Holy crap, this is so high quality. How do you not have more subs?
Only 2 videos is how he doesn't have more subs.
Yeah, but he deserves millions with this quality.
Sherlock Bones I agree, he's as good as Kurzgesagt.
Ehhhh, Kurz produces even higher quality, but this guy is still really great.
Sherlock Bones only because it's three weeks old
I love how you can see both Phobos and Deimos orbiting Mars at 5:26
Kurzgesagt levels of Quality here.
Great Work ! Keep it up !
He is the animator of kurzgesagt
Samen spender who crapped on your face face?
Samen spender fuck u
Samen spender
Because it has a face or a duck in it, it's childish. Brilliant reasoning right there.
Samen spender you’re a dumbass
I really hope that Mars gets to have its own government and rules, and is not stuck in a bureaucratic mess like the ISS.
I cannot articulate how strongly I agree with this.
aiklarung a Martian country is illegal due to the Outer Space Treaty, that says no country may claim ownership on anything outside of Earth, which includes land.
If a Martian country is formed, all countries in the UN (and anyone based in these countries) will not send any more supplies to said country. A Martian colony will therefore have to be fully self sufficient before declaring indipendence.
66oyoyo That's to be expected. I bet the British also didn't send supplies when the US was formed. I just hope the good parts of history repeat themselves as much as the bad ones.
Also a law is only as strong as the firepower that enforces it.
I hope it becomes a US self-governing territory.
Hoyt Mueller It can start as that, but even US law (one of the best in the world) could be improved. Independence would be pretty easy once they're self-sustaining, unless robotic police-state becomes a thing before then.
Elon Just do a kickstarter campaign
if im not mistaken he talked about kickstarter as one possible solution.
Magnus Andersson twas a joke though
Bryan Clyne maybe , but it will bring great publicity , so I hope he does it anyway , also I would like a badge that certifies I helped with the most important mision humanity has ever attempted
The Raging Storm it will never get off the ground (excuse the pun) if Elon did a crowdfunding
plezx29 Kickstarter was a joke Elon made when he told people how he would fund the ITS. It was never meant to be taken seriously and it wouldn't work.
Great work, Josh. Thank you so much for mentioning the point on not having to solves all the problems we have here first! Space exploration will only push us further into a brighter future for everyone!
10 Billion is peanuts for this.
Plus if Tesla really takes of and starts mass producing trucks and cheap cars, that might be a way to fund it. Elon pledged his personal wealth for this and I think there is a good chance he might actually make that kind of money with Tesla and Solar City.
That's a tax increase of around 0.1% for the USA and we get to go to have a colony on Mars. I would love to be in the generation that colonizes Mars. The last generation did the same to go to the Moon. Or we could take 1.2% of the military budget and put it towards Mars without a tax increase.
Clay Norrbin heresy, blasphemy, idiocy, only some communist sjw socialist Muslim Jew would ever think of taking even a cent from the military, in fact we should put e entire budget to the military because merica

This video was amazing. Great graphics too!
mars has lots of oil
USA: EVERYONE ON THE ROCKET NOW
i really like the picture at 7:32
me too!
Great quality video! No wonder you've gotten almost 3k subs from 2 vids!
I Love the graphics you use for this. so accurate yet simplistic.
Wow I love your style,. Saw one video, subscribed :)
Keep up the good work!
Wow, you're videos are extremely high-quality, the animations are top-notch. I think you'll go places!
such high quality, rare on youtube these days. Subbed
God this is so good, cant wait for the next one!
It seems there are a lot of people in the comments bashing Musk's plan. Now, it's totally understandable to be skeptical. Most of the technology posited here is either still in development or entirely theoretical, and most of it has yet to be proven reliable. It's not only expected, but reasonable to reserve doubts about the feasibility of the mission.
However, the manner in which you all seem to approach these issues is deplorable. Rather than looking at them as obstacles that need to be overcome or worked around, you view them as insurmountable barriers. I get that there's such thing as a healthy dose of cynicism, but come on people! At the beginning of the Apollo program in the early sixties, a great deal of the technology that eventually took men to the moon hadn't been developed yet. We hadn't docked in space, we'd never gone beyond low earth orbit, we had no idea about the radiation risks, the risks on the lunar surface, the rocket design or the eventual cost. When the concept was presented, the idea likely seemed just about as outlandish as Musk's idea. And it had its fair share of naysayers.
