I believe the theory involves creating a greenhouse effect. Mars has a lot of carbon dioxide, in the soil and in frozen form. Heat will release it into the atmosphere, warming up Mars, melting the polar ice caps, and making the planet habitable for stuff like plankton to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Smashing an asteroid into the ice and transporting CFC's are also potential ideas.
Keeping the atmosphere is another problem though (no magnetosphere).
First colonize the solar system then other stars. The only problem is the interstellar distances and we have to find something to tackle that. Imagine an empire consisting of earth, the moon, Mars, Moons and the moons of the gas giants...
if the terraforming of Mars is possible, they should do it on Venus too, I think that the terraformation of them will be on it's way before the year 3000.
I say we need to jumpstart the core of mars. We need to put giant machines that generate massive electronic pulses at the north and south poles, The pulses will travel to the core of mars and strengthen it magnetic field and trapping more heat. The planet will melt the under ground water, and become habitable.
Hmm yeah commiting the mass genoside of 6.5 billion people is obviously what god wants I say if that many people 'need' to be killed we kill people like you, narrow minded idiots that argue with people but don't listen to anyone elses arguement, if your so annoyed at the human virus go die, stop breathing my air, go burn your effin bible for all I care, it's fairytales for adults, except some ppl beleive it, you sir do not deserve to continue living.
Much simpler couldn't we put green house gasses on mars to heat mars. The marsian atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide, which could support plants if we jeated the planet.
Oh great, freakin' "hamburgers" on Mars. God I hope not.
I hope in 500 years, man will have evolved out of cannibalism (which is what you are if you eat other mammals) & other cruel, ugly choices. One can only hope.
@animalliberation0961 Cannibalism is but a matter of practical food supply in the animal kingdom, most notable being among the chimpanzees, and hardly is present in the human society unless you count in the murderers, sociopaths and people with a uncommon perspective of reality like in the tribes in africa.
\that put aside, eating different types of mammals is but beneficial for the body and for survival and is not cannibalism.
Because... There is one... Mars' atmosphere, You would just need to modify it, add a few thousand tonnes of ozone... or a few million... then a few million tonnes of oxygen, BOOM, you got a tiny red earth Until you add plants & water :D)
FUCK HUMANITY you fucks are just like a virus, " lets spread around the universe and carry the seeds of life" DON'T YOU GET IT!? GOD INTENDED US TO DIE ON EARTH READ THE FUCKING BIBLE! I do not want to see human shits and zebras and other animals on mars, GOD NEVER WANTED THIS! GOD ALSO NEVER INTENDED OUR POPULATION TO REACH 7 BILLION! ITS TIME FOR A REVOLUTION, A GLOBAL GOVERNMENT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO KILL OFF THE EXTRA MASSES OF HUMANITY DOWN TO 500 MILLION BY 2050! COPY 'N' PASTE THUMBS UP!
We don't need massive amounts of new technology. We can get there using the technology we have now, and we can build under the surface of Mars with the technology we have now. It's not a matter of needing so many things we don't have, it's instead a matter off finally getting around and doing what we could have done since the 1960's and haven't.
first tribes explored thier lands then they found other tribes. then they linked up to make thier civilisation ( past ). then they found other lands with other cultures then with the internet and trade the linked up. ( present ) with space travell they left thier homeworld and found other planets. and they found other races and with the technology of the future they linked up ( future ) and eventually thier home is forgotin and thier origins are but myths and legends like today. and our history.
@mcbjboy yeah, like we went to explore and left some people here, and those people in many years forgot the technology and so on, or maybe we emigrated from another planet because we destroyed our original planet, and in the process we forgot out technologies and past
DON'T BE CRAZY WE CAN'T BE CRASHING METEORS INTO THE SAHARA BRO. Africans would be all up in our business. The cacti and lizards would be holding protests and shit.
Mars is dead (probably), so we can do all sort of crazy shit to tame its wild side. But that's ahead in the future after we're all dead and humanity hasn't turned Earth into another Venus.
@aaronfromhastings Humans are all about exploring, all throughout history man has explored. We don't "Belong" to the Earth. Yeah it's our home planet but you make it sound like you think exploring space is a waste of time.
@AirSOFTLOVER12 Well put. It is a complete waste of time. We have barely understood what our ancestors tried to pass on. Looking up to the sky is an arrogant distraction from the failure down here. Yes, we do belong to the earth. If you understand at all the concept of a biosphere, you know that we cannot recreate the Earth elsewhere, or live elsewhere. We either delude ourselves that we can, and get distracted by the childish exploration or we start to fix this one home we have.
@aaronfromhastings Exploring space is the complete opposite of a waste of time. We learn new things all the times from it. If people didn't explore new places, & learn new things about those places then we would all still be worshiping a sun god & think the world is flat. I'm sorry, I'm not meaning to offend anybody, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but that is just my opinion. I never said we could live on mars, I'm just saying I don't think it's a waste of time.
@aaronfromhastings That's an awfully defeatist attitude, which I also happen to completely disagree with. Even if we as a species can't terraform a planet or colonize a different planet, the amount we can learn from this research is enormous and well worthwhile.
Then we could begin to alter the atmosphere and build civilization. There would be little to no need for any further life support. But all in all it might just be easier to build colonies in space or just colonize habitable planets. (granted we have the technology to reach them.)
We should slam some meteors into mars to increase its mass. Right now the surface gravity is only about 0.3 gs. That means a 100 pound person would only way 30 pounds. It is unknown how much impact this low gravity would impact human physiology but I think that more people would want to go to mars if the gravitational conditions were similar to Earth. After all humans have been adapted to earth's gravity for all their existence.
we shouldnt build on mars its pointless, it too will be destroyed when the sun explodes, the only reason i can think of why we should inhabit it is if earth becomes... well... full.
What kind of reasoning is that? If Mars is destroyed by our sun, the Earth is gone too. Should we stop building here on earth and kill ourselves because the sun is going to blow up in 4 billion years?
And unfortunately, the Earth is getting a bit crowded. Most of that is the fault of us humans and our governments, but the population rate is expanding enormously.
