Migration to Mars with the help of Spacex and Ted Conferences
The advance of technology acquired exponential growth, helping in fields such as medicine, education, among others. But also a great importance within astronomy, marked by moon landing in 1969 and evolving reaching what we now see how the future of humanity, migration to Mars. Mission Mars will occur before 2035, so we will have to prepare future generations, specific companies and professionals in certain areas so that the mission is a total success. But this trip can be one of the most risky, expensive and ambitious but if everything goes as planned and we prepare certain professionals in a certain way the mission to Mars would occur earlier than expected to be more exact within approximately 15 years we will have our First civilizations within this planet. To argue on this subject, sources from Spacex and TED Conferences will be used, and problems will be discussed that we will have to face to carry out this mission.
In order for life within the red planet to be sustained, the following elements are needed: water, food, shelter, adequate space costumes and oxygen (Petranek, 2017). But many of these elements do not appear as such, but thanks to the participation of associations, most of these problems are almost solved. Let’s start with water, within the planet it is presented at the poles, underground and in its atmosphere but not in the required state. Scientists from the University of Washington before this problem designed a dehumidifier called Wavar capable of converting water vapor into drinking water, in addition to looking for a way to melt the ice inside the poles. The air will be obtained thanks to an artifact created by a MIT scientist, this artifact is called Moxie capable of absorbing Mars’s atmosphere and pumping oxygen. The food, until we have water that flows on the planet our astronauts will have a diet based on dehydrated food, insects and rarely of hydroponics. The shelter, due to the low temperatures that are recorded on Mars and high radiation, the shelters that will be used are the discouraged cabins during the day and underground shelters during the night or using the same rockets. Finally the clothing, within the atmosphere of Mars atmospheric pressure is almost nil compared to that of the Earth, in addition to the low temperatures and high cosmic radiation. Given this Dava Newman Scientific of MIT designed a special suit capable of relieving the problem but not one hundred percent.
Transportation can become one of the biggest problems within this mission, just see our history of missions sent to Mars, we have sent 44 rockets to this planet and not even half of these were a success, and it is possible to say That these were unmanned missions which means that they were ships of a smaller size compared to a manned rocket, another problem we face is the distance, the minimum distance of the earth to Mars is 225 million kilometers, as long as they are aligned In a certain way, this figure is equivalent 585 times the distance of the moon, in addition to this for only the moon landing, more than 16 rockets were necessary only between Russia and the United States during the special race where Saturn V becomes the First vehicle to bring humans to Satellite, if we examine all this we would need a larger, more spacious rocket and that can have greater fuel storage in com parracia to Saturn V. For this Spacex design the Big Falcon Rocket, the result of a fusion between rockets of the same company, in addition to designing more powerful flight engines, greater capacity and that can be reusable. But the BFR does not have the requirements for the arrival to Mars counting on its own, so rockets were designed that can be attached to the rocket and loads fuel, resources and oxygen. (Spacex, 2017)
Finally, the economic situation that we face before this mission, some expenses of the moon landing compared to the mission to Mars become cheaper, either the transport built with reused parts and that can also be used several times. They will also try to take advantage of this planet to the fullest. As in the case of the 2020-2021 years where a rocket will be sent that will carry the Moxie and Wavar artifacts so that in the next years we can send the first civilizations to the planet. In addition, rockets capable of landing will be used to be reused to solve costs and government or companies will be sought from companies. In spite of this, NASA revealed its budget for future missions so far, this budget reaches 20 billion dollars, but according to Elon Musk the costs within the mission to Mars vary depending on the resources used if we use the fair and necessary possible this mission and with costs even lower than to the Apollo missions so that budget can be the necessary. (Spacex, 2016)
To conclude, Mars mission will mean one of the greatest challenges that humanity has faced so far, however it is not impossible, so that this becomes a reality, projects should be promoted within the political and social, It can enable greater participation, collaboration or even monetary aid, in addition the technology will play a great role within this mission due to the great growth of it, this project can be facilitated to a gigantic scale lowering costs and even this mission can come true Before expected. In addition, this mission can be fundamental, because converting the human species into a multi planetary can mean greater security to traits human sustainability.
