There is a research station, a small building in Antarctica. Compared to Mars, the South Pole is a tropical paradise. You can breath the air, water is plentiful, you won't be fried by radiation, and if there is a problem, help is not far away. Despite this, residents at the station must be rotated out every few months as severe psychological problems soon arise. Living on Mars would be a miserable experience.
Why compare it to Antarctica and not with people living in space? we already have people living in space and the limiting factor on why they cannot stay more than a few months is lack of gravity and that is not the issue on Mars. Also, you compare Mars with today's Earth's worst pace, but in the event of nuclear winter, all planet could be inhabitable on surface and living underground here might be worse than living on Mars on the surface in some domes, of course. Also, we're lucky to have Mars as a next door planet, because if Jupiter or Saturn would be next, those are not "very hard", but impossible to colonize. Anyway, we should absolutely give it a try as being confined to eating, pooping and replicating without advancing has 100% chance of extinction on long term.
@@Daniela-pr7rz Jupiter and Saturn have plenty of moons that could be just as colonizable as Mars tho. The problem is that with current technology the trip to the outer planets is still too long. As of your nuclear winter point, even in the worst case scenario it would not render our entire planet uninhabitable, but it could make life miserable for most people. Now what you need to understand about living in a lifeless planet like Mars is that the domes and living conditions would be super cramped and stressful, even privacy is a luxury and even the oxygen you breathe is accounted for. Going "out on a walk" to clear your head is not a possibility either unless you're in a spacesuit. And you can't just go back to Earth either, since the trip home is 7 months long at best. I absolutely want humanity to thrive and reach for the planets and the stars, but we have to be realistic and cautious about it. It's not just a matter of giving it a try, but improving our society and tech to the point that colonizing the solar system will feel like a cakewalk.
@@Gabriel-br4qe These moons are even cooler than Mars. Several of Jupiter's moons are located in Jupiter's radiation belts and have such high radiation that humans will only survive minutes before they will die.
@@abstuli It's true, however there are also some of these moons that could be reasonable candidates. Jupiter's moon Ganymede for example has a natural magnetosphere, the best radiation shielding that a space body can provide. But the trip to Jupiter is 3.5 years at the very least with current technology. Good enough for unmanned missions but terrible for crewed ones.
@@timwest1072 The statement "what have you done compared to Elon" Well, I have not pretended that I started Tesla, I have not hyped a Business with false claims of products, I have not been given Government funding to keep my Space Business alive on false claims. I have not purchased nearly half the available shares in a Solar Roof business from my cousins using my Space Business money (government money) I then not purchased the whole of that same Solar Roof business from my cousins using Tesla shareholders money, so basically (moving government money into Tesla) I have not tried to manipulate the stock market by tweeting insider information about my company. I have not pump Crypto currency on Social Media after the SEC fined me. I guess I have some morals.
Scientists have been wrong about almost everything for years, they constantly correct themselves why are they any different? people have ideas and not all of them pan out, at least hes trying, what are you doing to help?
Elon is away with the fairies. He’s not the genius his disciples like to think he is. He’s an entrepreneur that took a few lucky turns in life. He has the personality of a brick and the charisma of a slab of MDF. Also, his preoccupation with Trump and his anti-democratic agenda must be a distraction right now.
"I think we should prioritize sending robots to other planets to gather essential minerals, rather than sending humans. Human exploration should come second. For now, we should focus on saving the Earth first".
I think we can do both - a lot of modern technology and knowledge was learned or created by exploring space, often firsthand. ... That said, I wouldn't expect a showboating narcissist preoccupied with Twitter feuds to give humankind any of that.
@@HowlingWolf518 Perhaps we could find a middle ground. We could continue to invest in robotic space exploration while also developing the necessary technologies and infrastructure for human missions in the future. This would allow us to maximize the benefits of both approaches
You obviously dont know what you are talking about. **Solar radiation would kill you before you get there)** I don’t know if you noticed but you are in a rocketship. On mars there will be bases, so you dont have to go outisde
@@bicct2450 You did not look up what it would take to protect you. On Earth we have Earth's magnetic field. It begins at a height of 60 km, extends up to 3 or 4 Earth radii, and includes the ionosphere. To replace this one can use water or concrete, but it would need to be 12 feet thin with no windows. Some do not think this would be enough protect your digestive system, that may need more protection. On the moon, they were protected by earth, that is how massive the Earth's magnetic field. I am retired from the space industry.
So we aren’t trying to fix things on earth? And why can’t we do both? The scientific breakthroughs made by colonising mars would most definitely help solve problems here on earth.
@@absiddique139 getting them back is the problem. Smart robots need to go ahead first and build habitats, then there won't be a need to bring them back. If the robots are that smart though, we may not be welcome.
No one born in the next 100 years who doesn't become a super top expert in something related to working in space or a colonisation program will have to worry about ever setting foot on Mars. Ordinary people won't be going there for centuries, if ever. Of the experts who *do* go some day, many of them will be driven mad by life on a totally inhospitable world. Constant worry about radiation, temperature, the integrity of shelter, the availability of food and water plus the insane winds and sand storms, the differences in day length and gravity, the confinement to small spaces with other people, the near-impossibility of real-time communication with Earth and the inability to leave at will is going to annihilate even the toughest professionals. Hell - working in Antarctica for a year is enough to send a lot of people off the deep end. Mars will be like that dialled up well past 11.
What? I believe a million people at Mars will happen next 80 years or so. I believe in Elon Musk a lot. Look how far Space X has come. Breaking records after records each year and are growing so quick that nobody else can keep up. To then get those space ships to Mars and back safely is the hard part. But once that’s under control with minimal risks and cheaper transportation I believe humans building its first city on mars is 100 % gonna happen
A recent investor lawsuit against Tesla was dismissed when the court agreed with Tesla's lawyers that Musk's statements were mere corporate puffery that would be taken seriously by a reasonable person.
Would be or wouldn’t be? Regardless it’s basically protecting a scam artist with the argument that nobody would be scammed by the scams, regardless of the millions of victims
@@Daniela-pr7rz Pointing out somebody is lying grifter is better than being a lying grifter. There is no magical future on mars. The endless resources needed to keep people alive on mars would be infinitely better used to improve earth. Elon built a good mid sized car company. Everything else he sells is vaporware bullshit. Ask the people who sunk billions into the boring company.
“A magnetic shield is critical to preserving Earth's atmosphere and habitability. Without it, Earth would resemble Mars.” All the problems pointed out could be solved but it would be a colossal waste of time and effort since Mars lacks an Earth like magnetic shield.
We may not be able to build a planet scale magnetic shield. But it is easy to build a local magnetic shield. Go google "CREW HaT: A Magnetic Shielding System for Space Habitat".