@dunnono00 as you can see i said 'it too will be destroyed' what we should be doing is not wasting our resources on that planet and focus on using the resources and focus on that 'mirror' planet we found not so long ago. i would rather humanity, if it wishes to survive would use its materials to travel lightyears than build a civilisation on a planet thats barely sustainable and is equally doomed, however this is for the next billion years or so. Of course we should keep building here you fool.
Kepler 22b? We barely know anything about it. We don't even know if it's mostly rock like our Earth (and if it is, the gravity is likely beyond human tolerance, as the planet is more massive). It's also 600 light years away. And it's orbiting a sun that... this is where your specialty comes in, get ready... will explode one day.
On the other hand, we have a nice red rock right on our doorstep...
@dunnono00 i said in a 'billion years or so' and let me just tell you that if it is inhabitable then i can guarantee that we will go there at some point, look at how much weve progressed over 100 years and times it by a million. on the other hand we could just us our time to move to some dead planet where we cant even farm any lands because there isnt any. but nevermind. Just to let you know im not digging at you here im just giving my perspective. we could move to mars but whats the point?
Baby steps. In other words, Mars provides researchers a test run in our own backyard. Plus, it's within the reach of our current technology. Think of it as practice. Perhaps terraforming might even be feasible. There's enough frozen water there to give the planet an ocean again, for starters.
And let's face it, we're not going too far anytime soon, so might as well spend the time doing something worthwhile, at least until there's a dramatic breakthrough.
It may took earth milllions of years to develop life,but it did it because it just happened.If we make it happen on the other hand things will speed up dramatically.We can find water from asteroids,we need to find carbon somewhere too and heat it up a little,then add vacteria inside and there we go
I think we need to end MONEY and WARS in order to learn how to be a human first.... before we think of "colonizing" the mars.... Otherwise "humans" won't be able to survive long enough to "colonize" other planets anyway...
Why didn't Karl Marx think of this or Stalin or any Soviet leader??? Rather than creating spuknik for simply propaganda. Space exploration solves the riddle of over-population and economic cycle of capitalism. Capitalism is a template for socialism and communism! crony capitalism is a creation from the template. However, Thomas Malthus observation is also valid. Therefore, the need of a space program/space exploration for solving overpopulation problem is reasonable.
@cris750 well said,but i would suggest common sense and voluntary contraception would solve the problem of overpopulation as well,with much less people and more automation we could pursue space colonization and exploration much sooner without the burden of supporting billions people greatly at risk to a life of poverty.
I disagree with this Mars currency being used. Monetary economics is holding us back right now. Hopefully in the near future mankind will give up this primitive form of rationing resources by using money as medium of exchange. To be fully free and provide abundance for everyone on Earth we must evolve into a Resource Based Economy. Only then we can reach for the stars.
It's "Magic Man and Jeebus" who "breathes life" into that boring unified theory, just like the bronze-age goatherders believed! Aaah, wouldn't that be cute..maybe we will get to see our dead hamster Billy in Heaven after all? Eh, creatards? Hehe! : )
Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?
Hawking - "Our collective free time needs to shift as much as possible to education. Whether you're a young student or finished school long ago, get out to the library whenever you can and work hard to learn everything you can about this world. Each individual and society will benefit from being able to solve more problems and make better decisions. Education is an amazing discovery process that repays you endlessly."
oh and also, i am amused on how much imagination stephen hawking has but not even knowing how that will work, he basically wants to overrule the universe and nature itself, but that would be impossible, we would all die before this could happen.
@PeasantofMercia Immortality is worse than death, for one, time gets faster, or at least how you perceive it. Did you notice that time became faster the next few years? if you lived for a certain time with immortality, 1 milisecond would be one hour.
@metaldragonhope Time appears faster while you age because your brain's awareness fades away, if you live keeping your brain at the same level of awareness (not ageing) the feeling of time would not change, Michio Kaku made studies on it, based on evidence and research not on "did you notice".
Natural selection took 2 billion years to create humans, humans took 10.000 years to make a space station, the sun will burn for further 2.5 billion years, evidence suggest that we will get there, alive.
i said "did you notice" because we don't all make calculations that make our heads explode just to prove a point, now do we? teh lolz at u, the sun isnt the only threat. lets see, there is quasars, pulsars, gamma rays, global warming, ice age, pollution, 2013 solar storm, the large asteroid that could go off course and destroy earth, the moon going away, comets, meteors, SUPAH DUPAH MANY MORE!
@metaldragonhope I made my point without head busting calculations nor using misinformation, so can you I reckon. Lets see. One probability of Quasars/Pulsars being a threat to Earth can be easily dissolved in a time as long as the age of the Universe. Gamma rays? From what? Pulsars, Nukes, not sure what you mean. Global Warming/Ice age/Meteors/Comets are not threats that can get Humans extinct, we are not Dinosaurs or wild animals.
@metaldragonhope 4.Pulsars do not come from stars, Pulsars ARE rotating neutron stars, and the ammount of gamma rays released is ridiculously low because of their distance.
5.Study how probabilities work, re-read that statement.
6.Include them if you will, their bursts still are a ridiculous threat.
There is more from your other comment, but I see you don't really have a grasp on this, so, goodbye.
4. pulsars come from neutron stars. STARS! teh lolz at u. i know pulsars, and they even create sounds like music. weak? pulsars are STRONG. its hotter than some stars.
5. probabilty? there are hundred trillions of galaxies. each with a form has a super massive black hole, new " " " will create quasars. quasars are like big kamehamehas.
6. there a star that is near death, and will cause to a hypernova, its so strong that it can destroy earth, and of course, its near us.
@minotarr oh, are you this proud? you're like ends of the worlds whatever. there are hundred millions of ways that the earth could go off, some without warning, some with, but unavoidable, some just comes. oh, and i know debaters like you, you avoid things like that so you look like you're intelligent. accept death, it comes with life. buy one, take one. back to business, we could die tommorow, the day after that, etc. we try to avoid death, but fail doing it. we could just imagine it, not do.
