What Did the Ancient Mars Look Like? Geography of the Red Planet

We are used to imagining Mars as a cold barren planet devoid of any life-giving water and atmosphere. It’s been covered with lifeless deserts seared by lethal cosmic radiation for billions of years now. Still, the surface of Mars bears traces of ancient seas and rivers, which were even more turbulent and water-abundant than those on Earth. And the deeper we delve into the history of the Red Planet, the more startling aspect it assumes.

Hi, everyone! It is probably the most elaborate episode in the history of our channel. Three months of painstaking work. So, how is it?

[EjbiRTS]

Wish such shows were on tv on regular basis. At least we have this!

[barba]

Moving around like we were on the surface was a cool idea: 'and here we go SW and find...'. This was the best Mars video I've seen. Good job.

[WCKD.]

I think this was Nat Geo quality! Perfectly executed and super interesting topic. These kind of videos about Mars, Ceres, 16 Psyche and Titan are my favorites. Keep up the good work!

It was a wonderful journey again, Kosmo. What surprises me most, is that Mars is only a fraction the size of Earth, but some of it's features are really extreme in size. Like the big scar that is thousands of km's wide and 15(?) km's deep. Bizare!

Killed this one, cuz. Production value unmatched.

[andrewgibson]

I always feel sad for Mars because it didn't quite make it !

[rodneymcgiveron]

THIS IS AMAZING....I so enjoyed this documentary....Five stars for quality....Cheers from Australia..

[mikeullger]

All of your content is awesome, can see the effort and passion in all you do!! Well done!!

[thinkbeforyouvote]

Holy cow guys. You have really outdone yourselves and I have only watched a portion of it so far. I have been watching space shows for decades and most of it is the same scientists, talking about the same stuff, just a little older and wearing a different outfit. This is real.

[tonysargent]

Most enjoyable! Thankyou for that episode.
Yes, let's keep in touch.

[StoptheHateJustDebate]

This is the best documentary I’ve seen on Mars. Excellent work!

[hugodesrosiers-plaisance]

Candy for the eye, food for the brain. Wonderful material. I wrote an extensive school project about Mars many years ago. Thank you all for your hard work.

[Sae]

Excellent video! Congratulations! Keep it up!

[richardpapp]

Amazing job! Thank you for all your efforts.

[akibabe]

I love anything about Mars😊❤. Stunning work! Reminds me of the days when i watched channels like Nat. Geo and whatnot

[michaelbuteau]

This video was way too good to be this short. 90 minutes would have been perfect. So much better than the stuff you see on television. I applaud everybody that Produce it. Thank you very much for the great entertainment.

[eblake]

This is grade A content! Thank you for your work!

[brunov]

Amazing as always! Bravo!
Thank you!

Its so sad that Mars was so close to being a habitable world with life, same with Venus, but due to several parameters deviating from what Earth had, they ended up being cold or hot lifeless worlds. Imagine if our solar system had three planets teeming with life, how would that have effected our civilizations?
