“If we have the technology to terraform Mars, we have more than enough capacity to make our planet better for us to live again” - Neil deGrasse Tyson
And likely plenty of technology to colonize other star systems, either via sleeper ships or by that time already developing *some kind* of FTL travel. Which is not only better opportunity, it's also far more secure as it ensures humanity's survival should anything happen to Solar system at large.

@@Kuddochan if you want a game that involves terraforming a REALLY good one Terragenesis it even has different fractions with their own goals to achieve and you can colonize a whole bunch of different planets including random and custom ones if you pay a but extra (the base game is free though a lot of the game can be unlocked by beating different planets).

I once made like 3 super short vids on TerraGenesis
Same here, something that I've thought about on a few occasions. Honestly, that magnetosphere part is probably the biggest challenge, as it seems virtually impossible to re-liquefy the core of that planet and nearly impossible to add enough magnetism in orbit at L1 to actually shield the planet from solar winds. I haven't done the calculations, but I suspect you'd need an iron sphere the size of Earth's moon to provide that level of magnetism, or at least somewhere between terawatts to petawatts of power to generate that level of electromagnetism. We'll likely not live long enough to see any advancements in this area, but it's fun to dream :)
Aeturnalis hope fully we can find stuff when humans land on mars, maybe some compounds hidden in the soils.
Possibly even some stuff that could let us see mars isn’t dead, maybe if we were to pump heat into the core an old vulcano gets reawakened,
It is possible. That a planet is looking dead but is active on the inside. But what if the crust was massively compacted and it the core just got too weak to make vulcanos active? Then maybe some power from the outside could help. By weakening the crust by drilling holes in it, and injecting a massive amount of explosives in the holes and then inject all the heat
@@Aeturnalis I think building a giant iron sphere isn't the most efficient way to accomplish this. In principle, all we need is a bar magnet. I ruled out electromagnets because they seem to need way too much power, or not, depending on your calculations. But yeah. A permanent magnet would only need to be magnetized periodically, instead of constantly like an electromagnet. However, I don't think I can design a magnet like that. It'd have to be extremely strong and powerful.
The problem with this picture is that its not exactly clear just how much of that ancient water is left after billions of years of atmosphere depletion cased by the weak magnetosphere.
It could be that the majority of it has already been blasted off by solar wind. Current pressure is 1/100 that of earth. Mars has effectively lost its entire atmospheric mass of gasses many times over (since it was being replenished by regenerative outgassing from rocks and ice, which was all also lost). That includes water and its components.
There's still some remaining ice there, but even in the best case scenario restoring anything resembling these images of deep planet spanning oceans on Mars may not be possible anymore without adding new water.
I was thinking the same thing. Like we aren't even close to truly knowing what we have to work with there.
A reason why I stopped watching discovery science and others was because of the a matter of fact way they said everything. I enjoyed watching amateur videos created by scientists or even high quality production videos from organizations like NASA on youtube more. Now UA-cam is being inundated with main stream wanna be people with their a matter of fact dialog. I understand it sells but a little more humility would be great.
even if Mar have little Ancient Water left we can fixed that by importing the water from elsewhere and we got plenty of water in our Solar System, the Kuiper Belt asteroids, most of them made of ice, water ice, so just bring them to mars and bombarded them unto the planets, that's how Earth got her water
@@DarthMalgusSith_Lord Okay but with all that energy you'd spend moving asteroids you might as well just live in space colonies. Terraforming doesn't make any economic sense.
@@ObjectsInMotion well yeah, we need a stable home, a planet to lived on, to established a civilisation and to ensured our species survival

So it seems to me like the one big hurdle to overcome here is the construction and maintenance of dynamos to shield mars, everything else seemed to be a more or less natural process that we could potentially speed up as well.
Maybe bezos and musk could work together to get this done.
One catch is, notice how he mentioned that about half the atmosphere/carbon dioxide is locked up as dry ice? Mars has an incredibly thin atmosphere, so even if you released all the carbon dioxide on the planet you might still not have an atmosphere thick enough for humans. It's certainly a start, but we may want to supplement it. That being said, I hear we humans are pretty good at pumping carbon dioxide into the air...
@@benwest5293 Ive seen other videos, PBS Spacetime did one talking about this, where they crunched some numbers and decided that it likely wouldn't be possible to get the atmosphere thick enough. I think it was PBS Spacetime.
@@benwest5293 Its not good enough for humans probably, but it sure enough might be good enough for the plants or smaller animals which can be used to kickstart the ecosystem on Mars.

