How to Terraform Mars - WITH LASERS

[@dreamedoutdoll]

Considering giant space mirrors have been a key technology in many of these "futurist" videos... it'd be neat to have a video exploring how we could make them, transport them, and keep them locked in the position we need them in!

I think they would not make it because then they would have to go more in detail into the physics and mathematics involved and that would not necessarily appeal to a wider audience than giving an overview

We can already do that. Its just super expensive and so there's no point to doing it until we have a very good reason.

Outside of that, you could also enforce a mandatory exercise regimen to avoid bone and muscle atrophy, like how astronauts on the ISS do it.

[@thedoctor.a.s1401]

@Prim I was thinking the same, I guess it depends because the plant and animal life that evolve could naturally incorporate that variable. It would be redwood style canopies instead of pine trees and giraffe-like animals instead of hedgehogs or something. I don't know if gene editing can fix the gravity problem for humans because gravity is physics, not biology. I guess people would just have to go to the gym a lot. They could have a kind of mandatory gym academy where they log in the amount of hours they exercise. Like a kind of gym style union hall.

​@@KRYMauL They cannot, you're just falling for the Marvel effect that Elon Musk is selling you, and thinking humanity is more advanced than it is. Let me reiterate. We need a laser twice as powerful as the best one we have today, and more importantly it must run continuously, not for 0.000,000,000,001 second. We need 10,000,000 square kilometers worth of mirrors to power that laser. We need to get to Titan, set up a factory, and a launching site with mass drivers. We need a huge space station with a current moved in Mars' L1 point. Meanwhile 8% of our rocket launches last year (mostly to Low Earth Orbit, not doing never-before-seen things) failed. We'll probably set foot on Mars in a decade or two, maybe even a small base, but I'd be shocked to see even so much as a Mars city in my lifetime.

[@Terminator484]

Total mirror area is that big, not each individual mirror. A swarm of smaller mirrors will accomplish the same task. This scale is piecemeal once you start scaling up automated space manufacturing to the point where you're around 0.1% of the manufacturing base needed to build a proper Dyson Swarm. Send a factory that can build copies of itself and robotic mining stations and mirror factories to the asteroid belt, and direct the geometric growth of your space industrial infrastructure from home. Even better, after these factories make the mirrors and lasers to terraform Mars, they can keep making mirrors to get started on that Dyson Swarm.

Ignoring the energy cost (which is vast) and the need to accelerate and slow down again and all the energy used to do that, let's just assume you can travel at 99% of the speed of light. Proxima Centari is over 4 light-years from earth and is our nearest star neighbor (and even has a planet or two around it). If you could implement this trip, it would take about 4.5 years to get there. Thanks to relativity, 16 years would pass on earth. Assuming you could send a message that far, it would be a total of 20 years to tell anyone you arrived and 24 total years to get the reply. In short, pretty impractical. At 0.5c you take 9 years to get there, and about 11 years goes by on earth in the meantime. It still takes 4 years for communications each direction though.
