What is the implementation plan of Musk's Mars immigration plan?

The first step to complete the concrete plan of self-sufficient settlement and immigration to Mars is to make Mars reach the critical point of "environmental globalization"-warming this cold planet. The temperature near the equator of Mars can sometimes reach above 0℃. In order to completely melt the frozen material of Mars, it is necessary to make the outer atmosphere of Mars reach at least 40℃.

Unlike the earth's efforts to curb the greenhouse effect, Robert Zuberlin, the founder and scientist of the Mars Society, said that human beings will create a "huge greenhouse effect" on Mars. In Zuberlin's plan, the time to complete this step is about 2 150 years. Zuberlin put forward three plans to make Mars warm, and the third plan was approved by many scientists.

The first plan: space mirror

Zuberlin's first plan to heat Mars is a large mirror, whose diameter will exceed 120km and its orbit on the surface of Mars will exceed 2 1km. This kind of mirror will reflect sunlight to the designated area of Mars to release the atmosphere and water below the frozen surface. But this space mirror is too big, and the scientific level when humans put forward this concept could not make such a space mirror.

Option 2: Asteroid Impact

Many asteroids in space are made of frozen ammonia, which is an important greenhouse gas. Zuberlin's plan is to let an asteroid with a diameter of about 2.5 kilometers hit Mars. The huge energy generated by the impact will melt 1 trillion tons of ice on Mars into water, and the ammonia gas released after the asteroid impact can also greatly heat Mars. He estimated that 40 such impacts would make Mars habitable. However, it is also very difficult to realize this plan scientifically.

The third scheme: making greenhouse gases.

Zuberlin's third plan is to artificially produce greenhouse gases on Mars, which is considered to be the most feasible plan. Like many scientists, Zuberlin thinks that carbon tetrafluoride is the most effective greenhouse gas, and he plans to build several chemical plants on Mars to continuously produce carbon tetrafluoride. According to calculation, if 1000 tons of this gas is discharged every hour, the average temperature of Mars will rise by 27.8℃ within 30 years. This process is expected to consume 5,000 MW, and five nuclear power plants can meet these energy needs.

The general manager of the Russian Aerospace Group criticized Musk's Mars immigration plan as ridiculous.

According to Sputnik, rogozin, general manager of the Russian National Aerospace Corporation, said that the Russian Aerospace Corporation plans to establish a space ecological monitoring system in recent years, instead of making a plan of "earth escape".

According to reports, elon musk, the founder and CEO of American Space Exploration Technology Company, has claimed many times in recent years that in order to prevent global disasters on earth, human beings must emigrate to Mars. To this end, Musk is developing a "starship".

Rogozin said: "In recent years, the Russian Aerospace Group will make every effort to build an on-orbit satellite group for ecological monitoring and emission reduction. Experts have begun to design satellites that can detect harmful ecological behaviors, including carbon dioxide emissions. " Rogozin said that the Russian Aerospace Group will cooperate with the Planetary Research Center to develop new satellites.

Rogozin pointed out that Musk's plan was "absurd" and more like a "stunt". "Our task is to leave a pollution-free natural environment and a planet suitable for human development for our future generations, instead of trying to escape from the earth, and then let the selected people wear transparent helmets and run to the lifeless planet."