I wish we could go to Mars someday and terraform it, making it habitable.
NASA: "We declare that Mars has no oil"
America: *has left the chat*
Would mars have oil? Wouldn't that be a pretty good indicator of life in the past since oil is compressed organic matter?
@@Alice-si8uz yes because some scientists theorize that Mars once had life, so maybe the died organic matter would have compressed to form oil
oil is not evil. It's irresponsible use is. Without oil, musk wouldn't stand a chance. But he never mentions that.
i forgot the exact numbers, but to keep a tiny colony alive on mars will require 1000 re-supply missions every two years.
So we rape the earth so we can keep a handful of people alive on a dead planet!
1000 spaceships every two years requires lots of OIL!
But musk won't tell you that! Instead, packs of braindead morons try to convince the rest of us that musk is a genius.
i don't see it. Every time i watch musk talk i question whether he got past 3rd grade.
The guy who narrates this video watched too much total recall. Just like musk.
@@michael-dm2bv
He doesn't have to tell anyone oil is currently necessary. Anyone in the field and most people out of it can see it for themselves. And _virtually _*_everyone_* who's *anyone* in the big leagues of science knows Elon's intellect isn't rare in virtually every respect. He's just the man behind the project who's vaguely in charge of it.
The point is to change how much oil we need to use to do things, and eventually bring it to zero.

I'm sorry because this is an awesome video but this time you made some wild hypothesis here. The Mars Express image of Hebes Chasma is made in "false colors". This is not what it looks like in real life but a combination of filters of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) with an arbitrary color paletta that would make features of interest have a higher contrast. Thus, the green region is nothing related to life (in principle) and the blue regions are not water itself (misteriously captured just once). Nonetheless the OMEGA instrument onboard of Mars Express revealed gypsum to be present in the surface of Hebes Chasma; gypsum is a water-bearing mineral so it is easy to assume that Hebes Chasma once had water. But again you are not seeing wet lake beds here and the blue color is not what you would percieve as blue in real life.
If you want to take a closer view of those apparent "water flows" you should look at HiRise images from the MRO mission on the Hebes Chasma Region: www.uahirise.org/hiwish/view/9511
For example you can see here (hirise-pds.lpl.arizona.edu/PDS/EXTRAS/RDR/ESP/ORB_045700_045799/ESP_045736_1790/ESP_045736_1790_RED.abrowse.jpg), with a resolution of 27 cm/pixel, that the feature you point out in 11:01 is considered to be just a "dark landslide on northeast flank of Hebes Mensa", dark sand (proably not making dunes there and being smooth because of the slope).

Whili I enjoy the theoretical excercise, it always surprises me how some people really think living on Mars will be a thing in the future. Just imagine how much more costly it would be to change the martian athmosphere compared to prevent the earth climate from changing so much that Mars becomes a better place to live in.
Honestly we should try the upper sky of venus. High gravity, similar air pressure and temperature to earth, less radiation than Mars and dense lower clouds make floating airships possible.
Even if we somehow solved the massive problems like Mars dead core for example, gravity is an issue that we won't be able to solve, Mars just has way to low of gravity for any sort of long term settlement
If the U.S. discovers oil on mars the amount of money to maintain living their won't be an issue
"The only erosion feautures I** found"?? Holy mons you actually did a lot of research for this quality video! Thank you so much!
Mars has really good potential. It’s also really good because Mars is mostly co2 so if we just thicken the atmosphere we can keep mars warm. However the only challenge with mars is core is cold so it dosent have a magnetic-sphere but hopefully we can find ways. :)
Nukes baby!!
#nukethecore
He addresses this pretty early on in the video. We can place a dynamo at the L1 Lagrange point between Mars and the Sun and produce an artificial magnetic field there to shield Mars. You don't necessarily need to restart Mars' own magnetic field
@@benwest5293 its still theoretical
The problem with Venus is, it's closer to the sun. Terraforming a planet is a multi generational project (ie 100s of years if not 1000) and with each passing century sun is getting hotter so Venus will "soon" (in astronomical terms) fall off the inner edge of sun's habitable zone

