The pilot for another channel: Astrographics
That would be awesome
I think he has a video on Pluto too but I can't remember. Would be awesome though
Yes please.
He has enough videos to start it too🤣 He should just start his own streaming service at this point
I second that!
Did our boy with the blaze just throw shade at my mother?
I'll allow it.
I feel like Business Blaze is leaking into his other channels. Next minute ETA will guest host geographics
3:51 is Simon really making your mom jokes? I'm dying.
I'm guessing you're not OGBB boiii
Not Simon. Credits for that sassy writing go out to the writer Morris M.
honestly, watch buisness blaze & you will be surprised how tame(boring?!) these other channels really are!
I like both at different times honestly. The fact boi stuff is good for relaxing man no need to talk shit about it 😂
Lol...had to go back and catch it.
3:50 " what your momma is compared to other sized ladies." Simon you f*cking legend!
Not Simon. Credits for that sassy writing go out to the writer Morris M.
@@j.a.weishaupt1748 we don't really know that lol Simon goes on ADHD rants all the time, he might have sprinkled some BB in there
Fun fact: Phobos and Deimos means Fear and Panic, the muses of War…
I learnt that from The Expanse
Deimos was the son of Ares, the god of war.
@@bobfg3130 Mars being the Roman version of the same god….
Sticking with the Mars theme, it makes sense.
(They're the muses, he's the god, both belonging to roman and greek mythologies).
Honestly rover Opportunity deserves a video all on its own. One of the greatest NASA achievements this side of 2000
Megaprojects!
@@Shah37Bang indeed. Oppy is a megaproject.
Opportunity is a hero, they sent a new rover just last year
Bloody well makes me emotional every time I think of that glorious machine.
>Everyone's favorite dwarf planet
Ceres: Am I a joke to you?
Why yes Ceres, you are... come ask us again once you have something as epic as Pluto's heart, Tombaugh Regio.
No matter what classification Ceres receives, I'll always love that little, potentially life-sustaining planet. Same with Pluto.
Also, regarding Ceres, I HIGHLY recommend y'all watch 'The Expanse' TV show (or read the books). In my humble opinion, it is the best original science fiction production in a long time. It's also the most realistic. So, if you're a fan of the genre, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
Last thing on Earth I expected was Simon to diss my mama
I had to listen twice to be sure he did
And the way he did it was so unoffensive that it barely registered as a diss
it was in fact on Mars
Can you do one of Venus and why its hard to explore because of the pressure, temperature and composition. Along with the probes that went there
Glad to know I'm not the only one deeply fascinated by Venus.
@@mollybrown9857 definitely not alone. I studied the soviet venera programs. The lens caps kept failing and at one point, a probe was supposed to test the compressibility of the planets surface. Instead the lens cap landed at that spot so they tested the compressibility of the lens cap, not the venusian surface
@@Styxswimmer That really sucks about the lense caps. Awesome that you got to learn about it though!
@@Styxswimmer hey lens cap or no lens cap the russkis got pics n sound, no one else did or has. i don't even recall learning in school about the venera programs, we were red scared so hard even in the 90s. "wait we have photos on VENUS?!?" - me, surprisingly recently. of course, pretty typically, they never released the audio of the first lander. maybe too much hardbass in the bg.
if any of us can go there again, though, i'm all for whatever that brings especially if we were there 40y ago.
Too bad it can’t be terraformed.
I worked with the guy who designed the battery for the one that lasted 50 times longer than it was supposed to. Very smart guy.

Lol! He made that momma joke so elegantly. Love it
The Blaze is infiltrating Simon's serious channels at an alarming rate now.
Everything is as it should be.
Could you do a video on The Kamchatka Peninsula?
Fuck yes
My wife's previous home. I'll vote that up...
Cannot wait until NASA gets an ice-coring capable rover up to the pole.. Drill into that ice, sample the atmosphere and possibly even find preserved microbial life. *That's* when we'll know for sure, imo
I loved the last few lines before the outro. We really are witnessing a big stepping stone for humanity.
Random fun fact : Many of the school books boasting Ganymede and Titan are bigger than Mercury. But if both of Ganymede and Titan's mass are combined, it would just equal to Mercury's mass.
