The First 10,000 Days on Mars | Timelapse

How would humans develop a colony on Mars? A permanent Mars base, capable of sustaining human life independently, has been a goal of many futurists, scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs. But developing such a colony would be incredibly difficult. Today, we explore the implementation of this idea in detail.

It's weird to think that I would love to be living on Mars, but one day there will be people living on Mars that wish they lived on Earth.

Great video. Loved the animations and thorough exploration of the timeline. One recommendation: for timeline videos like this, keep a date or time indicator always visible somewhere on screen. There were a few points during it where I lost track of where we were on the timeline. Also would have liked to see a quick conversion of days-to-years too just so I don't have to do the math in my head.

Living on mars would probably suck. You would be indoors almost all the time, and indoors would mean underground or in a mountain. Building structures on the surface isn't feasable unless we find more efficiant ways to protect against radiation. Either way, a neat video. Would like to see one about possible colonization of Titan next :P

The animation of these videos gets better every time, great job!

[Rafaga]

Beautiful video and great animation. Very enjoyable to watch. Much appreciated.

Imagine being born on mars. As cool as it sounds, i’m sure many kids will feel like they’re missing out on the plethora of activities and sights to see that earth offers.

Bring Alah into this potential situation and it will be a banger

I thought solar energy on mars was unlikely to work because of the extremely fine grained dust. It statically attaches to things, and can be extremely difficult to remove.

These videos remind me of kurtzsagt which is a huge compliment! I can see this channel getting big

This was an incredible video hopefully we live to see what happens after day 10, 000 and look back at this video and others like it to see how far we went vs how for we expected

Politically Mars would probably be much better than earth, because instead of having a bunch of politicians, who don’t care about anything in command, there would most likely be a scientist of some kind in command, because their lives depend on it, and if there’s a scientist in command, even if the scientist is only familiar with a very specific field, still, he would be looking out for the interest of the survival of the colony in the long term and not just the short term. Mars would have the best politics.

Love the video, but I'd say the reactors will be brought to Mars, as Copenhagen Atomics is already producing thorium reactors out of the factory, once landed they can be online in a matter of days to power the colony (given the infrastructure has been prepared for them, also one of the first things to be build are the fuel stations, to refuel the ships and send them back home so the next wave coming to Mars is even bigger.

[blizzard]

very optimistic prognosis.. a lot can and will not go as planed.

[SuperFlyingElasticLaserMonkey]

This is absurdly ambitious. People will not rush to Mars. Life there will not be attractive to the vast majority of people, as it lacks every single basic comfort and all the things we enjoy on earth. You'd have a hard time getting 1000 people to move to Mars even if you paid them. You have to permanently give up things like going outside, breathing fresh air, eating anything but plants, etc. This is nothing at all like colonizing on earth. Even gathering resources requires you to risk your life.

The animation is improving every time. Keep it coming!

[Pedrok]

If anything bad happens it could be a one way mission with little chance of survival

[lucaslemeTheMonkey]

10:44 this is unreal. We have a very nice and healthy planet, living on Mars is about doing cool things in space and not living on a planet with unbreathable air

But, congratulations! Very nice!

[axeldasilva]

I love all your videos and this one is now my favorite by far.

[sigma.m]

Great video! Also do one for moon colonization and also terraforming Mars.

I still do not understand, how this channel does not have millions of
