Leaving earth to find new homes in space is an old dream of humanity and will sooner or later be necessary for our survival. The planet that gets the most attention is Mars, a small, toxic and energy poor planet that just about seems good enough for a colony of depressed humans huddled in underground cities.
But what if we think bigger? What if we take Venus, one of the most hostile and deadly places in the solar system and turn it into a colony? Not by building lofty cloud cities, but by creating a proper second earth? It might be easier than you think.

@@Memecious thank you
Hi
“It might be easier than you think.” It was in fact a lot harder than I had originally thought.
@J Silva Yes, using a totally new technology that let's us control matter at a fundemental level would be better... Video ends there, good luck inventing and getting Nobel prizes.
@J Silva i mean , your excistence is also crap too
@J Silva yes something like multiple fission bombs that cool the planet quickly and secondary waves that eats CO2 and converts to oxygen such as modyfied stubborn algae. The solar blocking part is also a doable idea since not much material is needed and can help control temperatures. That can probably cut time by several centuries.
LoL
@@WhiteWolfos The nuclear bombs are analogous the the mirror, they just block sunlight. They wouldn't work as well on Venus because the atmosphere is already incredibly dense, and not much of the debris from the explosion would be able to block sunlight. Earth would only cool from a nuclear weapon because of what it was able to destroy, whether that be a city, or forest, or caused fires that continued to burn down more things, it is really only the massive amounts of smoke and gas from that which causes the earth to cool because it blocks sunlight. The mirror is the most effective way of doing this. I think an actual plausible idea they may have not realized was that you can begin terraforming with bacteria pretty early on, in the upper atmosphere of Venus. This could mean making huge balloons that carry large amounts of water filled with cyanobacteria to begin removing CO2 even before the planet has cooled on the surface. You could also just introduce a GMO cyanobacteria to the clouds of Venus themselves. I'm not a chemist or a biologist, so I cant really say this would be entirely possible as they may be issues with reproduction of the bacteria, or the acidic environment in the clouds may just be too great even for a heavily modified cyanobacteria.

Kurzgesagt: It’s easier then you might think Also Kurzgesagt: proceeds to name the hardest methods I’ve ever heard
I mean I would think it's impossible. I guess possible technically is easier then impossible

It seems like the hardest method to you because you’re not a rocket scientist
💯💯💯
No, these are the easiest ones. The other ones require believing in the infinite power of technological progress - that is to say, waving a magic wand. How could you possibly change the rotation speed of Venus, for instance? The people who talk about those fantasies simply assume there will be future technology that makes it easy, but never seem interested in the details involved.

8. Giant mirrors
“Might not be as hard as you think” **Creates multiple planet-sized mirrors and harvests another planet's moon by flinging its contents across space**
Right!? They need a grey goo to just farm oxygen from the crust
Yea the mirror is big problem Joe Scott covered it in a video
The easiest way is probably to find a large medorite made of calcium and shot it at the planet to fix the carbon levels and we can do the same thing for nitrogen though different elements.
Can't expect that teraforming planets will be easy

Bruh, if we can turn any planet into Earth, than why can’t we turn Earth back into Earth?
Sad reality of today,people keep worrying about colonizing Mars but trust me it will turn into another garbage site once we'll get there
people..
Wow deep af
Why are you everywhere. You literally commented so early
Remember. Earth is not fucked. The people are
There’s this game called TerraGenesis that allows players to terraform planets, I’m currently working on Venus myself and the options for removing most of the atmosphere that I used were the sequestration plant and bio fixture labs that turned the co2 into c and o2 and removing the atmosphere allowed most of the heat to escape from Venus as well, at one point the bio fixture labs were putting too much oxygen into the atmosphere so I used a hydro generator which combined some of the oxygen with hydrogen to create water, which I eventually stabilized to the point that plants could grow, so we started with the nitrogen fixing microbes so we could add plants that could sustain humanity and any other creatures that I will add in the future, and it only took 500+ years in game. Edit: it was Not 500 odd years, it was 3500-4000 years, in game, I’m not an immortal being Edit from 7 months in the future, I have terraformed the moon, Venus, mars and am currently working on Io which is a moon of Jupiter that has ice oceans underneath it’s surface, I haven’t played in months so now was a good time to come back to it

