Real Reason NASA Hasn't Sent Humans To Mars

- We could have been on Mars 30 years ago. At the peak of the Apollo era in the early '70s, NASA was already planning its next step into the unknown.
Its plans included building multiple space stations, continued trips to the Moon, and the first crewed mission to Mars by the 1980s. Can you imagine watching astronauts walk on Mars the same time the walkmen came out?
But NASA never sent humans to Mars in the '80s. And here we are 30 years later, still dreaming of the possibility. But the reason isn't necessarily a matter of technology or innovation. It actually comes down to politics.
As a government agency, NASA's goals are determined by the Executive Branch. Since its inception, NASA has served under 12 presidents. And it was clear near the start that not every president would support NASA equally.
By the end of Nixon's administration in 1974, NASA's budget had plummeted from 4% of the federal budget to less than 1%. Fully-funded Apollo missions 18 and 19 were abandoned along with Apollo 20.
At the same time, Nixon pulled NASA's focus away from the Moon and Mars and instead toward low-Earth orbit. His parting gift was to sign into effect what would eventually become NASA's Space Shuttle program.
Peter Diamandis: "So what's happened throughout all of space history after the Apollo program was over was to start, stop, start, stop, cancel. President comes in like Bush comes in to go to the Moon, back to Mars and next president comes in and cancels that. The agency is unable to sustain consistent funding to do anything."
It wasn't until the Space Shuttle Program was nearing retirement that a crewed mission to Mars was finally considered and funded by a US president.
George W. Bush, in 2004, announced:
"We will give NASA new focus and vision for future exploration. We will build new ships to carry man forward into the universe to gain a new foothold on the Moon."
As a result, NASA's Constellation Program was born. Never heard of it? That's because it was canceled a few years later. It aimed to send a crewed mission to the Moon in 2020 and land the first humans on Mars by the 2030s.
By the time Obama was sworn in, the Constellation Program was behind schedule and over budget. One year later, Obama canceled 100% of the program's funding.
"All that has to change. And with the strategy, I'm outlining today it will." -Barack Obama in 2010.
Obama shifted NASA's focus from sending people to the Moon and Mars to, ultimately, just Mars. In the process, he asked Congress to increase NASA's budget by $6 billion over the next 5 years.
As a result, NASA launched its "Journey to Mars" initiative in 2010, with the goal to send humans into orbit around Mars by the early 2030s. And, until recently, NASA was on track, more or less. Then, this happened.
“President Trump has launched the National Space Council and at the council’s inaugural meeting in October, we unanimously approved a recommendation to instruct NASA to return American astronauts to the moon and from there to lay a foundation for a mission to Mars.” -Mike Pence in 2017
Oddly enough, the space policy under Trump and Obama look nearly identical, save for 63 words. In those 63 words, Trump's administration has shifted the focus once again to a Moon-first, Mars-later initiative.
NASA isn't new to this. It's learned to recycle old projects to fit new missions. For instance, the Orion capsule was first developed for Constellation and has since been redesigned for the Journey to Mars.
But even that can't prevent the inevitable changes NASA programs now face under the new president.
"We're also going to realign the organizational structure to best meet this new exploration focus. I've asked Stephen Jurczyk the current head of space exploration to lead and effort to design a new organizational approach." -Robert M. Lightfoot, Jr. in 2018
As NASA pushes on, a new possibility has grown on the horizon. Privately-owned space companies like SpaceX also has its sights set on the red planet.
Diamandis: "The scientists and engineers at NASA are amazing and they've done extraordinary things. But they're risk aversion...That doesn't allow us to do new and novel things that are on the edge. Doing anything big and bold in space is hard and it's risky. So, it's entrepreneurs taking the risks these days, willing to put everything on the line."
The race for Mars is on. While NASA has closely partnered with SpaceX and other privately-owned space companies in recent years, ultimately, NASA may not be the ones who write the next chapter in human space exploration.

