I wouldn't mind living in the Marsha house right here on earth, it's probably cheaper than a regular house.

I wouldn't make it alive without earth, Earth is like a piece of a puzzle to my heart/life🌎♥️ ✌️

human: destroy earth then call it dangerous to live on, brilliant

[truthhurts]

Why would I want to miss all the trees, birds chirping, oceans, and just going for a walk without a space suit? No thanks I’m really good here at home sweet home.🌎 if something happens, then I die with it.

This series just keeps getting better and better. Claire Reilly is the Robert Stack of dystopian speculative scenarios. Keep up the great work!

I'll never leave earth, but thank you.

So many astronauts talk about how travelling into space gives them a new appreciation for life on Earth. I wonder whether an extended mission to Mars would make someone yearn for life back on Earth? I personally don't think I could get over the travel time...

There is no place like home, the Earth. Take good care of it. But that doesn’t mean we won’t want to venture elsewhere for adventure. It’s amazing how far we come and how much more we still need to go before we can have the journey to land a human on Mars.

Imagine being blessed with an already wonderful planet with oxygen, atmosphere, water, and good soil and just slowly ruining it.. Y'all wouldn't have to settle in a distant dying planet if you just didn't destroyed the perfect one. I mean we can still be exploring the space for further knowledge regarding alien life form.. y'all have millions of tax money to burn up in space yet little to less budget allocated for our planets revival.. what were you even thinking

12:21 ummm does this man think that everyone spends $50k on a Disney trip?! Disney’s an expensive girl but $50k???

Randy seems like a very humble man NASA should really offer him to teach the next generation

[semmicolon]

is it just me or is it really weird for cnet to have these high quality documentary kind of videos?

[ismannyb]

1000 year's later humans will look at earth from mars and wondered if there is life there

I think we should start using that 3-d printing technique here on earth to make super efficient and strong homes. Basalt and PLA are in no short supply here on earth. I’m quite sure the cost could be cheaper than a traditional brick and stud home. Likely cheaper than metal stud homes as well. Seeing as basalt is one of our hardest stone materials I imagine the R factor would be excellent. I know the ideas are for use in space, but why not take advantage here work out any bugs and have the process flawless and as affordable as possible. When the time comes to employ that technology on Mars. Seems, like a Win Win! Peace and Love

On of my favourite video thanks CNET .❤️❤️👍👍 Loved the video graphics and oratot👍👍❤️

Another huge problem is also that an extended stay in space has repercussions when you come back to gravity too. Many get bloated limbs, have trouble standing, experience dizziness etc. Many also have problems with their sight getting blurry in space and things like that. All of those things takes quite a long time to recover from. Not a good thing to have to deal with first thing on a different planet exactly.
