The Future of space exploration

[SCIFIguy64]

STARSHIP TROOPERS :D

[Artlune]

i feel very optimistic that we will see the beginning of great things in our lifetime but i don't think we'll see the more advanced aspects like the space elevator though. i wish i could live in the time when we colonize all those planets. makes me so happy just thinking about it

[TheIPC2011]

Ithink they should build a spaceship like star trek. i'm sure its near possible im not sure about shield tecnolgy and im sure a space elevator would be a waste of sources as is u ave cheap lwer orbit spce flight will b less cstly. and a space elevator wud b bad if we were drctly attckd by aliens

[rastamasta420]

as much as i would love for all of these things to happen within my lifetime, i think youre being a little optimistic.

[Darisha123]

Ive heard that man will go back to the Moon in 2020 and form a new Moon base there for perment stay. 2030 they will go to Mars, and stay there for 2 years minimum.. and 2050 we will go to Europa one of Jupiters moons, where we will try to look for life under the Thick Ice and flowing water that runs underneath it..

- we will get there using hibernation technology becouse the trip will take many years.

[EvmanX]

This could happen... if the goverments will get off their lazy butts and stop worrying about crap. They need to realize that humanity will die off unless we colonize other planets. I hope by the end of my life time ( im 12) i can visit another planet, and so do many other people.

[ttCrawsaive]

in the 60's people went to the moon, so after that, they thought: wow within 50 years they'll have a base there, they went to mars, but look where we are today! No Where!

[evymetal95]

how could u make a permenat base on saturn if its a gas planet, and its gravity is mcuh more than that of the earth- how would we survive?

[Omerack]

what would a space elevator do? lmao

[boy123838]

you realy thinks that they gonna make that big shit in 50 years?

[gespb32]

@boy123838 I think we have no choice, we are draining this planets resources really quickly, if our species is to survive & progress we are going to have to literally "blast-off"!

This is a view also shared by Stephan Hawkings.

[gamboy13]

i think a few things one we will not colonize pluto 2nd uranus and neptune are to far so there to cold

[CurlzMurray]

this is if technology doesn't progress i say we will achieve more.

[NoScopeNationCOD]

*Hugs*

[hitokiri657]

All this in just a hundred years. We should celebrate we're all still together. Let's all hug :D !

[rgrggfdgfgr]

I love this video great imagination! Also remeber the farther we go into the future the faster we will excel in technology.

My favorite thing about this video is that it takes place in our life time I hope you keep making videos like this I'll be sure to watch them!! :)

[TheSpiritof1969]

Man will not even reach Mars. Look at the changes taking place on Earth, what makes you think the drive will be to squander so much resource sending a manned mission even there? We have already passed our peak, there is no longer even supersonic transport and the new generation do not even beleive we made it to the moon.

Karl Sagen spoke of spaceships of the imagination but that is all we have now ... Startrek and our imagination.

[IDGeneratorS]

first of all you cant land in Jupiter it is 99.8% gasses infact you wont be able to go anywhere near it because of its gravitational pull..

still nice video, i think some of the moons like Europa are possibly habitable

[isthereanythathasnt3]

@IDGeneratorS, yeah that's right! But i never mention in that video actually landing on Jupiter

[brownnakaia]

this might work if we act as a human race and not seperate are self with are tiny tiny differences.

[EuroPowa]

Well leave christianity to rot on earth while those of us with brains make progress.

[diddykongfu]

@EuroPowa i wonder what religions would do if we made contact with an alien race that has no clue who god or what religion is lol

[narutofan4545]

I wish to see what well happen in a 1000 years

[PeXis]

Not sure about this but aren't saturns moons way beyond the zone which would make terraforming possible?

[TheTBoneShop]

@PeXis With enough CO2 youcould terraform any body from Mars to Eris.

[PeXis]

@TheTBoneShop

CO2?

It's not that simple.

There are many other things that are essential for terraforming.

Mars and Venus for example don't have strong enough magnetic field, because they don't have liquid metal core.

So nearly all the water have disappeared and will disappear because there's no strong magnetic field to keep the water from escaping the planet.

[TheTBoneShop]

@PeXis Good point, I nearly forgot that fact.

[GeneralRdot09]

We aint going nowhere.

we would of killed ouselves by then.

To many wars.

[Echiewel]

True, nobody can tell.

Same thing with interstellar travel. Alpha centauri may be closest by, but will this double-star be interesting enough to visit?

And whether or not the timeline will prove to optimistic, only time will tell...

[Echiewel]

You can't go to Mars for a week. To get back without spending a lot of time in interplanetary space you'll need to wait for your next launch window, which will take about two years. Pluto will not be an object of special interest ones we get to buildng bases that far out, just another ice dwarf. If it's lucky people will not mine it, but that's all the honor it migt get. But hey, it's still better off than Ceres, that will be used as a water, oxygen and hydrogen supply for the astroid miners...

[isthereanythathasnt3]

that's true, good work spotting out those things, but when i say week, it's just because there is no definite date for how long they'll be staying on Mars.

[PowerIsOwnage]

@Echiewel If they land on mars, it's forever. They're there, and dead.

Atleast their body goes to the soil and rots unless they find a way to live!

They'll still make the ground healither when they die.

[Echiewel]

@Powerl:

Not necessarily, after all, living spaceheroes are valuable here on earth. The first person to land on Mars will be so usefull for obtaining funds and getting people entusiastic that whoever organises that trip will probably want him to get back here after a while. In the long run, if they ever start colonising (if it ever comes to that, after all, nobody lives in more hospitable places like Siberia), loads of people stay out there, but in the beginning there might be return trips.

[MoOtJeMan]

@Echiewel Who's to say people won't figure out a fast way of propulsion ? Heck, they already have, it's just the practicality and cost that hinders them

[Captaincrab77]

@Echiewel hey this is the future by then will have plasma tv's on toiliets

[Keither713]

A Wonderful and Inspiring Vision!  Great job here!

[BMoReCiTy2100]

i really hope life could make it that far,nice vids.i would like to see more vids like this

[redblackproductions1]

cool video!
