix this planet, a whole lot cheaper and safer. we will never terraform another planet, we humans are too stupid and gready, governments would rather have wars for profit.
LOL magnetic fields from cables.
Self sustaining Terraforming of Mars is not possible, because even temperatures slightly over zero degrees celsius are enough to speed up molecule velocity of water molecules in the high atmosphere above the escape velocity in the weak gravity field of Mars, so that the water loss to outer space becomes so high, that Mars will lost his water reserves on the long term.
And then they'll start spraying chemtrails lol
👎🏻
2023 Americans use Fahrenheit. Do Americans understand that nobody uses Fahrenheit?
Good vid, It's just a tragedy that we do not look after Earth with the same drive and excitement that we want to colonize Mars.
It all sounds so great, but what about fixing earth's climate problems first?
Pie in the sky nonsense. The only way humans will colonize space is via massive spinning space station – Massive, at least a dozen miles across, that can turn slow enough to produce 1 G with minimal disorienting effects of centrifugal force. Dead planets are a dead end.
exploding nukes uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh radiation????
Yes when we learn to make suns this will be possible (NEVER), less far fetched we will move Mars closer
to the sun with man made black holes!?
how could hold an atmosphere to with Mars gravity ??