Looks like a lot of work for this video. Well done!
I'm really enjoying this Mars series. Any chance at a Venus one after? I feel Mars is really recognizable, but Venus is hidden under thick clouds so I don't know much about it's geography.
It doesn't have much geography. The planet is so volcanically and tectonically active that any given point on the surface is short lived and doomed to be covered by lava flows or landslides
@@bluebonic3497 A quick google says that's false. Venus doesn't have tectonic plate. And while Earth's average surface age is 100 million years, Venus's is estimated at 300-600 million.

I'm glad you're digging deeper on this topic. The research on this one is crazy and visuals are great. Sometimes it's a little overedited though (like unnecessary effects) and the narration often sounds a little choppy

Love your Mars series! Can't wait for next video! Please don't be too late 😭
One of the best insightful videos I've seen to date on this subject.
Can't wait for the next one.
This video has a number of issues stemming from the assumption that enough ice and frozen gas remains on Mars to make terraforming possible. The issues are gone into in great depth in this video describing an actual in depth terraforming procedure: ua-cam.com/video/RcXBuYwm3xk/v-deo.html
Essentially though you can't terraform Mars without importing massive amounts of water as well as nitrogen and oxygen (potentially as co2 from Venus) from elsewhere. This is because most of the water and co2 that Mars used to have has been lost to the solar wind over time. Ultimately not enough co2 actually remains to create an atmosphere that would make liquid water possible. Mars also has weaker gravity than Earth, which means it actually needs a much thicker atmosphere to produce the same Earth-like atmospheric pressure.
Yeah it's a bit strange that he doesn't talk about the problems of terraforming at all.
Please just stop. Mars has permafrost all over. Research evidence by landers, rovers and martian meteorites. Some people really want to make things as difficult as they can, don't they, like Isaac Arthur you linked to - who makes SCI-FI fantasy videos not factual, realistic videos. I'm baffled you can't tell the difference.
@@strategicthinker8899 Firstly you don't address the lack of enough frozen gasses which is the bigger problem here. Secondly just because there's plenty of permafrost doesn't mean there's *enough* to support a whole hydrosphere with large above ground bodies of water. Maybe you should watch the video I linked because it actually runs the numbers rather than just going off of intuition.
For liquid water to exist 12 millibars of pressure is needed. Mars atmosphere is currently 6 millibars but in some really deep caverns on mars pressure reaches 12 millibars which indicates that even on present day mars liquid water on the Martian surface is possible. So creating enough atmosphere for liquid water on the surface of mars is possible considering the amount of dry ice at the Martian south pole
@@ryanhassett3733 even if we solve the water problem there's also the lack of a magnetic field and a dead core, which doesn't even seem possible to fix, and the even bigger problem we won't be able to fix (except through maybe genetic engineering) gravity, Mars gravity is way to low to have any long term settlements
I’ve played TerraGenesis so I can do this shit in my sleep
Your videos are always amazing my friend. Love it as usual. Such high quality stuff, PBS needs to sign you lol
I've always wondered this so thanks for making this video
I'm a researcher and my specialty is Mars. For the most part this is very good and accurate. I especially enjoyed the references to little-known features like Echus, Juventae, Welles, and Hebes. However, do a little research and you'll find photos from the ESA Mars Express orbiter of unimstakeable liquid lakes extant on Mars today; belying the party line that Mars is cold, dry and dead. (By the way, they have much better resolution and color than we ever get from NASA/JPL/MSSS). Also, I'm hoping for it to come in my lifetime, but I have yet to see any video about Mars that doesn't call it "The Red Planet". This is because of the over-hyped idea that the regolith is almost entirely iron oxide, which is ridiculous. OVERALL, the color is more like the Arizona desert. Thanks!
Study more, so far I see no mention of the need for nitrogen to create a stable atmosphere. Everywhere I see this sci-fi nonsense about 'terraforming' mentioned there is crickets about the vast amounts nitrogen needed.
@@frankderks1150 i gave you a thumbs up. there is nitrogen. 2.7% and the Argon is a noble gas at 1.6% but you make a good point about Nitrogen. I'm interested in seeing what they come up with.
Best way to make mars habitable? Scraping off the top layer of crust, and turning it into a space habitat.
Then scraping off the new top layer and doing the same.
And again.
And again.
And again.
By the end of it, you'll have several million earths worth of living area, all perfectly tailored to human specification.
Even to the ends of being giant multi-earth-sized zoos and ecosystems.

