This Is How We Get To Mars

Van Allen's belt???

Who’s going to sweep off the dust on a million solar panels

Personally I feel the best approach would work like this!! FIRST set up a moon base as a "jumping off point" because gravity IS weaker on the surface of the moon, and sending supplies like fuel TO THE MOON, makes more sense!! THEN pick a place on Mars!! Begin with missions to Mars that "lands non perishable goods on the surface"!! THIS could include certain items like computers, building supplies and so on!! In fact ships, IF they were funded, could deliver items weekly or even monthly ahead of the trip to the point where literally millions if items needed COULD already be "on the ground", by the time they were needed!! And old tech, even by our standards today, COULD BE used (look at Voyager), to do certain tasks!!!

Ultimately, WITHOUT wasting a lot of time....then you send "your team"!! BY then all the supplies that would be needed was fuel, food AND the people willing to work there!! Everything else would be right there, ready and waiting! It would save tons on costs, and all those people would have to do is "set things up" and begin to work and research!!!!!!

Are you people still deluded with Musk? You still believe he truly wants to lead humanity to Mars! He'll never do it. He's a con.

They cant even go to moon. What you you are talking about.

LOOK in the upper right of that cover picture. A woman has just had a baby. In my opinion having a baby in Space or bringing children should be against the law. A child has a God given right to be born and raised here on the Good Earth, with gravity, an atmosphere, and the warmth of the Sun on your naked face.

No possible way to carry enough shielding from radiation, a delivery of crispy critters-

Look at that picture of the Mars space craft. They make it look fun like an Ocean cruise or something. But I read that in weightlessness you always feel like you are falling and are always nauseous. Right now, people go to the Space station as a resume builder. Just something to put on their resume. I don't think they are going to look at a LONG trip to Mars in the same way.

Earth to Mars can't be taken seriously until we include rotating sections for gravity. Especially as this improves physical and mental health for the crew a hundred fold.

I think that nobody will would like travel to Mars.

Send Musk and never let him come back!

Can’t wait to watch the live feed of us on mars.

The music is annoying

I wonder if Musk was not now a Conservative if this channel would still speak in a a negative manor? If he was supporting Harris, I'm sure the narrator would be singing his praises 😂😂🤔🙄

Four + Months in a confined space with up to 10 or 12 others. You can be sure , several will be at each other's throats ,or worse , during the trip. JMO

Two things. You assume that the starship will need the same amount of fuel to lift of from mars. Except, again, thinner atmosphere, AND lower gravity. Second. Who says you need to land the starship? It’s called a lander for a reason. You just need to get people to the ground. So who says you can’t use the mini starship to land, but still have the large one to travel to mars?

There is No good reason to send Humans to Mars. Mars atmosphere is approx 1% the density of Earths and that is mostly CO2, You would have to bring every breath of Oxygen with you unless there is some way to collect it from that atmosphere. That and the Months it takes to get there is also prohibitive. I would rather see some kind of outpost on the Moon though that would be difficult enough but at least that is only days away from Earth.

Elon Musk is a charlatan. SpaceX is not going to Mars. Starship is not going to the moon. Musk is a Russian asset, and he should be prosecuted for interfering in our election, he should be denaturalized, and we shoukd deport him from our country.

Your topics sound more like its focused on elon everytime.

So, it a prison sentence in one of the least survivable places known to man and it might turn into a life sentence? Got it 😂.

Instead of solar panel, can a mini nuke power plant be made in Mars?

Nuclear fixes that solar panel problem. Mars is plenty radioactive. A micro reactor powered by decay will probably do the job quiet well.

It takes four rockets to get to Mars and back again. Acceleration and braking times two. Send two spacecraft in case one system fails. There's no Coast Guard in Space. But look at what the robots have found.......not much. Who is going to invest years of their life on a mission to Mars when nothing is there. It doesn't look good for a mission to Mars.

Pointless suicide mission

As usual extremely well presented interesting content. The thing I like most about this channel is it "goes where no one else goes " keep up the great work.WELL DONE !

Why Mars? It’s a dead planet. We should set up on the moon and launch missions from there.

Nope, humans are never going to Mars.

We might still see Axiom space suits on the Moon. And we might just see Blue Origin launch somering, an ything into space other than their elevator ro añmost space for 10 minute rides for billionaires. Oh, and anything else they can copy from SpaceX. Perhaps BO should hire a Chinese spy to
help them spy.

If we have to send robots and AI to Mars, capable of building complex structures for the arrival of people, why even bothering to send people? The robots could do anything people do. Or we could skip Mars altogether and move on directly to asteroid mining with robots.

The whole thing is a misunderstanding. We are not going to live on Mars, any more than we inhabit Antarctica. Mars is cold, dark, windy and extremely dangerous. A few rich people might go for a couple of months, for the thrill. There is nothing there that we need or want. Enjoy the fantasy, if you want, but it ain't gonna happen.

Imagine training for years to be an astronaut, only to land on mars and have the sole job of cleaning the solar panels from all the dust storms.

what happens when the food and water runs out?? Mars has none!

there's a line at the end of "snowbank orbit":

"have jeep. will rendezvous" iconic

First to give respect to Buzz Aldrin, who has served his country and the cause of space exploration very well. He is a legend. 
Along with that praise however, for decades I have disagreed with Aldrin about his negative view of the Moon as a human crewed destination and his overly optimistic plans to get humans to Mars. 
To sum it up; extending space habitation for humans should be done step by step. Right now humanity is able to maintain a continual human presence in low earth orbit. That is what we are able to do. 
The Moon can be reached in 3 days compared with 5 to 9 months going to Mars. 
The next step is to create a human crewed outpost on the Moon and eventually establish permanent research, industrial and habitation facilities there.
Once that is done, then humanity will be ready to tackle Mars for permanent human habitation.

It’s not Elons idea it’s spacex’s

Are you going to do a followup video about we're going to get back from Mars? I know it sounds ridiculous but these two different starship designs seem to have some issues.

Refueling tanker ships !
This is the ticket to Mars, this is why Elon already has ship to ship refueling planned for his HUGE starships

Nothing BUT GUESSING

If the starship can land in earth it can land on Mars.

Never happen, that planet is hostile to any form of organic life, toxic atmosphere, next to no gravity , no magnetic field , even the soil is toxic, no one will be coming back , the mission would be doomed from the start , someone in that crew will stuff up and kill everyone on board, human nature

If I'm going to Mars, I ain't coming back. I would love to die on Mars.❤

I think it should be mentioned that Elon is not trying to get a couple people on Mars for some sort of show. He's trying to get a crowd of people to Mars, this to prepare for a much larger crowd. This is the real deal.

I would go in a heart beat. Watched the Landings on the Moon and was told that by 1990 we would have a Moon Base. By 2020 Mars Base and start mining the asteroids. Instead we have what we have now. Money wasted on useless BS.

Not in our lifetimes.

Seems more feasible to colonize the oceans first. (Atmosphere, water/food, access to medical, etc.) Just saying, adaptation to the aquatic is way easier than dead planet way tf out there.

Actually the psycholer is named after Buzz.

The power requirements to make the fuel would easily be provided by a mini nuclear reactor, like nasa is testing for Artemis. Surprised you didn’t mention that.

"A high rate of speed", is terrible English.

What makes those space cratfs fly, bucks$$$$ no bucks ! No Buck Rodgers......

Chemical propulsion is a no go. We had the plans and tech to deploy nuclear propulsion in the mid 1980's. But if you desire to make a self sustaining program, go where the loot is, the Asteroid Belt.
