Hello adventurers and welcome to Mars City. I will be your host.

Now normally you'd

get, you'd be able to see me, I'm a hologram. But due to a virus, computer virus,
you'll only be able to hear me today. I'm told that you may recognize my voice. I
don't know why you would recognize my voice. I'm a hologram in the late 24th
century. Come back in time to welcoming, greet you. So this, this welcome video
will be in three parts. Day. Let's start off by talking about the history of our
great planets, Mars, and the history of colonization of Mars. The Mars was the
target of many space probes in the late 20th century and early 21st century, even
into the mid 21st century. By, by the 21st century prides, nations created our race
to Mark's. Let's see here, who is one of those countries don't exist anymore, but
that's okay, so it doesn't really matter. So I brought explores and scientists to
Mars. I believe the prediction for who've made was in a book called The Space
Odyssey, OD hyphen when it says the why but time. So what do did our initial
explorers need wound? They got to Mars. And of course, what we take for granted for
tags. We've already had it here for hundreds of years. What did they need to
survive on Mars? I want you to think about that for a moment. What did the first
explorers have to bring with them to be able to survive the parallels Mars. Well,
they needed liquid water. Now there is liquid water on Mars, but it's deep
underground. They need oxygen, which we have plenty of now, but they didn't at
first bringing food because it takes a long time to grow food. And for some reason
I keep getting questions about potatoes. We do not grow potatoes on Mars. I don't
know what people has that any warm temperatures because apparently you, him and
beans die. The normal temperatures here on wards. So you need warmer temperatures
and of course you have to have energy to be able to do just about anything you
want. So and it isn't that human frailty, which I don't suffer from because I'm a
hologram. Also have to face the following teachers and make sure that they protect
themselves from. The first one is cosmic rays and X-rays from the sun. You need to
be shielded from these high-energy particles on Earth, you're shielded by two
things. One, the magnetic field tends to block these particles. Deflect these
particles actually. And the atmosphere tends to absorb the, they hit the atmosphere
and they stopped before none of them, but most of them before they get to you. Mars
has very little atmosphere. We have no magnetic field. And so there's nothing to
protect you from cosmic rays. Solar flares can create a huge influx of X-ray
radiation, which can be damaging to you humans. And luckily I'm holograms on
immune. The trip over can give you muscle, bone loss in weightlessness. 1au Mars on
Mars or not weightless, we do have about 1 third of earth gravity see weigh a lot
less. So you don't have to worry so much about that. And of course, on your way
here you have to worry about cabin fever. And in the first people on Mars, because
there weren't a whole lot of people to talk to, had to worry about homesickness and
Cabin Fever. Mars, we have all sorts of interesting geologists, including this one
here that you see this picture up. This is a river delta. We have plenty of these
on mars. Lots of evidence for water in the past 4 billion years ago, when we had
running rivers and floods, floods a 100 times bigger than any known flood on Earth,
including the one at the end of the last ice age that carved out lots of geology in
the western part of the United States. So Mars had lots of water in the past, but
where did it go? Before we explain that more evidence, we got rid of the evidence.
So if you look at the geology of Mars, the first half a billion years, we had a
very wet world. In fact, we had water and oceans on Earth, while Earth was still
cooling. We may even have had life on Mars before life could start on Earth. It is
even possible that a meteorite knocked off a piece of Mars into space. That then
went to Earth and see did life on Earth. So you, earthlings may actually be
martians. So but after that, something happened on Mars. Oops, this is earth.
Here's Mars. So after that, about this point here, about 4 billion years ago, the
magnetic field MR. shut off and that cause a chain reaction of martyrs that led it
to be what it is today. And so that is the end of part one of our three-part
series. And in part two we'll talk about where the water and what happened to the
magnetic fields, and how did that affect the water?
