This is a $1 billion rocketship. A future technology that will one day take you all the way to Mars to live in your brand new home, a $500 million biosphere. Oh my gosh.
And throughout this video, we'll show you just how epic the future will be. You'll see how we're going to bring extinct species back to life. This is literally the future.
Flying cars that can take you anywhere. [Karl] What? [Jimmy] And so much more.
No way. All starting with this $1 light, which when you combine millions of them, can simulate the future of humanity… or Mars. And in this video, I'm excited to show you guys the most futuristic technology on the planet.
But next, we're going with a $10,000 technology, Neuralink, which is a computer chip surgically implanted into the brain, enabling people like Noland here to reconnect to the world. So you were paralyzed from the neck down? Yeah, and for about eight years, I was trying to find some purpose in my life.
And then you got Neuralink, and what has that changed? Anything anyone can do on a computer, I can do. And he literally does it by using only his brain.
You're currently moving that with your thoughts? Yeah. Yeah, man.
I want to see you send a text with your brain. Ok. His hands are paralyzed, but we're gonna film ‘em so you can see they're not moving.
And using the neurons firing in Noland's brain, Neuralink can translate those signals into movements. He just typed “Hi” with his mind. Is this not crazy to anyone else?
But that's not all he can do. So you just think left and you're about to turn left? Left, right.
Don't die. -[Jimmy] Ah! No!
-[Noland] There we go. He absolutely crushed us playing with only his mind. I never thought it would allow me to do anything like this.
And future technology cannot only help the mind, but also the body, for people like Kai. A 12 year old born without an arm and was sadly abandoned on the side of the road. This is what Kai thinks he's about to get.
This is hard. And he has no idea he's in a fake doctor's office, and about to get the most advanced bionic arm on the planet. A $25,000 bionic ligament straight out of a superhero movie.
Let’s surprise him. Hey, Kai. Hello.
[Jimmy] Do you mind telling me a little bit about yourself? I'm 12. I’m adopted from China.
Kai has no idea that that’s Jimmy. Your mom told me that you're a big fan of the channel. Wait.
No way. Yes and this is the arm you were gonna be getting, but I didn't think that was good enough, so I got you a present. No way.
This is the most futuristic bionic arm on the planet. Your mom told me that you like playing sports, you like being active and this should make everything you wanna do much more easy. There's no way.
The cool part about this arm, too, is there's sensors in there, and you'll be able to use the hand without having to pull on anything. The sensors will be able to pick up on your nerves. [gasp] Isn't that freaking cool?
Yes! Flex that forearm. Oh, look at that.
Here's a piece of wood. See if you can grab it. There you go.
Is that not freaking crazy? All right, do you wanna try shaking my hand? [Tareq] Oh, that's so cool.
[Jimmy] There we go. Look at that. And then, obviously, if you ever don't want the Beast branding, you can just pop it off, so you don't have to have it.
I'm keeping this on. [laughing] This is the best day of my life. Really-- Aw.
I've seen so many of your videos where you help people. I never thought that would be me. Here we are.
Sure, this bionic arm is life changing, but it's nothing compared to the $150,000 flying car. Do you think that thing will beat me to work? Oh, yeah.
If somehow you win, I'll give you $1 million. You'll give me $1 million if I win? Oh, yeah.
Oh, all right. Let's get this goin’! We're gonna race to work and see which is faster: a flying car or a normal car.
All right, let the race begin. Ok. Whoa!
[Karl] He's right next to you! [Jimmy] He's literally flying! What?
Did he just peel off into the ocean? [Jimmy] Yeah, he doesn't need roads. [Karl] That’s cheating!
For this to be a true test, we have to obey all traffic laws. See look, we have to stop at a stop sign. Now, we can go.
But with a flying car, he can just take a straight path. Which is why, for as long as people have thought about the future, flying cars have always been at the forefront. Oh, wait.
I can see him. [Karl] Oh! That’s him!
