NASA Animation | Future Earth

[dfghj241]

thats after or before the battlestar galatica fleet found us, the thirteen colony?

[nightreaper999]

where are the space ships and huge cities?

[mariamole011]

huge cities. is there space for food production?

[TheFerruccio]

Why does this say "NASA Animation"? What does NASA have to do with this? Did NASA produce this video? Did the uploader produce it? There's no source given.

[peonpiate]

i like how the video is so optimistic, it has MASSES of cities everywhere, likely with tens of millions inhabitants...and yet outside the cities its all perfectly green and forested. Yea, sure. Even today Suburbs of our large cities destroy neighboring forests...And thats not likely to change in the future. Large Brown spots outside the cities would be more realistic. Brown since that is the sludge of pollution and sterile land outside the cities.

[drche420]

@peonpiate

This is a depiction of the future. Your judgements are based on our current limitations. Try not to overthink it.

[serjito87]

we should refuse to many good things if we want the world to last longer

[fireofenergy]

Many levels to which electric transport is accessed, say, up to 127th St. All electric cars travel one way in little "circles within circles" to cancel the need for stop lights. A "yard space" is mandatory according to law (based on 1,000 year old psychiatric research). Giant foundation robotic platform builders transform raw earth into the framework for the cities far cheaper than people.

Closed cycle nuclear was needed to save Earth! And NO! They don't have to conserve energy {anymore}.

[SafasoTV]

looks like a halo earth.

[kyleharper457]

No No No... Its just the covenant glassed earth ..

[dontrustwhiteyever1]

you stole this from halo!!!!

[streetsurfer133]

Earth will be like courscant in Star Wars

[dropdeadugly100]

Reminds me of Coruscant.

[blackopsrule]

We are just BARLEY making it on Earth, I can imagine how fun it will be when we go to another planet 5x bigger than earth...

[saradomin89898]

@blackopsrule It is going to take a few years to build up if we move to another planet / moon, like build bio domes big enough to support huge populations

[dogalways]

i know earth will be fine in many years

[fartsam08]

Always wanted to live on Coruscant...

[Calledtogaming]

@fartsam08 I was thinkin the exact same thing. It looks like either Coruscant or Nar-Shaddaa

[bannedbyMusloons]

Did NASA really did this because in all honestly it looks just like Coruscant in Star Wars. And I doubt NASA would have done it this way.

[TheJ1979]

Looks like every crop circle ever created just caught on fire.

[Smitamas101]

hmmm well, its still round, the sun is still there and there's plenty of light polution... whats new?

[buttsecksist]

what our civilisation may look like in the future. LOL. the way this world is heading we'll be lucky to suck out another 5 years. and thats no lol.

[jisuspisus4]

Looks like Star Wars!

[evilsamer]

you guys should know that what happens to the earth is in our hands, god has given it to us, we still destroy it. its just like suicide we are wrecking our shelter and that can kill us all all this is in mans' hand.....

[evilsamer]

you guys should know that what happens to the earth is in our hands, god has given it to us, we still destroy it. its just like suicide we are wrecking our shelter and that can kill us all all this is in mans' hand.....

[darthsugi89]

@evilsamer Shut up. We've been on Earth for million years, and we probably be on it for another million. You Religious people always have "Doomsday" on your mind.

[MiChiamoEpic]

is this halo reach lol?

[Xenosaberz]

Thats the Halo reach trailer...

[4marchbaby12]

I HATE CIRCLES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[natemorey]

hmm, to be honest I have a feeling our cities will NOT from into gant rings connected by singular lines of city... more like how we are going now... random and unorganized cuz its cheap lol

to me i think it looked like it was ruined at first... i dont know if i like earth at night.

[Flipperz081]

is this good or bad

[Rais155]

So the earth can survive meteors, comets and nuclear warfare but bottles and cans are gonna destroy it in no time? wtf people

[AdamEtheredge]

Wow. That's some gorgeous animation!