Another random fact : Many portrays Uranus as a planet that's on its side but most of you probably don't know that Pluto is more tilted than Uranus, while Venus is upside down.
Mass and size are not the same thing
@@UrbanOutlawsSk8Co
Just a random fact fact really. Size means nothing if you have bigger mass. Star as large as UY Scuti (around 1500 to 2000 times larger than Sun, but only has 8 suns mass) would orbit around R136a1 (The most luminous and massive star known at around 200 suns mass with the size of only 32 times that of our sun).
There is a hypothesis that mercury could be an exposed core of a once much larger planet. Its composition and mass/size ratio are factors that point towards this outcome. Another fun fact lol.
@@andrewdarlington7115 haven't heard that one. I read somewhere some scientists believe Mercury was once a moon of Venus
@@momokochama1844 Since mercury is so dense and the data we have on exoplanetary systems now lead a few scientists to write a paper about it. I'm not really sure how much credence it was given in the scientific community but from what I read it seems plausible. The composition and density seem a bit off to be a normally formed moon.
I can't wait until you do a video about Uranus...the jokes will be never-ending
Best video yet, the thought that I might see a first attempt at Mars colonisation in my life time is amazing
or terrifying... aside from NASA's exploration, both musk and bezos are in the race for colonization of mars. they both have monopolies with seemingly unregulated immense power. musk has the power to crash stock markets and cryptocurrencies simply by opening twitter, he could have caused that manipulation whilst taking a shit. bezos owns amazon, twitch, the washington post therefore having a massive influence on the world's media. bezos also has affiliations with the pentagon. plus there's no shortage of evidence showcasing that amazon's worker conditions or policies aren't often based on humanitarianism.
the 0.01% of the world (7 million people) have gained more wealth than the bottom 50% since 1980. the concept of putting 1 million people on mars is eerie when you take into consideration those 1 million aren't likely to be normal people but billionaires who can afford to go. leaving billions of people behind on earth and either bezos or musk having successfully colonized mars. historically with colonisation there's always exploitation, as there's nothing to exploit on mars the exploitation would likely be on earth as bezos and musk have an undeniable influence on society globally with their monopolies and power they hold. amazon own ring doorbells, the video and audio captured by them can now be used by the police in the usa with 0 warrant. amazon arguably have the largest private cctv network because of this
in terms of global warming we have +- 7 years before the damage is irrevocable and it'll cost trillions to slow down the damage we've already caused. bezos and musk could be spending the billions they're investing into the colonisation of mars into the preservation of earth but they're not. that to me is concerning. why would they not want to opt to preserve a planet they know life is sustainable on rather than attempt to colonize a planet we're yet to prove life has ever inhabited.
amazing isn't the adjective i would opt for, my personal choice is concerning. the exploration by NASA is amazing and exciting but the independent colonisation by billionaires is terrifying
With all the jokes I almost thought I was watching a business blaze video lol
Neptune: *Doing social distancing with the sun*
Inner Solar System: *Turns into Germany in 1945*
Imagine being the first on Mars. Seeing a tiny blue spec in space knowing that’s home and you can’t go back for quite some time. Whoever is the first colonists on Mars better have some strong psychological restraint
48 people, lots of supplies, 40-50 m3 per person in the habs, greenhouses with Hydroponics & Aquaponics, Spacesuits, Wheeled, pressurized transports, autonomous aircraft & fuel production for the return trip.
@@TraditionalAnglican I see what ur saying but man, when I was in Afghanistan, even that felt like I was light years away from home and it does something to you mentally. My first deployment was 8 months and it felt like 6 years. After I got out I got arrested for reckless driving and did 180 days in county and those same feelings started to come back of being trapped in a place that’s def not home
Fingers crossed to eventually watching a video about the Mars colony on Business Blaze.
*"Humanity needs an insurance policy." -- I find this to be a pretty compelling argument. Don't you? Especially in the last year or so. Furthermore, there's something inherently remarkable about being part of a species that inhabits multiple planets. The potential for our generations to witness the start of this is just too watershed of a moment to miss.*
plus having somewhere to send deviant individuals will be good for the planet, a mars penal colony so to speak.