Scientists shouldn't be controlled by the government
Kevin Martinez you don’t understand his comment, if science and politics are in the same branch, nothing will ever get done
Esneider V7 You're right, not much progress has been done this way, but ultimately the government controls the funding, there's no other way around. Don't like it? Go work somewhere else.
Well scientists working for NASA get their funding from the government so...
Thats why in the long run private companies like spacex which is not affected by outside factors will trump
well...... religion shouldn't be controlling countries
Bet if there was oil on Mars or the Moon there be a colony many years ago.
There must be bro but we haven't found it yet
I would change that "oil" to "money". China now has quite a monopoly on Strategic Materials, from cobalt to scandium. The first Trillionaire will be mining Platinum Group Metals from craters on the moon. Chemical rockets take 3 months to get to Mars. Advanced propulsion like Plasma Magnet Drive and Dipole-Drive takes a only a week. That's the real reason we haven't been to Mars. It takes too damn long to get there with just Chemical Rockets! And Senator Proxmire, was the god damned democrat that was responsible for shutting down the Apollo program, not Nixon! Congress has the power of the purse! Later Bill Clinton turned Space Station Freedom into the International Space Station to satisfy his "Internationalist Agenda". Obama didn't even hang around to watch the Lunar Buggy at the end of his own Inaugural Parade! Then he shut down the Space Shuttle Program a decade before "private space" a Bush Jr. idea, could spool up to replace it. This devastated the Aerospace Industry, and gave the middle class the most devastating, decade long depression since the 1930's. So far, Trump hasn't been that much help for Aerospace either. The US Space Force could buy 500 SpaceX Starships, and equip them with PMD & Dipole-Drive, that go 80 times faster than Chemical Rockets alone. Mars would take a week, and the Main Asteroid Belt would take two weeks instead of four years. Asteroid 16 Psyche in the Main Asteroid Belt is worth $700 quintillion dollars in iron and nickel. On Earth, such iron/nickel ore has always also contained a small percentage, less than 1%, of Platinum Group Metals. If we just brought the Platinum back, 500 SpaceX Starships could pay off the entire $21 Trillion dollar US DEBT in less than two years, and have enough money left over to give everyone on Earth a $2,000 per month "Asteroid Dividend Check". It will be interesting to see if Trump does the right thing for the American people, or just the 1%.
Ehm... if that were the case. you wouldn't ever hear about it anyway., or only the tip of the story at most... It would most likely be just like the oil drilling on earth. All vague but in the meanwhile oil is drilling at places with war and vague stories around the war and around the drilling and around the happenings of it all. And of course, lots of classification...
NO they would have been bombed surely
The moon can’t really have oil but mars has a chance that life can live in
We need to get a bunch of scientists to tell the government that there’s oil on Mars
there might have been life there once, so that actually is a possibility
There was life in mars dinosaurs & people like adam and eve
titan: hi
There is oil one one of Saturns moons
Bradyn Baez titan moon or other?
12 US presidents & 30yrs later ....and all we have to show is Neal Armstrong! “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind!”
Ya it's like a funny joke but it's not funny
phony landing..in a studio...
Goverment: we are focusing on weapons and bombs.
NASA: huh u dont want a place to live when you Explode Earth?
Sectoor lmaoooo😂😂
👏👍
when Earth explodes*
@@ryanj194 NO when we explode Earth, trucking governments care only pretty attention to the smallest things countries do
Yeah okay, nerd.
It angers me that these scientists have to answer to the unstable pattern of the government.
politicians ruin everything
Right, I feel like they something
They dont. They can raise their own money if they want.
This is why you privatize and maintain competition in the market. More efficient than any public programs.
yes !
I can picture a world without war; a world without hate...
And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
We are a seriously flawed species. First they will send prisoners, homeless folks and the like to build the place. Then the second tier of technicians and operational "scientists".
Get rid of tribalism and nationalism
it pains me to imagine my future generations to suffer and strive a new life on a completely different planet, because my generations and the past ones failed to protect our own.
It can't be protected. Who knows if our first generation came from different planet in search of life on earth. Now we are doing the same.
Very very true! well said
Woke king 🙏✨👁
Send man to space not to war
Yeah
-SOHAM N
well the defense industry wants war for money
War will follow man to space.
Scythal And the defence industry provides more than 3 million jobs, its called the Military Industrial Complex for reason.
I wonder how much money was wasted after cancelling so many programs
Many billions of dollars.
What makes you think they were cancelled ? It's an easy brush off by the gov. to hide what they do .
James Braun as if you could easily do that
Thinking about it maybe like 20 bucks
Billions and billions and billions...
NASA: We can't send humans to Mars.
Elon Musk: Hold my Tesla
*i know u*
*god, that sounded creepy.*
Hahaha
You copied Gabriel comment, his was made 4 months ago
And he was above u lmao
It's so stressful to see NASA, one of the most unanimously loved public programs, fumbled like this by politicians over and over. The consequences of NASA fumbling & a private company having control over something as significant as space travel could be severe since space exploration will--one day--permanently change the landscape of humanity.
Do you udnerstand that it requires money, a lot money?
@@prakhars962 Since when did the government care about money? 30 trillion in debt. You, your children and grandchildren will never see another person walk on the moon or Mars. "By 2030 you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" - Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum.
Take your eyes off the skies and observe the New World Order heading our way. They distract you with space.
I'd tell the government to eat it
Untrue just like the Apollo venture, not much love and half upset Taxpayers.
Have we even really went to the moon yet?
That's why we have Elon Musk that can't be controlled.
That's right - that man is completely out of control.
@Nightmare Your faith is touching.
@@PatrickMcAsey
He doesn't understand how much of a toll a trip to Mars will have on the Human body. We aren't built to travel in outer space.
@@Pleebian94 'We aren't built' to do many things such as live in Antarctica and to climb Mount Everest, but does this mean that we shouldn't try them? Of course not. It is perfectly correct that we try these things, including travelling to Mars, just as we have been to the Moon, and that is why we will go there one day.
Patrick McAsey We? I haven’t been or neither have I seen proof that backs that without a doubt. We are told what they want us to believe. They probably sit back and laugh counting and dividing all those tax dollars.
Corrupt politicians is the reason
That and their socialist mentality that seeks to buy votes with taxpayer money rather than benefit and advance society as a whole.
uhh no, its NASA budgets