There is one particular problem not mentioned here, that we can't even solve on Earth, psychological distress. There is a reason why the longest stay on the ISS is less than one year, and it isn't just the bone density degradation, Scientists are effectively worked to exhaustion every day, to keep them from thinking too much about where they are, and how precarious their survival is. We have a base in the Antarctic, which has a breathable atmosphere, gravity, water, rescue solutions just a few hours away, but the scientists have to be rotated out every few months because of severe psychological distress. When the resupply and shift change flights are delayed due to bad weather, there is an emergency stash of alcohol at the base, and the scientists are advised to get blind drunk, every day, until relief arrives.
2050? LOL i’m pretty sure none of us are going to see humans on Mars. When I was a kid, we had men walking on the moon now I am 60 years old and we haven’t even been back there. You do the math! Great show guys!
There is a lot of oxygen there but it’ll take tons of energy to break the chemical bonds that binds the oxygen to other elements such as iron. However humans get very sick and will die if pure oxygen is breathed for extended periods. Earth air is 80% nitrogen and that is rare on mars.
@@josephwolf7552 only because of lack of gravity, which is not that big of an issue on Mars (hopefully). I think it's great that are people out there willing to explore , the first people who agree to that one way ticket are heroes, imo.
Humanity will die even before reaching mars... I am not a pessimist, but the rate at which we are destroying our planet, we need to think about sustaining it first rather than showing something that is out of our reach.
yeah back in the 80s the climate experts LOL said we only had 20 more years to live and now 40 years later they are still using the same scare tactics.... We aren't doing much to this planet after all..
Honestly the best thing we can do for earth IS to go to mars. And by going to mars we literally will have to start from the opposite end. Creating it to be like earth. It would cause us to think outside the box and learn how to stop using all the toxins we do that are killing the planet.
As long as we got egocentric leaders around the world thinking about how to get richer rather then saving the planet then this choice to colonize mars is the best option. Elon isn’t getting controlled the way the population on earth is getting controlled. To save humanity if an earth changing catastrophe is happening then I believe Mars is the right choice even if it sux too… Who would want to leave earth for Mars? Right? But still… I don’t believe in the good of those leading our planet right now.
Not only is it a lie, but it's a stupidity, too. What are we doing planning to live on Mars if planet Earth hasn't fully been explored yet. Lol. We're still not even type I civilization, and we're already thinking about settling on another planet? What are we doing? Fix our home planet first before moving to the next.
What can I say, Human are selfish. People who have the power to change our world don't care about our world. They only care about themselves. And let me add that human are also dumb. Well most people are anyway. Anyone who is willing to spent 10 mins to learn anything about the science behind space travel will immediately call out Elon Musk bullshit. But for some dumb reason, people idolize him and will believe anything he said.
I would have thought that there would be more dislikes from the Elon d riders. Only 97 at the time of this posting. Elon has lied to all of us, i cant believe at one stage i thought he was smart. The then opened his mouth and the idea quickly dissipated.
I was too, I think his fan base has shrunk to a fraction of its peak. Every time he misses a deadline, more people dive into his timelines and realize how ridiculous they are. I think Destin from smarter every day did a talk where he talked about refueling for a mission to mars and the 20+ launches it would take that shaved off a pretty good chunk of die hard. Thunderfoot and common sense skeptic have gotten pretty popular debunking a lot of what elon has claimed and shown how he spins his losses point by point. I think that's why he is betting on Trump so hard, he is desperate to keep the funding coming. If Trump doesn't save him, he will probably have issues with nasa.
@@GymRhythmsMotivation Elons sells vague space dreams to investors and more importantly the US government and makes even more money. That's the real plan it's a grift.
@@GymRhythmsMotivation Not if you can get the federal government to fund a for profit company to do it. A 10 or 15 percent profit margin is a few hundred billion in Elons pockets.
Elon makes me laugh, seriously, he’s a funny guy: we can’t handle climate change on Earth and he wants to terraform another planet… This guy needs a wake-up call…
Musk needs to get his Cyber Trucks here on Earth working first, and a car that will operate if it’s Cold, Hot or if you go through a puddle of water 🤦🏽♀️.
There's nothing interesting on the Moon. Yes, it was an accomplishment that we made it there, but it really is just a barren desolate rock. What I'm most interested in is the eventual exploration of the moons of Jupiter.
@@DBWave94If you taking only about going to a another planet for prestige then yes the moon is boring ... But if you're talking about resources, infrastructure, and colonization then the moon is a must for dozens of reasons ...
A planet with no water. No air and atmosphere, no magnetic field can replace earth? Humans will live in special camps. Like they're jailed . Earth is the only home. Its magical and beautiful 😍
@@greygrizzlyoutdoors1764 And when its uneven orbkt rotates mars to its furthest away from the sun and temperatures to hundreds of degrees below zero what's your little plan for human survival?
There is actually nothing sinister behind it. Scientists often exaggerate possibilities to receive more funding. This is very normal and even a good thing because it accelerates the process of achieving their goals. Imagine if someone told you that something would take hundreds of years to accomplish-would you be interested in funding or even researching it to make it happen? Probably not, because you would never see it with your own eyes. However, it is still better to be optimistic about these things. Elon Musk is passionate about his work, and as a result, he is going to live a life full of passion, which is certainly a life worth living. ----- Without optimism in the human's body we would never be as far as we are today
The answer is: FUSION! Not only would we have all the power we need from all the household fusion devices we will take with us to Mars, but plants and animals love fusion too! And as fusion is a panacea, it can probably help us with the cosmic radiation and low gravity problems too! Just throw some FUSION at it and voila…no more problems! Well except maybe for John Carpenter’s ghosts
This video really made me rethink what I knew about Elon Musk's Mars settlement plan. While the idea of a multi-planetary future is appealing, this video points out some practical issues that we need to consider more closely.
the person estimates sending 100 people every 26 months, but he is forgetting that we can send multiple starships at a single time as well. obviously we are not going to send them now or in 10 years, but improving the tech, we might be be able to increase the number to 300 in 20-30 years. but we need a backup option, please dont get influenced by the video. This person is not contributing anything to society, he not only wants to save earth nor go to mars. He will make views of his video and enjoy life.
Humans can't live in mars what is the point of going to mars. Protect earth by planting more plants and make earth more green. Save earth, it will save us
We can't live in Mars doesn't mean we don't have to explore it but sending people over there is also absolutely bullshit (currently) And also earth will still kill us at some point even if we worship her😂 we are in due for multiple natural disasters💀
Four million years ago, there was a group of apes leaving the trees, exploring the unfamiliar grasslands. They are our ancestors. Those stayed in the forests become chimpanzee.