But we got it done in ten years. Now, with a project like this, obviously it's going to be a fair bit more difficult than landing men on the moon. But the necessary technological innovations are all of the same spirit as those present in Kennedy's speech in the early 60's. It'll be difficult, and many aspects of the plan may seem nigh impossible as of now, but we have to try. I dearly hope that you people aren't engineers. I'd hate it if the people in our society responsible for innovation and technological gains were all such hopeless cynics. Engineers are supposed to be the people that can take the apparently impossible and make it actual. That's perhaps the most venerable attribute of the entire profession. So, instead of sitting here blabbing on about how unrealistic and impossible this mission architecture is, why not reserve a little skeptical hope, and let the engineers do their job?
And how many design iterations (read: descaling ITS) are behind us now ? :D
keep up the epic videos!
Thanks for putting this together, I was looking forward to a follow-up from your last predictive video. Good job!
I really liked that. Thanks for making and uploading.
so nasa could pay for it in 6 months, but it's been 50 years and we haven't done it. nice, way to go Government.
you're god damn right!
The reason is probably that NASA will look bad if they blow up rockets every now and then, so they need to be almost 100% everthing is perfect. This of course takes time and money so that's why it goes so slow. Also it's important to remember that spaceX is living on NASAs shoulders. It's not like spaceX could have happend 50 years ago
true, it's sad that nasa cannot take risks like that, as the public who funds them,a nd the politicians, are adverse to risk, and too uneducated to appreciate it.
Oh and look, Trump just gave the military a 10% budget raise, that's 54 billion dollars. Why do something incredible, when you can have a new fighter jet, right?
Jakub Chalupa Oh my f... *face palm*
Great video! I was curious what your source was for the part where you said about how if one ship had an emergency they could just transfer to a different ship (2:33). I don't remember that in the presentation and while it makes sense I wasn't sure if it was just an idea or an actual plan
So, I'm 14.
That means I could visit Mars in my thirties.
That's amazing. Space is my passion. Would be amazing if I'd ever get the chance to visit Mars.
Except from the major mars gravity issue, you got everything right! Nice vid
I'm going to mars!!!!!
Booyah man
Are you sure? Are you ready to leave your love ones? Are you ready to die? Do you have the capabilities to be an astronaut? And are you ready to face the consequences?
Think first :)
Think wisley
@@yandereredified ok goodluck!
Another great video! You probably won't see this but if you do, it would be great if you could possibly tell me how you animate this stuff and create such amazing videos as I would like to be able to create videos of such an amazing quality in the future! Thanks :)
Awesome videos man. Soon why you have more videos up your channel will boom.
Both videos are really awesome! Can't wait for what's to come! Keep up the great work!
Amazing graphics man 👍 Let's talk!
Thanks! Sent you a DM on Twitter!
Remember me when you get famous.
It's rare to find a video as good as this nowadays. That was excellent, thanks for the video!
This video made me so happy. Seeing mars made habitable, seeing mars as a checkpoint, by which all the solar system becomes a vast ocean which we can explore, it just filled me with joy. I really want to see this happen.
I really hope the first ship to go to mars is named the heart of gold
There is already 42 engines
Jal Both or wagon to the stars
@PACIFIC GAMER cringe
roses are red
violets are blue
finally a new video
Grass is green
Coal is black
That doesn't rhyme
You little shitsack
jedihunter176 This is a "parody" to roses are red comments
Well the animation quality is superb. I have to give you props for that. Do you make them yourself or?
***** Holy God, that's amazing! Good job, usually a team works on that.
Josh Sherrington do you think spacex will ever use parachutes at least as a fail safe invade the engines fail or run out of fuel
I loved this channel and I can't wait for the next videos. If the next video isn't about SpaceX, at least make it about Nasa, space exploration and future tech, you are really good at it.
Amazing animation. I'll save this video to share it with others.
