For the suit, whichever one gets selected, I strongly recommend Alon®Transparent Aluminum for the face shield glass. Alon is Aluminum Oxynitride (ALN-AL2O3) An inch of it will stop multiple 50 caliber armor-piercing rounds, so you can imagine how nice and rugged it would be for a simple stumble against a rock on Mars. Expensive, but worth it!
Yep. That's what Mark Watney should have been using, he got lucky.
Mars has 38% the gravity of Earth. Our cardiovascular systems need 1 G in order to function properly without atrophying. Until someone figures out how to increase gravity then I don't see how it's possible to live on Mars.
That’s not necessarily the case. We only know our bone density lowers and muscles atrophy in 0G. I imagine 30% earth gravity will affect our body’s but the severity is yet to be known. I would worry more about the lethal radiation and have underground shelters before we ever go.
We? Shiiii. Thats a you thing.
Just surviving the journey from radiation etc to land on a planet uninhabitable. Also Long-term spaceflight can cause lasting changes to the brains and eyes of astronauts Ranging from a significant increase in brain volume to pituitary gland deformation, the hazards of long-term spaceflight should not be underestimated. They be half blind by the time they get back to earth.
But but how about when the naysayers said if man was meant to fly he would have wings? No one is denying that we have the technical capability to reach other worlds. But the human body and mind have adapted to function on Earth and not in a weightless radiation filled environment for long periods of time. So unless we redesign humans to function in a hostile environment we aren't going anywhere.
We havent even been back to the moon.😅
Robotics can survive on Mars and build out a Mars colony for humans. This is more realistic than sending humans to build a colony.
That's the most practical solution
Or JUST send robots.... and Elon.
give everyone 9m diameter luxury apartments, build river-like lakes for indoor walks, seafood and o2 algae - ice as building material be self-sealing and give vast structures in no time (waterlocks as airlocks make living easy )
We are no where near the technology to do that. Our robots have a long way to go.

We have to get there without dying in a massive explosion first. I'll wait until that minor detail is a thing.
That and all the travelers being cooked by extra-solar cosmic rays en route-
Well, leaving earth for another planet is a major risk, no doubts about that - remaining on earth has its risks, too - like climate change, wars etc. I would prefer the risk of going, but by the time we have developed that idea to a plan I'll be too old to be of any use for that kind of mission.
@@friedrichhofmann8111 War, maybe. Only if leftists keep getting put in power; then that one is 100%. Climate change, laughable at best and the best illustration of why Mars would not work.
Might be better to send Mice to Mars they're compact resourceful the 2 year lifespan is perfect since it coincides with the transit period from mars to earth. They will become immortalised as the pioneers of the new frontier.
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.
Don't perchlorates react w/ h2o to make o2 and oxides ?? Mix the regolith w/ ground cellulose and shite , compost the works and start growin high--cellulose crops Produce soil exponentially Need some Earth microbes , too !!!!
When is somebody gonna build a little brush thingy that will sweep off the solar cells when needed ???
NASA has developed electrostatic dust repulsion tech for solar panels, airlock, and moving mech.
@@zvorenergythey did all that and didn't put on a little brush thingy for when all that failed?

Why is this video talking about Mars 2020 like it is the future. Perseverance and Ingenuity have been on Mars for two years now.
Excellent and imminently enjoyable.
We can’t even find clean water in Michigan let alone another planet.
have you tried rain? man americans are really d0 mb arent they 😂 😂
That’s why scientists are building stuff that extracts clean water from water that would kill you long way to go but needed for a base on the moon
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.
As rapidly as possible. What's the rush? Why couldn't we wait let's say 10 000 years?
@@fernandobernardo6324 Exactly. Just send all your money to SpaceX and they'll get around to it someday long long from now. Probably never.
We aren't. Tech needed to do that in a way that makes any sense is still hundreds of years away. We can't even transport living humans through Van Allen belt yet.
I'd say the clouds of Venus have become infinitely more attractive for a potential Human settlement than Mars will ever be based on the technology we currently have or reasonably could have in the near future to make an off-Earth/Moon settlement feasible. The launch window for Mars is too infrequent; the transit times are far too long; Mars' gravity is much too weak for Human Beings; Mars is completely irradiated with no magnetosphere or dense enough atmosphere to provide any shielding, requiring habitats to be heavily shielded either by burrowing underground or bringing prefabricated radiation shielding from Earth along with. Mars is covered in its own regolith not unlike the moon except it has large dust storms that blanket the entire planet reducing access to overall solar power beyond the reduction due to Mars' overall distance further out from the Sun...(?) & That doesn't even take into consideration the losses of entire missions Humanity has collectively experienced in the pursuit of studying Mars -- the Soviet Union struggled with Mars so much, they eventually accused the United States of sabotage. The US has lost projects sent to Mars. Even Elon missed trying to put a Tesla into Mars orbit! Venus, however, is right there -- our sister planet! Sure, on first appearances she's ugly as sin, but we've mostly always been looking from the wrong angle. But if you look at the atmosphere, you find the most Earth-like conditions that we know of (except on Earth) in the entire solar system. Mars is an irradiated dusty cold wasteland; Venus has the most Earth-like conditions that we know of in the SS...(?) Why is Mars even being considered...?!! We should re-orient all efforts to focus on Venus & not Mars ASAP!!
Copy/paste that to Elon
(ice as building material be self-sealing and give vast structures in no time - waterlocks as airlocks make living easy )
If your balloon pops your screed though. And the acid rain and winds are nuts
@@Just.A.T-Rex (to live in a balloon vs living on a planet - earth surface is mostly water which is rather easy to achieve in a planet habitat )
There will be no humans ever on Venus it's a planet human will never be able to inhabit 100% not and those are facts not opinions! There's a reason no government cares about Venus missions and never will Today, Venus is a very hostile place. It is a very dry planet with no evidence of water, its surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead, and its atmosphere is so thick that the air pressure on its surface is over 90 times that on Earth.