It's both
None of these reasons
Not even corrupt politicians. Just _politicians._
It's possible we could have sent a rocket to orbit Mars and return to Earth 30-40 years ago, but that's about it. There are many issues that we still don't have an answer to today regarding Mars, let alone back then. We don't have a technology to safely land larger craft on Mars due to the thin atmosphere and don't have a technology to take off again. It worked for us on the moon because it has less gravity and less atmosphere so is much easier to land and take off with less thrust than would be the case on Mars. Mars also has frequent dust storms with toxic dust that would cover everything - all the equipment, supplies, space suits, you name it. We don't have an answer for that. Radiation risks both in space and on the surface - don't really have an answer for that either. Perhaps the biggest difference is that if anything goes wrong on the Moon, you have a chance to send help since it's so much closer. On Mars with current technologies or those from 30 to 40 years ago, anyone needing help would be on their own. The distances are so much greater and the technology demands and challenges are infinitely more difficult. It's like swimming from Cuba to Florida - challenging but it's been done (that's the Moon landing), versus swimming around the World without any places to land or refuel (that's more like landing on Mars and returning).
I always lmao at people that believe we gonna colonise Mars, who in their right mind is gonna accept a one way trip to a hostile environment? Even if they did accept i could imagine the amount of regret one would feel once reality settle in
@@kkjunior29like the same regret coming to earth and colonizing already taken land that eventually kills you because of the atmosphere and oxygen that literally pollute your body with cancers and deathly illness just because you have a heart beat . .. like that ? Like how they had no idea what the moon would be like or how space actually works but they continue to put rockets , and space crafts up there polluting space with their garbage when it could really be simplified into 3 things ….like that ?
It’s always more than one issue or problem or we don’t have the resources and the technology 😂😂😂😂😂 we do … we have … and they are . They are stupid to put a price on space crafts that they’re using . They only say it’s expensive because they don’t hVe the right materials or enough of the right materials because they steal.. they take half ass information from others and try to duplicate it . That’s why it was so many failures before until they let scientists and actual engineers take part and not the military or army . You have no idea where they get technology devices from or how their made . Every resource to get from here to the next country is all on earth , which would be the same resource to get to mars , or Pluto .they could’ve started a colony on the moon decades ago , just like how they always go up to fix the satellite or launch a rover .. no human can go past the moon because that’s all there is .. point blank period
R.I.P spirit and opportunity. You will be missed. 😭
People in 1969: We just landed on the Moon. Surely we'll be at Mars in a few years.
People in 2019: It's been 50 years since the Moon landing! How have we not gone to Mars!?
Yes because then it was politically expedient to do it. Now NASA only has minimal support on both sides of the political isle and congressman, senators can’t get re elected based on sponsoring NASA, they prefer to line the pockets of those that bribe(sorry I meant donate) them.
Cause nasa never went to the moon. Nasa lie.
Do you still believe in Apollo moon landing? NASA still does not have technology for Moon in 2019. And Russia has lost everything it had... China is the only country that has working moon rover today.
@@Barmagloth Totally agree with you man 😞
My father worked for 50 years as an safety systems engineer. He's very much invested in the idea that Americans landed on the moon. Meaning it's very hard to talk actual engineering (of which I know little) about how that might have arisen. To wit:
Is it harder to launch one 10,000kg machine into space, or 1,000 10kg machines? Is it harder to launch one 10,000kg machine into space or one million 10 gram machines? Because it seems that that would be the first question an engineer engaged in off-world prospecting would ask themselves.
I'm not saying the moon landing didn't happen, but I am highly skeptical, because so much of what I know about it seems like it's derived from 19th century British seapower thinking as opposed 20th century American airpower thinking, most notably the "launching of ships".
Right now we have machines that build machines. The hard thing / the costly thing is getting these machines out of earth atmosphere into near-vacuum. Presumably the solar and rocket technology we have is ample to power and direct these machines (including via magnetism) once they're in space. Presumably we are at the point or very close to it where sending up a million very small machines to self-assemble in space is achievable.
Not having to worry about a large machine launch going wrong (costing millions) would make planning and, importantly, monetizing such endeavour far easier.
The thing then is, once you have machines in space, what next? Then you need the machines to do work for you. The first thing you'd want is power stations. With unlimited solar energy you could quickly build up massive power reserves. But what you need to be able to build things is mining operations, because what you're going to need for mass scale human colonization, absent terraforming technologies which could be centuries away, is megalithic off-world structures. So the questions then become, to what extent are the materials available in the solar system conducive to such an end -- how useful is Moon rock, Mars rock etc, what minerals can be extracted from planets and asteroids to form such structures?
It seems to me that how humans themselves will likely being colonizing is in single-person pods, at least initially, due to cost and efficacy considerations.
Politics ruin everything good in this world, period.
Honestly
That's a mindless comment. Politics is the business of how we govern our increasingly complex society. Politics is as necessary as economics and is only as good as the politicians. If you can improve it then you become a politician instead of remaining on the sidelines complaining.
@@PatrickMcAsey Sure, the concept of politics is a good idea and your comment does have truth to it, politics are only as good as the people governing them. Please tell me the last time politicians took a step in the right direction without having other politicians take 3 steps backwards? I'll wait.
Politics also keeps a lot of bad things from happening.
No they don't overrule God . God does not want them contaminating his prescious designs..stop tampering with it . I wish NASA can take a trip to hell
Nahhh just tell the us there’s oil there and the us will go there instantly
You can tell Joe Biden whatever you want he still won't understand
They haven't found oil on it yet, if they do we'll be there drilling that year!
No because if they said there is oil in Mars on April 2023 and America decides to send people to Mars it would take 6 months to design the rocket and recruit people and it would take 7 months for the rocket to go from earth to mars if the rocket was going as fast as the Mars rover shuttle was going
Oil comes from fossil fuels but nothing and no one has been to Mars accept American rovers. So their can’t be oil

