Spending 5 seconds on Mars without a helmet is NOT a good idea. But let me tell you how we got there. Ah, the red sky of Mars. The red planet and our potential new home. Well, Mars isn't as hospitable as it sounds. It's really inhospitable.

“If you think Uranus smells bad” got me dead
me too💀, and yeah as soon as i heard that i looked into the comments for this one
That's why I call Uranus stinky smelly rotten egged looking smelly planet 😂😂😂😂💀😂
And makes me laugh super hard😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
They did that on purpose 😂😅
Wow..... really wasn't that funny at all
“What do you mean we sacrificed Chase!? Oh sorry I meant we ‘sent’ Chase 😂😂😂
Funniest of the video 😂😂😂
Tall blonde white aliens exist. I'm very sincere about that.
Camera man never dies 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The camera never dies
😂😂
Joke not funny anymore
He's got a working helmet.
damn ur videos have improved so much its so entertaining i love it this new style is so amazing the conversation between chase and rico was amazing keep it up
what i was saying been watching his videos for years i love the new change very unique
@@quawrld_5016 exactly brother Same here
Right? ^^
Here here 👏👏 the videos are hugely entertaining
Really creative and a great script! Very professional. Well done
Can we all just take a minute and acknowledge and appreciate the fact that this man gave his life making this video for us!?!? Bravo sir, well done…. Extremely well done 👍….. your memory will live on forever my friend 😢 👌 💪 😉
Been done before
Another copycat comment
That would have been funny if u came up with it
@@ProdAuxz yeah by me! I was the first person on the internet to come up with such jokes…. Therefore I get to keep telling them…. 😜
“Take that Matt Damon” Lol
Says Jimmy Kimmel lol
Boy are these fantastic! Your contents are always amazing. Keep up the great work!
I feel sorry for Chase here. He built a pretty decent living space with all the amenities, only to have the animators kill him off to prove a point.
Love this educational channel! The host's enthusiasm and clear explanations make complex subjects easy to understand and enjoyable to learn.
You always create the videos which topics I think.❤ Thank you
Love these videos and looking forward to more (likely extremally inhospitable) planetary adventures. I was wondering if the high winds in the Martian dust storms would actually not knock someone down due to the very thin atmosphere. I read this in one of Astronomer Phil Plait's articles.
u are all crazy, we are not made for space., never will be, just ask god
One´s got to love Chase. He´s so funny giving his live entertaining us 😅. I like how he is talking too.
I need to correct you. Martian atmosphere is so incredibly thin that the cold wouldn't affect you like it would on Earth. A cup of coffee would freeze in Antarctica alot faster than on Mars (making up for the lost water through evaporation on Mars initially as it cools enough to stop boiling and marking the freeze at 0°C and not -40 odd where it freezes in a near vacuum. Also, human skin is so resilient, it keeps the pressure inside your body meaning in a vacuum your body might be at 0.7 atm (Earth) your blood doesn't boil. Only exposed liquids, saliver, sweat, tears will boil. You'd probably have to physically close your eyes tight to prevent them being popped out but you could survive for as long as it would take to pass you probably 15s max. So your astronaut would have made the 5 second distance, and the cold wouldn't do a thing
No pressure think about that. we live under 15psi. That's a LOT! not having that pressure being applied externally on every INCH of our surface would be catastrophic. It would take a coupla minutes to kill you though, not a coupla seconds like what was depicted in movies like Total Recall, Outland, Blade Runner. You would suffocate but wouldn't be conscious by that time.
@@leecowell8165 Blade Runner? What was in that about Mars?
The atmosphere is so thin on mars that there is no oxygen in the atmosphere. Scientists believe that mars was once have life but the environment became too cold for life. So less than a minute you prob won’t survive in such environment.
Forgetting a couple of things. Our bloods capacity to carry oxygen. We have a PaO2, which is oxygen bound directly to the hemoglobin. Then we have an O2 content, that's the total amount of oxygen dissolved within our tissues, plasma etc. And lastly, we have the RBC's (red blood cells). More RBC's, more oxygen can be stored and vice versa. I think we'd be good for as long someone could hold their breath.
