Mars is a disappointing hellhole lacking practically everything we need to stay alive. It looks like we’ll only ever have small crews spend a miserable time hidden underground. Except, we could terraform it into a green new world. But to solve the planet’s problems, we first need to make it worse and turn it into oceans of lava with gigantic lasers.
This video was animated with help from our friends at Thought Cafe. Check out their Video "Could We Live on Mars?" here: • Can You Survive On Mars?

And most important (imo), this is the only 100% human-habitable planet we have. It's the only world in the entire universe that's completely ideal for us to live on, right out of the box. Other planets won't have our biosphere, even if they're perfect in every other respect, so we need to learn how Earth works before we can build those features into other worlds.

@@Kevin_Street I will not presume to make any inference about the entire universe, which we have observed less than a fraction of a percentage of.

Total mirror area is that big, not each individual mirror. A swarm of smaller mirrors will accomplish the same task. This scale is piecemeal once you start scaling up automated space manufacturing to the point where you're around 0.1% of the manufacturing base needed to build a proper Dyson Swarm. Send a factory that can build copies of itself and robotic mining stations and mirror factories to the asteroid belt, and direct the geometric growth of your space industrial infrastructure from home. Even better, after these factories make the mirrors and lasers to terraform Mars, they can keep making mirrors to get started on that Dyson Swarm.

@Prim I was thinking the same, I guess it depends because the plant and animal life that evolve could naturally incorporate that variable. It would be redwood style canopies instead of pine trees and giraffe-like animals instead of hedgehogs or something. I don't know if gene editing can fix the gravity problem for humans because gravity is physics, not biology. I guess people would just have to go to the gym a lot. They could have a kind of mandatory gym academy where they log in the amount of hours they exercise. Like a kind of gym style union hall.

None of this is possible in any foreseeable future, let alone the claimed 60-100 years they are claiming. It will be hundreds of years before we even have the technology to BEGIN thinking about PLANNING any of these things.

This kinda project is possible but the People doing it wont be abla to see it, because it whoud take around 200 years to make. For making a new planet, that isn't a big number. But no one will do it. Because men only cares for himself. And 4 generations of man working only for the next genarion is the imposible part. If there is no benefit for them, they wont do sh*t. The funny part is, the reason we need a new planet to beyin whit was because the same man who only cared for themselfs fucked up the world and wont do sh*t about it because the climant change and forests being gone is not their problem, its the new generations problem. The things that are in this video sounds like ist from star trek or something, but we are talking about a 200 years of time. About a 65 years ago we went to space.
