00:03NASA's InSight Lander has been on Mars for years now, tracking any and all seismic activity on the Red Planet.
00:09The data it has provided has helped scientists figure out what's going on under the Martian surface and the planet's
00:15material composition.
00:16But now, according to researchers with ETH Zurich, the data could also now inform humanity on where to build a
00:22Mars settlement.
00:23It all started with a 4.6 magnitude quake on Mars, one experts say traveled through the entirety of the
00:28planet.
00:29This let them know just how deep its crust goes.
00:31Discovering Mars crust is around 26 to 35 miles thick, much thicker than Earth's, which is 9 to 12 miles
00:38thick.
00:38Now ETH Zurich seismologist Doyon Kim says this, along with other data about Mars, could help experts pinpoint exactly where
00:45the planned Martian base should be built.
00:47So what's the lowest latitude of the ice that we found, subsurface ice that we found?
00:55Where is the dominant seismicity?
00:58You know, where did the largest quake happen?
01:01And all this information, I think, is really a key to select sort of the base, if you will, in
01:08the future.
01:09They say it's all about finding the sweet spot where both natural resources are available.
01:12For instance, ice, which can be turned into drinking water, but also finding an area with the least chance of
01:18having extreme Marsquake hazards.
