Swirling dust storms and pools of Ice, Mars has captured earthly interest for centuries... But what will it take to get there? Will, we ever live on the planet and can we make it into a colony- or a new home for ourselves? In this video, we find out what it takes to conquer the Red planet. Pause for a minute. Take a closer look at the planet we live on, and you'll realize it's truly terrifying. I know what you're thinking. Oh, but it's not so bad. There are electric cars, amazing vacation spots and of course….Netflix. All of that is great. It truly is. But while those are some most amazing things we could ever ask for; there's a dark side to Earth. When you look at evolution on Earth, 99.9 percent of all life forms have gone extinct. That's right. 99.9 percent of all life forms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct today. It's the natural order of life. When things change, you either adapt or die. At least that's how Mother Nature sees it. Think about it; we face a ton of hazards here on Earth. First, there are some we brought on ourselves like Global warming and pollution- no excuses there. But that's not all. Mother Nature has hurled several extinction cycles at the Earth quite a few times. Take the dinosaurs, for example- they didn't have a space program. That's why they are not here today. The point is, we're constantly walking on eggshells here on Earth. We've survived long, but that doesn't mean that Mother Nature can't expel us if she so desires. In the immortal words of Carl Sagan -"We live in the middle of a shooting gallery with thousands of asteroids in our path that we haven't even discovered yet. So, let's be at least a two-planet species, as a backup plan." If we're going to ensure our survival, we need an insurance policy. A backup plan should anything ever happen to Earth. A lot of arguments have sprung up as to how to protect ourselves best. On one side some people think the best way is to stop polluting the Earth, and stop global warming in its tracks. The second and more radical option is to just up and leave. If there's a possibility that the Earth could give up on us at some point, wouldn't it be best to get our stuff and leave before we become unwelcome guests? Only if there was a neighborhood planet somewhere that could house us. That's where Mars comes in... Recently a lot of attention has gone into the red planet and our dream of making it our new home. The only problem is that those dreams involve a poisonous, tenuous atmosphere, inhospitable cold, and lots and lots of red. Still, we have to ask. Will we ever make it? Will we ever conquer Mars? If you ask Elon Musk, you'll get a definite yes especially since he's spending a truckload of money trying to get to the red planet. Here's the thing though, Mars isn't exactly isn't a bus trip away. Some things stand in our way. Let's check out a few of them. Gravity doesn't know when to give up. Pick up an object and throw it. Do it. This is an experiment. Do it for science. Notice how far the thing goes before it falls to the ground? Let's try that again. This time, pick it up and throw it harder. It went further, didn't it? Get this. The reason the object didn't move as far as you thought you could throw is a little something called Air resistance. Seeping through the atmosphere like a bull in a china shop, the object quickly loses speed as the air drags it back. Then it hits the ground- but that part is caused by another culprit- Gravity! Let's say you took away all the air. Our object might travel farther than it did when there was air, but it would still hit the ground in the same amount of time. That's because gravity works in the down position. It doesn't concern itself with sides. As far as gravity is concerned, it makes no difference whether you throw it with all your strength or lazily drop it. Get it? The harder you throw, the more speed it has, and the farther it will go before inevitably hitting the ground. Still, it will hit the ground - that's a definite yes. Or is it? Imagine throwing something so hard that it reached the other side of a house in the few seconds before it hits the ground. How about a street. Throw it harder and it could travel across town. Across the country. Even faster: across an ocean. Now, imagine throwing it so fast that by the time gravity gets around to doing its thing, the Earth has already turned from it. Gravity keeps on tugging at the object, but it keeps missing the ground. Ta-da: you're now in orbit! And here the power of gravity is less pronounced. The only problem is that you have to go crazy fast to get here. How fast? Err…: Around 18,000 miles per hour, give or take.