"Terraforming Venus is easier than you think" *proceeds to pull out a planet size mirror out of their ass.
It's not planet sized, it's relatively small. You can make it small by having it a lot closer to the sun.
@@AicyDC that is very stupid
@@abelsenarega1599 get a lightbulb in your house and compare how big the shadow it makes is when you put your hand close to it vs further away
@@AicyDC that works when the object that emits the light is smaller than the target object right? The sun is wayyyyyyy bigger than Venus, I don’t see how putting the mirror closer to it, would make the shadow bigger on Venus.
@@abelsenarega1599 You don't need to completely shade the whole planet, just reduce the amount of energy going into Venus so that it is less than the energy leaving the planet. Blocking the whole planet's would do this faster, but it isn't essential.

Seriously. Mars seems a lot easier to terraform than Venus but unfortunately it’s gravity is too weak; an attribute that can’t be changed. A weak gravity is highly destructive to our bodies.
This kinda feels like an Oversimplified joke
@@aristocat3012 there trying to not oversimplify too many things!
@@budakhan79 I 100% agree but less gravity is bad spending 1 year in space equals having back pain for 10 years as a senior citizen Mars and Earth have a narrow travel window every two years and with current spacecraft technology it takes you 7 entire months to get the Mars and to colonize Mars for a small Outpost it needs a constant Supply of resources Parts nuclear Fuel and Crews from Earth and the Mars dust is much finer than Earth's dust which makes it able to get through with vents and sneak its way into the electronics and gears of all our machines and since it's very dry it's electrostatically charged which makes it stick to metal including the metal of space suits and the dust is made of very toxic pure chlorine salt's which makes it deadly I never do sunbathing on Mars surface for three years because you get 50 times the radiation you feel on Earth from UV rays x-rays gamma rays and cosmic rays no magnetic field equals that you'll be exposed to cosmic rays!

@@dubbyy_ amounts of nitrogen on earth & venus are the same, there's no reason to remove any from Venus Amounts of carbon and oxygen on earth & venus are the same, the difference is just that they're in gaseous form on venus. Removing anything screws the whole planet up! It was once earth like, to make it earth like again, we just need to add back the hydrogen that is light & has drifted off into space & then put the CO2 back into it's solid C & H2O forms & leave some of the oxygen free in the air. Or to put it another way, if we build cloud cities there now with our current tech & retain all waste from all plants/crops we grow as charcoal or carbon fibre, then pretty soon the terraforming will begin happening anyway & the cloud cities that naturally float at the habitable altitude of earth like pressure & temperature, will slowly begin to float lower & lower until they touchdown on the surface & with the addition of hydrogen from a gas giant, we can make oceans with the excess oxygen. Not that we would want to terraform anyway, since the planet takes 8 months to complete a single day cycle, so 4 months of dark, whereas in the clouds the winds act as artificial rotation giving a 4 earth day cycle & unlimited solar & wind power, with an always on industrial high pressure furnace below that we can lower things into to cheaply & easily create carbon fibre, diamonds etc etc without needing any fossil fuels to do it This video's just ridiculous with it's removing CO2 in it's heaviest form before importing H2O in it's heaviest form & then ignoring that once the carbon's gone the forests aren't even possible, while it both exported & imported oxygen for no reason!

