Can I Terraform Mars in 200 Days? | Surviving Mars

Mars deserves a leader. Can I survive 200 days on the Martian surface and terraform the planet? As a follow-up to the 100 days terraforming challenge - can we do it in 200?

I am still not over the fact that you can straight up mine concrete on Mars

[@HoHhoch]

It's pretty wild. While the method they use in game certainly isn't practical, the mineral you mine is, and could certainly be used for Martian concrete.

[@haka-katyt7439]

Technically if there is limestone on mars it is possible to make concrete

[@Tomatobasilsoup196]

The game says you mine sulfur deposits to make waterless concrete

[@westernbrumby]

There has been research into a waterless concrete for use as construction material on the moon. With the binder being sulfur instead of water.

[@formorian5]

@@haka-katyt7439 limestone is a sedimentary rock primarily formed of the shells and other remains of organisms. So to get limestone in large amounts you need large multicellular life, and to get limestone at all you need liquid water. Mars doesn't have either.

I think my favourite thing about your videos is sometimes if I zone out (not for lack of interest, my brain just does that) I zone back in to the weirdest possible sentences- similarly if someone walks in while I’m watching one they look interested but then quickly become very very confused. Delightful experiences.

AA Videos always provide me with joy and a better understanding of the world around me. This one though it gave me a true philosophical and general understanding of everything. All of my term papers seemed easy my mid term I’ve been studying for a Meer Speck in the knowledge I was just made aware of. I understood complexities on a level like no other. I had been awakened. I realized the futility of not focusing all of my attention and effort into everything. Then all the knowledge that was bestowed upon me left as the screen went black for AA will only give us a glimpse into this wonderful feeling in an attempt to help our feeble minds comprehend it all. Thank you AA

[@roboakes1916]

“If you run out of money on surviving Mars, first: everyone will die. Then someone like China or Brazil will outdo you…” Ah yes, two of the worlds greatest superpowers.

[@generalrubbish9513]

I mean, China could dump millions of people on Mars without leaving a noticeable dent in their own population, while the Brazilian colonization program is highly motivated by the desire to be literally anywhere else than Brazil.

[@hazeltree7738]

Honestly, it isn't even a dystopian act to only want perfect scientists here. You're building a Mars base for pete's sake! NASA or what have you would only send the best of the best. Then once it's all established and stable is when they can organize mass population travel. If they still don't allow non-desirables at that point...yea then there's a problem.
