“What do you mean we sacrificed Chase!? Oh sorry I meant we ‘sent’ Chase 😂😂😂

Elon Musk should volunteer himself to go live on Mars

Can we all just take a minute and acknowledge and appreciate the fact that this man gave his life making this video for us!?!? Bravo sir, well done…. Extremely well done 👍….. your memory will live on forever my friend 😢 👌 💪 😉

I need to correct you. Martian atmosphere is so incredibly thin that the cold wouldn't affect you like it would on Earth. A cup of coffee would freeze in Antarctica alot faster than on Mars (making up for the lost water through evaporation on Mars initially as it cools enough to stop boiling and marking the freeze at 0°C and not -40 odd where it freezes in a near vacuum. Also, human skin is so resilient, it keeps the pressure inside your body meaning in a vacuum your body might be at 0.7 atm (Earth) your blood doesn't boil. Only exposed liquids, saliver, sweat, tears will boil. You'd probably have to physically close your eyes tight to prevent them being popped out but you could survive for as long as it would take to pass you probably 15s max. So your astronaut would have made the 5 second distance, and the cold wouldn't do a thing

I feel sorry for Chase here. He built a pretty decent living space with all the amenities, only to have the animators kill him off to prove a point.

The problem with Mars is, it LOOKS like some areas of Earth. That's a problem because it means lives will be lost TRYING to colonize it. Here's an idea: Terra-form EARTH so we can live in more places! (Such as ice caps, under water, or deserts which could become lush and green.) Way easier, and the travel time is months shorter, and you can even have live video calls with your relatives! Oh and Earth happens to have Earth-like gravity (more than any other planet) so your bones won't wither away and the muscles won't atrophy.

Mars's atmosphere is so thin that even its fastest winds would not be strong enough to blow you around.

5 seconds on Mars. So like by the time u take off ur Helmut ur basically dead. U won't even be able to get one breath. So how can u smell somthing when u would even be able to get even a breath.

“Take that Matt Damon” Lol

So I think you could probably manage it, IRL. Mar's atmosphere is very thin, basically negligible, but it's not worse than the vacuum of space. In space without a suit, you can live for up to a minute with 16 seconds of useful consciousness. Honestly, the best thing to do here is hyperventilate to increase your blood oxygen, then exhale and go. You'll still be exposed to incredible cold and flying debris, which will cut like razors, but breathing wouldn't be a problem.

I thought you die 😢

He can speak spanish

damn ur videos have improved so much its so entertaining i love it this new style is so amazing the conversation between chase and rico was amazing keep it up

Incorrect. Although Martian dust storms can be very large in diameter (continental or even global in size), they are not at all powerful due to the thin atmosphere (as you yourself have stated). The strongest storms recorded are only about 60 miles per h.

-150° is crap 20° in day time.
-
U would die?
-
Dafaq was that?

"If you think Uranus smell bad Mars smells like rust and gunpowder" That second one doesn't smell bad