-Wait he might already be over halfway! -How? We just started!
We gotta hurry. Imagine how much time you could save every single day if your commute to work was cut in half, because you could fly to it instead of having to drive to it. I’d save like a thousand hours a year.
Uh, maybe not a year. I didn't do any math. This $150,000 flying car doesn't even compare to the $1 billion rocket ship we’ll be seeing later.
This is just the beginning. This thing got here so fast. Come on in.
Oh! Oh, God. I forgot we're at a beach.
Jimmy's not catching up to that at all. [Karl] Jimmy, I think you're cooked for the million. Yeah, well luckily, I never said I would give him a million if he won.
He just said he'd give me $1 million. [Jimmy] Let me make sure I don't actually run over someone. [Jimmy] Oh, there it is.
How long have you been here? Ten minutes. -You've been here for ten minutes?
-Absolutely. Oh my gosh. I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited to drive one of these one day.
And if you're not excited for the future yet, how about you take this jetpack to work soon. [Jimmy] For the price of half a million dollars… this jetpack can fly over 80 miles an hour, and with a three mile range, it's easily the fastest way to get to work. So happy at work.
[Majd] Glad you could make it. [Jimmy] The future of transportation isn't just in the sky. It's also on the ground.
And for a million dollars, we have the fastest car in the world. And I’m gonna get in and drive it. Now, not only is this the fastest car in the world… Oh, oh!
Oh my gosh, it accelerates so fast. But it has so much suction that it can drive upside down. Oh, all right.
Oh my gosh! Jimmy is turning upside down right now! This is absolutely terrifying, but not as terrifying as being in a normal car.
[Tareq] This is so crazy. [Nolan] He's defying gravity right now! Oh, I feel all the blood in my body rushing to my head.
This thing has two vacuum fans so powerful you can literally drive it upside down. Just not very far. And at ten times the cost of this car, Mercedes put the future price tag of this concept car at $10 million.
This is a vision of a futuristic car in, let's say, a couple hundred years. It’s also inspired by the universe of Pandora. It's more like a creature.
So if I touch it… It will react to you, yes. Whoa! What happens if I pet it?
Yeah you see, he likes it. Um, that is-- Uh, ok. Can I take the creature for a spin?
Yes. Let's have some fun. So all you do is you just press it forward to go forward.
[Karl] What? [Jimmy] Is that crazy? And then you pull it back to stop, and then this top part twists so you can drive the car sideways.
[giggling] Oh my God. These chairs pick up your heartbeat and all your vitals and then automatically adjust everything. They will automatically change the temperature for you.
Watch this. Wait, so then in theory I can drive. Yeah, you can drive it.
But this car is worth $10 million, by the way, so… -It is? -Yeah. And I'm driving with my left hand right now?
Ok… Oh my gosh, this is trippy. Speaking of trippy, see that drone right there? I do.
That is called Wing. This is literally the future of delivery. Now check this.
[Karl] That is crazy, and then it just lets go. [Jimmy] Super convenient. They can deliver your packages in minutes.
And to put that to the test, while we were shooting our next Wilderness Challenge video, I ordered s'mores ingredients for a contestant through the Wing app. And even though they normally deliver to your doorstep, Wing did a special delivery for this Wilderness video faster than any other delivery service could have. What would've normally taken hours, was just delivered in a couple of minutes to the middle of the woods.
There you go. Everything you need for s'mores delivered in minutes. Normally though, Wing delivers to your doorstep or backyard.
What the heck? Flying packages? [Jimmy] And this isn't just the future.
Wing has already delivered over 750,000 packages to people's doors. Thanks, Jimmy. Go to Wing.
com/Mreast to learn more. But for now, we're heading to our $200 million technology. Which brings us to Upside Foods that has literally produced hundreds of thousands of pounds of chicken meat without killing a single chicken, which is incredible because over 220 million chickens are killed every single day in order to sustain demands for their meat.