Fully terraforming mars would take centuries!
in view of the fact that any method of terraforming is unknown to humanity, you can decide for yourself how long it might take but if terraforming were possible then it would likely take a very very long while.

I think we are going to become cyborgs and will be able to live in space, inside artificial space stations, long before terraforming a whole planet to another earth.
we are probably gonna be dead, if humanity gets past its present issues someone in the future will potentially reach that level.
Maybe
Yeah turning a whole planet seems a bit far fetched tbh. Can someone remind me; why do we have to leave in the first place? Maybe just... idk, not start a nuclear war and destroy the planet? It’s going to get warmer on Earth wheather humans are here to accelerate it or not.
Well that was amazing. It'll probably take, at minimum, a few millennium to do. But damn do I want civilization to exist on Mars. It would be so cool.
That's pretty optimistic considering most professionals that study Mars say terraforming Mars is pure science fiction, some things just aren't possible. In all honesty Venus' atmosphere would be the best bet for colonization because you don't have to worry about one of the biggest problems with the idea of Mars colonization, the gravity being so low. Humans are evolved for the incredibly specific conditions on Earth, and even then we can only go about 5 miles up and about 7 down before we would die from lack of oxygen, high pressure or heat.
This was the best video I’ve seen on this, do a video on introducing biology next. Keep it up 👍
I love your mars videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Even if Mars isn't made habitable, just take me there now. Done with this damn planet. 😌
Happy to oblige.
Go to Antartica, it's the closest thing to Mars on this planet. It's cold, frigid and dry, just like the Martians like it.
If we could put some giant lightning rods that goes into the planets core and then create a molten center again. It should work to make a magnetosphere, and all the drilling that need to be done would generate pollution that would trap the suns heat. Thereby heating it both from within and from the outside.
If we did make an artificial magnetism it would make an atmosphere, therefore making the planet able to trap the suns heat,that would instantly trigger a chain reaction event with the core of the planet starting to melt and ice becoming water on the surface etc.

Give this man NASA science team, Bezos' bank account, and Musks' technology and we're pretty much set
The production levels of my favorite UA-camrs are so high rn
Appreciate the work my dude, keep it up ✌🙏
Or, insted of trying to reach Mars, you coud aim for the Moon
mars is more habitable than moon. moon is literally just a big rock. mars has atmosphere, soil, ice and stuff
@@balashibuyeeter2704 but who says that se have to terraform the Moon? Build a base there, mine a bit, and send stuff to Mars
we can't go Mars immediately. maybe the moon will be used as some kind of port.
@@oktilian1873 made sense. thought you were talking about terraforming moon

This video video was made in collaboration with Elon Musk
Maybe not only elon musk but other companies too
Nah, Elon's steps would have been: 1. Nuke Mars 2. Success

