Pretty nuts when you here Scott Kelly even say "I wouldnt want to go on the one way trip." A guy who has spent more time in space than anyone else. He knows anyone is going to want to come back. They would for sure go crazy.
Actually, the humam who spend most time in space was Sergei Krikalev. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Krikalev
Nope...its this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gennady_Padalka
Not true, he is 5th, and tied with the Russian he did the year long mission with. there are four other Russians that had longer missions then a year. To put it differently to avoid confusion, those four men all spent longer consecutive days in space than Scott Kelly.
russian spend over 400 days straight in space usa and europe lie in media

lol
I really like this space related stuff
awesome, we really like making these videos.
+zentouro exactly, no gimmicks, no cooomplex set ups, just good information = ).
make spaceship not war!!
Give the man a PS4 and a few games and he'll be fine by himself.
Truth.
OMG I was thinking the same
Too much of a chance for a win 10 update while offline or controller disconnecting while in mid-fight :( LOL I'm playing. Give the man just one game Eve Online and he'll get to Mars way before finishing the game.
I don't know about that online part tho lol. He would have the worst connection in space. His ping would be at or over 9000 which wouldn't even be fair.
aurelius7778 he would need some internet and a ethernet cable to have more fun.
Is anyone else really interested in space? Like it is an overwhelming feeling. I just want to learn more about it and explore it and see it.

Same.
getting in front of a green screen is all you're going to do kid.
@@GisherJohn24 HAHA OMG YOU ARE SO FUNNY how old are you, six?
@@theveled0178 how old are you going to be when you realize space is made in a Hollywood basement? It's sad you're defending it.

According to you space doesn’t exist? Denying the existence of our very own sun? By that logic, you also don’t believe in our own planet Earth. Have you ever even owned a telescope, let alone looked through one? Pretty impressive special effects 😂
You are in absolutely no position to insult any other intelligence other than your own.
His final words about the people who want to go on a one way trip to Mars having a change of mind at some point are so much true and epic.
i probably start freaking out as soon as we take off. idk how they do it for over a year...
Really fascinating hearing what he thinks about Mars one at the end there.
Because, Mars One is a fallacy.
#VoteMusk4Mars
So the best thing to do is stay on Earth and improve it.
Watching this gives me anxiety
then space is not your cut of tea
Yes, me too. They are making a lot of valid points in this video. Seem very scary and if something goes wrong halfway there.......
1. A mission to Mars does not require 2-3 years in microgravity. Any manned mission to Mars will use a low-energy transfer orbit, which takes 6 months and provides a free return trajectory. This is roughly the average length for a manned mission aboard the ISS.
2. Anybody who would get 'bored' on a mission to Mars should not be an astronaut.
that makes it at least one year plus surface time it does not matter right now though though because the radiation would just kill them
How can you say anyone who gets bored shouldn't be an astronaut, everyone gets bored, I'm sure if anyone was in space for a more than a few months constantly doing what astronauts do and dealing with what they deal with they'd get bored, and going to mars has even less luxuries with it, no gazing at Earth, contacting others on Earth, but hey, if you don't believe me, watch the video the guy who was in space for a YEAR has NO argument as to why astronauts shouldn't be bored

if you get bored in space... look out the window at the vastness of the cosmos. Then tell me youre bored.
I'm sure by the time we get journeys to Mars being a regular thing we'll have a lot of entertaining stuff.
He is an old dude who grew up long before texting and Facebook.
Newer generations are more used to limited human contact and communicating via instant messages.
Space Agencies that will be involved with the mission to Mars (I imagine it won't be just NASA this time) should work with Facebook, Twitter, Google and others, so they could get something that resembles the Internet and social networking.
I totally agree I would be so happy if I would have steam a nice pc and unlimited internet, speed is another thing but yes I think it will be easier passing by time with social networks
He isn't that old.maybe compared to you who is maybe 12 years old.
I don't believe that line of reasoning. No matter who you are being trapped in those cramped quarters for a year has got to be like solitary confinement. Not many gamers could deal with that either.
