TIMELAPSE: Building an Underground City on Mars (Sci-Fi Documentary)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 бер 2024
- This is a sci-fi documentary, looking at what it takes to build an underground city on Mars. The choice to go underground is for protection, from the growing storm radiation that rains down on the surface every day. And to further advance the Mars colonization efforts.
Where will the materials to build the city come from? How will the crater be covered to protect the inhabitants? And what will it feel like to live in this city, that is in a hole in the ground?
It is a dream of building an advanced Mars colony, and showing the science and future space technology needed to make it happen.
Personal inspiration in creating this video comes from: The Expanse TV show and books, and The Martian.
Other topics in the video include: the plan and different phases of construction, the robots building the city, structures that are on the surface versus below the surface, pressurizing a habitat on Mars, the soil and how to turn it in Martian concrete, the art of terraforming, and the different materials that can be extracted from the planet. And the future plans of the Mars colony, from building upwards to venturing to the asteroid belt and Jupiter's 95 moons.

I love when Venture uploads. Gets rid of all the brain fog and lets me engage my imagination again.
I'm happy to hear the video helps people imagine again
where did they get water at????????? your not Figuring reality in break downs and other things
best to have brain fog and just fix this PLANET
@@debbyhutchinson3225 This is subtitled as Science Fiction Documentary.
@@debbyhutchinson3225 Perhaps I should instead have said Categorized instead of Subtitled. 😀
Underground cities inside caves, lava tubes, craters,… are much more realistic than any dome designs. Unless there is a habitable planet out there with dense, warm and breathable atmosphere, then underground city complex would be the best choice.
How about if slowly built a mars concrete substitute roof over a 100 to 300 wide crater .then the space beneath it gradually retrofit how you see fit .
Until there is a earthquake.
@@zollen123 still better than on the surface with gigantic dust devils, deadly radiation, below zero temperature and even meteorites 😗
@@thomas.parnell7365I believe that’s what the documentary mentioned sir!
You didn’t even include any specifications for your “100 to 300 wide, is it metres, feet or miles???
Marsquake*
I have worked in aerospace for over 20 years and over 7 years in the Space Industries. We can do all of this we have companies and people working on these problems NOW. I am too old to see come to reality however I am very excited about humanity's future on Mars. Teach your kids to dream and be engineers lol
Planetary destroy to colonise Mars!? I N S A N I T Y!
Never gonna happen.
@@buca512boxer you saying this because you watch UA-cam videos on the internet while I work in this industry SMH but yeah you know more than me tho 😂
Teach your kids to be cowboys sir!
Venturing out into our local solar system is our sentient species' next logical step. We already crossed vast oceans, explored from the highest mountains to the deepest oceanic trenches, and learned to live at the South Pole & in Low Earth Orbit. Next its on to the Moon and to Mars.
Yeah, we need to take better care of our beautiful water planet, but we'll do better once our global population has plateaued and reached a sustainable equilibrium. Along the way, we'll watch SpaceX's Starship take ever longer journeys, carrying crew & cargo to each new project destination.
I won't be around for most of these great leaps either, but if we can avoid self-destruction our innate human drive to innovate & explore will take us to the stars. Hats off to you aerospace engineers who designed & built everything that will make this glorious future a reality someday! Appreciate you...
Brilliant, as always. The only content on the Internet that you just can't skip forward or end early. Worth every minute. Thank you!
Glad you liked the video, thank you

I love this. nicely done.
Nicely done, thanks for showing how it might be done one day.
You worked really hard. Hats off
Шикарное видео. Спасибо!
I am pleased ,this is a wonderful example.
Interesting how in virtually every photo, the people look miserable. I imagine this would be accurate to the reality of those who will eventually live in Mars.
Smiley faces would be an improvement... I will be peachy on Mars. Life is too short to be a grump.
They'll probably be even more grumpy when their bones become brittle and start to crack.
So thorough! This could be a great series due to what appears to be a long process in completion!
Great documentary.
This is brilliant and brilliantly done subbing hard af
Love it, what’s beautiful vision.