What will be necessary is centrifugal 1G spaceports on orbit to preserve the health of long term residents..... There will be limits to how long on surface presence will be possible in the lower gravity..... In my opinion...... :)
We aren't. Total waste.

How Are We Going To Survive On Earth? Or is the Answer?: How Are We Going To Survive On Mars?
Both we will eventually get hit by a huge astroid or something like Yellowstone threatens human existence and we have to survive for all we know we are it for intellectual life
Earth will be good for next millions years
Conquer the planet, you said. ? ??

I'm still waiting to hear the remedy for cardiovascular and vision damage... The elephant in the room no one wants to talk about apparently.

Even though the Ice House looks to be the most radiation protective design, it also seems to be a giant sail and with all the high winds on Mars, I don't see it lasting very long. It needs to have a flatter dome and closer to the ground, so the it will be stable in the Martian winds.
I think Caves either natural or artificial are the best bet for habitats . Dig 'em into a cliff face and make a bunch of different levels . paint the inside w/ sealant and viola Living space !!
@@lawrenceiverson1924The trouble would arise with the weight of excavation equipment. Would be very difficult and expensive to get enough there in one piece.
When the atmosphere is less than 1/100 of Earth, the force produced by the wind is very low.
The wind on Mars is in 1% the atmospheric pressure of Earth. That's about enough to pick up fine dust but not nearly enough to knock anything down.
The should let mars gooo
The last time I was there they was out of everything but gravy an noodles.
Until they fix the health problems of long term space flight like what the astronaut stranded on the ISS suffered ots a waste of money and life
If microbes or any Martian bacteria exists, would human colonists permanently have to live in their spacesuits?
With the lack of atmospheric pressure and completely impossible for our technology way of reverting that, how could it be otherwise?
What the difference between marketing a dream and bury a dream. The first is Dream X and the second are the deadly radiations from space.😢
Too much background music, I need a relaxing narrator voice to sleep
One question is: How are they going to dispose of dead bodies?
float them off into space
Mars might be better as a planet to mine instead of living there.
It will be better off if we don’t find life. It will make it much easier to justifying introducing life that we bring to it than having to try and protect life that was already there and risking it being destroyed by what we bring.
Instead of spending billions of dollars on Mars and waste a lot of precious time to renovate this red planet and say, "We don't have much time", why not just spend billions of dollars for saving this precious planet while we have a chance??
Getting polluting industry off world is the only way to maintain the standard of living we enjoy, and that the developing world wants and should have. Much of that will use the same technology.
Because Musk wants us to forget that, thus this insane fantasy. Just read some of the comments across the internet that worship him as Space Jesus.

Let’s be real, if we can’t figure out a way to eliminate radioactive Tritium from our own waters and storm clouds from nuclear power plants, the living in mars will be a very hard job to accomplish.

Location and geology is the key for successful settlements. A solid mass of stone with no fracture would be ideal. The top of the dome ( small mountain ) should house your forest and some farming. The structure lower should be for habitation. The next lower structure should be for manufacturing. The next structure ground level should be for bringing in metal ores, sands for glass, water, and clays. Another hill nearby and also occupied should have mirrors to beam in additional light for heat and energy. All of this will have underground roads, rails, or ski lifts.
ski lifts. i didn't realise the poles lent themselves to winter-sports. ;-)

a 9m diameter loop and a scooter gives you all the gravity you need for as long as you want
@@wamnichoI doubt that. People said the same thing about airplanes, that the skies were the domain of God and forbidden to enter. As late as 1903, the New York Times was predicting it would take 10,000 years (though the Wright Brothers would prove that wrong). While it will take longer with spacecraft, I do think that centuries down the line technology could advance enough to make such ventures plausible. The advances made in only 60 years is incredible.

At the west end of Valles Marineris is a feature called Noctis Labyrinthus, which is in the heart of the Tharsus region. The coordinates are 7°S, 93°W. There is a water ice glacier there which contains 36 billion tons or 8.7 trillion gallons of H2O, or just a bit larger than Lake Meade at the Hoover Dam near Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The canyon floor is 4.35 miles deep, which provides twice the atmospheric pressure: 12.4 millibars, compared to 6.1 millibars at the datum level. The 3.75mi/6km high canyon walls also provide very good protection from cosmic radiation. Noctis will enjoy a relatively mild climate, as it is only 7 degrees south of the equator (258 miles).
