This has the highest quality to views ratio I've ever seen. Expect 1 million views in the near future. Keep making silly sleek space content. Truly an under appreciated masterpiece.
hes creeping up ! i've been laughing my ass off to this dude for a couple years, he went mia for a while and i was legitimately excited when he sent out a post saying he's back, one of my absolute favorites on yt. great work xandros. glad you are focusing on these types of videos and not the other color you were posting when you came back. these are so much more marketable. im gonna think on it and try to make a guess when you hit a milion views and subs!! keep it up at this pace and you'll hit those brother!
"if I were to send you a box of bees on Mars where would I send it" Funny enough, that would be an actual welcome thing to scientists on Mars, as well as life giving them lemons "oh, we don't have to manually pollinate and we get honey in return!" "life gave us lemons with viable seeds?!?! goodbye scurvy!" Murphy's law "shit happens on Tuesday" I'm sure the gardeners will be waiting at the door for the delivery of manure.
I always liked Hellas basin. I thought it would be cool to mine along the rim and then send train loads of tailings down into the basin. They could generate enough energy descending with a heavy load to climb back up with a lighter one, plus some extra to power your base. And Hellas is probably the best place to land a spacecraft or experiment with agriculture because of the lower elevation and thicker atmosphere.
The cold on Mars will be the biggest challenge. Realistically, people will be living underground. Growing food will be a problem. We need to figure out ways of growing things without sunlight.
Mars can be pretty mild during the day. The cold will only be a problem at night. The biggest problem is not the cold, but radiation. That’s the reason we’ll be living underground. Plants can be grown with artificial lighting.
0:06 Valles Marineris obviously. “Who’s going to feast on Earth’s sky and drink their rivers dry? ‘MMC!’ Who’s going to stomp their mountains into fine Martian dust? ‘MMC!’ ‘til the rains fall hard on Olympus Mons, who are we? ‘MMC!’ I CAN’T HEAR YOU! ‘MMC!’ WHO ARE WE?! ‘MMC!!”’ - Bobby Draper(The Expanse).
Dude this is literally the funniest thing I've ever seen when I went to your channel I expected to see like a million subscribers bro not 700 You are so underrated! 😢 Hilarious video 😅😂😅
to start with it'll have to be somewhere around the equator the planets spin at the equator makes it far easier to launch off the surface, preferrably somewhere low altitude where the atmosphere is more dense and obviously close to water. they should look for ice deposits in the big canyon, that's the best place to start
Great channel, awesome video, many thanks, subscribed. Ask ChatGPT about topic. His opinion is.... - Arcadia Planitia... Arcadia Planitia is the most practical initial location for a Mars colony. Its balance of accessible water ice, flat terrain, and relatively mild conditions make it a strong candidate. While regions like Jezero Crater or Gale Crater are scientifically fascinating, Arcadia Planitia offers the practical advantages needed for a sustainable settlement. Over time, subsurface habitats (like lava tubes) will likely become essential for long-term colonization, as they address the biggest challenges of living on Mars: radiation and temperature extremes. Factors Influencing the Choice: Access to Water: Essential for drinking, growing food, and producing fuel (via electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen). Safety: Radiation shielding and protection from extreme weather. Proximity to Resources: Building materials, minerals, and potential fuel sources. Logistics: Ease of landing spacecraft and expanding infrastructure.
I would rather end up in the southern hemisphere. Why? Long-term. That's why. In the long term, humans may terraform Mars, making it habitable. Since the northern hemisphere is basically a seabed, it'd get flooded. Besides, did you know that there's a crap ton of water underneath all of Mars' surface? So it would still be possible to get water in the southern hemisphere.
Maybe i dont know enough about the terrain there but i think the flat land at the bottom of valles marineris or the valleys that come before it in the east would be far better, you have to take into account mars's tendency for globe spanning dust storms, 100s of miles of flat land in all direction is about the worst spot you could be if youre trying to not have your infostructure obliterated, and if were talking actual settlement as apposed to some small science outpost where the infostructure would never be used enough to be worth the investment, then there is massive value in being on the equator, low gravity is no excuse for inefficient launches, saving a few pennies every 100 dollars adds up when were talking hundred billion dollar space projects, and more importantly commercial entities simply cant afford to not save that money, you dont want to delay or neuter you colonys proto economy On top of this it meets the other requirements of deep in the atmosphere and flat land, and considering we now know liquid ground water is on mars theres probably plenty of aquifers to dig wells in because of it being the only place for the water table to actually flow into, so from there its finding a spot with an aquifer and metorites to mine in close proximity to each other Plus, more geologically interesting area means exponentially more scientific data, as well as potential ores from the plate boundary that can be mined way later down the line when they're not limited to mining metorites All in all still a great video, would love to see a sequel focused on the same question but for the moon
we just need to wait for land prices on earth to get so insane people go to siberia consensually, then people will start realistically thinking about colonizing mars
All this wordplay makes me want to club you with my favorite pro-colonialism poetry book, The Rig Veda translated by Ralph Griffith and edited by Jaroslav Pelikan circa 1992.
Why should we colonize mars when we can colonize the moon? It has water ice and twice as much sunlight as mars, and plenty of rescources, and its cheaper to launch a rocket into low earth orbit from the moon than it is from earth.
not impressed, the real reason humanity will never live far from earth is energy, on Earth we not only use 10KW of primary energy 24/7 or 300GJ a year, we are also taking a subsidy from the sun for about 5000x as much again so that the entire earth climate and nature runs on the entire solar energy falling on earth. If all the 300GJ came only from solar PV panels that would require at least 300 panels per capita plus the storage would be impossible. On Mars those panels would make maybe 1/3 of the energy so a 1000 panels per per is for starters and they have to be replaced every 5-20 years because well dust with grind them down. Nuclear is out of the question, they need very high level infrastructure to maintain and are too centralized. On Mars there is nothing, zilch, there is no pre existing earth like climate, we would be living in volcanic lava tubes with no sunlight, bombarded by cosmic radiation, far worse than any prison on earth, so why?
Most underrated UA-cam channel in the observable universe
in like 6 months he probably wont be underrated anymore