@@huggableteddybearxd9735 And we know how that ended in Australia. Most poms think they should have left the criminals in the UK and have the rest of the population migrated to Oz.
considering how difficult it is to colonise other planets, simply fixing/defending our own planet would a million times easier.
i think the need to colonise other planets is more of a spiritual need than anything else.. its just something fundamental about us as human beings.
@@MrSpasticdancer maybe. on the other hand - think about the dinosaurs. one big asteroid and everthing on earth is over
The ending of this video gave me bizarre wholesome feels of hope.
Me: How many channels do you have Simon?
Simon: Yes
Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars are the best books with Mars as the setting
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these space videos, keep up the great work for both Geographics and Biographics!! 😆😆😆
I am absolutely delighted that you quoted a line from the War of the Worlds musical!
I genuinely shed tears when Curiosity died, we pack bonded with it like a freaking Roomba
luv your channel! topics are always extremely interesting.
Love the planets! I hope you do more of them!
Love these videos! Your narration makes it even better
Really great video!! Thank you for the content!

Can You do Kaliningrad (köningsberg)?
I still like to think that our species started on Mars. We groomed Earth to be our emergency “go to” and when that emergency happened, we fled Mars to Earth. We had it set up, we had the technology to foresee the destruction we faced, but didn’t have the time/means to send plans/equipment ahead and we had no other way out because at 100k years ago we saw something we didn’t like, or what was happening on the planet. Possible Armageddon already happened to our species and we managed to survive
Astronauts when in the ISS take on what would be a Martian sleep/wake cycle. It’s not that hard to believe either, considering we have lost past technologies many times before (burning of the library of Alexandria as one), how far fetched is it to believe that we lost the technology when we fled, we were forced to start over, we had our craft, but that was it, an emergency escape capsule just to continue life with a few dozen people. Over the initial generations here, we forgot about technology and focused on growing the population again, effectively starting life/technology over.
I love the theory of evolution too but we don’t fit into it perfectly, what about the missing link that links us to the apes. Just a thought, a wild one, but we have seen much more crazy ones at play before.
That meteor storm that leveled Mars is what took the atmosphere from Mars and planted it here, on Earth, as well as the life that was on it.
Please, for the love of god, get your sound game straightened out. I watch these videos late at night, and I have to crank the volume to hear them. Invariably, whatever I do next rattles the damn walls and wakes everybody up. Just bump up the gain a little, please.
Well never see any of these terrains due to the snail speed of the rover, sad.
4:40 Utah/arizona with the earth behind it to look like Mars. I mean c'mon, there's no brush on Mars.
That was the most gentleman your momma joke I've ever heard and tip my hat to you sir.
1980 mini series "The Matian Chronicles." Some great vintage TV scifi.
absolute bangers today simon
I'm curious, Simon. Have you ever considered adding some of your content to Nebula (CuriosityStream's indy channel)? I lot of edutainment/infotainment creators (Extra Credits, Wendover Productions, Legal Eagle, etc) are doing that and it definitely adds value (and avoids CZcams's random censorship).
I couldn't get into this video fast enough. . THX Simon:)
Great video. As always
Watching all these planet videos and perking up every time I hear Lowell's name, that guy could be a drinking game
Is anyone else disappointed Gustav Holst’s “Mars: Bringer of War” was not used at any point in the video?
the lakes just sat there being all "lakey" 😆 what an awesome sentence!
Elon Musk may be infamous for missing deadlines, but his company SpaceX's achievements have been truly outstanding and awe-inspiring. He was repeatedly told that landing and reusing stage-1 and 2 rockets would be laughably unattainable. The aforementioned claim was thoroughly bitchslapped into orbit.
No, they're not outstanding nor "awe-inspiring". SpaceX is overrated. Musk wasn't told that stage 1 and stage-2 landing is not doable. He was told that it's not economically viable. There's a difference. There was a rocket that landed in 1993 or something like that, the McDonnell Douglas DC-X. Nothing was "thoroughly bitchslapped into orbit". We don't know how viable his rockets really are right now because SpaceX is private.
Omg you just made my day
you're the man, Simon!
I love that ingenuity is still going over a year later! :)
Whenever I look up at Mars I still find it amazing that we have robots on it. Wow! What a time to be alive. I will die happy if I live long enough to see the first person on the Red Planet.
