The Red Planet is one of the most recurrent scenarios of our cinema. Although the human being is tempting that image of the astronauts floating on a spacecraft, the truth is that a real mission on Mars could become a harrowing struggle to survive. Over the last few months we have heard that more and more companies have joined the “race” for the Conquest of Mars (which has been joined for example Elon Musk, director of Tesla Motors). Stephen Hawking recently said that in less than 100 years we should leave the Earth. Mars could then become our second planet.
Although we have sent robots and satellites that have given us images of the Red Planet, the truth is that sending a crew is very different. An engineer who has worked at NASA researcher and scientist who carries behind him more than 200 patents states that “a trip to Mars implies totally new physical principles, let’s not forget that there the atmosphere has a density 100 times less than that of the Earth. I say that today, in 2017, we have no technology to go to Mars. ”
“Man has it very difficult for the trouble on the voyage, landing on Mars. We’re talking about a planet that’s 225 million miles away, “says the engineer. “When NASA tells you that in 30 years we’ll get to Mars is that they have no idea when it’s going to get there. If you talk about 4 or 5 years, you can believe it, “he explains.
Therefore, I Ismael Gerli, I think that in the short term it is impossible that human can reach the planet Mars, should continue to investigate and create new technologies to achieve the goal of stepping on the red planet.