@@luckyizzac
Humans can't live long enough on those travels and humans would never survive the force from the speed of going. It's humanly impossible. We have just got to hope i think extraterrestrial beings come and share their technology
@@BannedSports "humans can never survive the speed of going" why not? If you mean gforce,it has nothing to do with the speed
You can reduce the gforce and burn longer to get to the exact speed
And you can install some food storage for food
Oxygen can be produced from photosynthesis or electrolysis with water produced by humans after respiration
The idea men can zoom around the cosmos in a big tin can like Star Trek seems impractical. Exploding stars, magnetars, pulsars, radiation, meteors, vast distances, the unknown, black holes....everything about the cosmos tells me "don't come here".
@@luckyizzac plants use some of the oxygen from photosynthesis for respiration too….plus how do u extract water out of humans respiration 💀
I will live to see the day when humans take the 1st step on a new world
What's that now? New world order?
What's that?
Space isfake and we're living in a dome?
I gave up on Nasa a long time ago
Now i focus my attention to Elon Musk
Space X is the future of Mankind

NASA have contracted space x for commercial flights in order to progress its programmes dummy
Forget NASA. Elongated Musk is the new hot thing.
Elongated muskrat

NASA explores the galaxy. SpaceX builds rockets. You're comparing apples and oranges. Try again when SpaceX sends a scientific probe to explore another celestial object, lands a rover on another world, or builds a space telescope.
Real reason: money
Again, spending money on the wrong stuff!
Actually, presidents switching around the focus and not getting enough money is a big reason why NASA is not at Mars yet. The video even said that. Did you even watch the video?
Everything runs on money that why we to move to Mars and start all overagain.
They can't cause they never went to the moon LMAO.
comes down to politics again thats why nobody didn't go to mars. The money comes from Taxs and others things. So were the money going?
The new journey to Mars is going to be an extraordinary one. Good luck out there guys. Go America!
It won't happen plus it's a dead planet try fixing the one we are on
Lol this is like a person buys his favourite sofa and his house tenant suddenly tell him to leave 😂
I hate politics.
Liberalism is a mental disorder
And trump is a disease
Jessica Nazario- #WALKAWAY
BadNews Kelly Leak no. Get money out of politics.
Get money out of politics!
Hopefully one president will realise that NASA needs to become its own thing. To have government funding, but to also make their own decisions with that funding.
ThatGuyMike no. Because that would mean it will be only for the profit and not for the country
NASA should build a sex country so that people would believe we only can have sex on earth because that's the only thing that NASA has dream about. Overpopulation is not a war for them
ThatGuyMike The private industry dominates everything NASA still has a higher budget any other space organization in the world it’s sad to see people down playing how great they are doing
ThatGuyMike The problem is that ‘funding’ is tax money. It doesn’t just come out of thin air, people need jobs, companies need less regulations, and the tax should be set at a level that maintains growth instead of suppressing it. Additionally we have spent billions of dollars on a federal welfare state that not only did not end poverty but produced even more poor people who needed more welfare.
ThatGuyMike
It is a taxpayer-funded agency. Still, I agree that the government, especially the president should listen more instead of micromanaging, and they shouldn't assume that they can just up and change the plans without it disrupting NASA's progress and causes a waste of time and resources.
cooolkid2033 YT
How does that mean NASA would be for profit?

