kid’s gonna be talking about space he’s

kid’s gonna be talking about space he’s probably gonna be talking about

probably gonna be talking about

probably gonna be talking about something related to exploration like

something related to exploration like

something related to exploration like planets or like the traces of life in

planets or like the traces of life in

planets or like the traces of life in the solar system or something like that

the solar system or something like that

the solar system or something like that but no I have an exploit I have a

but no I have an exploit I have a

but no I have an exploit I have a definition for exploration that I carry

definition for exploration that I carry

definition for exploration that I carry around and talk about it to everybody

around and talk about it to everybody who I’m talking about talking to about

who I’m talking about talking to about

who I’m talking about talking to about this topic according to me exploration

this topic according to me exploration

this topic according to me exploration is basically when when someone goes into

objectives that I just mentioned plus if you gave me the chance to talk about all

you gave me the chance to talk about all

you gave me the chance to talk about all the scientific and technical

the scientific and technical

the scientific and technical advancements of the last 50 years we’ll

advancements of the last 50 years we’ll

advancements of the last 50 years we’ll be here all evening so we don’t want

be here all evening so we don’t want

be here all evening so we don’t want that so before we venture into the

that so before we venture into the

that so before we venture into the future let us take a step back

talk about is the second objective of

talk about is the second objective of the spaceflight industry which is to

the spaceflight industry which is to

the spaceflight industry which is to colonize a nearby planet the obvious

colonize a nearby planet the obvious

colonize a nearby planet the obvious candidate is Mars Mars how do we get

candidate is Mars Mars how do we get

candidate is Mars Mars how do we get there

there

there good question better question is what do

good question better question is what do

good question better question is what do we do before we even think about going

we do before we even think about going

we do before we even think about going there you see before we go to Mars

there you see before we go to Mars

there you see before we go to Mars there’s some factors that we need to

there’s some factors that we need to

there’s some factors that we need to consider why Mars what is so special

consider why Mars what is so special

consider why Mars what is so special about Mars that every person or every

about Mars that every person or every

about Mars that every person or every major industry or space agency is trying

major industry or space agency is trying

major industry or space agency is trying to colonize it what’s so special about

to colonize it what’s so special about

to colonize it what’s so special about the red planet that everybody wants to

the red planet that everybody wants to

the red planet that everybody wants to go there well it’s because of the

go there well it’s because of the

go there well it’s because of the striking similarities between the earth

striking similarities between the earth

striking similarities between the earth and the Mars that make it so desirable

and the Mars that make it so desirable

and the Mars that make it so desirable so let’s get some hard facts to the

so let’s get some hard facts to the

so let’s get some hard facts to the table here and discuss them first

table here and discuss them first

table here and discuss them first Mars is diameter is approximately six

Mars is diameter is approximately six

Mars is diameter is approximately six thousand kilometers whereas the Earth’s

thousand kilometers whereas the Earth’s

thousand kilometers whereas the Earth’s diameter is approximately twelve

diameter is approximately twelve

diameter is approximately twelve thousand kilometers now you guys might

thousand kilometers now you guys might

thousand kilometers now you guys might be wondering bro you just talked about

be wondering bro you just talked about

be wondering bro you just talked about similarities and now you’re introducing

similarities and now you’re introducing

similarities and now you’re introducing a difference that is literally about

a difference that is literally about

a difference that is literally about double the size of Mars that can be

double the size of Mars that can be

double the size of Mars that can be possible well if you think about it

possible well if you think about it

possible well if you think about it Earth’s oceans make up most of its

Earth’s oceans make up most of its

Earth’s oceans make up most of its diameter as well because we have vast

diameter as well because we have vast

diameter as well because we have vast oceans on the planet you take out the

oceans on the planet you take out the

oceans on the planet you take out the oceans and you’re left with a landmass

oceans and you’re left with a landmass

oceans and you’re left with a landmass or the land die

or the land die

or the land die of the planet which is also only about

of the planet which is also only about

of the planet which is also only about 6000 kilometers exactly equivalent to

6000 kilometers exactly equivalent to

6000 kilometers exactly equivalent to Mars how is this beneficial for us and

Mars how is this beneficial for us and

Mars how is this beneficial for us and how does that make Mars an ideal

how does that make Mars an ideal

how does that make Mars an ideal colonization location is because if you

colonization location is because if you

colonization location is because if you take in in the distant future this isn’t

take in in the distant future this isn’t

take in in the distant future this isn’t happening now but if you take all the

happening now but if you take all the

happening now but if you take all the population of the earth and transport it

population of the earth and transport it

population of the earth and transport it to Mars

to Mars

to Mars we’ll be able to we will be able to live

we’ll be able to we will be able to live

we’ll be able to we will be able to live there because well we if we can fit all

there because well we if we can fit all

there because well we if we can fit all the population in 6000 kilometer

the population in 6000 kilometer

the population in 6000 kilometer diameter here on earth we’ll be able to

diameter here on earth we’ll be able to

diameter here on earth we’ll be able to do the same on Mars itself another

do the same on Mars itself another

do the same on Mars itself another factor is the tilt or the axis on which

factor is the tilt or the axis on which

factor is the tilt or the axis on which Mars and Mars and Earth are well Mars

Mars and Mars and Earth are well Mars

Mars and Mars and Earth are well Mars well if I have to give you a visual

well if I have to give you a visual

well if I have to give you a visual representation of how this works it’s

representation of how this works it’s

representation of how this works it’s not that both all these planets orbit

not that both all these planets orbit

not that both all these planets orbit around the Sun like this it’s more like

around the Sun like this it’s more like

around the Sun like this it’s more like the orbit like this there’s a slight

the orbit like this there’s a slight

the orbit like this there’s a slight tilt in their axis which makes them have

tilt in their axis which makes them have

tilt in their axis which makes them have seasons so earth is tilted on a 23

seasons so earth is tilted on a 23

seasons so earth is tilted on a 23 degree axis and Mars is tilted on a 25

degree axis and Mars is tilted on a 25

degree axis and Mars is tilted on a 25 degree axis very small shift doesn’t

degree axis very small shift doesn’t

degree axis very small shift doesn’t really matter that much in terms of the

really matter that much in terms of the

really matter that much in terms of the seasons this gives us seasons such as

seasons this gives us seasons such as

seasons this gives us seasons such as summer winter fall autumn all of this

summer winter fall autumn all of this

summer winter fall autumn all of this and if Earth is tilted on its axis and

and if Earth is tilted on its axis and

and if Earth is tilted on its axis and has seasons then Mars if it is tilted

has seasons then Mars if it is tilted

has seasons then Mars if it is tilted will also have seasons which is pretty

will also have seasons which is pretty

will also have seasons which is pretty cool which makes it more adaptable for

cool which makes it more adaptable for

cool which makes it more adaptable for human life to exist there now the only

human life to exist there now the only

human life to exist there now the only factor that prevents us from actually

carbon dioxide about 79% nitrogen and

carbon dioxide about 79% nitrogen and about 20% of oxygen or the stuff of life

about 20% of oxygen or the stuff of life

about 20% of oxygen or the stuff of life or the stuff that we need to survive or

or the stuff that we need to survive or

or the stuff that we need to survive or thrive on a planet you flip those

thrive on a planet you flip those

thrive on a planet you flip those percentages around and you get Mars’s

percentages around and you get Mars’s

percentages around and you get Mars’s atmosphere you get approximately 96