The first English colonist died almost from hunger. The Native Americans helped them to improve the soil. 👉The initial required material must come from Earth. The rest will be locally extracted on Mars.
U know, i dont hate Elon so much, BUT...im not even sure this guy has the slightest idea what space travel is. Im not necessarily as smart as Elon, ill be the first to admit, however, even i understand transfer windows between launches. And hell, some random dude pointed out a major fallacy in his rocket design just by looking at the math....with all due respect to Elon, his ambitions greatly outshine his abilities, but hey, shoot for the stars they say
@@bunny1780 He's A a drug addict and B a grifter who will say anything to seperate investors and governments from their money. Remember that robot taxi launch in august that just happened to reverse that big drop in Tesla stock?
I'm really glad you made this video. Elon isn't the designer of most of his companies, he's just a slightly Autistic capitalist building 💰 from his tribes of real creators. His change politically and his statements since 2014 tainted my opinion enough to realize he's not that learnedly smart or people smart, instead more like a salesman trying to pitch things to fool his fanbase rather than to really advance humanity. (Gwen Shotwell is the real reason SpaceX has become the top launch provider and trusted by the US government and military.) A few O'Neal cylinders rather a million walking dead on poisonous Martian soil by 2029 would better serve to save humanity from his greatest hits list, and Starship could be a very big part: First by making a moon base to both exploit resources and learn how to better survive in space, then helping gather asteroids for O'Neal cylinder resources and building them in less time (2060 to 2100) than terraforming Mars (starting 2035 to 3200}, and for less 💰. All this from research and IMHO.
And I expect to be criticized by Musk fanboys and girls because that's what happens when you don't agree Elon is always right or a super being (I always said he was a real life Tony Stark before I saw through it all).
@@travishylton6976 Agreed, 💯%! The problem is his Kool Aid needs rational thought to dilute it, and he is smart enough to spin things to seem like being on the edge of possible (like the rescue sub for the boys in the cave) to well-soaked sci-fi acolytes. It wasn't until I began deep research for a sci-fi novel series that I realized what he was doing. So, multiply time lines by a minimum of 1.5 , normally 2.25, costs by 1.5, and tech development by as much as 5 because he tries to be Tony Stark spread far too thinly over massively hyped projects. His Tesla people he has treated like indentured servants, the staff that made guardrails for Twitter like excess overhead, Boring company a rich-people express lane demo, and PayPal another stolen PR hype that he was barely a part of. His NDAs are vicious, he's used women (Grimes, even some employees) as incubators for his legacy (except for Amber Herd, who refused and broke up, breaking his heart.) SpaceX only survived and prospered because he HAD to hire and pass control to Gwen, Bill Gerstenmaier, and Tom Mueller to make it and understand how to sell it to NASA and the Pentagon. After his betrayal of Ukraine by switching off Starlink just before they could drone strike the Black Sea Fleet and piers he cost literally thousands of Ukrainian lives, military and civilians, by letting the missile ships escape to later attack far inland. That to me was his final flaw ... He fears Putin's propaganda so badly he runs away, thinks he's saving humanity when he is enabling a force that will kill millions of not stopped. That's what summed him up in a nutshell... A fearful opportunist who the Pentagon should force to agree to work with national security or be excluded from contracts until he does.
Going to Mars is an ambitious goal but starship certainly won't be the vehicle to bring humans there. He asking one vehicle to do to much, this isn't a trip to the moon we are talking about. It is 8 months one way in the best case and starship is not built for interplanetary travel, it is made to get large amounts of mass into orbit. You wouldn't use a crane to move people across the Atlantic Ocean would you?
Test: Build a self-sustaining city deep in Antarctica. Prove it's possible there. Work out the tech and techniques there. If you can't do that in Antarctica you sure as hell can't do it on Mars. Even exploring Mars with humans, much less building a self-sustaining base, if possible will almost certainly be accomplished by the Chinese. Such an endeavor requires societal, civilizational level resources, commitment and collective cooperation. Resources and cultural values the Chinese have, and that we in the West unfortunately do not. Our resources are hoarded by wealthy douchebags (like Musk) and far too many worship the supposed (though never proven) creativity of libertarian techbros (like Musk, again). Yet they somehow always end up sucking up public resources and contracts (despite their libertarianism and supposed rugged individualism) while very often failing to even meet the terms of the contract. For example, Musk having taken public dollars to send an orbiter around the Moon and back. A project that is years behind schedule and he that he is not even remotely close to producing the rocket and capsule tech (so still unproven he can even do it) for necessary. The "Dear Moon" trip was supposed to happen in 2025 iirc, yet Musk can't even get his Starship rocket to a successful Earth orbit without losing control and blowing up with ZERO payload. Musk is a fraud. Maybe the biggest fraud in human history. And a very likely a literal criminal fraud in regards to his promises regarding Tesla cars/trucks and FSD. A subject for another rant... ;)
There already is a base in Antarctica, it is manned throughout the year, but the scientists have to be rotated out every few months otherwise they develop severe psychological problems. The reason that scientists on the ISS are rotated off every few months is also not just because of the bone degredation from low gravity, but also due to the psychological stress. It turns out that humans are ill prepared for long periods of isolation, even on their home planet.
We don’t know really how many people would be willing to go to mars until it’s actually offered to them. Everyone sent there would need to have a trade because becoming self sustainable is very important, manufacturing and construction would be key
@@nordeenhasan8630 yeah mars wouldn’t be a nice place to live. Although a lot of people say they would go to mars, I don’t think they’ve 100% thought it through 😂 so good luck to Elon finding a million people willing to leave earth!!!
@@Colly1508 There is a reason why scientists get rotated off the ISS every few months, and why they are worked to exhaustion every day, to prevent them from dwelling on their isolation, the constant danger present, and the fact that it could be many months before a rescue could be attempted if things go seriously wrong. There is a base in Antarctica that is manned throughout the year, but scientists have to be rotated off every few months, because of the severe psychological distress that they suffer, and this base is on Earth, with gravity, a breathable atmosphere, plenty of water, and rescue just a few hours away.
Nobody will have a trade there because it will be impossible to live. Human bodies need our gravity. It’s only one third there so our bodies won’t survive long, even if they can survive the long trip there.
@@specialuser3455 Not true, Musk is not an engineer, he is a salesman, a very good one, but still just a salesman. He is only influential with people like himself, dumb people who know nothing about the subjects he spouts off about.

