Musk added another golden sentence: the expansion of the sun will destroy mankind! Will immigrate to Mars in 5- 10.

Introduction: Science madman, president of Tesla, and advocate of Mars immigration plan. These names almost cover people's cognition of Musk, and it is indeed true. Especially in the aspect of Mars immigration, Musk will come out to promote a wave almost every once in a while. No, Musk also said on Twitter that humans can immigrate to Mars in five to 10 years.

The development of science and technology has brought unprecedented prosperity to human civilization, but it has also brought a certain degree of blindness! Since entering the 2 1 century, the voice of emigrating to Mars has never stopped, especially the president of SpcceX, Musk, who seems to be on the verge of emigrating to Mars.

Musk believes that humans can immigrate to Mars within 5 to 10 years.

Just this Monday, Musk, CEO of American space exploration technology company SpcceX, wrote on Twitter that the expansion of the sun may lead to the extinction of all species on earth! Only by making life on earth multi-planetary can this fate be avoided!

At the same time, Musk also claimed that SpcceX's Mars migration plan has begun to take shape, and it is expected to complete this goal within 5 to 10 years and send humans to Mars.

Musk's Mars Immigration Plan

In fact, this is not the first time that Musk has expected Mars immigrants. As an advocate of the Mars immigration plan, Musk will promote a wave of Mars immigrants almost every once in a while, but the date given each time is different, and I don't know which time is accurate.

We know that Musk's biggest bargaining chip in migrating to Mars is SpcceX's big starship, but unfortunately, the starship is still in the experimental stage. There is a high probability that the test flight will fail only on the earth, not to mention flying into space to distant Mars.

Therefore, many people think that Musk's move is nothing more than putting smoke bombs and doing some publicity for his company. Although Mars migration is indeed a direction of the development of human civilization, it is not a simple matter to break through technical barriers. After all, it is impossible for humans to land on the moon 100%, let alone Mars.

Will the expansion of the sun really destroy mankind?

Although Musk always says address unknown, I have to say that some of his words are really worth pondering. For example, Musk believes that human beings must become a multi-planet species, otherwise human beings can't escape the fate of extinction, because the expansion of the sun will destroy all life on earth!

However, this idea is too alarmist.

We know that as a star, the sun is actually in its "golden age"! According to the research of scientists, the sun has been burning for nearly 5 billion years. The life of the sun itself is about 1000 billion years. When the sun runs out of fuel, it will expand into a red giant and the earth will be swallowed up.

The earth swallowed by the sun

However, this will not happen until the sun runs out of fuel. Today's sun can exist for at least several billion years. In other words, although the earth will eventually be swallowed up by the expansion of the sun, it will be billions of years later!

Therefore, although Musk is considering the issue of human continuity from the right angle, this idea is too advanced! Does the threat after billions of years really need to be considered for today's mankind? Therefore, Martian immigration is not imminent. Moreover, it is not easy to successfully immigrate to Mars.

Mars immigration is not simple.

Although Martian immigrants often appear in everyone's field of vision in recent years, in fact, many people's attitude towards Martian immigrants is just watching the excitement. Few people think that Musk can achieve manned landing on Mars in five to 10 years. After all, in many people's cognition, Martian immigration is actually equivalent to a fantasy!

Musk's Mars Immigration Plan

Unlike the moon, the nearest distance between Mars and the Earth is 55 million kilometers, and the farthest distance even exceeds 1 100 million kilometers, which is several hundred times that between the Earth and distance to the moon. Even a Mars probe will take nearly half a year to cross such a long distance. Can a starship really fly that far with people?

Even without considering the safety of the spacecraft, long-distance travel alone will consume a lot of resources. After all, it is impossible for the spacecraft to receive supplies from the earth during the journey! The consumption of fuel, food, water and other resources alone is a difficult problem to solve.

Moreover, how should humans who fly to Mars survive? You know, the atmospheric composition of Mars is very different from that of the earth. Without protective clothing, humans can't even breathe on Mars.

Mars immigrants

Therefore, although Musk is optimistic about the future of Mars immigrants, and more than once thinks that manned landing on Mars can be achieved in a short time. But the real trip to Mars may be far more difficult than imagined. At least from the current situation, emigrating to Mars can only be regarded as a good wish!