wow! what good proof! i was caught off guard! yeah, i lose. /sarcasm
love how someone says ignorant whilst they are more ignorant, trying to make yourself look intelligent makes you look dumb, especially you because you fail being intelligent. im not intelligent, im knowledgeable, but you're so proud to think that, now are you?
@metaldragonhope Solar Storm (this is the funniest) is not a threat for humans only for electronics in general, it happened already, it will happen again, we will survive. The moon will be at 1.5 its actual distance in about 10 billion years, that is not a problem. Even a nuclear war will not exterminate completely humanity.
I am open to the thought of our extinction, it is possible, just very very improbable in a time scale such as tens of thousands of years.
yes, it did happen already, but i remember that it didnt hit us, solar storms are violent, large, solar flares that the sun spews, in about millions a day.
wtf? the moon will be gone even before 10 million years, and if something hits it, it will make it faster, much like continental drifts.
in the future they say that we have weapons that can nuke cities, so yes, it can.
1. we made global warming, so we can stop it? yeahh... no. i mean, we can cause death, but not bring it back. where did you even get that so-called "fact"?
2. wtfbbqsauce. gamma rays are random. RANDOM. that means we can be hit, anytime without a warning. and the sun is not the only star around, dont understimate gamma rays.
3. do you even know that a asteroid is gonna pass us and if it goes out of direction itll hit us?
All those stupid Americans who really think THEY will colonize Mars. Everyone knows that Mars will become a colony of the Greater Swiss Empire in 5423!
But the British surely do not try to colonize Mars, do they? It's NASA who does. Although your close-minded American intellect may not be able to understand it but I can talk about a nation even though Stephen Hawking does not belong to it. Great, ain't it? So, to make it clear: talking about America in a video by Stephen Hawking does not mean that Stephen Hawking has anything to do with America. Understood? Or shall I explain it again so that even the dumbest American can understand it?
@HerrWagnerfreund what are you smoking you ignorant German? Nasa doesn't want to colonize Mars. They have plans to put a man on Mars as do many other countries, Russia, China, ESA, and India, but NASA has never said the want to colonize Mars. Nobody has the technology to colonize Mars today.
Sir, you don't have a real life, do you? I just made a comment about terraforming Mars. It was intended to be funny which it obviously wasn't. Terraforming Mars IS a project NASA and other space agencies such as ESA are going to undertake on the long term. And, as I said, I just made a joke about Switzerland terraforming Mars before the U.S. Nothing more, nothing less. I honestly don't understand why anyone in this or any possible parallel universe could get angry because of those two sentences.
If only we could find a way to create or enlarge a wormhole, that would be one of the greatest scientific discoveries or inventions in all of history, we could get to mars in a second or we could go wherever we want, imagine how much we can learn from that, it would be a new era!!!
People choose Mars because it's the closest habitable planet but there are a lot of issues that need sorting, creating an atmosphere, agricultural difficulties etc. But what about the planet called Gliese 581 D? Stephen Hawking talks about that planet and how it could the perfect home for humans in the future, we know relatively little about the planet but it is probably the best planet as it doesn't have such low gravity and it is believed to have liquid water on its surface.I know its far.
@Acepatriot1 ya, true. space is becoming more practical for companies, soon, space will be like what early america was, a business, then later will become colonies, then cities and then countries.
@Acepatriot1 dont know how we will when obama pretty much dumped our space program, russia or china perhaps will send a manned mission to mars in the future. but hopefully this will be an earth effort, where many countries work together. me personally dont care what countries goes as long as its a man and not a dog or monkey, lol
@RayDandy It has to many flaws to actually work. From Alcor page: "Cryonics procedures should ideally begin within the first one or two minutes after the heart stops, and preferably within 15 minutes."
Try and time that. From their page again: "Alcor offers two options: for whole body preservation you would need a minimum policy of $200,000, and for neuropreservation you would need a minimum policy of $80,000." I would rather leave the money to my wife and kids then to a maybe someday
@hotdog2020 Yes,it has flaws,but its promising in my opinion,many scientists have shown there is evidence for its feasibility,theres a video on my channel with a lecture on it.there are different funding options, you can get an life insurance policy to pay for most of it.visit cryonicsDOTorg.but its understandable if you have other priorities.
We haven't even figured out how to restore a native prairie properly. Even if we did figure out a way to recreate homeostasis, then it would taken. thousands of space shuttles to transport enough biota to establish a fabricated environment for a hand full of people. And then, what happens when an invasive lifeform infects that fragile balance.
@juki0h Yes you will. No space elevator is going to do anything more than get you out of the atmosphere. You'll need rockets, or some other propulsion, after you get that far. Think about it.....how could the elevator be attached to the moon or Mars? They're moving! And their distance from us is ever changing. The cords/wires of the elevator would just get wrapped around the Earth as it rotates and the moon revolves around it! LMAO!!
@gvman3670 im talking about the rockets that get you out of our atmosphere. of course we'll need rockets to travel to the moon or mars. dude, seriously, i cant believe you actually thought what you think your though about what i said, your just messing with me right? cause no one is that stupid
@gvman3670 let me refrase that i meant to say: dude, seriously, i cant believe you actually thought what you think i thought about what i said, your just messing with me right? cause no one is that stupid, LMAO! your dumb dude, please dont become a rocket scientist!
everyone who says earth is better than mars is wrong. if earth gets hit by a planet killer and we dont have another colony then mankid will be extinct.
@killer1171100 Earth is indeed better to live on for humans as we had everything needed to start life and everything WE need to survive like oxygen water and the right agricultural conditions to grow food and keep humanity alive Yes you are right Earth could get hit by a meteor that's actually one of the biggest concerns of modern day science, people always track certain meteors and asteroids to see whether they are going to hit Earth but its safer to have a second colony Gliese 581D or mars etc

