I couldn’t get over Project Hail Mary.
That story stayed with me… so I went deeper into space, science fiction, and the idea of human survival beyond Earth. What started as curiosity turned into a full exploration of some of the most thought-provoking space books ever written.
In this video, I look at:
• The Martian https://amzn.to/42fNxxA
• Red Mars https://amzn.to/4mDujeE
• Aurora https://amzn.to/4dR6WMx
…and how each of these books explores the future of humanity in space—and specifically, the idea of colonizing Mars.
What I discovered is that science fiction doesn’t always agree.
Some stories make Mars feel possible.
Others challenge whether humans should go there at all.
This video is part book discussion, part science reflection, and part personal journey—starting from Project Hail Mary and ending with a much bigger question:
👉 Can humans actually live on Mars… or are we underestimating the challenge?