Elon is a bit out there , he'll love this suggestion , send a drilling crew and support crew , The mission is drilling a hole all the way to the centre of Mars, then placing a nuclear load calulated to render the Mars solid core to a liquid core , the reaction may setup a magnetic halo similar to earths , protecting the 1 million expected colonists or a program of robots to produce clones in underground habitats , and breed genuine Martians not governed by earth laws or traditions i believe its a non starter and Musk's delirium would be best be placated in the pages of sci-fi novels
Elon Musk didn't lie about living on Mars.....A million people on Mars by 2050 is a projected goal. Elon has achieved a vast number of his projected goals in each of his company's, from tesla to SpaceX, Star link, Neuro Link, Boring company and many more.
It's a video made by a youtuber. Don't take it seriously. The scientist who made world's most successful rocket doesn't know about the radiation and problems that have to tackle before going to Mars. Obviously they do and they do far more than any youtuber
@tinkumonikalita7459 The Van Allen belt is apparently a doosy. It boggles the mind that NASA has lost ALL of the research data, blueprints, technical orders, materials list, and composites required in order to get Buz and Niel through the V.A. radiation belt to get to the moon.....
Musk is a visionary who has already had great impact on the world. You guys are just critics who haven't accomplished anything. Every accomplishment starts with a dream. Every journey starts with 1 step.
I think Mask is just talking all this BS to motivate the story. For now his only real concern is getting Spaceship into orbit. Figuring out how to actually do all this stuff on Mars is pointless, given that even getting there is out of reach.
Radiation is the Biggest deal when talking about mars. Radiation is the reasonthere is no water left on mars and probably prevented life from starting on the once wet mars