10 Billion dollars? Pshh! The U.S Military gets 600 Billion a year!
Ya because they need it lol
some sources are saying now that the first ITSwill be carrying cargo only, no crew, and remain permanently on mars. the second will be crewed.
why did the humans cross the interplanet space? ^^
Of course, they have to test that it actually works before sending humans.
When ?
Awesome video man
Amazing video, love your graphics, you deserve more subs!
Exciting times 😄
Trump will build the rocket and make mars pay for it
there goes the Martians economy lol
#EndVenusism
I support trump and I couldn’t help but laugh at this. BUILD THE ROCKET
We will built a rocket
I really hope he builds the rocket 😂
I cant but just give this video a thumbs up, good job.
wow this video was super high quality and informative!!!
What is that style of graphics and how can I do it?
Alexi Thunderbird Flat design, inkscape
Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is our decadence as a civilization. It seems to us too expensive to spend 10 billion dollars in a decade for space exploration and some were fainting at the cost of the large of the large hadron collider(~6.5 billions over years).
Nevertheless we have not the smallest qualm about spending 3 trillions in only a year for armaments ,and for killing, for no particular reason, other than strategic global gameplay and making money for the players. If these people want to play, there are more than enough strategic games out there, no spilling of blood involved.
So, no-one said it is bad to search efficient ways to space travel. In fact it is very important that we do our best towards this direction. If we used only half the money we waste every year for guns, we could get at least 2 missions to Mars in the next year, efficiency be damned. And if we spent the other half , next year we would have a thriving colony in just 2 years. Now if we did this efficiently we could establish presence in the solar system in a decade or so.
Which is very important , if for nothing else , just for the experience gained , living in and exploring space. Because all this talk about interstellar travel(warp drives and fucking wormholes)s is just crap, coming out of those people that don't want us space faring at all. Do first the easy and the feasible , then do the hard part. How can someone think about going to the moon if they have not yet invented the balloon and the airplane?
Plus there's the real cost in terms of energy and materials and the virtual one in terms of money. Having 100 ships as a planet going around the solar system, is not sth so resource intensive that our planet can't handle. Especially if we turn to solar for our lowly earthly needs which is more than enough for millions of years of development.
I just can't stand people bitching about how expensive is space travel, when we waste money just for fun and for satisfying our vices. Even if we were still rocking on the 60's we could still do this, let alone now with the sophisticated computing machines, new materials, and advances in genetic manipulation.
tubeRSP yep. War is pointless at this point, we should instead be funding the expansion of our species across the universe
Armaments? Pet cosmetics in USA take probably more money than 10 bln... entire pet care spending in US is > 70 bln.
Humans are generally short sighted.
Keep up these videos and you be blowing up in now time! These videos are really well made
Great Video and even better Animation. Should make more videos like this man.
I am writing this while there is still a chance for you to replay to comments before the channel goes boom and you stop replying to comments :)
great video, Thank you.
Consider making a video about Super AI
Lol man quit 4 years ago, nooob
I'm pretty sure the ability of water to absorb the radiation encountered during interplanetary travel is greatly overestimated. This is still a huge problem.
Another Awesome video! Loved the last one also
Great Video, I hope there will be more in the future!
This video was made before the fuel tank failed, but still love the possibilities!
kgbme nothing will ever stop terrorism, wars, over population, world hunger, ect. The fact is no matter how much you dedicate to fixing earth it will never be perfect, and Earth will eventually die, sooner or later, also there is the chance Earth could die in a few years because of a massive rock flying towards earth, wiping out the only known place to hold life in a matter of minutes
it is exactly the right time to think about this when "Earth is falling apart" its ridiculous that you dont realize that in the sentence you used your self
If Earth does fall apart as you say it will, where would we go? If we develop terraforming tech, we could likely save Earth's ecosystem and what not, or we could just migrate to a new world.
Lava Warrior
That's because all of humanity doesn't learn from the mistakes of the past and history repeats itself after any new things are happening.
Idunnohuur so your point of view is that humanity needs to go away? Well you can start with your self my good man :3
with a temperature difference that high between day and night, is it possible to use it to produce energy?
xyrus85 interesting...you should bring this question into quora
Yes.. good idea. Wouldn't stirling engines work pretty well there?
