      Superb construction. Detailed account of the pathways of Perseverance and Curiosity. What is sad, a 2 minute video of a funny dog or cat. though admittedly enjoyable, will attract 100 rimes more views. One point is that if one counts ice as water, there is about 5 million cubic kilometres of ice in the north ice cap, which if melted would cover the surface of Mars to an average depth of 5 metres.

    It was a wonderful journey again, Kosmo. What surprises me most, is that Mars is only a fraction the size of Earth, but some of it's features are really extreme in size. Like the big scar that is thousands of km's wide and 15(?) km's deep. Bizare!

    This video was fascinating! I already knew about Mars' ancient water, but it was amazing to see the geographical features that are still present today, like the Valles Marineris canyon system and the Hellas Planitia basin. It really makes you think about what the planet might have been like billions of years ago. I'm also curious about the future of Mars exploration - what do you think the chances are of us finding evidence of ancient life there?

    Its so sad that Mars was so close to being a habitable world with life, same with Venus, but due to several parameters deviating from what Earth had, they ended up being cold or hot lifeless worlds. Imagine if our solar system had three planets teeming with life, how would that have effected our civilizations?

    • @jeffs6090
      @jeffs6090 Рік тому +3

      That would be rather sweet! However, it would have only been fairly recently that we would have found this out. So, it would not have effected our civilizations much until now (the past several decades).

    • @adventurescotland
      @adventurescotland Рік тому +3

      I think it would have effected our entire civilisation and development. Radio transmissions to Mars only take two hours, so when we would have discovered life on one of them or even both we would maybe have put more effort in science and development of space travel and exploration.

    Outstanding. The ghost of precipitation still continuing in the canyon is poignant. I can imagine hydrocarbons are the geologically altered ancient accumulation of anaerobic organisms on the ocean floor. It would not be surprising if such organisms are still alive miles underground below the permafrost, where we will never discover them.

    Very nice lecture and video, thanks a lot Kosmo!
    I'm a big fan of Mars, I look at the surface of Mars almost every day (with Google Earth Pro + magnifying glasses + Hirise photos). I believe our red neighbor still holds MANY SECRETS and SURPRISES. I noticed some pretty strange traces that clearly show that some kind of independent life existed there a long, long time ago! I can even imagine an ancient Mars civilization there, but of course it's not enough to prove it scientifically (unfortunately), because the habitable time of Mars was simply too long ago.
    I'm also pretty sure life on Mars had an abrupt and not so pleasant end...
    Be that as it may, even without discoveries it's a lot of fun to research there, Mars is a wonderful geological museum...

    A truly wonderful video. Perhaps the best produced to date of another planet. I'm subscribed!
    Did you know that "Mt. Sharp" was originally named "Aeolus Mons"? Meaning the "mountain of the winds" this is most appropo, as local winds had to contribute to this mountain's height and characteristics. It's too beautiful a name to forget, imo. Thank you for spending time and resources on the Hellas Depression, too. It is very underestimated as the best spot for a colony. Atmosphere can be modified there, and it being heavier air than the surrounds, will not likely escape. Cheers!

    Of all the places on Mars that I'd love to see explored, Valles Marineris is by far my top choice. I would love for us to figure out how to set a rover -- or rovers -- down in there along with a couple helicopters like Ingenuity.
    Honestly, even if it were just some sort of stationary hub -- instead of a moving rover -- placed in the bottom of the canyon that was linked to helicopters doing all of the actual exploring, I'd be just as happy.

    • @davidflitcroft7101

      Ahh, Valles Marineris! You and C.S. Lewis. I believe that he had it full of water in "Out of the Silent Planet," which made for good sci-fy. My favorite region is the Hellas Basin, or [once] the "Hellas Planitia." This is where they should try altering the atmosphere, as it would be contained.

    Around 3.7 billion years ago, the Tharsis volcanoes erupted releasing huge quantities of water vapor which rained into the Noctis Labyrinthis and flowed through Valles Marineris. At the end the water flow shifted North and poured into the Northern Lowlands to form the Deuteronilus Ocean (the Chrysei Valles are huge outflow channels). The Deuteronilus Ocean persisted for another half billion years and when we look at the geological history of Earth, we see evidence of microorganisms emerging from there hydrothermal cradle and colonizing the oceans. Similarly, the shores of the ancient Martian ocean could have been teeming with life.
