    I'm really glad we live in timeline where mad scientists can have Youtube channels

    I've been watching Cody for years, he has a brain that needs to be protected! We love you Cody ❤
  • @bfg1637
    After over 5 years of watching your videos, this one video finally confirmed something I've always expected. You are a mad scientist lol. You have a laboratory, your own clone robot, evil hench (wo)men (Your chickens), swarms of bees and now your talking about throwing astriods at planets. There should be a youtube reward for best mad scientist. Keep it up buddy haha love the ideas.

    Samuel Hayden: "You can't just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars..." Cody: "The portal is ready."
  • 3:20 Wouldn't the angle of repose for rock (or sand) be steeper on Mars due to the reduced gravity?

    Hey Cody! Love your solution ! But have you heard of the theory of placing a rather small electromagnet at Lagrange point L2 right between the sun and Mars and create a electromagnetic field as to repel solar winds to make an atmosphere on Mars. I've heard the energy that would be needed for such electromagnet would be minuscule (not even a hundredth of what USA makes annually iirc). Could you have a look about the calculation and do a little video about it please? Keep it up 👍

    When you see Cody suggesting we blow a giant hole into mars on April 1st...... Not sure if prank or not.....
  • @gideon7212
    This is the exact type of "what if" that I love
  • @michaeldeleted
    One of the "smaller" problems with this is that is would be a hydraulic jump for the winds, and sand would constantly drift in.
  • @UdderlyEvelyn
    I for one think this is the best idea there's been for shorter-term Mars terraforming, lol.

    “You can’t just shoot a hole into the surface of mars” doomguy does it anyways
  • @RUTired
    I've thought about this before, just in context of a vertical mine shaft. You're explanation answered a lot more engineering questions I had that I never explored. Thanks.
  • How deep would you need to go to hit something like half an atmosphere, uncomfortable but technically livable? (Or even less if you bring your own oxygen and simply don’t want to have to wear a counter pressure suit to stop your body exploding) I understand the exponential argument so maybe it doesn’t buy you that much, but still!

    When Cody's April fools is too plausible so someone actually tries it...
  • "you cannot shoot a hole in the surface of Mars!! " - he said, 10 000 times.
  • @hoglefish
    I love what your brain comes up with. It’s fun to watch you work through the details. You ROCK Cody!
  • @roncrawford5013
    Cody you are an absolute mad man and a legend and I love every minute of it. You blow my mind with your ideas and I learn a ton from your channel. Thanks for always being there when I need a change of pace from the usual stuff I watch on YT. Hope you're doing well and keep on being you.

    "if you've ever been on a hike (on Earth)..." Clearly shows that Cody is not from this planet.