Remember that the atmosphere is very thin, so it can't exchange lots of heat with other bodies. But this is a positive aspect because it's easier to warm up spacesuits and habitats
Thank you for making these videos!
This kind of stuff always get a tear forming in my eyes because it would be a dream for me to get on Mars or in space over all.
Elon want to transport a total of 1 000 000 people to mars. About 200 000 singed up for mars one, and when the its is proven very safe and when a small collony is being built on mars more people will probably want to go.
How was it proven?
He said WHEN.
Ludwig Harisuo mars one is a scam
SpaceX is scam too so what?
Blue Monk spacex has at least sent a few rockets to space and taken a little bit of them back successfully.
NEXT VIDEO NEEDS TO BE ABOUT ELON - GANSTER SOLAR ROOF + NEW BATTERY PACK JUST ANNOUNCED. MAKE A VIDEO.
Kevin CCIE ....lol... indeed, that roof definitely lives on the edge... on the cutting-edge of technology that is!
Isn't this a channel about rockets? Why would they cover the solar roof
your videos are so nice! keep up the good work!
I hope you continue making videos. It was great.
if I may ask, how do you animate?
You're beautiful.
Josh Sherrington I figured it was inkscape, just wasn't sure about after effects. Thanks for the reply!
Powerpoint, duh
The fuel making process needs a ton of power, the ship will need a reactor.
The solar panels would already be taxed to maximum just to keep the passengers alive and productive.
spoonikle that’s why they build a fuel production plant on mars, not on the ship
Mars is an environment more hostile than Antartica. People will get homesick real, real fast.
Johnny Favorite Why don't we just settle places like the Sahara and Antarctica. We could use desalinated water made from seawater coming from the rising sea-levels by using the harsh sun for solar power and irrigate the whole place. Then there would suddenly be way more food and living space, reducing violent expansion of nations and we can still say we are colonising and pioneering. That sounds way easier than going all the way to Mars, with a very difficult return journey if you get homesick.
Josh Sherrington Yes. Antarctica would remain for research and adventure.
The more important question would be whether anyone would wish to live under such a harsh and punishing sun. Would you?
Josh Sherrington I agree. I could barely stick the heat when I visited Israel in late October, much less the summer in the Sahara!
That's why only really brave people will be going.
Yeah!
Why should anyone settle and build a great city in that hostile desert in Clark County, Nevada...?
Loved the video
Please Continue this effort and continue making these type of Videos. The Video was Very informative and Interesting
Thanks
Great video but concerning the gravity in mars,i do not think that we can adapt this easily to the martian gravity. Loss of bone mass could be an issue
Josh Sherrington First of all.hanks for the quick answer.
I am no exeprt in astrophysics(yet) but psb space-time did say something among these lines in a video of theirs.
Keep up the amazing work you do!
Josh Sherrington I imagine the low gravity will be good for old people. I think it has the capacity to extend human life. but, I don't think the low gravity would be good for people 50 or below.
Couldn't you just wear some extra mass, so that your weight stays the same?
It would work in some ways, but still it wouldn't be the same. Yet we don't have the knowledge of how a 0.38 g gravity will affect us, as we only have the 0g space station as a reference.
I was lucky enough to fly in a 0g plane, and we simulated martian gravity, and it's true that it changes a lot of things : Even if there's still 38% of the gravity, you already feel like you're almost in 0g.
Wow thats actually a really good idea AnbuHD
Hey Man!
I know you might just ignore this msg since you must be busy with your new video.
But My team is currently developing a Mars Habitat and it's not just that, we have future plans for that Habitat Projects and we are also working on some ideas to do a start up.
Although We are just High School students. we needed an animator who can help us, so can you help us or maybe refer to someone who can?
Thank You
that sounds really cool
good luck
Caveman Pretzel thx man!
Checkout my Twitter or CZcams channel, to stay tuned about this 'thing' we are trying.
Although, we need help since we are science students and basically know a little about doing start ups and stuff, But we'll try our best!
AlphaMineron Good luck man, it would be awesome if I saw it in action one day and went "Hey, that name looks familiar..."