@@Yatagurusu Going to mercury and scooping up rocks and materials would be so fucking amazing to watch
It is literally metal and rock
Sacrificial goat
Mercury has a surface temperature between −173 °C at night and 427 at day. So what do we want to go and do there? It's most likely Terraforming other planets relies on advanced bio-chemical engineering than simple application of physics.
"It might be easier than you think" Me, after 10 Minutes: "No"
this is the most unfeasible video by them so far. I love the channel but when they casually make big assumptions like usable space tethers (from previous video: would be a big achievement all on it's own) the day/night thing also seems like it would be one of the hardest steps but they glossed over it honestly.
@@reixyz4852 There’s also the issue of casually removing a planet’s worth of CO2 from the surface. Would be better if they marketed themselves as science fiction with roots in physics.
Whoever does this to Venus can't even be classified as the same species as us at that point.
@Miles bruh what
@@reixyz4852 It wouldn't even be worth terraforming anything closer to the Sun than Earth, because of the sun becoming a red giant in a few billion years. I'd support these kind of ideas for places like Titan & Europa though.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="731">12:11</a> it feels illegal to see actually human faces in a Kurzgesagt video 😂
Let’s just take very good care of our earth, respect fauna and flora as wel as each other. Sound like a solid easy plan 😃. Interesting video.
This did not sound easier than I imagined..
LFMAO this got me dead
@@riccosu3599 same
Its easy, just wait some next generations
@@mr_poopyheadpro2806 and somehow have impossibly good luck.
Sounds like the real answer is build a Dyson Sphere first
Bosses be like: Cool, I need it by Monday tho.
and professional workers be like. : ok boss you got it tomorrow :P the next day boss : is it ready.. professional skilled employee : allmost ready sir. just some small piece of work is left :P and cycle repeats :P but as i said. only professional employes can handle the stress of that work. awerage workers will be fired instantly :D i saw this kind of dialogues executed in lots of real situations lots of times .

@@ahmetmutlu348 thanks Ahmet this was truly inspirational
@@ahmetmutlu348 I just had a stroke reading this.
@@ahmetmutlu348 Damn bro I really felt that 😔
I want to see this idea turned into a film or mini-series in which the same actors play characters in multiple generations.
i loved this video becuase of the way they explain it
“Hey look mom, a shooting star” *All of a sudden the sun mirror cracks*
LOL
RUN
Hahaha, we can already map the postion of basically every astroid in our solar system. I think an advanced space aged civilization will be able to protect their expensive satellites from basically anything... *whispers* _except ourselves._
@@animagamer2 basically everything... Exept a gamma ray burst that is
Nickle doesn't crack. I made space mirrors when i was 23.
Actually, we are rushing the exact opposite process: terraforming Earth into a second Venus.
Haha true
Venusforming
terraform is turn something into a earth like habitat, your sentence do not make sense
@@duzuba shut up
Don't overexaggerate.
Also after we terraform Venus we should look into founding a debt internment colony called “Solaris United”
I have a question about the annular mirror setup at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="254">4:14</a>. What's stopping the support mirror from being pushed away by solar radiation? You can't just have support mirrors for the support mirrors; it has to stop eventually.
Gravity.

Atmospheric pressure is a bitch, what can be said 😅
KZhead: *casually ignores adult swim*
I actually got scared and I'm not even a kid or at least I think so.
welp, he dead.
Reminded me of Invincible. 😁
After terraforming, we could grow venus flytraps on Venus.
And we'll call those Earthen flytraps.
Underrated
Greetings kindred spirit. This has always been my dream as well.
You know to much we will be coming to your house at 7pm
Great idea 👍👍😁😁
This is still my favourite Kurzgesagt video
Terra former: nah let’s not do mars let’s do Venus instead mars is too difficult. Ah well Venus is even more difficult let’s just stay here
Us: “Can we live on Venus?” KURZGESAGT: “When Hell freezes over.. So here’s how you make that happen~”
Why are you a furry? That's a bit disgusting to me, dude.
@@TheRatLiker let them be whoever they want

@@TheRatLiker Why do you like rats? That’s a bit disgusting to me, dude.
@@TheRatLiker Why are you judging people for the way they want to express themselves. That's a bit disgusting to me, dude.
one of the best videos on the channel

“It might be easier than you think” It’s hundreds of times harder than I thought it would be
Exactly what I thought lmao
Right like brah That would take SO much money 💰❗❗
And really time consuming, 200 years to just cool it down
@@fangier0 If you think about it, 200 years is only around 4 human generations.
@@SacsachCCABP I suppose, if you expect 50-year-olds to give birth.