And Upside Foods has spent over $200 million in research and development in order to create this technology. Let me show you how we do it. Please do, I don't understand.
When we took cells from a chicken egg in 2018, we cracked an egg, we took a small amount of cells, and we froze them in this that goes down to -80. Wow. And you've used those cells to make hundreds of thousands of pounds of chicken meat?
Step two is we take those cells, we gently thaw them out. Oh my gosh, this is simulating a chicken's body and the cells are just multiplying? Once we get enough of them, we move on to step three.
This is protein, fat, sugar. I'm literally feeding the chicken cells over there so they can multiply into chicken meat. That's right.
Yes. And once the chicken feed is in the container, it moves all the way through these pipes and through the factory and eventually ends up in here. We can look through this.
You'll see chicken cells just swimming and swimming in there. [Jimmy] Oh my goodness. It's a lot of chicken.
Every two seconds this produces a chicken's worth of chicken meat? Yeah, every few seconds. [Jimmy] And saving chicken lives is not the only upside to Upside Foods.
These chickens don't get diseases, so you don't have to worry about a disease spreading on the farm, and then you eating a sick chicken. Honestly, it seems too good to be true. Well, let's go and try it!
Please, I need to try it. I need to see how this tastes. Now we're gonna put the meat we just grew to the test.
Come on in! I brought one of the best chefs I know, Nick DiGiovanni, and he's prepared for us two chicken sandwiches, one of these sandwiches, a chicken was killed today to make. The other, no chickens were killed, and it was grown in a lab.
Which do you think we’ll like better? I think if I cook it right, you won't be able to tell. Ok, this is gonna be a good test.
He's now giving me one of each chicken sandwich. So we're both trying this one. Here's what it actually is.
Me and Tareq do not know. -Cheers. -Cheers it.
Here we go. Yeah. It's chicken.
Chicken. Now we're gonna try this one. This is what it is.
We don't know. Cheers it. I honestly can't tell.
It's actually scary how similar th-- I mean, they're both chicken. No matter what, both of them taste really good. This one's the cultivator.
You're wrong. No shot. That's the cultivated one.
Honestly, can't tell the difference. What the heck? And what's crazy is, in the near future, this technology could save the lives of trillions of chickens and other animals.
Which brings us to Colossal, the $400 million future tech which literally brought the dire wolf back to life and is currently working on bringing back the woolly mammoth and dodo bird. This is the founder, and he's responsible for bringing back from extinction the animals we're about to see today. You're gonna be one of our scientists and go in the whole process.
You're gonna help us do the all the steps to bring back extinct species. I'm not qualified, but let's do it. Tens of thousands of years ago, woolly mammoths ruled the mainland.
But after the end of the ice age, they all went extinct, leaving behind their DNA in the form of their fossilized tusks. This is a real tusk. It's 43,000 years old from Alaska.
This might be one of the coolest things in the world. It really is. And this is leading to bring back the mammoth.
How many decades till you're able to make a woolly mammoth? We will have mammoths this decade. Oh my gosh.
And I'm directly helping by collecting a real mammoth DNA sample. -There you go. -[Jimmy] Oh!
Perfect. You nailed it. This is a piece of a 43,000 year old tusk.
And that's just the first step in bringing an extinct creature to life. Next, we have to clone the DNA. You're gonna use a laser to actually pierce into a cell and transfer and clone the cell.
Wait, wait. Let me try the code. Ok.
1-2-3-4. Oh my gosh! If anyone wants to break in, let me know.
It's definitely not 1-2-3-4. [Jimmy laughs] [Ben] Step once on that orange pedal. All right.
[Ben] So now with your right hand, you're gonna move that little pipette and you're gonna go through the hole that you cut using the laser. We're almost there, yeah. Ok… [Ben] Surgical precision.
[Scientist] You got it! Yep. [Ben] And there you go.
[Scientist] Yes, yes, yes! Yes! You have successfully extracted the DNA.