[Aaron2071]

I could see something like this happening in 500-1,000 years from now, but not anytime within OUR lifetimes for sure. After all, the entire population of the world could fit comfortably in Texas and Rhode Island lol

[2knowfun2]

hello!Incredible! watch my video (the creation of universe), in my channel: 2knowfun2,

dont forget to subscribe, rate and commment my videos...thx a lot! thxs

[watiska]

this is from the game halo this isnt real guys ...

[communistrecords]

Let's make a galactic empire. It'll be fun.

[hmobvaj2]

there is no way you can see light from space...i mean from space to earth....that would mean that the person is useing 10000 of energy sources

[FS9Media]

did you just mean if i were in space and look down at the earth at nught time i cant see anylight? if so that's kinda wrong...

[thatkindofguy234]

this looks strangley like coruscant from star wars XD but awesome if thats wat it will look like! I've always wanted the future to look like that :D

[TheFXGuy]

that's exactly what I thought... the shape of the cities mixed with the dead-ish colored ground makes it seem like a city-oriented planet.

[stickmanpwner64]

@thatkindofguy234 Your right earth is now coruscant!

[iwdsdr]

Is there still civilization in that time ore is the human race already extinct then because of diverse catastrophies like wars or nature, maybe shortage of space

[EMPPT]

Also, those circle lights look like Arcology's to me :)

The one that I presume to be Florida is the one that shows, in most detail, this teory as it covers both land and water.

[EMPPT]

Pan-Global City = FTW

[jjld90]

hell no, we're not even a type 1 civilization yet.

[IrishClanKing]

i would say just by looking at it that this would probably be a type 2 civilization or late type 2 but not yet type 3.

[fallbread]

cool vid

[lordteapot]

not sure if anyone pointed this out, but this is the scene from the star trek film "first contact" in which we see the earth as it would have been in the late 24th century had the borg sphere succeeded in assimilating the earth of the past in 2061. this paradox lasts only a few seconds, as the enterprise-E follows the borg ship back through its time portal and sets things mostly right.

[kakalunga]

Now we just hafta make sure we don't completely kill ourselves and eachother before getting to this...

[minyguy]

yup and ill be the world leader....he...hehe....MUW...M­UWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[euforii666]

stfuuu

[minyguy]

i kill you first...

[euforii666]

omg,i will run like forest.

[WolYou]

I dont want to live in a world made out of ugly cities. I dont understand people who like to live in a city anyway. They are grey, loud, stinking and full of anonymous people with all kinds of psychoses. But anyway, for me its good if they all move to the city. There is more for me left outside of them :)

[disal1991]

accept it dude its inevitable for earth to become a protectcrate mega city. u cant run away from civilization. it will go on through the stars.

now shut up and go die u hippie bastard.

[Clavsicus]

mmmm..... Star wars? ahahhahaah

[ijunkie]

We may very well have a Coruscant-like Earth in future centuries.

[TechnomancerMorhion]

Looks like Coruscant.  Nice video.

[nowherebrain]

That's one minute of my life I'm never getting back.

[beautifullover]

I'm sorry you feel that way "nowherebrain". I appreciate the video bc it gives us an idea, perspective, and a conceptual view of what collections of our civilization on earth would look like. Also, the reason why the cities look like a bunch of circles is because apparently there will have to be many big cities right next to each other. If you take a look at big cities from above at night you'll see... I also appreciate movies, animation, and expression... This is like a glimpse into the future.

[Xxero0]

Okay. So in the future our lights look like circles. And?

[beautifullover]

The reason why the cities look like a bunch of circles is because apparently there will have to be many big cities right next to each other... If you take a look at big cities from above at night you'll see... "And?" I appreciate movies, animation, and expression. How would you like if I made fun of your videos?

[Xxero0]

It's your opinion, I wouldnt care. -_-

But the thing is... if there were many big cities right next to eachother, we'd have to start building up instead of spreading out. So instead of circles, I'd expect cylinders (somewhat..). AND you get the idea, just speaking my mind...

[beautifullover]

We would have to go up, eventually... But this is depicting before that happens. This is depicting the growth of cities like we have now, growth of our civilization as we know it. .... In the distant future, you can "expect" other ways of human life that are different than how we live now. This is not being depicted in a future that distant.