@@zhchbob Because its infinitely less efficient than just using and reusing our existing resources better. If you can develop a robot to fly to mars and search for minerals that same robot can mine through a landfill for minerals for a fraction of a fraction of the cost.
Actually, it is a good idea to use nukes. 1) there’s nothing on marsh to damage. The nukes (several) wouldn’t be set off above the atmosphere so they act like many tiny suns and melt the ice. 2) if you don’t include the yellow cake then a nuke is just a big boom, no fallout. But the heat from the blasts would melt the ice at the poles. The actual concern is that it wouldn’t produce enough gas to thicken the atmosphere. So either more nukes would be needed or terraform another planet.
He's looking at possibilities and as of right now we are only limited by our level of technology. But that doesn't mean in the future we will still be limited.
The problem with your statement is that Musk said this will happen in just 5 years. Lol! Don’t believe someone who says “radiation risk ‘isn’t a problem’.” Musk is wrong. If he thinks radiation is no big deal, then he must be on his pretend starship. Let him risk his life with radiation. He is NOT an expert.
Our technology will be super advanced in 20 years, assuming there are no significant setbacks like societal collapse or that we don’t go extinct. There might be an AI singularity in the next decade or thereafter, and when that happens, a lifetime of scientific, technological, and medical discoveries/breakthroughs will be happening in a single day.