Companies need appropriate regulations. Some regulations are good, others are bad. In some cases regulations are expensive but do real social good and even long-term economic good and the best solution is to subsidize the costs of compliance for small businesses rather than not having the regulation. It's not as simple as just reducing regulations without thinking about which regulations you are removing. Wasteful allocation of subsidies (we still have money going to Big Tobacco for crying out loud) and inefficient defense spending are also culprits. As for the welfare state, I am a fan of replacing it with a job guarantee. If it pays people about the same they would get on welfare then it would only be as inflationary as the welfare system already is but at least they would be producing valuable things for the economy. We could use the program to upgrade this country's infrastructure and fix our crumbling roads.
For the immense benefits in science, technology, and in the long term, access to resources space exploration and colonization is far more worthy a project than many of the things the federal budget is spent on. Even if spending as a whole is too big if something is truly worthy of spending it should be spent upon, and then if the political will to cut unworthy items isn't quite there yet the necessity will soon become apparent.
We could've been on Mars 2000 years ago, but people were too busy fighting each other.
Yeah ;-;
I just love the land rovers exploring mars. With each mission, and better technology, we learn so much. So much, that we now know, it's not necessary to go to Mars. We have robots to do it for us. That's the real breakthrough in all of it. Why go there physically, when our scientists can do that. Mars is like the Arizona desert, except,oxygen, plant life,animal life,and rain.
We should have permanent bases on the moon and the ability to have commercial flight excursions. They were talking about this before Covid and Ukraine distracted the masses. I'm tired of taking the government at their word. Let's have another moon landing. Only this time in 4k with livestream cameras mounted damn near everywhere, along with many installed on the moon, charged by solar. We can view the streams and match the images we see of earth with past, present and future models. LOL! Never going to happen. Space travel was meant to distract the masses. The globalists are planning to enslave and/or kill most humans. They don't need us anymore. We made them into trillionaires and billionaires by using their banks, purchasing their corporate products and from money the IRS stole and misappropriated to make other people wealthy.
And why do you think we send those rovers? Because we really, really want to know what Martian sand is made of, just for the sake of it? Of course not, all that has, as it's ultimate goal, putting people there.
And rovers aren't a replacement for humans, a single person with a shovel and a microscope could do in 5 minutes what takes months and years for rovers to do, and that person could also do what no rover has done yet: bringing back samples.
Russia: we're sending humans to pluto by 2030
Murica: next year in 2234 we'll finally be sending humans back to the moon!
Ezekiel Elliott haha talk is cheap, hows russia doing on that??
2234 (---- lol i wonder if im still alive in that year
russia isn't going anywhere lol
Russia hasn't done jackshit at all lately.
Russia is less worried about safety? That is not how you get things done, in space exploration faster. That's how you explode before you even reach the exosphere.
Nasa is that one clever kid who cant do shit without approval
3:30 truly feels like im watching a clip from the 50s.
We have had numerous missions to mars. They are simply unmanned ones. We cannot dismiss the tremendous technical challenges involved in sending humans there.
I'm confident that Elon Musk will get us there.

Alexgrand 707 idk maybe the minuscule budget
Guess room musk is the only hope for NASA dream to come true and NASA also give elon musk large amount of money

Mars Who?
Nah, we need to go to Planet X.
And it would take years and and insane amounts of energy to get there
It would help to find it first.
Now I know what SpaceX means.
easy, we need to land on mars and just rename mars to planet X.
Be not worry... the PlanetX will come to us, so no need anymore we go to PlanetX )
Best content!!!!
Every country should come altogether for space exploration, if that happens we could achieve untouched heights
Thus I recommend to make an international organization for space exploration where every company from different countries will engage to work for one mission Mission Mars and my theortical mission, Mission Parallel Universe
If countries could somehow communicate and work together, something like this would achieve a lot.
Never mind exploring mars let's explore earth with still a heck of alot to explore ie Antarctica
Then what? Humans can not live on Mars for any extended time due to Mars having about one third the gravity of earth!
When they speak of politics hindering going to Mars, what they mean is economics, cost verses benefit, and with a certain political party that is always cutting government revenues and getting the US into trillion dollar wars based on their typical and daily propaganda based on lies, spin and fake news, the US is now $21 Trillion in debt and may well be $30 trillion by the end of Trumps term. The US is well on it's way to insolvency and has already one foot in the grave. With the election of Trump, indicating just how far down in the gutter the US has become and may be on it's way to becoming like a third world fascist country with a bloated military and hopelessly in debt with the wealthy using the government to enrich themselves, which it is already doing!
Wow
We already have the UN. If they would just add a space program part to it, and countries would participate it would be possible.