"If you think Uranus smell bad Mars smells like rust and gunpowder" That second one doesn't smell bad
Rust could be iffy
Mars's atmosphere is so thin that even its fastest winds would not be strong enough to blow you around.
The problem with Mars is, it LOOKS like some areas of Earth. That's a problem because it means lives will be lost TRYING to colonize it. Here's an idea: Terra-form EARTH so we can live in more places! (Such as ice caps, under water, or deserts which could become lush and green.) Way easier, and the travel time is months shorter, and you can even have live video calls with your relatives! Oh and Earth happens to have Earth-like gravity (more than any other planet) so your bones won't wither away and the muscles won't atrophy.
This guys a riot, the sarcasm is oozing off the screen. Not that this person isn’t right though
Atmosphere on Mars is so thin that storms are very weak, so he could walk easily to his shelter.
The atmosphere on Mars is not thin......it is only thinner than the Earth but factually it is impossible to walk or sustain in a storm on Mars for even 3 seconds. The storms are much stronger ( 6 miles per hour )
@@ravikishoresubravet It is really thin, storms are weak, low gravity.
With lots of KZhead channels, doing the same, it’s hard to find creativity and originality. Loved this video! Subscribed!
if the martian movie has an alternate ending, this is it
Matt Damon laying on the Martian surface doing whole the Total Recall thing would be a nice ending there.
Thermal conductivity should be a considered when discussing how cold or hot something is. In a vacuum, you would stay warm for a while even if the temperature was negative 200 because the only way to get rid of heat is radiation. With Mars being really cold it probably wouldn't matter much since the atmosphere is so thin. I would be more concerned with radiation from cosmic rays than anything and poisonous dirt that would grow poisonous plants.
Good observation. Furthermore, Mars does not have nitrogen, and without nitrogen they cannot grow anything.
@@cabezzadevaca4157in the fertilizer?
in a glass dome and synthetic nitrogen it is possible for plants to grow mars
I'd be a LOT more concerned about the lack of pressure! 5 seconds with no pressure. More than enough time to kill you, I would expect.
I wish they taught us like this in school.. i would’ve seriously consider becoming something to do with space
and now you are here, mr philosopher 😂😂😂
I love how he takes 5 seconds and turns it into 8 min
The way he said over there is a window with excitement and then got disappointed got me dyin’ rn
I just love when the astranot says what do you mean scrafice 😂😂
I wonder if chase is AI bc he looks kinda odd and creepy
You could totally survive if you were running from one airlock to another and were without a suit for no more than maybe 30 seconds.
More like 10-15 secs (in space; not sure about Mars).
@@Myria83I think you’d do better on Mars without a spacesuit than the vacuum of space. That’s not saying much though… neither one is ideal. But until we get some real world data that question will be scientific guesses. I mean it’s going to be a hazard regardless. The surface of the Moon is like talcum powder… not sure how Mars is. I’m sure it varies. I’m still more interested in Antarctica until we land on Mars though… if we ever do (mankind)
You live in Mars?
as thin as the atmosphere is at mars, it wont matter.@@Myria83
why would the vacum kill him in five seconds. There is no explanation. From all i see in internet 5 seconds wouldnt even be enough to lose consciousness
Thanks for nice informative videos
These videos are just my late night thoughts😂
4:37 sounds like he did Duolingo Spanish lessons 😂😂😂😂
Bro even Duolingo is Martian! 😂😂😂
your what if videos are gold
Damn your video improved so much since the last time I watched them
Please do NOT swear
@@GABEPLAYZ-ou9nl huh?
Dude this is awsome I love your stuff man its so good and funny and just has good information to it
Applauds for the PUN. 😂😂
Chase is one funny character!
"At least it doesn't smell as bad as Uranus" got me rolling
He froze and his blood boiled. Mars is a vacuum.
good way to explain and make visual learners learn good
LOL. Arnold went on Mars and he didn't die.
