Ours is a special planet. Probably not unique, but certainly rare. An extraordinary combination of events has created conditions favorable to life, which has evolved into a wide variety of species, transforming it into the world we know.
Seen from space, the Earth always leaves us amazed: its "pale blue" color, as Carl Sagan had defined it, mainly due to the dispersion of sunlight in the atmosphere and the abundant mass of water in the oceans, has not yet found equals in the search for extrasolar planets.
Many factors contribute to making the Earth habitable: some are constantly (and literally) under our noses (like the air we breathe), others are less tangible but just as basic.
The moons of Mars are so small (Phobos' diameter is 22 km and Deimos is 13 km) that they have virtually zero escape velocity, so if there was a “plasma generator” such as an ablation or gas release system (powered by the already referenced nuclear reactors), the plasma would easily escape from the surface. We could use Phobos for terraforming mars.

Hey guys! If you like the video, we would love for you to share it on social networks like Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Tik Tok and Twitter. You will greatly help the Insane Curiosity community to grow and improve more and more our upcoming content. A big thank you from all of us
Question: why not build large solar facilities (at the north and south poles) that melt iron oxide in the soil and form permanent magnets at both poles, uniting the magnetic plasmids already on Mars? Then we could crash a few ice comets into the surface at the Hellenist Basin for form seas, filling that with blue-green algae and create oxygen, water vapor (for air pressure) and plant life around the equator.
Finally I’m not the only one that argued that you can’t terraform Mars without understanding why it was blue then it changed. It changed because it’s core cooled, magnetic field weakened, tectonic action slowed so no green house gases. Can’t terraform Mars just by running a bunch of SUVs and plant trees. Without a magnetic field. The sun will rip it away.
unless we find a way,its not impossible
Put a big magnet in front of it
You actually sort of can still. Venus still has an atmosphere and has a weak magnetic field. Would take a million years for mars to lose an atmosphere if it was terraformed over a few centuries
@@C.I.MSossa it is impossible. Without a magnetic field life wouldn't be able to exist. Solar radiation would kill everything
@@rowshambow yes, but once the newly formed atmosphere was gone, it would be for ever, unless the gases were brought in.
I don't understand why people even think about terraforming Mars- the entire reason it no longer has surface water and an atmosphere now is because it lost its magnetosphere. Unless someone restarts the internal magneto any attempts to terraform would be pointless.
I don't understand why people want to terraform anything at this point. We should build space colonies near Earth and the Moon first. That would make it a lot easier to get to Mars.
Right now if we tried to go to Mars without major prep work it would be a suicide mission. Even the Moon is still very risky and we at least know we can get there and back. Mars is so insanely far that if anything goes wrong it's game over.
Just put a strong magnet at L1. It's easier than you think.
@@ericgolightly8450how much would that cost.
Great video !
If it had a larger moon its core would probably still be kicking.
No, because Earth is unique in that our core generates a magnetic field.
This is only because a protoplanet collided with an early Earth increasing the cores heat and rotation. Along with the Earths mass.
Mars is probably too small to keep it's core hot enough to keep it liquid.
It's moons have little to do with it's core.
The paradox of the Magnetic Theory about Mars is obvious when you consider that Venus has no magnetic field and has a dense atmosphere. Assuming that gravity counteracts that situation is still a hypothesis. If a great deal of water were added to Mars, that might cause electrical changes from tides caused by the Moons and the wind, the fluid mantel and the clouds with a charge caused by the interaction between the clouds, the air and the ground. The water could be fired in the form of ice projectiles from the Ceres Asteroid and targeting Mars at the calculated position it will be by the time the ice projectile reaches that intersecting position. There are a number of ways the ice-bombs can be propelled...one of which could be a space-tug which could "push" the big icicles on the path necessary. Icicles once entering the Martian atmosphere would vaporize as well as hit the ground. Phobos and Deimos might be combined somehow so their tidal forces would have a favorable influence on the ocean added from Ceres.
Nice presentation. I wonder if anyone has looked at crashing Deimos into Mars. That would generate a lot of heat, vaporize some subsurface ice. Warmer and wetter would be a nice first step.
Mars doesn't have enough frozen gases to create an atmosphere thick enough to matter.
We would have to crash a lot of astroids into it to make any real change. Next we would have to establish some kind of shield from the solar wind.
Mars died from a close encounter with a much more massive body causing it to blow its guts out - being the iron actually from the core which was used to creating its magnetic field. Its a big job, but if you scoop up as much of that red iron oxide as possible and drop it back into the core should help to fix itself up over time. You might even drop some huge iron asteroids onto the surface and then put that bits into the core also to build it up...like I said - big job taking hundreds of years but would help a lot I think.
I think people will be amazed when they realize that Mars's crust, being much deeper than Earth's, is soaked. Two things happened: solar winds blew the atmosphere away, and surface water evaporated to space, but, the crust also got thicker due to cooling, and oceans sunk into the stone. This phenomenon exists on Earth too: hydrothermal vents are the most visible example of water currents in the lytosphere.