Damn... I could’ve been taking vacations to mars by now but they had to hold that up.... thanks for ruining my vacation time....
I wish they would just leave NASA alone and let them do their thing. We would learn so many more things if they did.

Well NASA can use their own money.
Cameron Whyte that would still take years to save up. They get like 1 % of the American budget
Go to Mars? We haven't even been to the Moon lol
Reading the new comments made me realize how important library books back then.
Leaving Mother Earth for ever would pose some serious Psychological challenges. Can't imagine watching Earth fade out of veiw. I would need a GOOD shot of Bourbon, or two!
NASA has done “simulations” of living on Mars putting subjects in a Mars like scenario for months. But I agree it would be something completely different to live out the rest of your life their. I think indefinite mandatory medications would be required for even the strongest of minds.
Good riddance!
I totely agree
It's been a while since we've had such a great Quality long video! Kudos to you guys for this one. :)
Simple: it's estimated that a crewed Mars mission would cost, in total, from 500 to 600 billion dollars.
Sadly, no government is going to spend that much money on something like this unless there's an extraordinary reason.
There is...
Russia 🇷🇺 is planning on nuking Ukraine 🇺🇦 soon!!! 😶
I hate how we 6 billion of us have to depend on USA for space exploration and future innovations and technology.
Flat earthers about to comment that the earth is flat and we never been to the moon because we live in a dome lol
TayWest, the earth is a rectangle.
The last I heard is that the sky is blue because we are living underwater. If we break the dome we will drown.
TayWest,if there's no space,there's no Earth,just nothingness
TayWest Haha actually it's not a ball or flat it's a square, or a "Cube" if you will.. Yeah that's the ticket
Actually the earth is a pyramid, and on each of its five edges, you will find the middle of a continent. Space is also fake and is just a piece of wallpaper the government put up to fool everyone. Not only that, but nobody exists and this is The Matrix.
Finally things are moving along!!!!❤️🥰
I have looked at a lot of videos about colonizing the moon & Mars. And I haven't found any with my same ideas. I think we should set up a moon colony on earth. We should have inflatable domes, which we cover with 3D printers with simulated moon mortar. The domes should be connected to each other by inflatable tunnels covered with simulated moon mortar. There should be living quarters, hydroponic green houses, gardens with garden soil for recreational gardening, a 5 acre pasture with one inch of garden soil and one inch of grass turf, a park with artificial turf and with small sections of real grass turf, and maybe even a very small zoo. All the domes will have plastic floors so no water is lost. Condensation forming on the ceilings will be drained into the water supply. All the domes will be blown up with compressed air from earth and will have a refresh system, which will refresh the air and maintain the air pressure. Humidity, Temperature will be maintained by humidifiers, heaters, fans and coolers. Light will be provided by multi-color LEDs, mostly white. Power will be supplied at first by solar power, and later by nuclear or fusion power. All water will be re-cycled, almost zero loss of water. There will be a bull, a cow, two sheep, and two goats, two chickens, two turkeys, two fish, and two rabbits. There will also be pets, two dogs, two cats, two bunnies, etc. (and maybe a small zoo) All of this will be set up by astronauts and robots before the colonist arrive.
The first colonist will be 5 fathers and 5 mothers, and 90 babies. The parents will be good parents, gardeners, farmers, zoo keepers, teachers, etc.. During the first two years an exact duplicate facility will be built on the moon. When the babies are two years old, they will move to the moon and live on the moon. Or if it is proven that they will be too young to travel to the moon than the facility on earth will be added to, to accommodate 10 more parents and 90 more babies. The two year olds would move into the new addition. Every two years the facility will be either added to, or 100 people will move to the moon. This plan will allow the kids to grow up in the isolation of the colony, and will make it easier for them to live in the isolation of the colony on the moon. And will allow them to grow up on the moon and be better able to adjust to the lower gravity on the moon, although some artificial gravity maybe eventually provided. This artificial gravity will especially be good for the parents. The kids will have everything in the facility to keep them occupied and entertained. Also they could have some books, movies, games, etc., especially adapted for them, being careful not to give them anything that would make them feel isolated.
After 20 years there could be 2000 people living on the moon, most of whom grew up on the moon. This program could be speeded up so in 20 years there could be 4000, 6000, or 8000 people living on the moon.
This program could be simultaneously done to colonize Mars so we could have 2000 people on the Moon and Mars at the same time. For the moon we could send supplies every month, but for Mars we could only send supplies every 26 months. So I suggest we send 10, 20, or 30 rockets to Mars every 26 months all at the same time.
We could have several refueling stations along the way to mars and orbiting mars so rockets could refuel along the way to mars and right before landing on mars so the empty rocket would have enough fuel to take off again, refuel in space and return to Earth.
Eventually the colonist could grow trees, bamboo, and other plants for raw materials that could be used for making things. Eventually the moon and Mars could export minerals or small expensive items that were assembled on the moon or Mars, like jewelry, iphones, iwatches, etc. Or grown on the moon like caviar, marijuana, etc.
What do you think ? :-)
no one cares about the moon like cmon we see it everynight i wanna learn more about mars and other planets
Maybe its because of water. It will be easier to get water from the moon than earth. Water is needed for Mars up until they become self sufficient.
on god
This is brainlet tier thinking, OP
Noam you can’t complain when nasa has a low budget than military
They need to do both. A colony on the Moon with the goal of getting to Mars. All long the way they develop technology which is what is needed for space exploration.
Only Elon musk can sent humans to mars. Don't worry my friends. This man can do this and he do this in future. Future is comming.
First he should build cars and sent them to his clients. Apparently not so easy as going to Mars.
Stresik but you cant spell
Stresik lol only he is.gonna go to the mars without a spaceship xD 👽 🗺🚀
stresik== sending humans to mars is one thing. living there is entirely a different thing.
Elon Musk is a globalist fraud
I saw astronaunts walk on Mars and then i woke up😂
NASA should be like Federal Reserve in terms of structural independence in the government.
That's why SpaceX and Elon Musk are a million times better
Hybrid J SpaceX actually uses NASA's technologies. Otherwise, who is SpaceX?
The Truth spaceX is private and can make it's own plans, with few restrictions from the government
Musk should be building and shipping cars. Seems a lot easier than going to Mars.
Hybrid J Yeah. NASA only wants us to stay on Earth for all eternity.

