TIMELAPSE OF TERRAFORMING MARS (Turning Red Green)

40 SpaceX Starships are terraforming Mars. Slowly transforming the Martian atmosphere, water begins to flow on the surface. Building the foundation for long term Mars colonization.

Going beyond the ‘First 10,000 Days on Mars’ and 2050, this is a timelapse look into the future.

Humans are surviving on Mars underground, in a crater habitat. A deep crater is enclosed, creating a mini Earth that is open and breathable. Tunnel diggers dig into the sides of the crater, creating more space and connecting other craters, landing pads, and lava tubes to form an underground Mars colony network..

Thank you for watching. If you enjoyed this timelapse about building on Mars, you might like my new written articles, such as "From Dust to Structures: How to Create Concrete and Metal on Mars." These articles can be viewed on my website www.vx-c.com, through my newsletter, or on my Patreon Membership.

This follows along the same line that author Kim Stanley Robinson wrote about Mars. A three book series called Red Mars, Blue Mars, & Green Mars.
If you haven't read this series I would recommend them, it's a good read and thought provoking.

have you used AI? I know that there are people who criticize it, but I am glad that these spectacular videos can be made with little budget.

[SlipKnotRicky]

I think the Energy required to accomplish this has been severely underestimated....

[seanconnolly]

I think we need to stop turning our own world into a lifeless rock before thinking about turning lifeless rocks into the garden of Eden.

[PHDiaz-vvyo]

And literally at the start you throw in some Expanse. Damn I love you guys

[rick]

You guys are the best of the best when it comes to making these futuristic theories turn into what feels like a real time documentary - incredible work!

[miguelvelazquez]

And Madam Avasarala giving the intro. Beautiful.

[theobserver]

I had not thought about submarine living to easily achieve pressure and shield against radiation. Great idea!

[gabrielsarabia]

I like this "play it by ear" approach.

[indigofuture]

The best video ever! You are one of my favourite youtube channel!

[rickkearn]

One can engineer radiation-resistant bacteria, but the one purpose for terraforming Mars - human colonization - still needs to be addressed, as it is inconceivably beyond our capabilities to engineer radiation-resistant humans. Stunning presentation. Great content and production. Thought-provoking and hopeful.

[williamkinsey]

I adore your optimism
You've been such an inspiration in these dark times.

[RetifsAiStories]

Enormous amount of work in that video, excellent ! Bravo.

[literallypatrickbatemen]

One problem with this is something that elon musk said, we can only visit Mars once every 2 years on account of the gravity pulls of the sun and earth itself. So it may take hundreds of years for this to happen
Edit: it seems that I've summoned multiple astronomers from nasa into my comments, read at your leisure.

10.44 mins of awesome entertainment, theoretical science and human imagination! Love it!👏👏👏👏

[rizwanmtc]

Mars is an incredible planet with so much potential for exploration and discovery. With recent advancements in technology and space exploration, we are closer than ever before to achieving our goal of sending humans to Mars and establishing a sustainable presence on the planet.
If you made this video, I salute your efforts, such a pleasure I feel, I literally not present in 2050 but this video took me like a time machine, I feel mars, ice, water atmosphere, river, plants what a contribution, heartly thanks.

[eoachan]

Although rather optimistic, well done! You actually mentioned the need to clean the soil of perchlorates, a fact many Mars terraforming vids seem to forget :)

[wranglerboi]

Actually, just warming the ice (such as it will be) won't create an atmosphere due to sublimation, (the natural tendency of ice to go directly from solid state to vapor state). With no atmosphere to retain it, it will simply be stripped away from the planet and end up in space. By the way, if you've never seen sublimation, the next time the temperature in your area goes below freezing, hang a towel or bedsheet or something similar outside. The first thing that will happen is that any water molecules in the fabric will freeze into ice crystals. If left alone, the ice will gradually change into vapor and then join the rest of the air in your area. I used to live in an area where it gets very cold in the winter, and my mom would hang bedsheets on her clothesline during the day. A few hours later, they would be as stiff as a board, and by morning they would actually be DRY!

This beautiful video is memento to a future dream of living among the Stars.
