When We Will Be Able To Colonize Mars?

 

Organizations have proposed plans to send humans to Mars, the first step toward any colonization efforts, but nobody has stepped on the surface. Even the authors of the science fiction movie "The Martian," which is based on this movie, do not think we are anywhere near having a human settlement on Mars. To the people in charge at SpaceX, Mars One, and NASA, going to Mars may seem less like a stretch.

 

If it is impossible to colonize Mars due to human biology, well, perhaps they should reconsider, after all. If humans are going to settle down on Mars one day, maybe we are going to need to get a bit less human. We, ourselves, could be life on Mars if humans decide to venture there someday.

 

Instead of setting our sights on generations of humans living on Mars, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson says that we should be hoping for just an outpost on Earth, at best. Like the cold reaches of the Earth, Tyson says, a few humans will venture out on a brief visit to Mars, but will not stay for very long. Because Mars planet offers challenging environments and dangerous obstacles for humans to traverse, laws and cultures on Mars are likely to differ greatly from those on Earth.

 

The Red Planet is set to be settled by humans by 2050, provided that automated mining processes become commercially more viable rapidly. It is not known how the first humans to land on Mars would alter the present policies regarding the exploration of space and the habitation of celestial bodies. SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also announced plans for the establishment of a colony on Mars, which would be home to a population of 80,000.

 

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is also saying that he believes that Mars will be settled with more than a colony, with 1 million people, by 2050. Entrepreneur Elon Musk has said he is certain that there will be a city of 1 million on Mars by 2050, transported there on 1,000 rocket ships proposed by his SpaceX venture, which has plans to launch as many as three rockets per day. Elon Musk founded SpaceX with the long-term goal to develop the technologies to allow a self-sufficient human colony on Mars.

 

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says that its next-generation Starship rocket could be capable of landing passengers on Mars by 2026. Built into that plan is the development of the Mars Colonial Transporter (MCT), a spaceflight system that will rely on reusable rocket engines, launch vehicles, and space capsules to ferry humans to Mars and back to Earth. As of 2014, SpaceX had begun developing larger Raptor rocket engines for use in the Mars Colonial Transporter, but it is expected the MCT will not become operational until the mid-2020s. Billionaire Elon Musk explained that the SpaceX Mars colonization project will require a million people paying $200,000 apiece to simply travel and settle on Mars, not including costs incurred before humans leave Earth to travel to the moon.