After just finishing the Red Rising book series last week this was very interesting🙌🏻 Also the books are awesome, atleast the first triology👌🏻 I recommend to everyone that like sci-fi to read or listen to them👌🏻
Fantastic episode.
I know they aren't "real" people, but would you consider doing a biographics on various deities?
04:34 Me: *confused astronomer screaming*
Fun fact: My name (along with many others) is on both Spirit and Curiosity.
20:20 Kudos for the right pronunciatzion of Jezero crater ;) Or in english - Lake crater.
Hello, I'm an aerospace engineering student and I can confirm that NASA has had Martian landing and ascent on the mind for years and they are very serious about it. Not only are they doing what you had mentioned in your video, they are also hosting design competitions.
My college regularly participates in the NASA RASC-AL competition, where students (graduate and undergraduate) are given a series of concepts and told to design a system to fill the given need. Previous years involved Martian landings, habitation, and exploration. This past year, they had a prompt that required teams to design a Martian ascent vehicle which could house two astronauts and 100 kg of Martian rock/soil to reach and earth rendezvous vehicle with the requirement that it must launch from Mars by 2035. There are 3 finalists currently in the running for this particular prompt, with a final report on the concept due in a week, and a thirty minute long presentation for each team due early next month. The winner of this competition may change the way NASA plans future missions (and they have done so in the past) but I have no clue what is going to happen beyond that.
Fun Facts: Mariner 2 is still in a solar orbit. Save for an encounter with another larger planetary body, it is likely in the same orbit and path that it took to get to Venus in 1962.
Mariner 9, the first spacecraft to go into orbit around Mars in the early 1970s, is still orbiting Mars. It has been shut down since the late 1970s and is predicted to enter the Martian atmosphere sometime in the mid to late 2020s.
I just got this amusing image of the first human proudly stepping on Mars and immediately being cleaned up by an ancient Mariner.
This was really good.
20:56 Well, watching at the end of 2022. And yes, the science data and the pictures from another planet are always incredible!
Simons was chewing this bad boy up . Get'em Simon!!
Awesome thank you
This guy is everywhere!!!
3:55 Was not expecting that one...
That was phenomenal, Simon. This is easily one of my favorite episodes you've done on any of your channels.
Where is ZhuRong in this video? It just landed... orbiter, lander, and rover all in the first mission/try is an amazing achievement!
Awww now I'm gunna have to watch "the martian" again....
Give mission to mars a watch as well. Its a fun movie honestly
@@Ar_Tank thanks, I will give that one a go
Good video 👍
Fun fact: ICAO codes, which are used by airports to identify themselves in most flight plans, have a special code to them, whereby the firs letter usually tells you the region of the world your airport is. Codes starting with the letter J (after Jezero Crater where Ingenuity took off) are exclusively reserved for Mars
Mind blown indeed.
Excellent
thank you
I still remember one theory that a moon or large body asteroid/comet fell within the grav limit of Mars, and was shredded by internal failures into a cloud of smaller asteroids and a couple of big honking chunks. Everything small that fell blew craters all the heck and over one of the hemispheres (I think it was the southern? Whichever side is the one that's not relatively smooth and now looks like the surface of the moon). All those impacts stripped off a good portion of atmosphere, but the killing blow was two or three giant chunks that not just smashed into the planet, but punctured the crust like bullets into an apple.
Same theory suggests that those giant shards might have disturbed so much material going in, that they disrupted the core bad enough it stopped spinning (maybe even ripped it up so it was less dense and couldn't form a field anymore) and the pressure waves that traveled through Mars coalesced on the far side. All that kinetic energy had to vent somehow, so Mars ended up bulging there... creating the Mons volcanoes. And the same internal-stress-venting additionally caused the planet to physically split a bit, to widen so as to accommodate and release the wave pressure.. making the biggest stress fracture in the solar system: the Vallis Marineris. Not so much a water-made canyon, but a spot where the orange-rind of the crust split because something pushed from inside where it shouldn't have.
Same theory also suggested the opposite hemisphere was so much smoother and so much lower than the impacted side because the same pressure basically flicked the crust off that side of the planet and into space. Kinda like of you roll a marble into another marble: the impactor stops or slows, and the impacted, now with kinetic energy, resumes the movement. Except it was a continental plate. And it went straight up. Lol.