Wait, I wanna put it in a different one. Is he supposed to do that? Yeah.
He totally can! I mean, that is the cloning process. I'm a cloner.
[Ben] So now… [Jimmy] I got it. Don't worry about it. -See, then you just shove it in here.
-[Scientist] Yep. Oh, oh, little too much. -[group reaction] -[Jimmy] Oh… That's exactly the opposite of what's supposed to happen.
I need some more practice in cloning animals. But before they can bring a woolly mammoth back to life, first, they mixed its DNA with that of a mouse and created a woolly mouse. In just a few years, Colossal will use this same technology to bring the woolly mammoth back from extinction.
All right, crazy question. Can I touch it? Yes, you will be the first person ever outside of our animal operations team to touch the woolly mice.
Like, I actually never even pet the woolly mice. I'm literally going to hold an animal that until recently, never existed in history. [Ben] This is Dale.
[Jimmy] Dale is so soft. I now have woolly mammoth DNA. Anyone wanna buy it?
-I'm selling it! -No, no-- -Someone wash his hands, please. -[Jimmy] Nope!
Colossal has spent over $400 million not just bringing back animals, but also saving them from extinction. We have over a thousand species already in this bio-vault alone. There are over a thousand species in here that could one day go endangered.
And you're just holding on to their DNA -in case you need to bring them back. -Exactly. Ben let me label some of the samples that could actually be stored for hundreds of years.
This is dozens of endangered species that I'm gonna slide into here. Close it. Yep.
Ok. And those might sit there for years, decades. -Yeah, for decades.
-But if any of those species go extinct, you can now pull out blood and tissue -and clone them. -And reanimate them and clone them, yes. How did more people not know about this?
This is crazy. And before I left, I had a little surprise for them. Can I ask one favor?
Sure. Tareq, hand it to me. This is a cake made of meat, and you have two dire wolves that you brought back from extinction.
I know your dire wolves are classified, but what if I hand you this and you give the meat cake to the dire wolves and film it? I will totally do that. Ok.
I like that answer. And Ben kept his promise. You're watching the only two dire wolves in the universe, literally resurrected from the past, enjoying a meat cake made just for them.
And apparently, the only difference between saving all animals and saving all humans is $100 million. Bringing us to this half a billion dollar biosphere… which is literally the blueprint for what human life will be like on other planets. Let's go be Martians for a day, boys.
-[Karl] Woo! -[Nolan] Let's do it. Because this exact biosphere could be our future home on Mars, surviving there means it needs to produce its own oxygen, water, and self-sustaining food source.
Come on in, boys. Make sure you seal the door behind you. We are now sealed inside the biosphere, which means we can take these suits off.
-[Jimmy] Now, just gentle on the nose. -[Nolan] Okay… [Jimmy screams] -You good? -Yes.
-[Karl] Yay! -Okay. Wow, being an astronaut is way harder than you think.
It's time to begin our first day as Martians. While we're not actually on Mars yet, this biosphere could save humanity if Earth becomes uninhabitable. This biosphere has everything needed to sustain human life.
Even a girlfriend for me? It's a biosphere, not God. -[Nolan laughing] -Can't pull off miracles.
This place also has five different biomes, much like Minecraft. I wanna take you to one of the cooler ones, a rainforest. I don't know if you guys realize, but these plants have been living in here, some of them, for over 30 years.
Dude, that's older than Tareq. No, it's not actually. -Oh, it's the same age?
-[laughing] Yeah. Now, if we keep walking right over here, the rainforest can also… [claps twice] -…rain. -It's literally raining in here.
I told them to only have it rain on the left side of the biosphere, which is why I'm dry and you guys are getting wet. Are you getting a little cold? -Yeah, it's freezing.
-Well here, come on the not-raining half. Oh! It literally isn’t raining.
You know like, those snow globes you get for Christmas? -Yeah. -That's what this biosphere is.