@loganlwb No it would not. it might not even take 100 years because in a million years human tech would be so improved that this would be possible even though you are only being sarcastic with that number.
@Gump387 The moon is a dusty wasteland. It is tiny and the low gravity could have severe effects on humans, it has no atmosphere at all (but we can create one), plus it has no soil so we can't grow food. It is packed with craters which means it is more vulnerable to meteor encounters than Earth because of it having not atmosphere. I think the gravity is so low on the moon that if you jump hard enough, you can escape the gravity of it and be lost, always moving through the giant universe foreva
@Gump387 , the moon will certainly become the place where we will extract some of our resources and use it for our industry . in 100 our planet will be free of most of his industrial pollution =)
@Gump387 I'm totally with you, true the moon is not terraformable, and the very low gravity would be a big health and gardening issue, but if not for cities, we could have the moon be our own launch pad, the price of building and launching a spaceship from the moon would be nothing compared to the expenses now needed to fuel and push a very small pod with massive trusters into space from the Earth. A simple push would be enough, no humongous ramps, no massive trusters, no tons of propellent.
@wrcousert Why the fuck would you wanna go to venus? it would suck. You can't look at the night sky because it's just a thick layer of global warming?
@wrcousert Venus is twice the temperature of Earth's hottest place, it's possible to build structures that could withstand that much heat and pressure, but that would cost alot to build. For now until the foreseeable future, colonizing, and even terraforming mars is easier, and would cost for less.
/i don't think Mars will get his own language.. Guess the populair european and english language will be there.. just with an.. accent.. and maybe.. indeed those languages will combine into one..
@Meiwow have you ever read foundation by Isaac Asimov? in it he makes an interesting point about how being comfortable safe and more-over satisfied as species (in this case staying on earth) would be disastrous in the long term because it would lead to long term stagnation as a species. man needs and should be advanced, if not it would be locked into a never ending cycle down the millenia of nothing more than trivial resource conflicts and political card changes on earth.
@Meiwow Because in a couple hundred years humans would ruin the earth with war and global warming some people see the 15th century more civilized then the 21first.

