What does Bill Gates think of Musk's Mars immigration plan?

In an interview, Bill Gates expressed "dissatisfaction" with Jeff Bezos and elon musk's plans to explore outer space.

Gates said, "I don't know. I am obsessed with solving diseases such as malaria and AIDS. I often talk about these diseases at cocktail parties. Maybe my topic has bored everyone. When asked about the interest of some billionaires in space travel, Gates said, "Space? We still have a lot to do on earth. "

In the interview, the host thanked Gates, calling him "the only billionaire who didn't try to escape from the earth by spaceship".

Humans can only live on Mars for 68 days. So people who want to immigrate to Mars need to think carefully.

A five-member team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used the data of the Dutch Mars-1 Space Launch Company to analyze the mathematical formulas of oxygen, food and technology needed by human beings to immigrate to Mars, and completed a 35-page report, believing that it is impossible to immigrate to Mars due to the conditions on Mars and the limitations of human existing technology.

According to the report, if you really immigrate to Mars, the plants brought from the earth can only produce an "unsafe" amount of oxygen, and the oxygen content will start to run out in about two months. "After about 68 days, the first death may occur."

Researchers say that if humans want to settle on Mars for a long time, they need new technologies. "Some form of life support system is needed, which is an undeveloped technology in space flight."

In addition, it is also a challenge to transport spare parts from the earth to Mars, which will increase the cost of emigrating to Mars.

Mars is at least 55 million kilometers away from the earth, and it will take at least 7 months for humans to arrive. "Mars No.1" company has previously launched the "no return" Mars immigration plan, and plans to send the first batch of immigrants to Mars in 2023. This plan has caused many professionals to question and be accused of being unreliable.

Buzz Lansdorp, CEO of Mars-1, argued that the data used by MIT researchers were incomplete and the technology needed to immigrate to Mars was "almost ready".