Glad you like it
This reminds of the films they made in the 1960s of what the future was going to look like in the year 2000. I'm still waiting on that collapsible refrigerator that comes out of the wall, and the robot oven that cooks my meals. I doubt the future Mars colony will look anything like what's shown here.
So because people in the 1960s made inaccurate predictions of the future, people in the 2020s are relegated to the same likelihood?
There’s this little thing called artificial intelligence that’s a big deal right now, and it’s for a reason. Our predictive capabilities are far greater than the 60s.
You are comparing a time when literally half of adults in the US smoked cigarettes to today - not the same society.
This video is awesome.
Great content. AI voice is maddening. Couldn't finish.
One of the major problems with digging into the surface of Mars is the high concentration of toxic chlorine based elements in the soil. There are several heavy metals that would be toxic to plant and animal life also.
Don't sweat the small stuff, man. You sound like a modern-day eco warrior attempting to cast doubt on any development anywhere.
There's no "soil" on Mars, it's Regolith, powderised rock. Soil is a complex mixture of clays, sand, vegetable matter (carbon and nitrates) and microorganisms. To turn Regolith into soil, the Perchlorates are easily removed, they are very soluble in water, so could be washed out in large drums. The Martian atmosphere is mostly Carbo Dioxide, which can be used to grow inital plants to fix the carbon compounds like cellulose and carbohydrates. Not sure about where the Nitrogen comes from. Plants also need Potassium and other minerals to survive. The perchlorates are the easiest problem to solve.
Wow, very interesting
This is absolutely great. I need to read Dr. Robert Zubrin's new book on Mars.
I couldn't imagine that living in the dead sands of Mars could be so exciting, but now I'm convinced that it sucks!
That would be very cool 😎
Yes please!!
Awaken
Awesomeness 😊
Real cool 😎
Thank you 🧬🧫🔬🔭
Fun video. Early settlement in Lava atubes seems easier than excavating new areas for structures. Dropping tunneling machines into a crater floor and tunneling horizontally would also produce spaces that should be easy to seal off.
A very imaginative video. Perhaps it will come to fruition in about 10,000 years, if humanity survives that long. I hope so.
did I miss the part where it is explained where all the energy and fuel comes from that powers and drives all the equipment and machinery that is needed to make the materials and refine the minerals in the ground to start building this city?
Nope. It's called "magic". Just close your eyes and click your Elon Musk Ruby Space-Slippers (tm) together. And don't think about X.
Humans can't even get to the moon .
But Mars, no problem .
There you go getting all factual and stuff. lol.
Portable Nuclear Generators!
@silent apparently you did miss it because you didn’t watch the whole video? try @13:50
The proposed construction of an underground city seems okay, on point. And the technology for "soiless farming" (not mentioned in this video) could be done for a Space Colony.
The biggest problem people have not yet overcome is recycling. A "Zero Waste" civilization is a challenge I think humanity would need to accomplish before going to Mars.
We could if the corporations want to, but a buy new, always replacing is their money making design. Just think of all the precious metals locked into the land fields, from our electronic waste. Metals like gold, silver, copper, aluminum, steel, etc. When they tell you they are pushing for a sustainable & resilient world, they are straight up lying! They want a world where they control the materials & how you obtain them as well as how often you will. Planned obsolescence is the new design for everything!
Necessity is the mother of invention. A Mars colony would necessarily have limited importation of supplies, so any reuse of materials would be much more beneficial on Mars than Earth. It makes sense to believe that economics alone would resolve this issue. And too, a city dump would be unlikely to cause any environmental problems.The only concern would perhaps be esthetics, which at first might be an unaffordable luxury.
@@drmasroberts I agree with most of your statements. Except for trash dump sites or landfills.
Waste dumps do pose an environmental hazard for lifeforms. The health of a Martian colony could and would be affected.
Large scale excavation is not necessary initially because we have found several huge caverns and cave systems. Sealing all or part of them would be far easier.
