Mars Rotating with Oceans, Just Add Life

[ScullBayProductions]

The big island looks like an apple. Future home of Apple Inc?

[LeoAutodidact]

How many Cubuc Miles of water do we need for this?

I'm just wondering if there are enough Comets in the Oort Cloud to provide the ice.

[serpadesigns]

@LeoAutodidact Hmm I'll have to calculate that for ya

[kokofan50]

@LeoAutodidact

1 We aren't sure just how much water is on Mars already. If it has alot we wouldn't need any.

2 The kipper belt is closer and has alot of planetoids like pluto which is one of the lagerest and nearest.

[xgentis]

It won't ever happend the planet has no magnetic field that mean the solar wind will blow away it's atmospher and the solar radiation would be mortal.

[serpadesigns]

@xgentis I never said my model had an atmosphere, it's a simulation of what Mars would look like with water at a 9 kilometer depth. But thanks your your constructive criticism. When I get around to terraforming Mars myself I'll make sure to re-gyro Mar's core to produce a magnetic field so you may visit.

[kokofan50]

@xgentis No, Mars has a magnetic field, granted it is a weak one. If we thinkened the atmosphere to the point were water could be had on Mars or humans live on it with out preshere suits it would take so long to strip away the atmosphere we could wright all of wrighten history over 20 time at least. Just 2,000 years ago we had the Romas think about in 100,000 years how much with have changed.

[TheClassicalSauce]

Reminds me of a random continent world from Civilization 4.

[serpadesigns]

@TheClassicalSauce Cool, never played it.

[Nightlight35]

Good plan, tell me when you're done terraforming so I can go visit.

[pringles509]

U shuld actually put alot more value to the colors and put green landscapes too

[KingWing777]

we need to engage the alien ice melting device and also get to da choppa..

[serpadesigns]

@KingWing777 haha I love that movie

[KingWing777]

@serpadesigns lol yeah sharon stone was so hot in that!

[Darko2625]

@KingWing777 Total Recall :)

[2012Video]

looks stupid with ocean and without green on ladnd :D

[serpadesigns]

@2012Video I made it to show the portion of water to land given 9km max depth, as if we had terraformed Mars, green would mean life, that's a whole other story

[eightsixzero]

Is this really what Mars would look like if it had water? I mean the water/land ratio would be different but it would have one big landmass in the south and then that one island. Or is this some artist's view of what it might be like?

I hope it's the latter. Having one big landmass would be lame.

[serpadesigns]

@eightsixzero Yes this is what Mars would look like if water were 9 kilometers high.

[XxslimchickenxX]

accutally this abillity to terraform a planet such as mars is only about a centurie away. well need to reestablish it magnetos sphere and atmosphere wich is very practical

[DHGameStudios]

Nicely made, but where will the water come from? I know that there's the icecap, but it was complete. So where'd all the water come from?

[420Qtip]

Very awesome idea, however very impractical at the same time :/

[serpadesigns]

@420Qtip Would you not like to see this happen?

[420Qtip]

@serpadesigns I would love to see it happen, I think that would be amazing! I just don't see how it is possible..........

[hhamor]

@420Qtip It is not impractical actually.

If we can do greenhouse effect on Mars,we can terraform Mars.

We can grow and evolve and colonize more

We can solve the population problem in the world.

[Davisawwrr]

@420Qtip I'd be dead by the time this happens.

[AkumaExorcistxX]

All Mars needs is the sun to reach it.. then life would probby unlock itself like it did with earth, earth is kinda in the save zone, not too cold and not too hot, but over the years the sun is getting hotter and hotter so earth would probby be into the hot zone and die, if the sun reaches Mars b4 earth dies then we could keep on existing xD tho this all depends on the sun i suppose.

[PleasureTV]

that's a lot of water, where do we get it?

[serpadesigns]

Some we'd get from the poles, the majority we might be able to commender thousands of comets and "borrow" the ice.

[bustermk2]

The current theory is that there is a lot more water on Mars then can be seen. Most of it is frozen and under the surface. If that were melted it would in theory provide enough water for a shallow sea.

Getting Mars warm enough to melt the water in the first place is the real problem.

[candr]

And lets not forget herding a bit from Saturn.s rings, at least we wouldn't have to go look for them.

[Helge129]

@PleasureTV: From below the surface I'd say.

[PleasureTV]

Yes some water will come up into atmosphere, then fall over the surface... but if ever terraformed Mars will have a very small amount of liquid water because Poles will never melt completely

[Helge129]

@PleasureTV: There is a lot water below the surface, not only the poles.

[PleasureTV]

yes I've got it - but lets be serious.

