We need a freaking atmosphere Stupid core is solid which means there is no magnetic field

@@Nw-zh1uq Atmosphere is probably the 'easy' part. All you really need to do is blow up the poles as well as harvest all the carbon dioxide in the dust AND find other elements such as nitrogen and hydrogen, likely harvested either from the moon, earth itself or the nearby asteroid belt. The magnetic field part as far as I know is currently 'impossible'. We can technically build two giant magnets and put them near the poles to simulate a magnetic field, but we would need magnets so much more powerful then we have ever made and honestly, we still have to maintain the field with power so it would be practically impossible with the limited energy potential of the planet (our only option is nuclear since solar power is less effective on mars, there is no coal and oil, and fusion right now is still in development.) Possible, but give or take a few centuries.

@@twenty-fifth420 But without a magnetic field the solar "winds" will remove it little by little. I tihnk i saw that on another sci show episode somewhere \

Actually Quantum mechanics forbids this

It is easy to do theoretically. But we are looking at a time scale of centuries to begin and thousands of years or longer before the first life can be introduced. We would have to also have a way to control solar radiation that reaches Mars to control how fast we can cool the surface. I had this discussion with Dr Freeman Dyson years ago. First you redirect asteroids from the belt and have them collide at specific points based on Mars' trajectory and increasing mass to maintain proper orbit and do so until the entire planet becomes molten to restart the core. Then wait for the surface to cool. Time scales are large and Dr Dyson said it probably would be feasible to start within 500 years based on our current technology.

I definitely agree with you on that statement!!! Very true! Have a great day

Statistically, Earth is a rare and beautiful blue pearl. 90% of all planets and moons are not hospitable, at least not for humans and the wildlife on our globe. So we're a mathematical anomaly.

@@michaeldmingo1525 oh, is that all we have to do?

Sure, but it's physically closer to the sun so the long-term "escaping the expanding sun" problem is even worse. It really wouldn't be worthwhile making it the first non-Earth habitable planet, but maybe the second, used for mining and gas harvesting.

@@CHIEF__ The Sun should not be expanding for over a Billion years so Venus should be fine for now. If we really want to escape a Super Nova or Exploding Sun we would need to be getting further away than Mars. Probably past Jupiter and Saturn. Most likely out of the Solar System just to be safe.

Even the worst environmental catastrophes or apocalypses still leave the earth as being far more habitable than any other planet in our solar system. We'd still have abundant water an atmosphere relatively rich in oxygen, and a working magnetic field!

Well, maybe there are unknown resources in Mars. I believe they found something there that caught their attention and want to go for it.

Well, I'm too old to even apply. But I think a catastrophe in early days would put colonization off for decades.

I would say for the average person most of it goes right over our heads but at least we do have a basic foundational idea of such a scientific approach to all this. However it all raises a question, what are the odds of this actually being a success?

You could do that on Earth. It’d be easier. I’m more interested in belt colonies. Much less grief than terraforming. Provided we can tolerate living in spin gravity stations.

I think is much easier to just throw the whole Asteroid belt towards Mars 😂😂

The Core (movie) had Humans going to the core of Earth to restart Earth's magnetosphere. I don't know what part of that movie was the most unscientific, but it was all impossible with any known technology and even technologies that could be considered plausible within 1000 years...unless Singularity happens and it is an immediate Tech increase to Star Trek levels. Star Trek Federation could do this; not how it is done in The Core, but they do have many other neat technologies. The Core is not good science, but it is fine as entertainment. Anyway with current technology it is just impossible to do this on Mars, even if getting to Mars cost nothing at all for unlimited resources from Earth, even with a budget of $10 trillion also...still not possible. Possible with known physics? Uh yeah I think so? But you would need a civilization that can make 100+ mile Tungsten Drills AND a ridiculous cooling system to keep the drill from melting while drilling through 2000 miles of rock AND then your heat source to melt the core of Mars. All of that is technically possible, but would need technology and a civilization in the Kardishev 1 level at least = millions of times wealthier than Humans on Earth are today.