Cool
Its moon fobas? You mean phobos COME ON MANNNN
Mars has a lot to offer my ass. Earth has a lot to offer mars has fuck all
As Someone who studies a alot if content relating astronomy and physics, I find your content both easily understandable to a wide audience, and very reliable. Great work keep up the good research
To be clear yeah, you have no expertise you just "study"?
Terraforming Mars is an Utopian idea. Even after all that effort, the lack of a stronger Gravity or a Magnetic Field, would mean the new Atmosphere would be striped away by the Solar Rays. Domes and bunkers are a more realistic approach for a small colony on Mars, but far from the thousands, due not being economical viable.
What about wrapping a really big cable around Mars’s equator and creating an artificial magnetic field??
Oh shit he talks about that at 8mins no way
We must use the " Genesis Wave" .
i thought iron looses its magnetic field as it heats up?
Could some of the Mars lost water ended up on Earth? So without Mars water the Earth's oceans would be much shallow.
I bet some of earth’s water ended up on mars but not the other way around
Dought it!
Need Shaq to spin it on his fingers
Is it possible to kick start a planet, just like in the movie The Core ?.
Venus has no magnetosphere so why hasn't the solar wind blown its atmosphere away?
The scientists hypothesize that Venus retains its atmosphere because the atmosphere is dense and go on to speculate about magnetospheres. This is all "guesswork by experts."
It's mostly hydrogen, which is really dense. But it still leaks.
@@justwannabehappy6735 That sounds really dense!
@@justwannabehappy6735 *CO2
Humans not able to save the Eath now thinking of terraforming the Mars. What could go wrong?
Plunge the moons into Mars. Restarting the molten core. Then perhaps, like earth with Thera it could conceivably throw up enough matter into an orbit around mars and eventually cause a moon to form that would keep the core molten.
Just "plunge" em right in there eh? Tossing moons around is so easy , I dunno why it wasn't done yesterday 😏
@@australien6611 yeah. It was all with tongue in cheek. But there has been actual scientific thought of striking Mars with many but much smaller comets from the Kuiper belt to increase the water content and add some heat and atmosphere to mars as a means of terra forming. This is not for this century or even next century
Oooohhhhh the pyramids maybe that’s why they were created in the ancient past
Wait, you forgot about Mercury, being too small isn't the main reason why Mars doesn't have a magnetic field, Mercury is smaller but still retains a magnetic field, albeit a small one. Please be more complete with the info
Yup and called Jupiter's moon, Io, LO...
To create magnetic fields
Terraforming Mars could work. But just don't go pushing any red buttons - Elon! 😉
Ampeeres
Hmmm I wonder how much and how big would you need materials for a planetary magnetic field and further trusting somone or a group of someone’s with its maintenance and security function cause people are evil and with great power comes even greater need for responsibility
*foh-bohz (long o’s)
We can't even stop the Climate Crisis on Earth. What makes anyone think our species is capable of somehow creating a massive magnetosphere around a whole different planet?
Our species is capable of so much good and wonder and achievement if we unify, cooperate and try.
Also if we let stupidity prevail and refused to work as a team, we are capable of so much terrible in the world.
That's the answer.
@@shmuck66 You're right, and don't let me be a downer to you, I just lost pretty much any hope I've ever had that we're capable of correcting our course on this planet. I'm pretty certain we're going to kill off most of the biosphere (ourselves included) within a couple hundred years as our technological development continues to grow exponentially.
If it could have been done I think the Martians that once lived there would have done it instead of moving to Earth
Or
Maybe what’s left of Mars is there fault and now they are slowly doing it to Earth
Terraforming Earth with green house gases Co2
Could Earth be destined as Mars is now????
Humaans can't survive without Terra Firma ... Everything is made on Terra Firma and if you leave , you have to take Terra Firma with you ... Life is here ... the Goldie Locks Zone ! ... You can't live without it , and if your bubble of Terra Firma runs out ... so do you ! ..... As for AI , remember the robot Data and his Brother ? ... How many times did they not Work ? ... And if AI Fails ... It doesn't even care ..... We were Raised on Hollywood and Wonderful Illusions ... but in reality , it's writers , scripts , producers , directors and actors ..... Life in Space is a Dream ... until you examine all the minute problems ... then it becomes a Nightmare ...
...
If we're to survive as a species, it's accepted that that would involve terraforming Mars.
Why stop there?
Shouldn't we actually recreate on Mars the perfect copy of Earth as well?
To power magnetic field to protect Mars, make a big ring of solar collectors in orbit, transmit the power to a Lagrange 1 station with the necessary gear, and it's own solar collectors to balance the pressure from the orbital ring.
I'm sure they will get right on it
In fact Mars as a decent magnetosphere, unlike whats told at 6:37 of the posted video. With a spinning angular velocity very similar to the Terra one, Mars has a half strong magnetosphere as the Terra. The desert like conditions at the surface of Mars aint that bad, compared with the surface conditions at the Moon or at Venus for example. And that's in part due to its currently existing magnetosphere.
