Life On Mars

Some of my modest attempts at rendering realistic (but imaginary) Martian landscapes, using Terragen, Imagine3D & other modeling tools. Thanks to Torley Wong for permission to use his music Neohippie (see http://torley.com ). This video was inspired by a collection of ground-breaking animations from the late 80's called The Mind's Eye. For more images & resources relating to Imagine, visit: http://www.imagine3d.org/

we should colonize mars with our own microscopic lifeforms first, namely Deinnococcus radiodurans.

@Andreloification

I can see the value in using an extremophile species like this one, especially since it is very resistant to radiation. But this is an aerobic organism that needs a source of oxygen to generate energy from organics in the environment. Would it be better to use an organism which can break-down iron oxides (such as those common in Martian soil) to free the bound oxygen?

I prefer to stay on the lovely EARTH <3

The idea of colonising the solar-system in one way or another, is inevitable. Dwindling resources on Earth means that even if we can learn to use our present (and future) resources with total 100% efficiency, we will eventually *still* run out.

Eventually, humanity will need to move out into the universe, or face extinction.

Dear fuckmania07

Thank you for taking the time to comment. This video is NOT about ALIENS or UFOs. It is about CONVENTIONAL FUTURE SPACE EXPLORATION BY HUMANS.

As such, it does not take into account the intervention of DEITIES, or other SUPERNATURAL phenomena, such as JESUS or SATAN.

If you wish to rationally discuss the myriad possibilities of Man's glorious future in Space, then by all means drag yourself down from your high-horse & come have a chat. Otherwise please go fuck yourself :p

@fragomatik word!

[playstaitionfreak101]

Well ya out of all the planets in the universe why would earth be the only planet with life

Theres other solar systems

[Deeptrekker416]

@klipo25 yeah but soon enough it won't be lovely no more. we continue to eat up resources no matter how we try to be efficient in doing so cuz we still eat. We eventually will, move out.. only time knows.. and of course it wont be on our generation

@silversurfer8016 Do you mind if I quote you on my channel...

W/ your credit of course...

@ukijhu97

Sigh. You made a rather naive comment about "supplies needed to transport from earth" & I answered with 2 simple examples from history, which u ignored. Then u made a lame remark about "no fukin crops on mars", ignoring the fact that PEOPLE CAN GROW CROPS.

That's fine, enjoy your ignorance. Its not my job to educate u or spoon-feed u the facts. LOOK THEM UP FOR YOURSELF. It's the only way u will learn. Until then, please don't bore me with anymore herp-derp comments, fair enough?

[ukijhu97]

@fragomatik dude comparing colonization to living on mars is a bit far-fetched dont ya think..? theres no fukin crops on mars. Major problem.
