Production value of this video is crazy. Great job!

[billgiesbrecht]

The cable TV that I grew up couldn't compare to the production quality that you are providing.
Your channel is an example why the networks are collapsing. Great content. Coming from an old man who dreamed of becoming an architect as a young boy. The joy I found then is being relived today through your channel. The beautiful thing is that I am not experiencing regret but a renewed youthful curiosity to visit the world of architecture to experience the built poetry that has been and continues to be built.
Thank you

I was part of a project in the 7th grade called Marsville in 1994. Science classes from multiple schools around the area competed to figure out how to build a colony on Mars, and sustain it.

I was part of the water reclamation department. We had to design a system that would provide a continuous water supply for people, for any animals we had, for the plants, and for the atmosphere. We'd had ideas ranging from purifying urine to pumping in water from the poles, to using the Star Wars equivalent of a vaporator inside the domes (which were all inflatable) to capture and store water vapor. We figured out that we had to tie our system into the other departments to make them homogenous.

We built (inflated) a small settlement inside an old aircraft hanger in Merced, CA. All of the classes were competing to create the best, most efficient design most likely to succeed.

We sci-fi nerds of the classes were the ones coming up with wild 'what if?' ideas (bringing water from the poles, and using Star Wars style vaporators inside was my idea.)

I don't even remember who submitted this challenge to my school's science department. It's hard to know if whomever did used any ideas from all of the nerdy 12 and 13 year old kids.

Kids can be brilliant. Their imaginations can sometimes come up with ideas adults can't due to the freedom they still have to entertain wild ideas. I hope they got something from us that at least jump-started some new ideas for surviving on Mars. :)

For the first inhabitants of Mars just remember: "He who controls the spice, controls the universe!"

Projection, projection, projection... I was living in a basement for a while with absolutely no windows. I set up a projector with surround sound and had the ocean constantly projected in a video loop on one entire wall. It was a game changer. It felt like I was living literally right on the beach. I even let it run while I slept with a night beach scene. It was very relaxing and that closed in and buried feeling was gone. I picture a special room on Mars with real grass and plants growing in it. Video projections running non stop of either the wilderness or some beautiful place. It could even be timed with a sprinkler system that waters everything from above and projects a rainy day on the walls. Not quite a Star Trek hollow deck, but close.

Being a WFH and usually spends my entire day alone sometimes makes me sit down and just daze off for a few minutes because of sadness. I get outside and exercise and be expose to nature from time to time to remain sane. I couldn't imagine living in an enclosed environment like that for a long period of time. Thanks for this video, really nice presentation.

Absolutely love your takes on the human aspect of the mission and habitats! This is really something I have not seen on other channels, who just condense information without adding their own professionality or twist.

I work providing mental health in a state prison for about 4 years. A lot of what you're describing about the potential living conditions and psychological effects of living on Mars really reminds me of what I saw in prisons. Some of the people I worked with there were really negatively affected, others were totally fine. I think we could learn a lot about studying residents of prisons, that could help us prepare for living on Mars. I don't think the fundamental of psychology of prisoners is really that much different than anyone else, people are people.

Demi is a creative, thoughtful, informative, compelling communicator. I have enjoyed all her episodes I have viewed so far.

[johncliffalvarez]

These videos just keep getting better and better! Definitely a turning point to this channel ❤ I never thought I’ll get this much into knowing more about architecture and its symbiotic relationship with us. By the way, the ASMR that the very texture of your voice provides makes taking in all this information effortless.

As a child, one of my most treasured memories, was when I had the opportunity to freely roam around the State Secretariat administrative building, totally unsupervised.
My mum was a caterer in the cafeteria, and I would come around after school to just help out. It really helped in enriching my sense of wonder and curiosity.

Lovely video as always, Dami.

Another benefit of vertical habitats is exercise. Lower gravity means lowers bone density. So getting steeper stairs to offset martian gravity will do a world of good for muscle and bone strength

I worked on the night shift in an underground facility for over three years. Human contact was minimal at best. I can say that isolation can have a real impact. The guy who did the night shift before me was there for 5 years and he was considered quite odd. I always wondered what he was like before the night shift down there. Thank goodness I am an introvert who loves books and their aura.

I was a medican intern until recently and, surprisingly, I think I can provide some imput on this.
The rut is real. The creeping insanity is real. The alienation from other people and other spaces outside of your little bunker is real.

Even the most humane spaces can mess with your head. I lived with my internship group for 2 weeks at a hospital outside of town while we were on rotation there. It felt like a month or two. With nothing to do besides work or roam the halls and small outside area, with the stress of constantly being around people's sensitive workplaces and a highly competitve test coming up, we went a little mad. It felt like Hotel Outlook.
I think another really good comparison to this Mars mission are oil rigs. People spend months at a time working and living in there. There's also that intrusive mix of work and private life.

15:01 *two years for each Earth-Mars transit window. Also the vertical design with stairs gives you much needed exercise in the low gravity environment. You'd still need to work out, but this could trim a couple of minutes on your daily workout by distributing it though the day, which also reduces monotony.

It's not that I didn't love your older videos, but this was such a huge leap forward and on a kind of subject that I found fascinating. I really appreciate what you're bringing all these projects. Thank you so much.

[hri]

The production value, research and just overall love put into this video is insane.. also I think this is the first video I've seen where the sponsor makes so much sense for the topic lol

[canowyrms]

I really liked the clips at the end showing the studio and the process. Behind-the-scenes peeks like that are so cool.

[IhabFahmy]

_Well done Dami. Other environments where peple spend lots of time confined in the same close quarters with no (or little) access to the outside are _*_hospitals_*_ and _*_jails_*_ . Maybe you could do a couple of episodes on the architecture of those structures._

[damilolaneal]

The light shadow effect when comparing different layouts of a typical martian home is the epitome of how much attention to detail is in your videos. Love it!