What I see in this video is a earth like Ocean - keep Dreaming

[Helge129]

@PleasureTV: It's not that far off TBH.

[kenizzyny]

@PleasureTV there's glaciers just inches below the surface!!! :D

[arsjaad1986]

u c that dragonface

[08lufcjoe]

if it was terreformed, wouldnt there be like loads of green on the dry bits where all the forests are?

cool video tho, it looks like one massive continent

[mschapstique]

I agree, it's still a cool Vid

[JuniorDExchangecore]

@08lufcjoe If we ever thought of bringing grass, which we would, yes.

[08lufcjoe]

ha alomst a year of a conversation

[serpadesigns]

Try watching in high quality mode.

[RustiSwordz]

Has anyone got this as a flat map type image?

[serpadesigns]

You can see a copy on my website found in the info section of this video.

[benxander]

i say we collapse jupiter into a mini-sun and terraform the moons. Huzzah XD

[serpadesigns]

I don't think we have enough golden-rectangle-proportioned black-obelisks to do this yet!

[Simaniac23]

To all of you debating the magnetic field, Veetina is right. Without a magnetic field Mars is just a lifeless rock. The magnetic field is the only thing that stops solar and cosmic radiation on here, but when our magnetic field dies, its over. Mars' field died a long time ago only because Mars is a small planet. Without protection from those 2 kinds of radiation life can function. So for all of you that want life to be sent to Mars, think of a new design for a magnetic field and we can do that!

[serpadesigns]

There are other ways of shielding life from radiation, submartianean habitats as well as shielded rooms like NASA is planning with the Constellation class rockets to the Moon and then Mars. Besides, if we were ever to get the point of adding this much water and atmosphere to Mars, it's not hard to imaging being able to regenerate Mars' magnetic field and magnetosphere. Oh and note that Mercury is smaller than Mars yet has a magnetic field, it's not the size that counts.

[DevilBaby626]

Earth has a magnetic field because it's core is iron, Extremely hot iron. Yes, it's not the size, it's the inside. But i have no idea how they'd get iron to the core of a planet!! Let alone heat it, because a planet must have a hot molten inside that erupts occasionally to survive. And the soil is orangey-red, do you think plants can live in that soil... well, we could just bring pots with earth soil!:P

And how would we make up for the gravity problem? Add HUGE rocks to mars??

[serpadesigns]

I never said re-animate Mars' iron core dynamo. I have no clue what you thought. As for gravity, there's plenty.

[wolf99000]

@serpadesigns well I read that is why mars is like it is today the core was smaller than earth and it stopped spining and let the cosmic ray into the plant but would you not need a working core to terraform mars

[serpadesigns]

@wolf99000 One would need a magnetic core, or several meters of soil/rock to protect from radiation in the form of a CME. Regular solar radiation can be blocked by a thick enough atmosphere. Our hole in the ozone is similar to the atmosphere on Mars in composition.

[wolf99000]

@serpadesigns yea if we ever do live on mars it will be more babylon 5 with bio-domes than anything else are best bet might be

[Salien1999]

@wolf99000 I heard the core stopped working, so the Magnetic Field stopped working. And solar wind was allowed in, the solar wind blew away the atmosphere and left radiation in.

[applemaker3]

a planet with a yin yang. a well balanced planet i say!

[FOXMcCLOUD74647]

DOES ANYONE NOTICE? it looks like yin yang

[serpadesigns]

Very interesting, it does.

[unlogic420]

we should introduce life to mars

[serpadesigns]

small steps...

[matthiasvanvliet]

That's a nice scenario. The only missing thing allowing safe life is a magnetic field on Mars. Apart from that: Well done!

[ZemplinTemplar]

Yep, the magnetic field would probably be the biggest problem.

[serpadesigns]

@matthiasvanvliet I just created what Mars would look like with oceans, I didn't make it possible to live there, try asking the ESA or JAX what plans they have to protect inhabitants from radiation. Don't bother asking NASA they're out of the game.

[SoilderofChirst]

i think we would entroduce earth life to mars

[kratos199413]

if there are cells or bacterias there is life

[Veetina]

Not anymore Mars is a dead planet now!

[sportsraider]

good job... although i would guess there would be some green patches here and there. too bad this wont be in our lifetime :(

[number1scatterbrain]

You never know...

[BeeRad277]

True, but it would probably look like this in the early stages.

[Aniwazoa]

True...

[j0ofez2]

wow i love this video. How did you make it?

[serpadesigns]

I took a cylindrical projection map of the Earth, removed the land, and inserted the map onto the low laying areas (below 9km) on the map of Mars, layered it on Google Earth, spun it, and recorded.

[ampreet27]

waaaaaaaaaaa??
