THE FIRST 10,000 DAYS ON MARS (Timelapse)

The story begins in 2024 when Elon Musk and SpaceX launch 5 cargo ships to Mars. They land at Erebus Montes, paving the way for future humans to land, the construction of Mars Base Alpha, plants to grow, and later for a self sustainable Mars colony.

This Mars colonization mini documentary also covers what it is like living on Mars, how many people will be landing during each launch window mission, the Starship fleet, and how the Martian colony grows over the years, between 2024 to 2050.

Additional footage from: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona, European Space Agency, SpaceX, AI Space Factory, HASSEL, Tesla, The Boring Company

The first baby born on mars will definitly think earth is the coolest place ever

Credits to the cameraman who travelled to Mars in the future to give us these impressive scenes

I was 16 years old when I watched the first men land on the Moon, and I've been waiting for them to get to Mars ever since. I hope I'll still be alive to see it happen.

props to the camera man for going to mars for 10, 000 days to film this video

Imagine being the first human born on Mars having no experience of life on Earth and visiting Earth for the first time. “This is where it all started” ....holy shit that gives me goosebumps.

I'm downloading this and watching it again in 30 years to see how accurate it was.

I think that it would be a very good idea early on to put 12 or so robotic probes on an Aldrin cycle around Earth and Mars, carrying emergency supplies and equipment. If an emergency arises, they can remotely bring one of the probes down to the Mars surface rather than waiting month or years for relief to arrive from Earth.

It will be amazing when Mars is terraformed. It doesn't even need to look like a second Earth, just enough of an atmosphere to sustain an ecosystem.

After 1M population: let's play a classic game called "war".

This video is gonna be very popular in 5 years me thinks

Spend the money and time improving the beautiful planet we already live on

[thelonecabin]

imagine being a 13-year-old kid who's lived on mars your entire life and has only seen pictures of earth, and then actually going there.
edit: not saying he wouldn't become disabled while on earth but there would obviously be technology to at least allow his organs to be strengthened enough to function.

It takes a LOT of work and time to do videos like this. They're endlessly inspiring to somebody into this kind of thing. ❤

Fascinating and well-documented ! however I would suggest creating a magnetic field as early as possible to protect humans as well as sensitive electronics from solar wind particles. This would have the added benefits of slowing down atmospheric erosion and hence increasing atmospheric pressure. One elegant way to do that has been proposed by Jim Green and colleagues in 2017, when they wrote that a magnetic dipole could be placed at Lagrange point L1 forming an artificial magnetosphere (a shield, rather) that would protect the whole planet.

Waiting for the Gen alpha kids to comment “this aged so poorly lmfao” in 2035

"I used to live on earth"
OK grandpa that's enough for today go to sleep

The look of the colony keeps changing. At one point looked like mostly one big colony but by the end it was back to individual interconnected domes.

as a space nerd, i can confirm that this is relatively accurate, although the dates are extremely optimistic. This should all happen 10-20 years later than the video says, if it even happenes.