@AirSOFTLOVER12 Well put. It is a complete waste of time. We have barely understood what our ancestors tried to pass on. Looking up to the sky is an arrogant distraction from the failure down here. Yes, we do belong to the earth. If you understand at all the concept of a biosphere, you know that we cannot recreate the Earth elsewhere, or live elsewhere. We either delude ourselves that we can, and get distracted by the childish exploration or we start to fix this one home we have.

@aaronfromhastings Exploring space is the complete opposite of a waste of time. We learn new things all the times from it. If people didn't explore new places, & learn new things about those places then we would all still be worshiping a sun god & think the world is flat. I'm sorry, I'm not meaning to offend anybody, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but that is just my opinion. I never said we could live on mars, I'm just saying I don't think it's a waste of time.

Then we could begin to alter the atmosphere and build civilization. There would be little to no need for any further life support. But all in all it might just be easier to build colonies in space or just colonize habitable planets. (granted we have the technology to reach them.)

We should slam some meteors into mars to increase its mass. Right now the surface gravity is only about 0.3 gs. That means a 100 pound person would only way 30 pounds. It is unknown how much impact this low gravity would impact human physiology but I think that more people would want to go to mars if the gravitational conditions were similar to Earth. After all humans have been adapted to earth's gravity for all their existence.

What kind of reasoning is that? If Mars is destroyed by our sun, the Earth is gone too. Should we stop building here on earth and kill ourselves because the sun is going to blow up in 4 billion years?
And unfortunately, the Earth is getting a bit crowded. Most of that is the fault of us humans and our governments, but the population rate is expanding enormously.

@dunnono00 as you can see i said 'it too will be destroyed' what we should be doing is not wasting our resources on that planet and focus on using the resources and focus on that 'mirror' planet we found not so long ago. i would rather humanity, if it wishes to survive would use its materials to travel lightyears than build a civilisation on a planet thats barely sustainable and is equally doomed, however this is for the next billion years or so. Of course we should keep building here you fool.

Baby steps. In other words, Mars provides researchers a test run in our own backyard. Plus, it's within the reach of our current technology. Think of it as practice. Perhaps terraforming might even be feasible. There's enough frozen water there to give the planet an ocean again, for starters.
And let's face it, we're not going too far anytime soon, so might as well spend the time doing something worthwhile, at least until there's a dramatic breakthrough.

Why didn't Karl Marx think of this or Stalin or any Soviet leader??? Rather than creating spuknik for simply propaganda. Space exploration solves the riddle of over-population and economic cycle of capitalism. Capitalism is a template for socialism and communism! crony capitalism is a creation from the template. However, Thomas Malthus observation is also valid. Therefore, the need of a space program/space exploration for solving overpopulation problem is reasonable.