EVERY DREAM IN THE PAST COMES TRUE IN PRESENT ❗
QUITE APPRECIATED TO YOUR SCIENCE FICTION WHICH IS QUITELY BASED ON SCIENCE RULES AND PRINCIPLES AND AT THE SAME TIME USING THE CREATIVE AND SCIENTIFIC THINKING TO FIND THE SOLUTIONS OF PROBLEMS.
ACTUALLY IT IS AN AMAZING DOCUMENTARY ♥️
YEARNING TO WATCH YOUR NEXT EPISODE ♥️
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
This is so good, great use of AI.
do you know which ai are they uusing?
@@SufyanAshfaq-bh8lf No I do not.
Maybe MidJourney
Transporting metal for fabrication is going to be prohibitive, plus thousands of welding robots would represent a high maintenance requirement, and once you've used metal to create an airtight skin then you've got oxidisation problems from moisture within the sealed environment.
Better off using resin to form reconstituted rock which would be airtight, and due to the lower gravity would enable larger structures than on earth.
Weighted suits for work periods and sleep periods within a titled centrifuge on the crater wall would both work to reduce muscle and bone wastage etc.
Putting human waste recycling above habitation and work areas would reduce raditiation exposure.
The advanced of science and technology make this a reality in the near future, colonization of the planet Mars will be positive
Earth quake happen when 2 tectonic plate have too much energy built up, but if the tectonic plates are not active on Mars from where the Mars quake could occur?
Given the lack of atmosphere and the presence of meteorites, what are the changes of a meteorite hitting underground city? Can the roof be thick enough to prevent major damage to structure or inhabitants? I don't the video addressed this point. Great video and narration of course, I just was wondering.
its nice to dream.
Interlocking habitat modules and sanitation plumbing.

It Will happen.❤❤
A fun look towards the future, the energy requirements to build such a thing are wildly prohibitive though, as is the gravity for long term habitation.
a collection of MidJourney pictures as a screensaver! I can do that in an hour too.
(That would really help people out alot with the Organs.)
what an exciting future for mankind
Please explain to me as to why man would take hundreds of thousands of years, many of these years in the last few thousands, finally achieving the technology to drag themselves out of caves here on earth, just to finally leave the planet and huddle in caves again? Is that what we have achieved?
It’s a necessary step along the way to a much grander future.
@@NoTorr2000what is this grander future? We seem to be building towards something but not solving what is already here
@@NoTorr2000 : human's will not have left the solar system before my great, great, great, great, great, ... grandchildren have passed
Ok ahhm mining minirals, building furture settlements, getting excusid minarals to enhance the furture earth,building advanced space craft, selling the minarals to aliens, yearh i wrote aliens, they do exist you know?
@@heineankerjensen649 : why would we send humans to mine on any planet in this solar system, even today, our robotics are fully capable of ding this. Besides if resources are the problem, we could mine asteroids far more easily, or the moon. Human future is for exploration and knowledge, not mining. Besides, if we have the technology to mine planets, moons and asteroids, we have the technology to fix the planet that we live on. We should focus on our home planet until we are technically capable of interstellar flight.
Underground cities on MARS, will be the best way to protect and pressurize. City's can have high ceilings and open plazas. The Expanse TV show, gives great examples Ceres and Mars of underground cities.
Adorable
It all sounds great ,only it may take a thousand years to start this plan.
The final frontier!
it gonne to another level using stock photos with ai videos, really healping shape the image that you are trying to bring, alsoi love how the randon space X and boring company failures are thosed there like they will be something in the future other than a joke, anyway, continue the journey of using ai videos in a good way.
Mars tends to get a lot of our attention, while Venus is largely ignored. However, the prospects of habitability there would be much easier than on our little red cousin. A gravity much closer to that of Earth would make this colony much more comfortable than our Martian city. Would you guys consider doing a video about setting up a floating colony in the upper atmosphere of Venus? Surface mining on Venus would be an exceedingly difficult task, but probe mining Mercury from Venus could be easier from this base.
I should look into it further
Do you have a soundtrack at all?