[EricNyhmfan]

@Xxero0 Lol that would be funny all the big citys merging into each other than we get a star wars style 1 planet city.

[drche420]

@Xxero0

Um geometry must not be your strong suit. Cylinders viewed from above would appear as circles..

[martinmartiini]

@beautifullover

Coruscant from "Star Wars" is the basis for this image .. as pointed out by most commentators here ...

and ...

WHY should Urban Planning & City Buiding Design be circular ??

[clubmimo123]

wats so future about it? its because more in the future (witch is now) is now all bad...earth is loseing its balance and may die any time (no water,no plants,no food...ect)so please follow the gud thing...rycylcle and reuse things...this may sound like a baby thing...but its hope...this way our world will last even longer

[Kerbezena]

recycling can't solve the problem, whereby I don't want you to not do it, but the real solution to our problems is the approach of "The Venus Project". Watch "Zeitgeist Addendum" to find out, what I mean.

[clubmimo123]

hmm...i guess your right...but part of mine may be a half but recycling could kinda help the earth from dieing....

[sk8rmagicflip]

Kerbezena is right theres this plan called zeiteist it may be the solution to save earth but the problem is its like an hour and thirty minutes long and its very hard to understand but if you watch it 2 times you will under stand it it maybe boring but if you listen and watch youl be amazed what the plan can do but il tell you one thing you gotta be real smart and get deep into it to under stand

[beautifullover]

It's "future" because it is a conceptual video about what large amounts of cities filled with people will look like in the future. .... Yes. Recycling is 1 way. Using less energy is another. And, keeping the population down is another..... Taking the Earth for granted and over-using what is available it is the wrong thing to do. ... There needs to better "World Planning."

[dontmesswithmeth]

@clubmimo123 are you retarded?

Recycling won't stop global warming or slow it down.

For every person who starts recycling there is a person who will start using fossil fuels.(2 people born every second)

Overpopulation is our problem, china has the right idea with the 1 child policy.

If we just half the worlds population we might stand a chance.

[Simon5005]

I don't get it either. it looks like a video of landing in Miami at night.

[squallisbk]

its star wars u fools

[handsomejustin]

that's wayy too bright, normal human beings will be blind by those much lights

[antovador]

great, they take the idea from Coruscant

[leepietzsch]

soooo there will be lava circles instead of crop circles

[kfag101]

God is awesome!

[RoadRageFTW]

What the hell is so futuristic about this?

[Calmbeforethestorm09]

This video doesnt tell me jack shit about the future

[theNBA2000]

Thats Star Wars you faggot thats coruscant

[007cannonball]

So who gives a shit what earth will look like from space? What? Are we afraid what the aliens visiting us will think?

[8dahar1]

Pfft, yeah.... how would you feel if someone drove by your house and saw tin foil put up in the windows?

[StephenHP44]

Well a lot of people give a shit. For thousands of years we looked up at the sky wondering what other worlds look like, and never knew what our own did. And now we know.

[gregtube88]

I think I see my house.

[vrshowdown]

that earth must have  a huge amusement park!

[whangarei12]

that looks like coruscant from star wars

[Gothic7876]

Yea it looks like Earth will become a Ecumenapolis, for who those who dont know what that means one huge city covering the all of the land

[Protodeika]

That looks like shots from the Knowing

[ExpressTion43]

oh wow , have you gon to school ? because frankly this isnt wht scientists had in mind . this is not wht NASA preformed for you to see . get your facts straight instead of assuming ? the suns power isnt tht strong i guess , well not enough to burn the earth tht bad .

[jn5162]

Those are city lights not burrns

[rfry]

If the sun is the problem we can just build a huge mirror that blocks some of the sun lite away from the earth, to balance the temp

[D4RKPWN]

Global warming = myth.

Is it mans fault we are making earth warmer?

No. its the Sun.

Sun + heat = More heat = More heat on earth So yeah

[b0utch]

now thats a stupid statement

[brutaka359]

WOW guess what, your wrong! Ask teachers or scientists... anyways who told you that crap? Sun warming the Earth, what a joke!