The most breathtaking 5 seconds of your life
With his condescending remark about the metric system, I'm kinda glad Chase never lasts long in these videos.
He's cocksure.
The metric system is for loser countries
Watching Chase - at least I'm not the only one being sacrificed all the time 😂
The shape of that space ship though😂😂😂
Do venus next lol wanna see how long he can survive there
1 second... you'd be crushed into oblivion then cremated with 400 degree heat 😂😂
@@mitchellchapman2954 they can give a special suit that can make survive longer 😅
Great stuff I really enjoyed that! Pity you did not mention that Mars has mega dust storms every 5 years or so that turn day into night for weeks on end so solar panels would be useless. So you would also have to take a nuclear reactor with you for energy needs!
You live on Mars?
Mentioned at 6:25
NOW THIS VIDEO IS CALLED WHAT IF? THE REAL VIDEO ❤. SUPER INFORMATIVE PLUS FUNNY IT WAS AMAZING LOT'S OF LOVE FROM INDIA 🇮🇳 GUY'S LOVED IT JUST AMAZING 🎉...
This is new level of what if!!
Your videos look really good, you could make a videogame with these graphics, looks really good :D
I appreciate the work you put into your videos; the animations are well done and the feeling of being 'there' is quite real. *But* you were showing a lot content before the one question your clip was supposed to answer to. So the question "What happens if" imho is only solved quiet poor. You said, the pressure would kill a human being without wearing a helmet. How big is this pressure? Can you compare it to the pressure a diver must bear under water? At which level?
The highest atmospheric density on Mars is equal to the density found 35 km above the Earth's surface. The resulting mean surface pressure is only 0.6% of that of the Earth (101.3 kPa).
What if you told us how you create these amazing visuals! 😜
That will be for another what if
How ??? 😢
🚀 Taking a 5-second trip to Mars without a helmet-thrilling or terrifying? 😱 Imagine the breathtaking views, the eerie silence, and the unknown mysteries of the red planet. Would you dare, or is it a journey too far? Share your thoughts! 👨🚀🔴
Five second trip to Mars without a helmet and spacesuit would be way too far for me. The reason why is that the gases in my body would immediately expand, my blood would be boiling due to reduced atmospheric pressure, and also the lack of oxygen. After five seconds without a helmet and spacesuit, I would be trading my astronaut wings for a more permanent variety (consisting of wings, robe, halo, and a harp).
Silence? I think there are winds and sand storms....well because of the thin atmosphere may be not so noisy but still something. The speed of sound over there is 2 times slower. I expermented total silence on mountains in the winter time. It is indeed something. Or deep in the ground.
you can survive outer space for 30+ seconds so considering Mars has atmosphere, 5 seconds doesn't sound right. Also, co2 is abundant so we can find a way to get oxygen and grow plants.
What breath taking view? Not a tree in sight...no sound...no music..not one bird...what’s so breath taking? Except when you take your helmet off..” breath taking” alrite🔥🔥🔥
A 5-second trip to Mars at all is extremely fast. Faster than light, even. If you can do that you probably have a pill or something that can make you invincible.
Even if cameraman dies, the camera never dies.
Hilarious. I was binge watching these and by my 3rd trip to google to convert the metrics, I said “I really wish they taught us this in school”… now I have closed captions 🥰
He can speak spanish
7:38 Said "Don't try this on your own."..... Like yeah not in a million chance 🤣
I suddenly got reminded of that scene on *Total Recall*
America saved the World in the Movies..✔💯
What if the movie "Passenger's" is a real possibility? I honestly love that movie, and wonder of all the places we could visit over thousands of years..
My man will never dies. I thought that u turns into diamond💎
My dumbass saw the notification and thought you’re talking about a motorcycle helmet 💀🗿
😂
David Bowie: Is there life on Maaaaaarrrrrsss? Elton John: Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact it’s cold as heck, and there’s no one there to raise them if you did.
i like how he has plot armor beacuse he was on uranus and then revived to be in mars
I think I've heard the water recycling on the International Space Station described like this: “Today's coffee is also tomorrow's coffee!” -we do the same thing on Earth, it's just the turnaround time is usually longer!
