Kurzgesagt videos: 70% trippy, cool as shit scientific stuff 30% birds dying horribly

"They will need to stay inside a lot" Well looks like were ready for mars

Someone needs to base a game on stuff like this.

I cant help but notice the doomguy helmet at 7:17

“Only OG’s remember earth”

Playing a game be like "why is it loading so slow???" "Uh i dont know?" "Where do you live?" "Eastern part of mars" "Bro Your ping is 500000" "yea"

"Yo what country you from?" "Mars"

I just think it’s crazy that not too long ago they managed to look up and wonder what these things in the sky where and thought it’s absolutely impossible to get close enough to see what they are, now we are looking into how we can land here and sustain life here, I just wish I could see what 500 yesrs into the future will be like if we got there if we have started anything

Imagine future kids choosing between Earth and Martian history!

"_________ is a horrible idea, let's do it!" Humanity in a nutshell

this channel's extreme love for science fiction things inspired me, making me inspired and determined enough to ad them into my books, this has sprouted an entire alien species in it, then an entire series of books, about nine of them too! This is amazing. i've always loved this series, but the fact that It inspired me this much is more insane than half of my villains

I'm reading the hard sci-fi book Red Mars right now and it covers a lot of these topics. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in a story featuring the struggles of mars colonisation, both practically and mentally.

"Doing X is a horrible idea! Let's do it!" Otherwise known as the entire history of the human race summarized.

Pretty sure this is the story of Australia

Underground in a very large cave might give a jump start . With the explorers we should be searching for such a place in advance . Once you get enough people there maybe we can push our limits . To do nothing or not try would be a big mistake in my view . They should use a cave on earth to see what could be done and how it could help .

Correction: We don't actually have the technology to get to Mars, much less establish a colony there. There are still huge challenges, like spacecraft radiation shielding, extreme vision degradation/eventual blindness after 6 months in zero G, damage to body systems that involved fluid (again due to low/zero G), and many technical challenges in tech relating to airlocks, robotics, etc. We might have plausible ideas about how to tackle these problems, but you never have the technology until you actually have it. The James Webb telescope is a perfect example: You could say we "had" the tech to build and launch the JWST in 1996 when the project began, but we did not, and ultimately it took 25 years and much, much more money than we planned for to make it happen. tl;dr - There's a big difference between having ideas about how to do something and actually possessing the tech to do it.

The youtube vids would be titled: "What to bring when visiting mars" "My mars morning routine" "Redecorating my space dome"

I bet ants would find a way to survive on Mars!

As a kid, becoming an astronaut and going to Mars was a dream of mine. As an adult, the idea of being stuck in a tiny dark cramped underground bunker with the same people for years on end sounds like living hell.