[ototero]

Before you say anyone is wrong, check out ALL the facts, not just the ones that support global warming.

Check out Global Dimming. At least get a balanced view of the "facts".

[zerocool098]

Sun + carbon dioxide emission = heat cannot escape.....whose producing lots of carbon dioxide? humans with their combustion fuels

[skyarsalan]

yeah and for some gay reason the government is frikken paying retards like nasa to go to space , to accomplish what , if i know theirs a frikken galaxy 3 trillion years away does that matter at all!?

why the hell in'sent he paying people to fix this problem they started?!!

[brutaka359]

yeah! In my country Croatia just spents money on more cars and more buildings (they cut down a whole forest)

[Fuzileer]

The only way to ensure this planets survival is to bring mankind back to the stoneage and work its way forward again. And it needs to be done. With our different countries and borders and ideologies, nobody is willing to work together. The solution? Anarchy. It may cause temporary harm of a huge scale to the planet, but its better than letting it rot to destruction.

[b0utch]

you are damn crazy sir

[Fuzileer]

But its true.

[brutaka359]

LOL yeah! It's freaking crazy but true!

[brutaka359]

The north and south pole is melting because of the pollution and people will not try to save it because they care about money and their polluting car's so... there is no future Earth.

[Nemesis2459]

wonder if 2012 is right and we all die from a global warming catastrophe. 3 years left ppl make the most of your lives.

[brutaka359]

umm..... no! People made that crap up, they say in 2012 Jesus will come and save us from Global Warming! But I don't belive in that.

[Vatroslav2109]

this looks horrible.. i wouldnt want to live on a planet like this.. where are the different, beautifull ecosystems? Where are millions of plants and animals? Where is the difference in the landscape, from green mountains of New Zealand to beautiful natural parks like Yellowstone? This is like a scene from some post apocaliptic movie tbh..

[kujo665]

you know corosaunt of star wars lol thats what well turn the planet into :)

[DEFENDERL]

разве это не настоящее?

[sk8boarderboy]

earth in the fuuture?? KOOOOL!!!

[apachee6759]

Idiots....This video means that the Earth will have cities all over the world. It is not Volcanic erruption, nor Damage to the Ecosystem. If someone here have seen a city over a flight, they would understand.

[Leifthrasir]

You mean an Ecumenopolis?

[henryvoo]

those lights look like erupting volcanos and lavasss O_O

[UkTruthSeeker2009]

Beautiful wish I could go up to look down and see that view .

[one1thug]

so nice!!

[Charles2337]

Yeah Earth wont look like that in the future. You cannot simply wipe out entire ecosystems. I think cities in the future will integrate with nature. Green roofs are the first steps.

[starwarsguy9]

True, humans couldn't survive if we were the only lifeforms living here, not without cannibalism, yuck!

[cpisretartedmuch]

well actrually they will

but! theres a catch

have you ever heard a farm in a city?

growing herbs and trees next to or inside or on roofs of buildings

there will still be city lights

but once u go inside the city like that, it will look alot like a jungle or forest combined with a bright city

thats what i think some parts of the us might look like

[Charles2337]

Yeah a mix of nature and city.

[R055HP]

Either that or buildings will be so large that the forests will be INSIDE the buildings. Artificial environments and what-not.

[vide0viwer]

but dude when you look at stuff like this, you are also looking beyond are present technology and population soon we might find away to convert c2o into oxygen much better than a plant does. Also might be able to find away to rapidly grow food so there will be no need in large farms and Greenland so eventually it will end up like this even if we do find other planets to inhabit it will be still be the heart of the empire so it will still be the highest populated

[R055HP]

Yes, but why would we want to do this? This planet is far more beautiful in its natural form. Hopefully, one day it will actually be some sort of natural reserve, with people leaving to live elsewhere so that it may return to its natural state.

[SE578]

THERE BETTER BE SOME COUNTRY LEFT! 0_0

[WillandMikeinc]

that is just corusant from star wars with clouds over it

[JuliusRoden]

It looks great!

