Even worse is the fact that trying to build an atmosphere with large quantities of a gas like this will push all the Oxygen up. Even Carbon Dioxide (CO2) can displace Oxygen if you have too much and that's less than 1.5 times the weight of Oxygen gas (O2). Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is over 4 times the weight of Oxygen gas, so it would basically create an invisible "ocean" of SF6 that would asphyxiate you while most of the other gases floated above it.

@@ConnorwithanO Methane might work the main problem with Methane will be that radiation easily breaks it apart transforming it into more complex organic molecules that rain out of the atmosphere onto the surface as seen on Pluto and Titan. On one hand we should be thankful that this happens as without it the Earth would just be another desolate barren wet rock. But it also would expedite hydrogen escape due to photo-ionization and photo-disintegration respectively as it doesn't take much energy to boost a hydrogen atom beyond escape velocity. Now the destruction of methane could probably be solved quite effectively with an ecology that recycles those nutrients back into a gas so avoiding hydrogen loss would be the main issue and one not unique to the Earth. Star lifting could probably fix that pretty quickly too. and I have to wonder could we develop our artificial magnetosphere to capture some degree of incoming hydrogen, and while you are at it helium 3, from the solar wind?

Favourite method of giving Mars a magnetic field is to wrap a conductive spiral around the equator. Made from aluminium, continuously poured into an enormous trench and powered from an equatorial band of solar panels. Helpfully also distributes power around the planet 24.5/7. While its inductance would be enormous, to protect it from solar wind induced currents, large single turn short circuited rings could be placed either side of it. The cross sectional area has to be silly to keep the volt drop down.

He was responding to comments he would get constantly, especially comparing him to Elmer Fudd. I think you are severely underestimating this, and note that by speaking on the channel, he was practicing to reduce the rhoticism, and it has got significantly less noticeable. I think you're seeing it the wrong way: he is overcoming it, not "embracing" it. And the discomfort from the beginning has been with viewers, not with Isaac in the first place. I think you are trying to be complementary, but it came out wrong, so it sounds like you just want to pretend it isn't there, and have Isaac pretend it isn't there, and if we can all be in total denial, that's a better approach. I don't think it is.

And I've always taken to his fuddiness; I've known quite a few people with different types of impediments, some could be overcome and some could not due to physical constraints. I don't see special value in the level to which he has or has not overcome something that I simply never had personal issues with. I'm glad Isaac got to a point where he doesn't feel like he owed anyone an explanation, and works under the assumption that people will look past differences in pronunciation between himself and anyone else, and focus on the content of the material instead. I never said or meant he is looking, or is to look past anything.

Would kinda love to see real dog space suits, of the most popular human companion species dogs and perhaps horses I'd imagine being near the top of the list of species with the potential to adapt to such augmentation. I base this on the fact that dogs are very trainable and there is good evidence the vast majority of the species can be trained to be comfortable wearing garments to at least some degree. Horses I would be even more willing to bet on being trainable to become comfortable wearing something like a space suit, hell they can be trained to wear very heavy and restrictive materials including decking them out in plate armour covering most of their body a space suit would arguably be both lighter and less restrictive. At the other end of the spectrum of human companions that could be trained to adapt to living with us in such environments I guess would be such as the domestic cat, as a species they are extremely resistant to training and few humans are able to train them to grow comfortable wearing even lightweight garments let alone anything as bulky and restrictive as a space suit.

Alright. Your comment about the mar’s length of day and compare it to earth’s, and how Martians would prefer a longer day for added sleep, rather than a shorter day, w/ less time for work. However, I don’t think that a minor difference in rotation would be an issue, as Martians would just adjust to the day length, as is. The only issue would be time orientation with earth. Eventually Tuesday on earth would be Wednesday on mars, or vice versa. So why expend the additional energy to adjust the rotation, if adaptation was possible.

one solution could be to add a minute and a half to every hour, so martian hours would have 61 minutes and 30 seconds. That way it would sync with earth hourwise. As for years and months, it doesn't need to sync at all.

I never got why you keep insisting that to terraform a planet you'd need to process every square meter of surface area and add algae. Why can't you just seed all of the soil bacteria you might need, plus algae, and then leave it to process the soil and spread? Mars soil is really similar to Earth soil, except for the perchlorates (we have bacteria that can process that) and the biomatter in it, which would build up in time with lifeforms geowing and dieing in the soil.

You don't need a magnetic field around mars. Atmospheric leakage takes place on geologic timescales. If you can build the atmosphere in the first place, it's trivial to maintain it. And the atmosphere itself is what blocks the most radiation. Mar's current atmosphere already shields enough such that being on the surface is about equal to being on ISS in terms of radiation exposure.

@@eds1942 Indeed, the assertion that nobody would want to rise to the novel challenge presented sounds like utter nonsense and completely at odds with human nature, it would be a challenge that existed after all and that alone is sufficient motivation for some humans to devote their energies to first conquering it and then to master it in a never ending effort to raise the bar of those who came before. That said I could conceivably see the governing bodies of baseball refusing to acknowledge it and even potentially amending the rules to explicitly exclude it as being "official" baseball, just don't see this dampening enthusiasm to take on the new challenge. Can't see it being long before they were pressured to change their stance as if they failed to do so I am certain that it would inevitably grow to become a official variant sport of it's own complete with governing body, leagues, big teams and so on one that ironically would ultimately be destined to dwarf the original as the population living in habitats will dwarf the surfacers in time heh.

seems that I have some points to add. Humans can live at half atmospheric pressure or the air pressure at 5000 meters above sealevel. Humans can live for some time without nitrogen in the air and even modest percentage of nitrogen in air are necessary for long term survival of humans. Further most plants can do without nitrogen in air too when the water contains solved nitrogen salts. Plants can be grown in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroponics or mist without soil. Thus the only gases to grow plants are oxygen and CO2. As plants survive much higher CO2 content than insects and mammals that can be used to get rid of plant pests. Actually I think most people like Dune like desert planets and just giving Mars a modest oxygen-CO2 atomsphere which barely let's humans survive could be a nice background for a SF story. Just some domes or underground caves or tunnels for growing plants and an oasis here and there and I think we can skip the sandworms. I am not sure if I remember the figures correctly but I guess that's around 3.3 tons of oxygen per square meter so that humans could breath on Mars.

It probably makes the most sense to simply "dome" over the whole surface of the planet, one section at a time as demand dictates (although a flat roof, supported by columns would be more useful, because you could build on top of it). An enclosed city with a "sky" 100 metres up and artificial lighting simulating a 24-hour day/night cycle could seem pretty Earth-like (other than the low gravity). Each city could have a different climate, to appeal to different people. New Vancouver might be temperate, with four distinct "seasons," and boulevards lined with Martian pines; while New Honolulu would be warm and summery year-round with sandy beaches and Martian coconut palm trees, etc. You could attach your public transportation infrastructure to the ceiling, allowing the ground area to be a pleasant mix of green spaces, public areas and walking/cycling trails.

I think Kim Stanley Robinson made a good effort, but failed in some details. For instance, in Red Mars, a pair of explorers are dropping windmills around the planet from a zeppelin. Near the end of the mission a planet wide dust storm hits and somehow causes them to need more power to get home (I honestly forgot why they needed more power, but I think it has to do with them trying to fly against the wind). As a solution to the problem, they take some of the windmills and mount them to the outside of the zeppelin to generate the power needed to operate the propellers to push the zeppelin through the air that is powering the windmills that powers the propellers... I think they mentioned something about perpetual motion machines back in freshman physics. Given this glaring failure, I wouldn't put much stock in the science of the books.

This is a violation of the conservation of energy.
