Why Is It So Hard To Go To The Planets Of The Solar System?

Why is Mercury the most difficult planet to visit despite being close to earth?
Even though Mercury is the second closest planet to Earth, this is also the most challenging planet to visit, but why?

Why is it so difficult to get to Mars?
In addition to Earth, Mars is the planet with the best conditions to host humans

Jupiter is the most visited gaseous planet of all; throughout the history of space exploration, it has been visited by nine spacecraft; however, so far, only one ship has managed to cross its dense atmosphere to observe its interior. Is it tough to land a spaceship on Jupiter?

Why is it so difficult to get to Saturn?
Since space exploration began, only four spaceships have managed to reach Saturn. But, only one managed to enter the planet's bowels and reveal what is hidden under its cloud-filled atmosphere. Is it difficult to get to the planet with the giant asteroid rings?

Why is it so difficult to get to Uranus? The strangest planet

Uranus is the only planet tilted; because of this, one of its poles is always pointing at the sun and the other in the opposite direction.

Is it challenging to get to Neptune, the farthest planet?
Neptune is the farthest planet in the solar system.

Why is it so difficult to get to Pluto?
this dwarf planet is more than 6 billion kilometers from Earth, and the only spacecraft that has managed to observe it directly was New Horizons on July 14, 2015

Why is it challenging to get to Proxima Centauri?
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the solar system; however, with modern technology, it would take thousands of years to reach that star.

ive been to all but Neptunne and Uranus.... with my telescope.. i think the moon is still my fav to gaze at... then Jupiter and its moons... then Saturn... then Deep Space Objects, Orion Nebula, Messier Objects, Andromeda...

[alfredshort]

Orbital mechanics isnt like driving to walmart

[mechanicallycreative]

Still remember being facinated by the black and white photos of venus' suface from venera 13.

I did 18 months in prison without communicating with anyone on the outside. I had no TV or radio but read a lot of books. I could do mars.

Back in the sixties, we found the money for space, because we HAD to do everything before the Russians. Now that we don't have any competition anymore, there is no more incentive. 😢

[michaelrainerii]

Awesome video. Thanks for the breakdown.

[TheFABIOCOOL]

This video is a fever dream, I'm pretty sure this is an AI based channel

[hefqltp]

Because people like fighting wars better than advancing science, technology, and humanity. Plus there's always the "Glass Dome". 😅

[mexhxxt]

I want more videos like that ...including from Triton...
Tho solar system is so complex...and when you say you know everything than you will know less because there are many things left who can surprise you ....

[myfootballjesus]

Fighting wars is more immediate issue than sending machines to planets that offer no monetary benefit in return

[kimepp]

We need a moonbase forst to work out the bugs.

[kevanhubbard]

Gaining and loosing the Delta V seems to be the problem and with the inner planets, Venus and Mercury, you have a lot more Delta V to shed than with Mars.

[xbmxwsj]

I don’t appreciate how the writing of this video felt like it was clearly written to be turned into shorts/reels. Every 5 seconds reiterating the subject almost as if you need 30 second spans of time where you explain what we are talking about. Other than that. Great vid

[ThestKing]

6:19 your example is more complicated to understand than the real thing. Nice job.

[Fred_Nickles]

It sounds like humans are the equivalent to someone who would like to travel miles across an uncharted ocean to the smallest land point beyond the horizon, while at the same time being barely capable of driving our car to our friends house a town over 😅

[jlomesou]

Next video: Why is it so difficult to walk between the raindrops?

[FredrickWendroff-umkn]

Its not hard, it's extremely expensive.
I worked in a shop for many years, customers would have something they needed built or repaired and often asked if it could be done.
I loved the owners reply...
" we can do anything if you have the money "

[Rkenton]

Think of it as walking north from the southernmost tip of South America, up the American continents, crossing the frozen arctic by the North Pole, and then walking south through Asia, into Africa, all the way down to the Cape of Good Hope. It could be done, but it ain't gonna be easy.

[joshuacoleman]

One interesting thing to consider is "removing" resources from Earth if we do start making bases elsewhere. Obviously this can be offset by collecting resources from wherever we put up bases but surely there would be a significant cost to move those resources to Earth for refining before that infastructure is created at those outer bases.

[Numba]

I would enjoy seeing a video on Triton! I'm not terribly knowledgeable when it comes to the moon systems of the Ice Giants. One day, it would be nice to get some solid orbiters to all the major solar system bodies. Thank you for this video!
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
