In the future, man will permanently settle on Mars. Mars will be terraformed in a period of 100 years. By 2030, there will be 2 ways to get there: by rocket or by space elevator. Be sure to subscribe for more space videos!

  • there trying to make a space shutle like appolo but alitle difrent there gonna try to send a man to a giant midior by 2025 and a man to mars at 2030 :)

  • you got a lot of fantasy, anyway the song was awesome David Bowie rules :)

  • @CognitiveNetwork well the gravity of the earth is the force (or attraction) keeping all the air and gasses close to the earth, so it will still "pull" the gasses back into the earth.

    While it is true that pressure naturally goes from high to low (without the added energy) the gravitational attraction of the earth contains the air around us and overcomes the force of pressure which pushes it outwards.

    So in the end... no, gravity will attract it back to earth, so there is no danger there ;)

  • @PhysicsManual But what if a small hole appears at the top of the elevator, then wouldn't all air, all gasses from earth, escape into the vacuum?

  • @CognitiveNetwork

    But building a space elevator to low-Earth-orbit would be very beneficial, as 2/3 the fuel (and costs) of a space missions past low earth orbit, are spent on reaching said orbit. A space elevator would reduce costs and fuel requirements, constituting cheaper and more effective space travel.

  • @CognitiveNetwork the carbon nano tubes would (as I believe you correctly presented) be the only material strong enough to support a space elevator. However, this material would not be anywhere strong enough to prevent the planets from continuing their orbit, and as the distance between the planets continually changes, would therefore break.

  • @dekippiesip

    Elevator is just for get something to orbit Earth / Mars. Travel between remain same.