@@toxicflame2902 How many people currently live in underground cities? There are very good reasons why it's never been done on Earth, because no one would choose to live in one. There are millions of problems to solve before we can even think of making a base on the moon, and the moon is only 3 days travel away from Earth, but aside from that, there is one very good reason why Humans may not be capable of living on another planet, and that reason is psychological. Humans can not live for very long in Antarctica, they have to be rotated off every few months, and the bases there have a breathable atmosphere, gravity, plenty of water, humans can even survive outdoors with just warm clothing, and rescue is just a few hours away in case of an emergency, but the psychological stress of living in an isolated base is extreme. Not to mention the ISS, which has even more problems, including bone degredation due to low gravity. There is a reason why the record habitation on the ISS is less than a year, because humans go crazy when isolated from civilization.
Every inch of land was literally inhabitable before the first fish landed on the soil. Every acre of savanna was dangerous to the apes before they started to walk upright and invented stone tools. You stay in water, you are fish forever. You stay in forests, you are apes forever.

I absolutely want humanity to thrive and reach for the planets and the stars, but we have to be realistic and cautious about it. It's not just a matter of giving it a try, but improving our society and tech to the point that colonizing the solar system will feel like a cakewalk.
@@Gabriel-br4qe These moons are even cooler than Mars.
Several of Jupiter's moons are located in Jupiter's radiation belts and have such high radiation that humans will only survive minutes before they will die.
@@abstuli It's true, however there are also some of these moons that could be reasonable candidates. Jupiter's moon Ganymede for example has a natural magnetosphere, the best radiation shielding that a space body can provide. But the trip to Jupiter is 3.5 years at the very least with current technology. Good enough for unmanned missions but terrible for crewed ones.

No one born in the next 100 years who doesn't become a super top expert in something related to working in space or a colonisation program will have to worry about ever setting foot on Mars.

Constant worry about radiation, temperature, the integrity of shelter, the availability of food and water plus the insane winds and sand storms, the differences in day length and gravity, the confinement to small spaces with other people, the near-impossibility of real-time communication with Earth and the inability to leave at will is going to annihilate even the toughest professionals. Hell - working in Antarctica for a year is enough to send a lot of people off the deep end. Mars will be like that dialled up well past 11.

There is one particular problem not mentioned here, that we can't even solve on Earth, psychological distress. There is a reason why the longest stay on the ISS is less than one year, and it isn't just the bone density degradation, Scientists are effectively worked to exhaustion every day, to keep them from thinking too much about where they are, and how precarious their survival is. We have a base in the Antarctic, which has a breathable atmosphere, gravity, water, rescue solutions just a few hours away, but the scientists have to be rotated out every few months because of severe psychological distress. When the resupply and shift change flights are delayed due to bad weather, there is an emergency stash of alcohol at the base, and the scientists are advised to get blind drunk, every day, until relief arrives.

One fatal flaw
Mars does not have oxygen
While I am no doctor , I am pretty sure you need oxygen to live
there is no oxygen in space either , but we have people living on the iss
Theres multiple ways to produce oxygen. And its possble since one of the rovers was able to convert co2 into oxygen
There is a lot of oxygen there but it’ll take tons of energy to break the chemical bonds that binds the oxygen to other elements such as iron. However humans get very sick and will die if pure oxygen is breathed for extended periods. Earth air is 80% nitrogen and that is rare on mars.

However, it is still better to be optimistic about these things. Elon Musk is passionate about his work, and as a result, he is going to live a life full of passion, which is certainly a life worth living.

Going to Mars is an ambitious goal but starship certainly won't be the vehicle to bring humans there. He asking one vehicle to do to much, this isn't a trip to the moon we are talking about. It is 8 months one way in the best case and starship is not built for interplanetary travel, it is made to get large amounts of mass into orbit. You wouldn't use a crane to move people across the Atlantic Ocean would you?
Video fordot counted refulig starships......
Test: Build a self-sustaining city deep in Antarctica. Prove it's possible there. Work out the tech and techniques there. If you can't do that in Antarctica you sure as hell can't do it on Mars.
Even exploring Mars with humans, much less building a self-sustaining base, if possible will almost certainly be accomplished by the Chinese. Such an endeavor requires societal, civilizational level resources, commitment and collective cooperation. Resources and cultural values the Chinese have, and that we in the West unfortunately do not. Our resources are hoarded by wealthy douchebags (like Musk) and far too many worship the supposed (though never proven) creativity of libertarian techbros (like Musk, again). Yet they somehow always end up sucking up public resources and contracts (despite their libertarianism and supposed rugged individualism) while very often failing to even meet the terms of the contract. For example, Musk having taken public dollars to send an orbiter around the Moon and back. A project that is years behind schedule and he that he is not even remotely close to producing the rocket and capsule tech (so still unproven he can even do it) for necessary. The "Dear Moon" trip was supposed to happen in 2025 iirc, yet Musk can't even get his Starship rocket to a successful Earth orbit without losing control and blowing up with ZERO payload.
Musk is a fraud. Maybe the biggest fraud in human history. And a very likely a literal criminal fraud in regards to his promises regarding Tesla cars/trucks and FSD. A subject for another rant... ;)
There already is a base in Antarctica, it is manned throughout the year, but the scientists have to be rotated out every few months otherwise they develop severe psychological problems.