@@denalozecon9074 I was thinking more gravitational tech. If we shoot gravity waves from multiple directions towards Mars' core in a way such that they constructively interfere only in Mars' core, we could deposit significant amounts of energy in the core without drilling down. Assuming I'm not missing something, this could melt Mars' core and **maybe** restart a magnetosphere? IDK how plausible that is, but since it would take thousands to millions of years to cool down again, we'd only have to do it infrequently

@@Evan.the.Butler I like your idea. There are multiple issues. 1st: While astronomers claim to detect gravity waves, they are not directly detecting gravity, but instead detecting the effect of gravity that corresponds roughly with the time a supernova is detected. So detection of two Neutron Stars smacking together; if you look up the mass of a neutron star then do the inertia calculation of two of them hitting each other at over 500,000 mph? That is a huge huge smack! My mph was a wag but Neutron Stars are supposed to have a surface gravity of 1000 to millions of gravities; if they approach at 100,000 mph from a big distance of millions of miles the gravity effect between them increases exponentially as they get closer...and would accelerate them more the closer they get. 2nd: That is the only event I have heard of that has been detected as a gravity effect; detecting instruments moving a really tiny amount. Really really tiny amount! So an event that big is almost not detectable as a gravity effect. Any attempt with any feasible technology Humans have today to duplicate that...maxes out at inducing a couple asteroids to hit each other at say 150,000 mph as my wag. Even if both asteroids are 100 trillion tons the impact force would create a gravity effect that is omnidirectional and so tiny a mosquito landing on your arm is a larger effect. So a controllable gravity beam or something else Star Trek might talk about is just not at all possible with known technology. 3rd: Just assume for a moment some smart people DO invent a Gravity Beam in this century? Unless it is some really Post Singularity insanity of a technology...it seems likely it would have an effect proportional to the total mass of the device = be useless for reaching through 2000 miles of Mars rock and STILL having a power level that is useful. 4th: All that aside your idea would be very cool as a sci fi tech. However it works it would be usable at one Trillionth the level of what you need to heat Mars core; as either a Tractor Beam like Star Trek or some exotic weapon with a cool name for the Sci Fi story. So my point is your idea is great as an idea. But Unubtanium from The Core is called that for a reason; any neat idea that seems impossible...

If EM Field emitters and receivers are set up on the poles, we could have a controllable and long term field going on.

@@horgeelrodrigo4904 Perfect. We control the emitters and receivers from Earth, so if the Martian colonists ever get uppity, we can space them. Earth Must Come First!

You forgot Low Calorie ice cream..... mankind's greatest achievement

The difference is that all those things are based on engineering principles that are already well understood. We were building the first primitive liquid fueled rockets in the late 1920s. But terraforming is a different beast entirely. While the processes sound simple, moving that amount of material around is a technological challenege unlike any other. Even though it is just gas, it has mass and that means you need a way to move it from some other place to Mars to create an atmosphere. And what gasses would you choose? Oxygen of course, but Earth's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen. If you want humans to breathe it, you're going to need a chemically similar composition. Then you have to try to get something to grow on Mars, which means you need to do something about the toxic soil and the problem of not enough heat and no water. So, you're building a massive greenhouse. While it's possible based on engineering and scientific principles we already know and understand (and use on Earth) it's not feasible at the scale needed to transform a planet. Even a small planet like Mars.

Mike McKeen someone will figure it out

@@impg8801 it's not that we can't figure it out. It's that it makes it incredibly difficult because of the massive changes needed. There is no shortcut for dredging atmosphere from Venus and flying it to Mars. You have to get it out of the gravity well of the planet. You have to have enough energy to get the cargo to Mars. You have to land it there to release it. Then repeat for years.