Scott's Kelly is the perfect example of why we need a rotating space station
I don't even know why I'm going to comment this but some how I really feel compelled to do so. Any way, this girl is so cute, and the atmosphere of the video kind of enhanced that. The black background and her cozy clothes, alongside with her voice, just made it so weirdly nice to watch this. Anyway, nice video.
Seeing the Earth from a Martian perspective (as a tiny speck of light) would most likely feel like you've died, or create a state of indescribable panic, knowing that you just ruined your only real life, to spend on a dead planet with 1% air pressure, freezing and is completely radioactive. You would hate yourself for making such a trip.
Alessandra, well done!. Team Verge again keep up the supreme video quality, this is why no doubt why you are the best right now for space news.
Psychological is one key aspect, new first time experiences in reality will test the phrase i read it somwhere "shape your will, body will follow." Honestly, the view of earth on the horizon of Mars is one hell/heaven(U decide) of experience.
Lastly, i think one way to solve 3 year loneliness issue is gather astronauts who love what they do and wont give up. (This doesnt mean current ones do not, they are and everybody who goes up love what they do but) By that mean, while doing the routine works they need to have hobby/love/passion of something that they can keep doing anywhere, anytime of life.
Hello, Alessandra The Verge.
He's been a year in low earth orbit, not in deep space.
sir I respect you so much...
so i have a bad day. the crew will jump me, tie me down just to dope me up. how bout a marijuana cookie.
thats an illegal narcotic and it will ruin his life along with getting him addicted to meth
I'd love to go to the ISS for a couple of days, but a year? No thanks. I think it takes a special kind of person to do that without cracking up.
Only if we had a way to make the trip a few months long will we really ever make serious progress on Mars I think. If you could tell astronauts. It's going to be three months there, you'll spend 6-9 months working, and then come back three months later, we'd have a lot more people wanting to go.
We're a LONG ways away from travel that fast though.
What kind of watch was Scott Kelly wearing in the interview?
Feel like VR can help with this
The_Maverick12 yeah
Un'italiana a the verge?! Grande!
Respect to those guys.
Cool video😎 I love the space related videos😍😍👌🏼
thanks! making them is a lot of fun.
Just Give him Movies to watch like The Moon , Mission to Mars , Aliens, and a bonus film The Shining
This is all expected concerns, that's why they recruit certain people. It's not for everyone, on that note what's up with the Majestic 12 team. Like if u know about MJ 12...
scott Kelly is the MAN!
Cool video but i feel a lot of things were said wrong, yes it could be a 2-3 year mission but most of that time would be spent on the surface of mars. So there would be gravity, even if its 1/3. having a surface to walk around and explore would definitely help with the astronauts depression. Also mars has a very similar day night cycle so sleeping should improve. most the problems they talked about would be for the time traveling to and from mars, which should be 8 or 9 months each way at most (the way there could be as little as 3 to 4 months) and these two long intervals of space flight would be broken in to two parts by an awesome stay on another planet.
This guy has always maintained that - " He does not want justone way trip to Mars " ; he does knw some secrets !!
The negative effects of microgravity can be avoided during a mission to Mars by creating artificial gravity. If they tether to the last spent stage of the rocket by a long cable and spin the habitat around, as shown in Mars Underground, they could create gravity similar to Earth or Mars.
If we go to mars will we take weapons just in case there might be something there ?
La prima italiana con accento Usa quasi xfetto complimenti Ale 👌✌🤞😎🙋♂️
Awesome!
Fascinating!
that last comment though
Nice vid..
trip to mars will be like jail. but worst.
Tuan X Nobody forces you to go to Mars, you are in prison against your will. That alone sums it up.
***** People are regularly attacked and sexually assaulted in prison what kinda group home is that? When you go outside "to stretch your limbs and breathe natural air" is when many of the fights happen. The suicide rate is triple the national average in there too.