How can a "Biosphere" work on Mars, when they couldn't even get one to work on Earth? LOL!
My thoughts exactly. I can see a colony of rovers and robots being up there...but not humans...unless it's just for a few days.
Sounds like a good plan but I'd have more shields on the dome. So one outside, one inside that can shut up during storms or meteor strikes and one horizontal at the base of the dome, various small bunkers outside to house radar and air defence missiles to knock down threatening meteors. Could even build a launch pad into a nearby crater for rockets or other future ships. Have shutter doors for easier maintenance and living quarters for the initial crew that aid in and direct construction.
Imagine traveling to mars and building your own home by digging out a section of an underground tunnel. A lot of people would be excited to do so.
Ok , you've convinced me. Where do I sign up?
Far more rational than the many domed city renderings that would offer too little protection from the bitter cold at night.
Can you release the soundtrack that you use? Would be great.
Dude... this will be a lifeless bunker
Before they build all that on Mars...they might want to build one in a barren desert on Earth...to make sure it actually works.
Cool video. But it doesn't deal at all with one of the hugest problems with Mars colonization: Too vulnerable to destruction. All it would take to do tremendous damage or destroy the colony is one nut, or one enemy agent. That vulnerability would tend to turn a Mars colony into something like a military colony -- purely for security reasons, a Mars colony might not permit the degree of privacy that civilians in democracies typically enjoy. The colony would have to be constructed of many compartments capable of being sealed off and independent on short notice -- somewhat as submarines and ships sometimes have watertight compartments in part so damage in one spot doesn't spell doom.
What's the name of the soundtrack at 8:44?
Hi i'd like being there!!! I love space and i think it s our future.
Yeah we can't do autonomous construction on Earth yet. Cool video but complete pie in the sky.
good picture for cartoon
Good luck transporting all that MASSIVE gear and equipment from Earth.
Indeed
Freeze me and wake me up in about 500 years.
This is the correct approach but dont forget any human presence on Mars or our moon should be understood as a means to increase our energy dense efforts to go beyond our solar system.
If I was adjusting Mars for human life, the first thing I'd do is build a solar reflector at the Sun/Mars lagrange point to bounce off solar energy to .. space ? (perhaps even this could be used?). Then work through the various points mentioned here, but with less solar radiation.
Start making full length movies. You’d kill
So 🆒😎😊👍🏼😁🤗🫡🤠🤑
conceptually yes , but not as mega built over crater ( which is kind of an old 19th century planning ideas ) , it will be a much more surgical and local typological approach.
One thing that came to mind was petroleum requirements. Would the plan be to move oil from earth or to develop some form of petroleum substitute? Petroleum products are required in almost everything.
As long as the ventilators are kept on
Nice fiction. But what the energy source to this machines?
9:34 right most person (Gyaaaaat)

Glad you enjoyed the video
@@VentureCity Type 1
Now we are talking. We can’t find out how long it would take us to reach that level because human development is kinda random. Maybe another cold war could make it a million times faster. Seriously. A scientist during the cold war, could go to the American government and say one word “Russia” and the government would reply with two words, “How much?” This was the era when we saw amazing development in an amazingly short period. The current American monopoly doesn’t make it seem important to the government to fund those scientists more.
Ok, coming back to type one, when we become the planetary civilization. Now our main fuel source is NUCLEAR FUEL. But you would argue, isn’t that a thing today? Well, yes it is, but it is 1, dangerous to operate so not used in bulk, and 2, we use nuclear fission for our energy. The type one civilization will be based on nuclear fusion. Fusion releases a lot more energy and can be performed with simple elements like hydrogen, compared to fission, which needs rare metals like uranium or plutonium. We would have propulsor technology which would allow us to launch rockets into space without using that absurd amount of fuel, and make interplanetary travel easy.
Type 2
Now we are a stellar civilization. The main source of our energy is nearby stars. We are now so developed that energy from nuclear fusion is not enough to fulfill our development needs. So, we take the next leap, Energy From Nearby Stars. No, I don’t mean we would plant solar panels in the oceans, we would plant them on the star…yup. Freeman Dyson, a theoretical physicist originated the concept of a Dyson sphere. We would build a system of rings around a nearby star and obtain all its energy, for our use.