It's your own mini Earth that you can put on any planet in the Solar System. Like in the real world, there isn't just rainforest. Now, we're gonna head over to the savanna.
The savanna biome is the ideal climate for growing food, which is why it's arguably the most important of the five. These are ghost peppers, as you can see. Nolan, you wanna give it a try?
Sure. Oh! [cough] Actually, no.
I actually need water! It's a ghost pepper. [chugs water] Nolan, we don't have much water on Mars.
Stop wasting it. I hear milk helps. You wanna try our brand new Feastables caramel chocolate bar?
Stop talking. Put it in my mouth. And much like the current state of Nolan's mouth, we're now in the desert biome.
All right, ignore the "do not enter" sign. -Do you feel that wind? -Wait, we're inside.
Wind like this is actually important so the trees strengthen themselves and stand up. And that is just one of countless findings that has come out of this biosphere. It's done wonders for research.
All right, gentlemen, this right here is a swampland. And the cool part about this… -[Jimmy] Grab one of these plants. -[Nolan] What is this?
This tastes just like a potato chip. Isn't that crazy? It's crunchy.
Salty. Yeah. On Mars, if you're, like, boiling food or whatever, you’d put that in there, and it would make the food salty.
What! That's awesome. And that brings us to our final biome, the ocean.
-[Jimmy] Check it out. -[Nolan] That's a lot of water. [Karl] That's a beach.
[Jimmy] A literal beach inside of the biosphere. Now that we have everything we need to survive the rest of our lives here, I say we have a Martian dinner. Minus the ghost pepper?
With extra ghost pepper. Let's do it. This is a vertical garden which can grow the same amount of food as two and a half acres of farmland.
Just 20 years ago, if you wanted to turn this vertical garden into a business, it would've been nearly impossible. But thanks to Shopify, it's never been easier to bring your business to life. Just like the technology in this video is changing the world, Shopify changed the world of starting a business, making it easier than ever.
Every 26 seconds, there's a sale made on Shopify. Karl, do you want some lemons? Yes, please.
Shopify’s new tool, Sidekick, is basically like an AI co-founder for your business and can help with websites, set up marketing plans, and routine tasks to save you time. It's pretty awesome. -Ghost pepper again?
-No. -This one's small. -No!
-It's in the basket. -No. And since we can't solely rely on lemons and ghost peppers… one thing Mars could have?
Cultivated chicken from Upside Foods. This chicken that doesn't kill chickens, this biosphere, all the things you see in this video were once an idea in someone's mind. Thanks to Shopify, you, too, can play a part in shaping the future.
Whatever ideas you have in your mind, you can bring to life. All you have to do is scan the QR code or go to Shopify. com/Mreast to turn your dream into an actual business.
You could literally do it today before you go to bed. It's kinda wild that this is all futuristic tech, but it's not that far away. Like, if a woman ever talks to Nolan and he has a kid, there's a reality where that kid grows up on Mars one day.
Everything in this video is in reach. Well, minus “you having a kid” part. All this stuff you see here doesn't just magically teleport to Mars.
It needs a rocket ship to take it there. And as of now, that rocket ship is Starship, the $1 billion futuristic tech made possible by SpaceX, who invited me here to see their plans to launch thousands of starships to Mars, making humanity a multi-planetary species. Starship is made here in one of the largest buildings on the planet.
Why do they need such a large building? Well, basically, raw materials come at one end, and literal rocket ships go out the other. Like that?
Yeah, like. I mean, bro, there's rocket ship pieces everywhere. And we have the vice president of Starship to show us how the technology they're developing here will define humanity's future.
[Vice President] This is the inside of Starship. Whoa! In a few years, we'll be sending people to the moon and shortly after, to Mars.
Can we buy tickets to Mars? -Yeah. Let's talk about it later.
-Dibs. And you want to be able to send thousands of Starships at a time? -[Vice President] Thousands of Starships.
-[Jimmy] And each Starship -could hold 100 people? -Yes. Oh my gosh.