Still mad that Elon Musk bought Twitter? Lol.

It's not About Mars. It's about asteroid mining. That star ship today is a cargo Ship tomorrow .
This is an intelligent direction to take space travel. After all, asteroids visit us frequently enough. It is just a matter of a rendezvous, or blasting off a section of the passing asteroid.
People: hell yeah im going to mars!
Me: nah earth is better for life
The fact is, who on earth gonna go to Mars tho? Lol
Alot of people will go

@@Anonymous-pr1bx dude. u are rly dumb :* Its not Elon getting new things - he didnt explore anything - he got lucky having a lot of money and hiring smart people. he isnt the smart guy, its his employes.

Just look at cybertruck, its a disaster
@Anonymous-pr1bx You bot can't even insult right, like what, you didn't do anything either, neither really did Clown Musk, that's not even an argument.
Automatic thumbs up for calling it twitter. THANK YOU!
We ain’t ever going to Mars! Not Today, Not Tomorrow, Not next year, Not next decade, not next century, not ever!
How tf do you know
What an idiotic thing to say.
We'll definitely go there eventually, just a matter of when
Mars = cold Saudi Arabia without known resources
😂
Elon is a bit out there , he'll love this suggestion , send a drilling crew and support crew ,
The mission is drilling a hole all the way to the centre of Mars, then placing a nuclear load calulated to render the Mars solid core to a liquid core , the reaction may setup a magnetic halo similar to earths , protecting the 1 million expected colonists or a program of robots to produce clones in underground habitats , and breed genuine Martians not governed by earth laws or traditions i believe its a non starter and Musk's delirium would be best be placated in the pages of sci-fi novels
I am open to any idea, fiction or non-fiction, realistic or unrealistic, that's the only way we can reach new frontiers
Even the ones that will kill people, such as "radiation isn't a problem"?
@@GunUDwnAt2nd Yes! Which means we just need to find a solution
@@vascodagama6310 lol
Elon Musk didn't lie about living on Mars.....A million people on Mars by 2050 is a projected goal. Elon has achieved a vast number of his projected goals in each of his company's, from tesla to SpaceX, Star link, Neuro Link, Boring company and many more.
It's a video made by a youtuber. Don't take it seriously. The scientist who made world's most successful rocket doesn't know about the radiation and problems that have to tackle before going to Mars. Obviously they do and they do far more than any youtuber
@tinkumonikalita7459 The Van Allen belt is apparently a doosy. It boggles the mind that NASA has lost ALL of the research data, blueprints, technical orders, materials list, and composites required in order to get Buz and Niel through the V.A. radiation belt to get to the moon.....
Musk is a visionary who has already had great impact on the world. You guys are just critics who haven't accomplished anything. Every accomplishment starts with a dream. Every journey starts with 1 step.
Tahr Forming Mars would be hard without a magnetic shield
Do more of these and you will realise life on earth was designed
Mars is hell without us. We do not need to go there and mess it up.
I think Mask is just talking all this BS to motivate the story. For now his only real concern is getting Spaceship into orbit. Figuring out how to actually do all this stuff on Mars is pointless, given that even getting there is out of reach.
it would not surprise me if we had a milion people on Mars by 2050, nor would it surprise me if we have no one on Mars by 2050.
No chance of the former, 100% on the latter. There are insurmountable problems, problems we barely understand, yet alone have solutions for.
Damn I never thought of that 😅
Radiation is the Biggest deal when talking about mars. Radiation is the reasonthere is no water left on mars and probably prevented life from starting on the once wet mars
blud looks like elon musk💀
I hope humans on mars will do it better this time they can avoid the mistakes that they made on earth.
Not likely, as the current thinking on how to generate an atmosphere on Mars, is by creating pollution.
😆😆😆😆 Let say, God created Heaven and Earth. But God never mention about Mars. Why? Because of God never created Mankind in Mars 🤡. So let the NASA making agreement to Elon Musk about Mars as their second planet that there is no life there.
after the poll this video actually came faster than i thought
impressive
people have been exposing elon LONG before he bought twitter

