What if they are going there racing for gold and other natural resources 🤔🤔🤔
Why do people ruin their video with music?
Low gravity is the least of the problems. Soil for agriculture would have to be sourced locally. Unfortunately, the regolith contains enormous amounts of perchlorates, which are impossible to separate and toxic to life, human and plant. Suitable food crops would have to be designed to be tolerant of these chemicals and to exclude them from the portions designed to be eaten.
It’s incredible to think we’re living at the dawn of interplanetary travel! I just released a full documentary about humanity’s journey to colonize Mars — if you're as obsessed with space exploration as I am, you’ll love it. Would love to hear your thoughts on the future of Mars missions!
Here's a thought: forget colonizing an insanely inhospitable planet; and instead, take care of the beautiful one we actually live on.
Gonna die on mars. 1 week. Radiation poisoning
We will NEVER,EVER, colonise space... .
No magnetic field. No chance of any meaningful life there.
I cannot take it seriously that they wish to live on the surface from the start. Sure a few structures makes sense. Read minimal. The initial colony should be a compact structure, close (maybe slightly larger) to minimum viable size, to eventually serve as access to the surface, initially short term living space, but they should be equipped and trained to expand. Downwards. As rapidly as possible. Once entrenched with the beginnings of larger industry ever more surface development could of course occur. Surface living space is a much more challenging endeavour than going subterranean. Definitely on Mars. Building what are basically chalets on the surface from the start just seems impractical and even whimsical to me. Focus initial surface development on stuff that need to be there, or can weather it. Tuck the fleshy meat bags away safely. And yeah ice domes will be covered in dust in short order. Permanently transparent ice domes are pure fantasy. Look at the rovers.
I’ll go bro
Aliens won't let us. 🤣
If the Martian atmosphere is Co2 then bring lots of plants.
