Wei Wei said that | to immigrate to Mars, can Musk realize this space dream

Wang Yiwei/Wen fake news is often more touching than real news.

In mid-2021, many Chinese netizens were touched by a news report from the United States. According to the news, 18-year-old American girl Alyssa Carson will be the first person to land on Mars, because human technology has not yet reached the required level, and she may never be able to return to Earth. The information was also accompanied by photos of Alyssa's youth. Alyssa's brave dedication and sad ending are admirable.

As a result of media verification, Alyssa is indeed a person, she was born in March 2001, has reached the age of 20, not 18 years old. She did aspire to pursue a career in spaceflight and underwent a series of studies, studies and training. However, information from nasa shows that if you want to go to Mars, you must first go through professional, formal training to become an astronaut, and Alyssa has not yet participated in astronaut training; second, so far, NASA has not made a mission assignment for a manned trip to Mars; third, and most importantly, if you send astronauts to Mars, it is not a round-trip trip.

Rumors about Alyssa have been clarified, and human interest in Mars remains strong. Since 1964, aircraft launched from Earth have been visiting the giant planet. I believe that sooner or later, human beings will land on this planet.

So, which country, which institution, which person can realize this aspiration of mankind?

The most likely answer is, Elon Musk.

On December 13, Time Magazine announced the 2021 Person of the Year, and the list was Made by Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and CEO of Tesla.

Time magazine gives a whole bunch of reasons, one of them: This is a man who wants to save our planet and take us to a new habitat. His company Space Exploration Technologies holds the future of the U.S. space industry.

What the world knows about Musk is his Tesla electric car, his brain-computer interface, and his space program.

An important step in his space program is to send people to Mars and establish a base on Mars.

When will we be able to send people to Mars?

Musk replied: "If we can't land on Mars in five years, I'll be surprised." ”

Moreover, Musk hopes that one day, the rocket can carry 100 people to Mars at a time, and then produce fuel replenishment spacecraft on Mars and fly back to Earth.

It sounds exhilarating, but can it be achieved?

In my opinion, this is exactly where Musk is beyond ordinary people. He is a man who has both a big dream and a step forward to this dream step by step.

Landing on Mars is just one step in Musk's plan, and his ultimate goal is to make humans multi-planetary creatures. In other words, the earth is not the permanent and only home of human beings, and future human beings will inhabit and live on many different planets.

Landing on Mars is more like a primary experiment for humans to become multi-planetary creatures. In Musk's plan, he wants to build a self-sufficient city on Mars and bring animals and creatures from Earth there. It's a bit like a futuristic Noah's Ark.

For such a vision and dream, Musk's first thing to do is to improve the rocket's technology.

Before Musk, all the rockets of space powers were disposable. It's like a person buying a luxury car, filling it up with fuel and driving to the destination, and then the vehicle is abandoned. This practice is a waste of both money and resources.

Musk's contribution is that he recycles the rocket so that it can be reused. This improvement not only saves money and resources, but also makes interstellar travel (such as the round trip between Earth and Mars) possible.

This alone is an amazing achievement!

Of course, for Musk, there are many doubters. Some people question that he is a liar, cutting leeks in the capital markets with unrealistic gimmicks; some people question that it is completely impossible to build a base on Mars.

Skeptics can all justify themselves and can be logical and self-consistent.

Musk is self-absorbed and obstinate.

In the coming decades, we may see Musk's big rout and dissipation, and maybe see his brilliant success.

I hope to see Musk succeed. His success is based on existing technology, and it will take about half a year for the craft to reach Mars, and it will take a year to go back and forth. The maximum time astronauts have stayed in space at one time has exceeded 300 days.

The author would prefer to see the progress and success of space exploration again and again.

Because this carries the dream of future development of mankind.