“Mr. President, we found oil on Mars”
-“cut all other government funding and transfer it to NASA. We’ll build a f-cking military base there ”
*US National Anthem plays in the backround*
Out of date. The demand for oil is in long-term decline, as a dirty, polluting, finite, unreliable resource. And why the swearing?
How many hours a week do you volunteer? Oh, you want to get paid, right??
By the time we get to Mars oil will be as irrelevant a fuel as coal is now.
@@PatrickMcAsey: True, because coal is not irrelevant, it's rationed by government.

I am wondering who would be willing to take the one-way trip to Mars and never able to come back to Earth. Inmates on death row?
it makes sense to establish a base on moon before going to Mars, it will make it easier to go to Mars because they can make a stop at the moon first for more resources before heading to Mars
The van Allen radiation belt would fry any human going through it..
Shhhhhh they dont aknowledge real issues in these types of videos, somehow us not going anywhere for the last 50 years has something to do with trump ahahahahah
Stop stop stop the van allen nonsense!
The guy who discovered the van Allen belts (van allen himself) laught at this statement of that it would fry a human.
Are you stupid?
biggest lie ever haha
The reason why we haven't gone is because it is a really, really difficult thing to do, much harder than most people realise.
Uhhh. I got told by the astronauts themselves, we can’t leave low earth orbit because we lost the technology
They gave us total recall they been interested in Mars💯💯💯
Since we went to Moon untill now, been decades and decades...and we still haven't go to Mars. that's unbelievable! Right now by 2018 I think we should be already having a base on few Jupiter Moons and maybe find some evidence of Life out there on Europa Moon and other moons in our solar system, more than that we could create a new technology that make us go deeper inside the universe, discover more crazy things that we can't even describe or understand right now...
We're so slow, we're lazy apes.
It’s economy. You’ll understand when you’re older
Did you watch the video worison?
It would be funny if the sole reason NASA hasn’t gone to Mars was because they played DOOM.
We're slow? you realise that just a few hundred years ago we had swords and bows.. now we have nukes and missiles
That we haven't been to Mars yet is rather more believable when you realise that we haven't even been to the moon either. How difficult do you think it would have been for NASA to send some ships beyond the earth if they really had casually bussed 18 people to the moon in the late 1960s?
Since the Apollo fraud NASA has made exactly 0 trips above the Van Allen belts, not even to a manned geostationary orbit that has many benefits over the very fast low (LEO) orbits that the ISS has to do to stay safely under the belts.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to deduce the presence of an impenetrable barrier that has only been passed in sci-fi and the now totally debunked Apollo fraud.
I don't get why people think going to the moon and Mars is stupid because there is "nothing there". That's not the point!
Our thirst for knowledge and exploration is what has brought humanity to the place at which it is today. Why would we ever want to tell our future generations "yea uhhh we stopped exploring the vast and beautiful universe because we stopped being curious and would much rather spend all of our money on the military"... That's stupid! We should keep exploring, science should keep advancing and we're looking at a very bright future for all of humanity.
Abdi Gedi there is water / ice on Mars
(then oil)
Oil, gold and diamonds would probably not cover the cost, but some of the rarer elements, as used in mobile phones, could well cover the cost. I think Elon will fail, but he's trying! Think of all the worth of this planet, then think how much will be available to the first 'company' on Mars. It WILL happen.
Maybe gust getting away from you is enough!
Abdi Gedi couldn’t have said it better. Nice to know there are still dreamers out there.
2008 : Nasa 😎 spacex: 😳
2050: Nasa 😳 Spacex : 😎
Nasa is no more a thug lol 😆
It has been an extraordinarily long time since I sat by the television, as an excited schoolboy, waiting for the first pictures of the martian surface to come through from the Viking mission. We shouldn't, however, underestimate the difficulties and time required to overcome them, before a manned mission is sent. Although the Russians have contributed greatly to what we know on the hazards of longevity in space and how to ameliorate this, we are far from reaching resolution on this. It will take time and it will cost a lot of money. In addition, it has also been important to learn more about our universe and funding for probes to other destinations has been crucial in this regard.
We ISRO are the best we can do this all in low budget and accurately! ..hope NASA and ISRO work together!