You would actually have around 11 seconds or so before passing out... but you get the idea. Vacuum esposure sucks the air out of your lungs (they... kind of explode, if your mouth is closed).
11 seconds is a theoretical maximum, 50% of the population would succumb before that.
Poor Chase! Why did you tell us so much about his habitat so we got attached to him emotionally if you wanted to kill him anyway? It feels like losing a friend.
0:08 Potential new home? HA! you're funny.
It's Chase's arch nemesis, MICROMETEORITE
Me: Sees Chase Also me: Oh look its the guy who went deep into Uranus
Yes it does, I would love to be in a video so Zefeated, the developer for Tower Battles: Battlefront could be the commander, and I’ll be the DJ talking too.
Nice video!
Do more videos like this is really cool😅😅
I agree
I love how chase could smell Uranus but not Mars 😅
Love what if videos❤❤❤
7:08 he became coyote Peterson😂
5 seconds on Mars. So like by the time u take off ur Helmut ur basically dead. U won't even be able to get one breath. So how can u smell somthing when u would even be able to get even a breath.
Just like that scene in the original Total Recall.
Damn that astronaut is super positive. I wish i had that kind of can do attitude.
Love this channel … !
I’m never gonna be old enough to not laugh at Uranus jokes
Lol off my bucket list
that storm wouldn't be so bad. The pressure on Mars is so low that even a storm should feel like a breeze
Love your videos!🩶
Chase literally recreated a habitat from matt Damon from the martian 🤣
as others pointed out, dust storms would have almost no effect as the atmosphere is not dense enough
Very nice video! I think we'd need much more than only 5 seconds to die (or pass out) on Mars without helmet, though.
It would take a coupla minutes. But you'd lose consciousness very quickly probably within 10-15 seconds. You'd suffocate. Air would rush out (freezing your nose and mouth) but none could come in because there ain't any. The saliva in your throat and mouth would boil as well very quickly. Horrible way to go...
I don't think the dust storms would harm you on Mars. The density of the gas is much lower, so the impact would be gentle , but cloudy and dusty indeed. The movie Martian was not accurate.
i was looking for this.. Which is very true. The atmosphere is 1/100th the earth, so that dust storm should feel like a slight breeze sine the air isnt that dense..
If I think to spend 10 minutes on I’m dead ha oooooh yelling yeah
That makes me wanna go to Mars but not with the helmet though
bro i actually went to mars for a couple of weeks back in the days. nothing crazy happened tbh, I just hanged out with the boys.
I'd like to see him go to Europa, since there's Oxygen there!
A suggestion on what if. The earth was not tilted or tilted to the left. What would happen?
Check out the movie "Damnation Alley".
You'd end up a live total recall candidate...lol
Elon Musk should volunteer himself to go live on Mars
That's fraud would never do that he loves himself too much he should send his fanboys
He actually wants to
when people try to make mars have life BUT earth is about to die
At least it doesn't smell bad as Uranus 💀
This poor Chase dude gets ALL the worst assignments.
Appreciate the honesty it’s a sacrifice, nobody wants to live out there
What first martian astronauts need is an orbiting support ship with regular drop ship missions for their long term mental health requirements 😮 One month on the surface, one month up above for the first year 😮❤
It's awesome animation I like it future on Mars is going to this
So amazing! is this done in Unreal Engine?
So I think you could probably manage it, IRL. Mar's atmosphere is very thin, basically negligible, but it's not worse than the vacuum of space. In space without a suit, you can live for up to a minute with 16 seconds of useful consciousness. Honestly, the best thing to do here is hyperventilate to increase your blood oxygen, then exhale and go. You'll still be exposed to incredible cold and flying debris, which will cut like razors, but breathing wouldn't be a problem.
I read 11-12 secs in space, but that's the idea.
Breathing wouldn't be a problem? Well there's no air TO breathe thus I would think it would be one helluva problem!