I remember reading that theory!
It kept me up nights, pondering the sheer scale of it all. The energy of the impactor would've rung Mars like a bell, a shockwave punching straight through the core while another rippled along the surface, meeting in the opposite hemisphere in a cataclysm of collapsed magma chambers and fractured crust. Hellas and Tharsis are roughly antipodal, as are Argyre and Elysium (the other big basin/volcanic plateau respectively), and I'd imagine the explosive violence of their formation just obliterating the northern hemisphere, making the entire north polar region just one big ejecta basin.
Still conjecture, sure, but *awesome* in every sense of the word.
It's my go-to example when friends scoff at my "boring" or "geeky" hobbies, describing mayhem beyond even Michael Bey's wildest dreams.
Ha! "Tales From The Late Heavy Bombardment" (diabolical laughter)
@@jamesjoy7547 that's exactly what i was thinking.
The only way we'll ever know for sure if that's what happened would be to witness it happen again, elsewhere. But the planetary physics works out, as far as I've found.
That 'rung like a bell' analogy works perfectly. Just see this Shockwave rippling through the mantle and coalescing on the far side in a massive burst of violence...
@@Kalebfenoir that's the kind of thing that kept me up nights!
I can’t believe Simon knew I was watching this on my phone.
an mom joke in a video of MARS...LMAO thanks
He just called my mom fat.... 😂😂😂 do NOT ever change, good sir. I enjoy each of your channels along with the information, and whit.
That segue way for William Herschel was great
Elon Musk: So what'd you want to show me?
Martian: (Smirking) Canals!
Great prequel episode of "The Expanse"!
21:30 LOL shots fireeeeeeed blaze boy!
Brilliant.
I know I have already watched this video two or three times but as we get so close to STARFIELD I need more spacegraphics!
That mom diss tho 🤣🤣🤣
Would love a video similar to this about Venus
1:55 love the war of the worlds musical reference there 😂
I don't know why, but the Blue Oyster Cult classic 'Astronomy' was going through my head every second of this video. They aren't even remotely about the same thing, but still. Great video btw! Now where is my winamp icon....
Interesting video
Thunderous Applause. Atta boy. Mars in 25 min? Left feeling satisfied? Well done skill.
The Herschels/Uranus jokes and one liners never get old. 😅😅😅😅
Can you do 1 on Berlin?
Here's an idea of series of episodes... A series about all the planets of the solar system... You already did about Mars and Pluto... Please do about all the others... And yes Pluto is a planet despite all it is said about and why is isn't...
Some great potential for wallpapers in this video. Hopefully, Simon & Co. don't mind.
Elon Musk watches this episode and hears Simon say "Elon is notorious for missing deadlines". The next day Space X has a press conference only to say "Nah-uh!"😂
Even though SpaceX is moving at warp speed, there's still a running joke about "Elon time".
@@LisaBowers if "Elon time" would make you as rich as Elon himself, then let Elon-O'clock begin😁
Musk himself is an idiot. The real people making 'his' visions are the engineers behind the scenes. I tip my hat to those people, not just for the incredible work they do, but also for putting up with a complete asshole for a boss.
@@Chris-hx3om 😂😂😂😂 he literally the cheif engineer of spacex wtf
@@Chris-hx3om while I agree he has his moments at least he is technical and not a fake like Jobs. Now that is a guy the rode other people's backs starting with Wozniak
That mama joke had me slide my first ‘like’ on a CZcams video ever😂❤️
Fun fact: The first truly successful landing on Mars was by Viking 1 - a Terran tripod. Earth sends its regards 😏
Man y’all should do a video on Hy Brasil! It’s a super interesting one.
"Olympus Mons is to geological features what your mama is to average-sized ladies." Funniest joke Simon has ever told on the show.
Greetings from flagstaff arizona!
Great video!
Im sorry, but I gotta say... I found the background music quite distracting. Wish the music was different, lower volume, or even just off.
Otherwise awesome vid, thanks!
Mars could be the first human colony that doesn't destroy and annihilate a pre existent civilasation.