It's not true tho, Mars doesn't have a global magnetosphere, rather a sort of magnetic umbrella like what's shown in the video. Without a global magnetosphere, the new atmosphere would be stripped away by solar wind and further terraforming wouldn't go far. See also-wikipedia article: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraforming_of_Mars#:~:text=Mars%20doesn't%20have%20an,radiation%20and%20retaining%20an%20atmosphere.
@@arno_grnfld455 A planet the size of Mars just needs to have a decent spinning angular velocity to have its magnetosphere. Which Mars currently has. The atmosphere of Mars is still pretty decent for advanced life to be able to hang out outdoors, meanwhile bare skinned for at least 3 minutes. Other similar celestial bodies such as the Moon don't spin or Venus which spins way to slowly; that's why those two "planets" don't have a magnetosphere.
@@aberdeenkiko Mars don't have a strong enough magnetosphere to support a thicker atmosphere and protect colonisers from harmful solar and cosmic radiation. Mars do have a fast enough rotation but it possibly lacked a heated molten core to produce a strong enough magnetosphere to prevent atmospheric loss and space radiations. And, in the foreseeable future no human will be able to withstand the atmospheric pressure and radiation on the martian surface without a spacesuit.
@@aberdeenkiko What atmosphere? The lack of gravity combined with the weak magnetosphere means there isn't any 'advanced life to be able to hang out outdoors', nor will it ever be as trying to restore its atmosphere is just folly.
Gotta "create" a giant electric current to create a "magnetic field".....interesting......Stand Strong Elon....just make it repairable and long lasting.....
Noone watching this channel appears to have any actual knowledge of how things work I detest this comment section do you even science bro?
Sadly, my knowledge is very limited.
What do you meant by your comment ?
@@justwannabehappy6735 Everyone here is a pessimist who, with their little knowledgeof the topic, assumes everything is impossible, despite everything we're surrounded by is proof of the contrary.
I'm not a pessimist by any means but I just don't see himans terraforming Mars, let alone any other planet
Provided that humans don’t wipe each other out with nukes or die of some future pathogen, I think it’s a matter of when, rather than if. It may take us 10,000 years, but it’ll happen eventually.
@@worldsboss do we have that much time though? There's countless things that could easily erase life from Earth at any moment.
Like a massive solar flare that bakes the Earth. We've seen starts similar to our own doing this.
Or a quasar blasting us with gamma radiation.
Climate change has a chance at wiping out humanity but probably not all life at least.
A rogue black holes could blast straight through the solar system.
The oxygen levels could drop a few percentage killing off most oxygen based life.
There's so many ways life can end that it's hard to imagine surviving even a few hundred years at this pace.
We got to build deep space colonies that are fully self reliant, not even needing a star to survive. Then we get the fuck out of our solar system and make our way through the stars.
@@theFLCLguy You must be tons of fun at parties 😂 I’m aware that our continued existence is forever on a knife edge, I’m just trying to be optimistic.
Or mine Jupiter for planet moving engine fuel to smash Venus into mars. Much more sustainable.

Garden of Eden Creation kit. G.E.C.K. my fallout homies know what I'm talking about.
Humans : how did we get such a strange moon ?
Aliens : so before we create humans - what were gonna do is shove earths small normal moon into the planet.
I wish we would stop discussing total pipe dreams like terraforming worlds with no magnetosphere. The technology to either terraform on a planet wide basis or creating planet wide magnetosphere is so far off in the future as not to remotely be possible in any viewers lifetime.
Says the person who says we'll never colonize mars. Pick a side
🤣😂 Earth is a HIGHLY engineered terrarium, with a moon that's as old as our sun
Earth's gravity had Absolutely no way of capturing nor the ability to hold (currently degrading) modern religion and excepted education are based on fairy tales and absurd speculation
How about we terraform earth to not be overheated ?!
Here is the better idea, use cockroach to terraformars 😂. Its proven though 👍
I've wondered about trying to slowly adapt life to survive on Mars but I think beyond microscopic life isn't possible.
Sure, let's terraform Mars! Maybe we can terraform the CO2 out of the earth's atmosphere.
artificial sun from china
Humans have to genetically engineer our DNA to adapt to life in Mars.
Oh it's one of these channels where 90% of their videos is fanciful nothingness.
This is never going to happen. It's dumb to even talk about it.
Just because it won’t happen in our lifetimes doesn’t mean it’s impossible
Finally someone with some sense! I agree 100% it's ridiculous to believe this crap
@@no4hf well it's definitely not gonna happen in anything close to our lifetime so why invest so much effort in the fantasy? So elon can flog a few more billion dollars worth of "mars shares" to gullible people that's why 😏
We aren't talking about you getting laid...
@@Quickcat21MK I couldn't give a fuck about likes, going viral or being validated. You're obviously about 15 yrs old so go cry to ya mamma and leave the adults to talk
Absolute complete load of crap
Cool
