Musk's idea of immigrating to Mars

Although human beings have not been to Mars in person, but have only sent probes to the red planet, there is no end to human fantasy. With more and more understanding of Mars, many scientists, even NASA, have started the scientific exploration of moving to Mars.

Elon musk, president and founder of Space Exploration Technology Company, revealed to the media for the first time the plan to immigrate to Mars and establish a community on Mars. His long-term goal is to transfer human beings from the earth to other planets and ensure that the process is safe and cheap enough. Musk said: "If we control the cost of everyone moving to Mars at around $2 million, we can create a big market. It is estimated that there are 65,438+0,000 to 20,000 people on the earth who are willing to emigrate to other planets. People don't have to scrimp and save on buying a house on earth, and the money saved can be used to immigrate to space. "

Since the global launch of the program, more than 80,000 volunteers from hundreds of countries around the world have applied, and China has more than 1000 applicants. The registration fee has exceeded $654.38 million.

Recently, Abib, an American architectural design studio, released a design plan to build an interstellar metropolis with a capacity of 250,000 people on Mars, and will give the city a China name-"Nuwa". Alfredo Muz, founder of Abib Studio, said: "This project will be officially launched in 2054 and is scheduled to be officially completed in 2 100." On the same day, Musk also stood up and said: "In less than 2030, the fleet of Space Exploration Technology Company will reach Mars!"

In this regard, Gou Lijun, a researcher at the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that planetary mining and Martian immigration are more gimmicks for commercial propaganda. In fact, it takes time and technology to achieve it, which is difficult to achieve in one or two hundred years.

So, can the plan of human migration to Mars be realized in the near future?

A five-member team of MIT 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. It is believed that due to the conditions on Mars and the limitations of existing human technology, it is impossible to immigrate to Mars at least temporarily.

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."

The researchers said 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."

It can be seen that it is by no means so easy to immigrate to Mars.
