Elon Musk's proposal for humanity to be a multiplanetary species.




On September 8, Elon Musk gave new plans about his plan to colonize Mars, according to Elon Musk the first spacecraft to Mars will be launched within 2 years when the next Earth-Mars cat window opens, something that happens every approximately 2 years and 2 months to be exact every 780 days, it would be an uncrewed test flight, if the landing goes well the first flights with humans to Mars will be carried out in the next launch window that means we could see a human stepping on the Martian soil towards the year 2029 with these Elon Musk plans.


According to Elon Musk, starting with that flight in 2029, the rate of flights would begin to grow exponentially every two years and two months, coinciding with the launch windows because his objective would be to build a self-sufficient city in about 20 years and he ends by saying that the humanity being multiplanetary will greatly increase the probability of the preservation of human consciousness, we will have humans on two planets, more or less what he said.


The idea is that, if there is a disaster on Earth, at least there are other humans who can continue with our species and move forward, that in the long term, that is going to happen in the long term, another thing is that it happens in the deadlines that Elon Musk is pointing out, this is possible, there is a part that is yes, there is another part that is not and there is another part that it is impossible for SpaceX to launch a ship to Mars with a StarShip within 2 years as a test flight, to verify that the StarShip can land without problems, it would be possible that it would not be a manned flight so it is not necessary for that ship to be developed with all the life support to keep humans alive.




Keeping humans alive is something that can be very complex, much more complex, for example, the Orion ship is the ship that has been designed for NASA for the Artemis program to take Humans to the moon and this ship has a capacity to host humans limited to a few months, however, a trip to Mars involves traveling, staying and returning for what in the best case could be a year or more.


That two years and two months later the mission with humans is launched, I do see it as very, very complicated because the ship should be fully developed and the self-sufficient city thing, that is impossible, someone has to say it. , it is a very hasty statement to say that they will be able to build a self-sufficient city on Mars by this century, it does not make sense.




One thing is a scientific base that will surely be what we see on Mars before 2050, although it may be from China, not the United States, because China is fully launched into the space race and another thing is a mining base that in the future may have a lot sense on the moon, since the moon is much closer to the Earth than Mars, as is evident and also from the moon you can take goods and materials much easier because the gravity is less than that of Mars and with these goods, and these materials can be supplied with resources to future space factories and laboratories that produce materials and substances and medicines in microgravity conditions.


Because there are some substances and some alloys and some compounds that can only be obtained under those conditions or are obtained with a much higher purity than what could be obtained on Earth, where we cannot get rid of gravity since it surrounds us on all sides. That would be possible, but a colony, a self-sufficient city, that is, the home of families who will call Mars their home and their country, well, it is impossible, what do you think?