Trillionaires: *"Ahem.. You Need To Pay Us Rent Money."*
You got most of it right.
When a president starts is administration, their mind is on other goals. It is only later they realize they want to leave a legacy and create lofty space goals that future presidents will have to pay for.
The next president, not wanting to pay for a space program that his predecessor will get the credit for, changes it . . . again.
Apparently it upset LBJ when the Apollo 11 crew came back and Nixon got to meet them. Remember, LBJ did a lot for NASA yet we remember Kennedy's speech. On the back end Nixon gets to sneak in for a free bow less than 6 months into his presidency.

@@HNL99439 really🖤
You made a nice video
Why don’t we just say “we went to Mars”, and not really do it.
Who wins if we do that?
You are the person who should be kept out of politic things!
I always thought it was because we are still working on making our technology hardened against cold. It regularly gets colder at Mars than the coldest livable places on Earth.
It also gets a balmy 80 degrees F on the equator during the summer season there, so yeah, crazy swings in temperature. There's a lot of tech that needs to be developed; better radiation protection for the entire mission, developing new space suits to give the astronauts greater flexibility, developing a launch rocket that can get you there AND back (lots of fuel to think about) and trying to make sure you land in an interesting spot.
I’m going to be an astrophysicist one day and work for nasa! ☺️☺️

Just let humans go to mars forget the moon we’ve already been there
I'm 13 and I want to witness mars (or any other planet landing) so bad. Its been my dream to work for NASA and being able to witness a new frontier being formed would grant my wish. Idk how many years I have left to live but I want to be able to at least know that people have landed on mars.
The return to the moon needs to actually be the stepping stone to Mars. Equally good would be a Van Braun style space station (donut like, rotating) needed to test may aspects of long term space travel. Our ships to Mars may need a rotating section to provide an artificial gravity. The knowledge gained from the International Space Station shows that long term "0" g is EXTREMELY detrimental to the human body.
Astronauts who have been exposed to the "0" g of the station for about a year suffer from body changes that have not been resolved even years after return to earth. It is not known if the low gravity of Mars could allow the astronauts to recover after 4+ months flight to Mars. It is also not known if Mars' low gravity would be enough to prevent the continued deterioration of the bodies of the astronauts...or colonists who settle there.
It is likely that the first humans on Mars, with no launch system or fuel supply, could not return to Earth if they found that they could not function in long term low g. A space station or moon base would help to tell us these things.
The first astronauts to Mars will die there (and not too long after landing there).
That is a reality, but not necessarily a problem.
People heroically sacrificing their own lifes for the honor of the human species would be quite inspirational to those left behind on earth I imagine.
Why do we need the moon as a stepping stone?
Ok
That will never happen because image recording devices are so much better than they were 50 years ago. There's no room for error if they screw up.
@@aldoushuxley5953 because we've never been to the moon and going to Mars is a hoax to steal money from the American people that's why dummy
@@aldoushuxley5953doubt there's enough people that understand of space that we're willing to leave their lives and families behind to go on a one way trip to the most isolated place a human has ever been , even if they did I can only imagine how much regret one would feel once the reality settle in

Exactly! The only thing that is holding humanity back from a technological advanced phase is money. That's what the government does, they try hold us back, only they control us.

Anonymous Anonymous or take the money from the social spendings like welfare and planned parenthood, then NASA will have money and the US will not be conquered, win-win.
I hope that I live to see a manned mission to Mars.
Partially NASA and then SpaceX. Together they will succeed.
In my lifetime I wish we knew what's out there..and reach the unreachable ..
I’m so confused as to why it’s necessary to have the government involved other than funding....
you going to fund them and not have any say in the matter?
They are not to fund it unless they have something to say about it!!!
If you invest in a product or project wouldn’t you want to know how your money is being used?
well- here we are 2021
I mean making a way to support life on the moon is the step before going to Mars because it will help us understand what we would need to do to concur mars