Bro this channel should not only have 400 subs it should have 10,000 or more

This is criminally underrated, dude. Please keep making more of this, I love it! ^^
1:03 caught me off guard
Damn near choked on my dr pepper lmao
Yess a new video from an absolute legend!!!!!
Wait a small chanell with no ai voice over and clickbait in 2024?😮 Good
Or is it?
Your humor is making me die from laughter

great content in my feed

yeah that thing is called grow lights and we have it already
30 seconds in and subbed, youre gonna get big man mark my words, the production value is like a channel with 100k subs
good stuff keep going bro

You seriously need more subscribers, keep up the work man, your day is coming soon 🙏
Dude this is literally the funniest thing I've ever seen when I went to your channel I expected to see like a million subscribers bro not 700 You are so underrated! 😢 Hilarious video 😅😂😅
Love your work, you've got my sub!
Amazing videos dude, informative, funny and all around very good. Keep it up 👅
like 10 seconds in i subscribed cause the graphics were very cool and you somehow don’t have 1k yet , splendid video
Quaid....start the reactor...
Grand Canyon. Digging straight in is easier.

Maybe Hellas Planitia or Valles Marineris.
Damnit you have manifested Patrick in my head now so I can never look at that canyon the same ever again.
WAITER!! WAITER!! MORE OF THIS
6:44 i do this when i think about me and my fox wife on mars (real)

Carbon bioxide
What's with the hexagram?
Bro had me at the Aussie accent.
Nah it’s not Aussie it’s Brit
i think we should terraforming the deserts s practice befre we terraforming mars
when a random internet guy is more informative than 90% of space channels on youtube:
Maybe i dont know enough about the terrain there but i think the flat land at the bottom of valles marineris or the valleys that come before it in the east would be far better, you have to take into account mars's tendency for globe spanning dust storms, 100s of miles of flat land in all direction is about the worst spot you could be if youre trying to not have your infostructure obliterated, and if were talking actual settlement as apposed to some small science outpost where the infostructure would never be used enough to be worth the investment, then there is massive value in being on the equator, low gravity is no excuse for inefficient launches, saving a few pennies every 100 dollars adds up when were talking hundred billion dollar space projects, and more importantly commercial entities simply cant afford to not save that money, you dont want to delay or neuter you colonys proto economy
On top of this it meets the other requirements of deep in the atmosphere and flat land, and considering we now know liquid ground water is on mars theres probably plenty of aquifers to dig wells in because of it being the only place for the water table to actually flow into, so from there its finding a spot with an aquifer and metorites to mine in close proximity to each other
Plus, more geologically interesting area means exponentially more scientific data, as well as potential ores from the plate boundary that can be mined way later down the line when they're not limited to mining metorites
All in all still a great video, would love to see a sequel focused on the same question but for the moon

this music is amazing, where is it from? (also underrated channel)
First 30 seconds of Neo Seoul by After the Burial looped :)
@@Xandros_Official definitely not what i expected but still good song
I promise you will do well here
Very nice! I would go to Cydonia Mensae (Definitely not loving Take on Mars)
Hey have big are mar's oceans
I have only one issue with you, your videos don’t last long enough.
Why: because we ran out of Destiny to Manifest on Earth so we shall spread our wonders and ways with the rest of the solar system of course!
*_"The Stars are Ours to Inherit!"_*

Sorry to burst your bubble because we have to colonize the moon first 😆
The two cannot happen simultaneously, the moon must come first; no if ands or buts.