Ew no thanks
Apart from how great the video is in general, I love love love the background music on this. Adds a great sense of ethereal atmosphere without being overpowering (cue war flashbacks to the azola video).
I found the background music was ok. He seriously needs to adjust his levels as there are times where you can barely here his own voice over the music.
Always awaiting your videos
It's sad Mars lost most of its water when its magnetic field "Disapeared".
Sadly even if we could create a new magnetosphere, the geological activity that Mars still presents is unlikely to create an atmosphere with the rigth pressure to allow liquid water to flow. We could however direct icy meteorites to the planet therefor warming it and releacing both water and some gases
the answer is nukes lol
I realy dont get all of that Mars hype. Even if we use all these resources and more to terra form completely, mars will still not be an an atonamasly functioning Planet. Because of gravaty. The only way to change the gravaty on mars is 1. Add more mass or 2. Live in in rotating weel like citys. What is frankly speaking crazy. You can live on mars under the earth like a caveman and mine minarels and that's fine it will be profitable but only outposts are possible as a person cannot live their intire live with dutch low gravity and nobody wants it. As that brings health problems with it like heartfailior, blindness, savere osteoporosis ect. You also shouldn't get pregnant as that could kill the mother and the kid. We should not spend resources on something that is not possible anyway. If we terra form anything in the solar system then that should be venus as that is the only planet that is as big our planet and thus would have the same Gravaty if terra formed.
Did you watch the video?
@@chadleach6009 yes and he didn't sad one word about Gravaty.
@@sapereaudediogenes7282 what's the problem with gravity? It might not be ideal for human development but we certainly can survive there.
The magnetosphere problem is a myth, at least on human timescales, we do not need to give mars a manetosphere as long as we dont live for hundreds of millions of years.
What makes you believe that we would not want to live for hundreds of millions of years.
@@death_parade With our current technology trying to take care of more then a few millenia ahead, is idiotic and a waste of resources.
Yp. Very true. At least one commenter here is woke and not regurgitating old science from the 1980s. Congrats.
It can still be a problem because there can still be radiation and the atmosphere could be stripped much faster than that. We should do the L1 magnetic field thing or place ultra powerful magnets at the poles
@@therealspeedwagon1451 How exactly do you belive it could be gone in a short amount of time, when we know for a fact that it took hundres of millions of years with similar conditions to deplete it in the first place, this makes no sense only a very close/powerful gamma-ray burst or close super nova could do that.
The reason for a magnetosphere sattelite would be to provide some shielding while we create the atmosphere, not to prevent its errosion.
Awesome graphics! Love the video. Hope to see one about doing same on Moon in the future.
Production quality is off the charts! Are all of this graphics solely done by you @atlaspro?
Hard to comprehend, when even most feature documentaries don't go to this level of texture detail and in constructing the future to boot!
Yeah how about we save our own planet first
Why need earth when you can have Mars imperialism
@@realyoriginalchanel3218 why have Martian imperialism when you can have galactic imperialism
How about not storing our eggs in one basket, that’s the real problem, why not have a backup when things get out of hand, whether that’s climate change or a virus or nuclear war, anything
Our own planet is fine. Stop buying the lies of corrupt politicians and activists who have made billions profiting off the global warming hysteria
@@aespa690 it is not. Climate change is real and it’s going at a much faster pass than it normally does. We should be worried and we should stop it but that doesn’t mean we can do other things while we stop it
Humans: plans to terraform mars
Also humans: can't even save own planet from destruction
it hasn't gone yet though so no immediate need for earth 2.0
What destruction?
@@strategicthinker8899 He asks while Oregon and California are engulfed in fires so extensive that the sky in big cities glows orange with the flames and light levels are dimmed by the smoke. Have you not seen it on the telly ? Australia's turn later in the year. 500,000 ordered to evacuate in Oregon amid extensive property loss.
@@pasoundman oh no btw earth has been much warmer and life flourished its gona be fine
@@petarkukuljica4372 It's also been much colder in the past too ! Your point ? Life on earth will *ADAPT* as it always has. The best adaptation might be a radical reduction in population actually.
Atlas Pro I love your channel. your doing a great job man. educating people for free and that is work that is honourable.
I was supposed to read Guns, Germs, and Steel over the summer but I didn't and all your videos have the answer to the questions I needed for class. Thanks!
Considering that we really only have about 2 to 3 centuries left at best before we render our planet uninhabitable to humanity, it's quite obvious that a transition to Mars is necessary in order to preserve our species. The biggest challenges will likely not be solvable in that time frame - magnetosphere, breathable air, and perchlorate concentrations, which wasn't addressed. Honestly, it's in our best interest to start our feeble attempts at stabilizing Mars now while simultaneously working to preserve habitability on the planet that we evolved on.
...and triggered bootlicker conservatives will appear in ...3 ...2 ...1 lol
Great as always!
Its interesting to see how much more official the voice sounds in each video.
really upping your game on the vids lately