[nataliaisuglyandfea]

it looks like star wars coruscant

[Revansmask17]

Cosont looks like Earth.

[AxePowerx]

idiots

[Sammy32201]

STAR WARS!!!!! GAWSH!!!!

[killazilla357]

ahaha u like star wars ur a nerdy fag .. go watch star wars ...FAG

[0wNatoR]

Hah! It looks like Corousant :)

[SilentFartx3]

this is from star wars!!!!

[Revansmask17]

I waisted one minute watching a planet I already live on, how amazing.

[Udany147]

You live on Coruscant?

[LavaLampGuy]

why does everyone think that future cities are going to be in a circular shape?

[covykiller]

It's just how humans build cities if they aren't bordered by a sea or ocean. It's mostly just convenient.

[LavaLampGuy]

really? hmmmm... that does make sense. considering it lessens traffic right?

[Udany147]

It's true. Cities are always built out from the centre into circle shapes.,

[sattanhellsing]

nasa = nazy check project paperclip and how they changed Nazy identity to work with them in the usa ...nasa rocket is actually the V2 german missile , strangely usa didnt have any rocket before the second war ..lol and ended up with a space project just after .. , we call thats despotism .

[Hedgehogs4Me]

Apparently, someone was bored (and skilled) enough to do this. Interesting.

[EHWButler]

It's a scene from Star Wars dude :-)

[zouless]

wow, I would surely put 2 or 3 nukes down there :P

[bamadawgsc]

I think I saw Yoda down there somewhere!

[stevenaudet]

It'S time to smoke a huuuuuge doobie

[madlutist]

Look within yourself, child. You are the clown of which they speak.

[carlose97]

dude i was kidding about dis fucken shit i dont belive in that kind crap

[madlutist]

Trust me. That explains my overly-philosophical, random, metaphorical retort.

I just enjoy how dramatic those chain messages try to sound, and how much they fail at it. So I decided to add another level of cheesy drama to it by saying something ridiculous. That's all.

[gregart999]

★★★★★ [just watch it again] ★★★★★

[imbaz19]

Coruscant it is :D

[Adityac1]

The aliens will be scared and you cant see a city so close enough from space I don't think NASA really made this animation, NASA is not that stupid

[Daitmenlog]

This is a Coruscant.

[4Love10]

naa,i think is Earth Mass Effect

[InplantPanic]

looks much like the planet coruscant from star wars

[epratas]

yep..not ever aliens would stop by to refuel or go to the gift-shop :) but if we don't take care, we'll be the ones living there whether like it or not.

[HAMISHDELUX]

Looks Like Some Shit Off Star Wars

[MEXICANJOKER45]

dammm if earth loked liked that in the fiture fucking aliens would get scared

[Timmytard190]

I say we should add that Coruscant-style to it, but add huge-ass buildings that are like a 2 miles high, and they have living communities in them.

[daveythewavey19]

probably, but cities aren't going to be arranged in circles like that, there's no point. I always wanted Earth to be like coruscant.

[exziler56]

your kidding right? where are the trees and green and oceans? is the planet going to become one big nyc???

[ajgio]

Pritty much and countrys like USA and China will become like that first due to theere allready largeish citys and population oh and england because its soo small with a median pop

[lionheart6688]

without the green we die.

[FaithIsImaginary]

Naah, just replace the plants with a more efficient photosynthesis process based on nanotechnology.

I can't wait for "Plants 2.0" without all that damn pollen.

[stormbreakeralways]

5/10

[ghowe92]

if i were an alien and i wonted to invade earth lookin like that i'd shit myself

[HotFuzz456]

Wow, It looks like that city planet on starwars!! I know the name of it, buy if I typed I would become a nerd!!

[sportin360]

lol thas hilarious lol lmao...."i kno the name but if i typed it id look like a nerd" lol ...im actually crying lol

[milkmanpaul]

Thats cool

[MakTrumpeter]

What video did you set this from? I can't find it...

[Charles2337]

That was awesome.

[Mikey7889]

one of them looked like a smiley face lol

[Cumulonimbus82]

looks like Coruscant

[VaNaztii]

is this like a real video from space?