We could argue all day what's worse for humans, all you've proven is that space isn't for you, which is fine. Scott Kelly spent a year in space but you don't see him having mental break downs and NASA has never had that problem in the ISS despite protocol for that scenario. People are fully aware of what their getting into when they go into space. Also NASA's immediate plans for mars don't outline staying for life. And yes trained astronauts can predict this, this isn't the middle ages, modern psychology knows the effects of stress and other factors upon the brain.
***** Obviously he trained and that's exactly my point. However you cannot testify on his behalf. You are thinking of mars one or SpaceX which won't likely be the first to Mars. NASA has no plan on the first trip to Mars to have them stay for life, at most for 18 months when they can leave do the planet's orbit position.
+Tuan X One might not return from minimum security prison, your safety isn't guaranteed there either maybe you don't understand that. Also maybe you don't know that air that is produced in says is more pure. Astronauts have daily interaction in space your point is irrelevant. Your whole point is subjective, it's not an absolute at all. Completely different environments. Do you think anyone who can survive in minimum security can survive in space? If it's not true both ways, not true at all. You don't care about NASAs missions shows your careless in making an argument.
Kept thinking of the movie 400 days
Graeat video! 👍👍
thank you :)
nope, that is ale. i directed the video though.
well that is what my business card says at least.
being alone is specialty, where do i signed up?
Well I heard that NASA had plans of making a fusition driven rocket which will take around 30 days
Brava!
naza😂😂😂😂
auuustronaught!
The Astronauts should bring a hardrive with millions of movies and video games for the 3 year voyage
It's perfect for INTP with few to no friends, they would not get depressed and will always function at 100%.
It takes 7 months to get to mars with the new rockets we got.
Just don't forget to pack in a dozen RPGs, or some long RTS games like the Total War series, as well as several thousand movies (should fit easily in a couple of harddrives), and they should be able to cope.
i would go insane for sure
Can I live in mars?
This is still a viable option for me
video games, VR etc
I like it just fine here on earth
Quarantine 2020
Now imagine that Mother Earth is now inhabitable after going to Mars.
I don't know how he did it tbh
Maybe someone needs to be in there longer 15 months in space could it work? Yet they say takes 7 months to get so would take them.7 months to get back? Ain't gonna happen yet
Wait what? Haldol 10 mg? They really want the breakdown to stop..!
What I head was die from sun or mars
Put me up there. I would be fine in a space ship. I'll study as hard as I can. Funny thing is, I'm not even jokin',
Leo Negron They don't let anyone in, its competitive.
Sign me up!!
The language and cultural gaps I view as barriers to conflict, not pathways; I for one can blame a LOT on that.
I think for Mars trip they have to have very real virtual reality. I bet 10 dollars that in 100 years, if not sooner, first astronauts are going to Mars.
How the heck did Christopher Columbus and the many other do it?! Get serious, do it already!!!
who's waching in 2017
With current technology it is long journey
Some prisoners have spent 30 years in solitary confinement in a room 8 feet by 6 feet... perspective folks... But Kelly seems a great guy..
I love her accent... Where is she from and name ?
Possibly Italian judging from her name.
She says in the video that she's from Italy.
She taught me it's pronounced "Nahh-zaaah".
She's so pretty!
hi
What? Where did they get 2-3 years of travel time? It supposed to be 3-3,5 years TOTAL with travel time back and forth and 2 years on the surface. It's especialy bad for Orion if they are talking about NASA plans, that thing is tiny. And there is no amount of exercises that can counter 2-3 years of 0g and have people be "battle" ready when they step outside the lander. Not a scientist here, but it doesn't feel right. The less travel time the better.
Houston we have a problem...
Give this man Dark Souls to play an he wont be able to finish it before arriving :D
mic above her head 3:34
Kelly took THOUSANDS of photos of the Earth from the ISS but he didn't take a single photo of the Milky Way Galaxy. Think about that for a moment.... After a full year, he didn't put his camera to the window of the ISS and snap a single photo of the most amazing and incredible object in space...WHY?