Hey! I'm a 3D animator, I'd love to help with your project!
I use Instagram and CZcams as my portfolio.
My IG is william_renders!
I am limited by my hardware, having many unfinished projects because my PC cannot handle them. But I'd do the best I can.
AlphaMineron How is this doing?
I love these space videos, can you make more?
great video...keep up the good work
Apparently KLM also took an interest in interplenatary travel?
Lets hope it comes to that :)

I would definitely pay 10 billions for that
Luckily, the starting price should be only about 500K ;) . And that price is supposed to go even lower (under 200K).
So again only the rich get to go
So again only the rich will get to go
copcop13 Barton
His idea isn't to only allow the rich to go think of it like this:
You grow up and decide you want to work and save up enough to one day buy your own house (which costs close to the amount to go to Mars)
Or you could work and save for a ticket to Mars, you don't just have to have such money on hand it could be something you could work towards getting, just like a house. Plus with how few people will be on Mars at first there will be no shortage of jobs there so once you get there you can immediately begin working and being paid and you can save for whatever the next big thing you want in life is.
This video is just great. Thank you!
That ending tho! I'm totally subbing!
I predict Elon will tweet this.
Not plan to build, are already building...
thanks for the technical details
another great video! love ur graphics and animation style! can't wait for the next vid!!! what's it gonna be bout? SLS? Europa orbiter? lunar xprize? blue origin???
Why are we not funding this!!!
Elon Musk reminds me of Dr.Wells from The Flash
I didn't notice that before, maybe he is from the future and he's secretly a supervillan....
make more please, this is great!
Just amazing quality, information and animations! Keep it up, I really enjoy your content! In the future you might want to improve the audio quality a notch (some constructive criticism), otherwise flawless
*Ionising radiation.
Why not to build some kind of orbital shipyard, then build ships in orbit and then launch them from orbit with a hell of a payload?
Demoblade because that'd be ridiculously expensive and SpaceX would go bankrupt. Plus, you'd need to build the ship anyways to get everything up there. And you'd need to bring the cargo and people there anyways, defeating the point.
Bryan Clyne but it's a way more efficient system, in fact that was the original idea of the space suttle.
Demoblade it's not more efficient. you still have to bring everything up there. it's a complete waste of money, you still need to build all the same ships, send up the same supplies and same people. here's the thing about the space shuttle, it was never as cheap or efficient as its designers thought it would be. not by a long shot. what spacex is doing here, this is what efficient looks like. no multi-billion dollar redundant megaprojects. no architecture that would take 30 years to build before you even get to use it.
The ships themselves would be cheaper as they dont need the initial force to enter orbit so fuel prices will go down. The project would be expensive but it is still possible. It would also greatly forward human advancment in space travel due to the extra fuel. Money shouldn't be something that gets in the way of technological advancment on such a huge scale.
Uh, but u still have to bring the supplies back from earth. Unless they can build that space lift thingy first.
Great presentation!
Very informative.
very detailed and beautiful video! thanks for making this! also, can't help but notice your icon image of the solar system. I tried to do something similar on my blog once haha! can't wait for the next video.
lets just use the money from trumps wall for this bridge. I'm sure it's a feasible amount.

Dude love your work :D
You are really good! Continue like this!!
Elon has been saving and there by has 11.5 billion $ to his name so :)
aWildTomAppeared That doesn't mean he has 12 billion dollars in his bank. it just means he owns 12 billion dollars worth of stuff. Some of that money but most is real estate and companies/stocks.
Probably a big part is SpaceX itself.
Paul Jones
Based on a presentation I saw him do, SpaceX is about 5% of the company. They can't just dump every penny they have into this project, it is making very real progress though just not as much as it could with higher funding.
He just needs to build one and fly it around the moon.. the U.S gov has to go or they will be contracted by the Saudis or someone to go lol.
Imagine how fucking far setback this will be if one of them explodes or crashes into Mars. We could be set back decades.
Maybe for the government but SpaceX and Elon Musk don't and won't stop just because of a failure.
cool presentation and video!
Thank you for that explanation. Asking, 'Why not solve the problems on Earth first?' is such a simple minded question.