A very interesting event happened with a star names Tabby’s Star. Its intensity suddenly dropped by 22 percent! Scientists suspect the only way this is possible, as far we know is if someone built a Dyson sphere around it, someone who is already a type two civilization. Here is the quote from the wiki,
Type 3
Introducing the Galactic Civilization, and the final level according to the original scale. Our energy source would still be Dyson’s sphere, however, this time we will build them all over the galaxy to fund our experiments. We would be able to access wormholes and zap through space. It is a theoretical object if you don’t know what that is. Imagine the universe as a piece of paper. You are on a point on a paper and want to go to some other point. Instead of traveling, you fold the paper in such a way that the point you are on and the point you want to go in touch with each other. Then you make a hole in your location and enter the place you want to go to. This is roughly how wormholes would function. A type 3 would not be able to build wormholes but can zap through preexisting ones.
Type 4
Now we are a universal civilization. Our main energy source is supernovas! That is when a star explodes, releasing an absurd amount of energy. We would be traveling through multiple galaxies and extracting energy from supernovas. At this stage, humans would become immortal, like seriously! We would be able to upload our consciousness, the feeling of existing, along with our memory and experiences into a computer, and live in the metaverse or download that consciousness to another body, like the body of Ultron, and switch avatars and stuff. Being free from our biological bodies would open up new horizons for this civilization. We would also be capable of creating type 0 civilizations. They are kinda god-like, but not quite there yet.
Type 5
Being a type 5, humans realize something amazing, they find that multiverses exist. This might sound like science fiction, but remember going to space was also fiction in the early 1900s, having self-driving cars was fiction in the late 1900s. So now we are MULTIVERAL CIVILIZATIONS. An unimaginable amount of energy would be required to go multiversal. A type 5 civilization will probably be looking for White Holes at a time. They are only theoretical but their existence can be proved using Einstein’s Field Equations. It has been estimated that a white hole can emit energy equivalent to 14 million times that of an average galaxy! Now humans might assume they are at the peak of civilization, but soon they will realize the greater truth.
Type 6
We have always lived in a 3D world. Our brains are not capable of imagining things in the 4th dimension. But a type 6 can make their brains for their conscious selves. Their bodies are nothing but pure consciousness, and even going up by one dimension we would become a hundred times more efficient.
Type 7
But now, humans think they have reached the peak of their civilization. There is no greater truth that they do not know. It is now time that Humans realize the existence of a type 7 civilization, the one we all worship, yes I am talking of the existence of Gods, the real type 7 beings…would be pretty cool right?
Many scientists consider we would never really reach the status of a Type 7 civilization. A type7 can manipulate the laws of physics it can make matter from the vacuum, and generate a tremendous amount of energy with its Godly Power. That’s why type 7 has been rightfully called The Creator Civilization, which can build its universes, with any laws of physics, and play with the laws of physics and manipulate them the way it pleases. Millions of type 6 civilizations together cannot compare to the immense power of type 7. Feels sad no one will be able to develop to a type 7 or will we?🌏🌎🌍🌐🌐🌐🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
If you go to clear can you see the big radars?
i did not know there was a base on Mars. How did you get this images, from Nasa website?
What keeps the materials being used from becoming radioactive?Also the mention of the use of solar panels (PC) is questionable being fusion reactors are in use. I would think by then miniature reactors would be available.
The concept of this video is on the right path but I can't believe how many shots of diesel equipment was used to illustrate it. I guess we're just supposed to imagine it's all electric. Then there is all the steel structure and scaffolding as if we're building on earth. You can't ship that kind of weight from earth. Are we going to make our own steel on Mars? And the scene at 16:04 showing an enormous book library looks homey but once again we're not going to ship books to Mars and there is nothing to make paper out of there. It's a nice dream but a little more reality would also be nice.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
So where exacly are they going when they go out of the city???