One of many, many questions. Another perfectly valid question is, why does NASA use virtual reality software to shoot its ISS videos? And why the constant loud background noise of ... jet engines? Air filtering systems can be whisper quiet, so that doesn't explain it. Again, what we actually hear in the background of those ISS "tour" videos are the engines of a zero-gravity airplane.
Kelly knows all this perfectly well, which makes him nothing more or less than a professional liar by trade.
You can't see the milky way galaxy because we are IN the milky way galaxy
@@stephandrake Stop talking rubbish
@@DrJones20 LOL you must live in New York or LA and can't see the night sky. As viewed from Earth and slightly outside of Earth, the visible region of the Milky Way's galactic plane occupies an area of the sky that includes 30 constellations. All of these constellations are plainly visible from the ISS at one time or another depending on it's location. When we look towards the galactic core, we see the Carina-Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
@@qssneaky Ok and what's your point? He should have looked at that? Why?
naice
Yup it will have impact. But 7monrhs later... If you hit Mars properly, you would come to Bahamas baby :D and depression would go away so fast... Because we know about Mars a lot :D
it takes 2 to 3 years based on current nasa technology. imagine if spaceX created a faster rocket.
Yeah and one day have anti gravity on it.
Its not really the speed that's the problem its the alignment of the planetary orbits. Going from one orbiting body to another as they both orbit the sun is complex and involves varying travel times depending on the phase of orbit everything is in.
BollocksUtwat i will only accept warp speed or transwarp
Ask astronauts is like asking the taxi drivers and bus drivers what cars shall be developed. If you asked the user of horses 120 years ago, what they need, they would answer: faster horses. Cars was not in their mind. Thanks god, Ford developed the affordable car without asking carriage drivers. Persons that will go to mars will have so much to day until they arrive so that it will be too fast even if it lasts 9 months. Additionally with BFR you have a lot of people with you and a lot of space inside the ship to move around. BFR will travel in 6 month or less to mars. The training for the first mars explorers should begin now. Otherwise they will not be ready when BFR is ready ... even it comes 4 years later (i.e. 2028 instead of 2024).
Nazzaaaa
Wow the engrish
It does not take 2-3 years to reach Mars. It takes 6 months. No idea where "2-3 years in micro gravity" comes from.
That's why VR is invented now. Give em some oculus rifts. Or develop an android robot astronaut first to give warm welcome on mars
it Will take 6 months not 2-3 years
Overview Effect
I'm just wondering. How is sending a group of people on one way trip to mars with their consent ok but euthanasia with patients consent isn't?
It is, because they will continue to live. Just on a different planet. Not that they ever will do a one way mission. By the time Mars One flies, there will already be a ride home waiting somewhere on the planet.
Mars needs some casinos , LOL ! ! !
Scott Kelly claimed he sleeps better and comfier on the ISS than in his own bed, on earth.
0:34 Yeah maybe a mission to Mars will last 2 to 3 years. But in that time the astronauts won't be in micro gravity the hole time! In takes around 6 Months or so to get to Mars. Then you have gravity back! Not as much as on Earth but a good amount! Then 6 Months return to Earth. So astronauts won't be in micro gravity for 2 or 3 years!
now is it Nasa(Naza) or Nasa(Nasa)?
Nasa is read naza in french and italian and it is is read NASA for English speakers,(i'm french speaker)
You won't spend 2 years in "microgravity" because about a year or more of that time will be spent in 38% gravity on Mars. "Micro-gravity" is zero-G.
I want to go to the moon of mars. Both mars and its moon or your not listening to me.
This mas is honest
Haldol is same stuff they use on schizophrenics
it will take 6 months to get there not 2-3 years lol 😁
I want to know what he was paid for that year
If we are going to spend a gazillion dollars on a science/engineering project, we should spend it on fusion energy research. Abundant, clean energy is something we can actually use. A man on Mars would be cool, but not worth it.
Michael McFeely NASA budget is tiny.
2 to 3 years to mars? You crazy gurl ?
Check up on your stuff before you do a video about it.
to go there, stay on the planet for a while, then come back 2-3 years is feasible