We need to send unmanned fully automated robots and drilling equipment. Certain things need to be ready for people before we send people
Using earth's resources to build civilization on Mars 😅😅😂
why not?
@@zhchbob Because its infinitely less efficient than just using and reusing our existing resources better. If you can develop a robot to fly to mars and search for minerals that same robot can mine through a landfill for minerals for a fraction of a fraction of the cost.
The incorrect timeline predictions are not exclusive to Elon. This is how things go in the entire space industry in general- NASA included.
Its not a lie! Its a goal
Yep, you're so right with that, it's a goal!
Actually, it is a good idea to use nukes. 1) there’s nothing on marsh to damage. The nukes (several) wouldn’t be set off above the atmosphere so they act like many tiny suns and melt the ice. 2) if you don’t include the yellow cake then a nuke is just a big boom, no fallout. But the heat from the blasts would melt the ice at the poles. The actual concern is that it wouldn’t produce enough gas to thicken the atmosphere. So either more nukes would be needed or terraform another planet.
He's looking at possibilities and as of right now we are only limited by our level of technology. But that doesn't mean in the future we will still be limited.
The problem with your statement is that Musk said this will happen in just 5 years. Lol! Don’t believe someone who says “radiation risk ‘isn’t a problem’.” Musk is wrong. If he thinks radiation is no big deal, then he must be on his pretend starship. Let him risk his life with radiation. He is NOT an expert.
Our technology will be super advanced in 20 years, assuming there are no significant setbacks like societal collapse or that we don’t go extinct. There might be an AI singularity in the next decade or thereafter, and when that happens, a lifetime of scientific, technological, and medical discoveries/breakthroughs will be happening in a single day. There’s no predicting how advanced we will be as a civilization in 10 years, let alone by 2050.
@@thedannybseries8857 Dude what you're saying now, people used to say 20 years ago. Go and tell this to a real expert in AI, they'll laugh in your face.
The most hostile environment to humans on Earth is far more hospitable than the most hospitable location on Mars. Heres an idea, why dont we just let Elon go by himself first to check it out. It would be a lot cheaper and he can surely bump that timeline up. Lets saaay...a population of one on Mars by 2026(?)
I don't trust a word Elon Says
That is if you can make out actual words in his mumbling….
I did, Tesla/Musk made me a millionaire.
Since I was a kid I always was told mars had a really really weak magnetic field
Leading to a weak atmosphere that cannot protect us from the solar radiation
And thats true but people will most likely live in underground colonies instead of above ground but of course there would also have to be above ground modules but there wouldn't be sleeping quarters above ground.
@@toxicflame2902 So you fly millions of miles away to live in an underground prison for what purpose?
@@toxicflame2902 How many people currently live in underground cities? There are very good reasons why it's never been done on Earth, because no one would choose to live in one. There are millions of problems to solve before we can even think of making a base on the moon, and the moon is only 3 days travel away from Earth, but aside from that, there is one very good reason why Humans may not be capable of living on another planet, and that reason is psychological. Humans can not live for very long in Antarctica, they have to be rotated off every few months, and the bases there have a breathable atmosphere, gravity, plenty of water, humans can even survive outdoors with just warm clothing, and rescue is just a few hours away in case of an emergency, but the psychological stress of living in an isolated base is extreme. Not to mention the ISS, which has even more problems, including bone degredation due to low gravity. There is a reason why the record habitation on the ISS is less than a year, because humans go crazy when isolated from civilization.

Every planet in the the solar system is literally inhabitable.. except Earth , all that money Elon has and he couldn’t buy himself a clue smh
Every inch of land was literally inhabitable before the first fish landed on the soil. Every acre of savanna was dangerous to the apes before they started to walk upright and invented stone tools. You stay in water, you are fish forever. You stay in forests, you are apes forever.
Before you get to a million people, you have to get 1 first
So why is he saying all this if is not possible? Elon must be working with the best of the best on science. I like that he has ideas instead of saying is not possible. If we dont try, how would we succeed? Also i think we should hurry, because it feels like we can fucked earth at any day so we need to spread before is to late. Not only Mars but the moon, and all places possible.
Yup, this is exactly the same when he was starting his company and all about the e-cars. Everyone doubted him and was saying he will fail.