@Sylwia Kastrau in 200 years of human industry, we have only managed to slightly alter the climate of Earth. To manage the same thing on Mars is another beast entirely. For example, we can burn coal and oil and gas here on Earth because 21% of our atmosphere is oxygen. On Mars, there is no atmospheric oxygen. You can't light a fire at all unless you bring oxygen (or another oxidizer like fluorine) with you in addition to the hydrocarbon you want to burn. That's just to generate energy and thicken the Martian atmosphere, and you need to thicken it because there is barely any atmosphere to begin with. So little in fact that if you were to remove your helmet on Mars, it would be similar to removing it in orbit. It's almost a vacuum. So you want to terraform Mars, you need to obtain enough gas to cover a planet, then you need to capture it, then transport it. With our current technology, that means chemical rockets. Most of our large rockets are large because most of the weight is fuel to get off the planet. The payloads are tiny by comparison. So that means lots of rockets are needed just to capture gas from somewhere, fly it to Mars and release it. The expense of such an operation is prohibitive all on its own but the technical challenges make most people look at it and say 'nevermind'. Those who don't, just don't get why such a thing isn't feasible. Put simply, we need another option. Either resign yourself to the fact that any life on Mars will be in domes or habitats, or come up with some chemical process to magic the gasses from the rocks on Mars. Remembering of course that any reactants or reagents will have to come from Earth, because the building blocks for complex chemistry aren't available on Mars. The energy needed to drive such massive processes is not trivial. You're not gonna do it with solar panels.

Too many lunatics nobody wants to help until it’s too late

The luminosity of the Sun will steadily increase, resulting in a rise in the solar radiation reaching the Earth. This will result in a higher rate of weathering of silicate minerals, which will cause a decrease in the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In about 600 million years from now, the level of carbon dioxide will fall below the level needed to sustain C3 carbon fixation photosynthesis used by trees. So basically run from the sun. Being able to live on mars buys us time.

Nah, lets just trash this planet and then get a new one. By the time we ruin Mars, Earth will have either fixed itself or we'll have the technology to move to Alpha Centauri. We'll be like an interstellar race of tourists: traveling to a new planet, living the high life, trashing the place, and then moving on to the next hotspot while the animals, plants, and such clean the place up after we're gone. We'll seed a million worlds with our hedonism and 100 million years from now new races will emerge from our trash heaps and worship us as their creators while their scientists research our garbage to discover our technological secrets but by then we'll moved on to another galaxy to trash it too.

@@dcanaday you don't need to flatten the mountains. You can build pipelines for transporting desalinized water. Solar energy can be used for desalination. Still, the soil there seems very poor, lacks minerals.

I like this! Problem is that it would be a millions of years process :P

@rushikesh gupte OOOOOHHHH

Venus surface has no water at all and an average temperature of 450° C. The only possible way to inhabit Venus is building a floating base/city/colony above the sky level. Currently we barely have the technology to levitate a train, but a whole city which should host a MINIMUM of 180 people? We're still in Sci-fi territory. This video is incorrect, though. The first step of terraforming and colonization of the space is not Mars, but Moon.

Yeah, but we could fully colonize it, that's what I meant, my bad.

On the moon you can actually send a human crew. At the current state of things, you can't do it on Mars. Of course the moon needs permanent human stations/bases with oxygen and water supplies, and it's hard to get those things on the moon, but it is doable. The moon is the first step to colonization/terraforming.

Venus terraformation is even more implausible You need to freeze the atmosphere out of the sky, then cover it with about 1km of dirt so it doesnt reenter the atmosphere Then you need to modulate artificially its temperature indefinetly because of its proximity to the son, Then you need to find a way to speed up the entire planets rotation to induce a coriolis effect and weather and water cycles or the atmosphere will go to shit.. its not easier

That's the thing I love about science. It often can bring people together.

yeah... how about earth as a common goal then...

@@thunderlifestudios Yet black men are killed by police. Stop with the nonsense. You ain't never going to mars.

Not for that purpose, but to spare Earth the pollution from the industrial waste. While CO2, Methane and a variety of other gases are dangerous to Earth's atmosphere, these would benefit Mars.