Bro, the future is crazy. I'm so excited. While I was being shown around arguably the coolest thing humanity's ever built, I wanted to ask some hard hitting questions.
Has Starship ever encountered an unidentified object up in space? Not yet, that we can talk about. Would the answer be different if I asked you off-camera?
No. Anyways, let's keep going. It's crazy how normal everyone is in here.
Like they're all working really hard, but I think they might be numb to the fact that they're building rockets. This is crazy. You guys realize you're working on a rocket ship, right?
-Yes. -Isn't that freaking crazy? Yeah, it is.
I'd be terrified if they didn't realize that. And the rockets that these two are building are fully reusable Starships. And when they reenter Earth's atmosphere, they endure temperatures hotter than molten lava.
So the SpaceX team engineered a custom heat shield system. We've been talking a little bit about heat shield tiles, and here we have one for you to hold. -Yeah.
-What do you think? So this is the heat shield tile? -This is a real heat shield tile.
-Whoa! This is very light! Wait, hold that.
[Vice President] Because there's 18,000 of them. How hot can this get? They can get so hot that a blowtorch can't get through it.
What if I put my hand here, we put this here, and then you blow torch this? I'll blow torch it. Really?
You have that much faith? I have that much faith. Let's test it.
Someone give me a blow torch. Not sure I signed a waiver. No waiver required.
Oh, of course the blow torch looks like Starship. I love how committed this company is. For reference, so you can see this is real.
Look at that. [blows] -Karl, you should-- -I'd love to. I’ll hold it.
Wait, wait, don't-- Don't burn my hand. Of course. [Jimmy] Wow!
Look, it's turning orange. This is over 2,000 degrees, and I feel nothing on my hand. Science is cool.
What happens if I touch it now? It probably won't burn you, but it will… [laughing] He's like, "What an idiot. ” SpaceX is building hundreds of Starships all at the same time.
You guys are churning out rockets like they’re cars. Exactly. This is basically a car line that builds rockets.
I was then granted access to do something that is normally off limits for civilians. This is a flap so it's getting all the tiles installed. Can I put one on?
Let me ask. -We don't want the rocket to blow up. -Of course.
I mean, we’ve never had someone install flight hardware who's not trained for it. So what we got here is a heat shield tile. We put this on, then we fold the edges up and we snap the tile in.
-Okay. -And we're gonna let you do that. Oh, really?
But you can only do this once. You can't go backwards. So if you mess it up, we have to destroy it to get it out.
-Really? -Yeah, so no pressure. -That feels like a lot of pressure.
-Okay, let's do it. I'm a rocket engineer. Yeah, this will fly to space if you do it right.
And if you don't… -You'll have to pull it off? -It’s bad. Uh, it's definitely… -No?
Wrong end? -Definitely wrong. Maybe it does take rocket science.
So now you can push it. Just push down? -There you go.
-There it is! -Ok! -You did it.
Now, I'm signing the tile MB, Mreast. If for whatever reason, this tile causes the rocket to blow up… Everything you're watching right now is AI. It's not real.
You can't prove this is real. Well, I'm an eyewitness. You're also AI.
In the case that this blows up. As massive as this billion dollar rocket factory is, it’s still not big enough for the final step of building Starships. This is how large Starship is, once it's fully put together everything we just showed you.
The camera doesn't do it justice. This thing is massive. There's a good chance you'll be able to fly on this one day and go to a different planet.
Crazy. And at the end of our Starbase tour, they took us to see all the other Starships just waiting to go to space around the Starbase campus. Social media and the news can make the future seem so negative and dire.
But honestly, what I saw in this video gave me hope. From the insane of biotech developed to give people with disabilities a new chance at life… to cars that literally fly in the air, redefining how we move around the world… to the DNA technology saving animals from suffering as well as from extinction… learning to live on other planets and how to get there, pushing humanity beyond Earth to worlds we once thought unreachable. And if you ask me, that's a pretty exciting future.
