The urge to live on Mars would be novel initially, but I don't see that happening as an urge. So for me, what you'd have to do is terraform the planets first. Then they're Earth-like, and then you can go there and pitch tent, and you get off the spaceship, and you don't suffocate. And plus, if we do go to another planet and find civilizations, I'd like to think we've learned something about how to interact with people who are there to greet you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice answer a grab bag of fan-submitted Cosmic Queries on black holes, dark matter, aliens, colonizing planets, Sir Isaac Newton, and a whole lot more!
