Mars, one way ticket please

A manned trip to Mars is the distant future? There are concepts that demonstrate the feasibility of such an undertaking. Provided there is a way! Of course you think anyone would be crazy to spend the rest of his life on Mars. Yet the number of people with serious interest is striking. How to survive on Mars, how colonization in his works, what does and what does insulation with man? Anyone who sacrifices himself so courageously is a hero. Do you dare?


Space Travel to Mars

A journey to Mars is feasible, albeit only one way. In a special issue of the Journal of Cosmology write the American scientists and cosmologists Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Paul Davies that the short term is a manned mission to Mars to organize. It is intended that the first astronauts to Mars permanently will settle on the Red Planet and are in life have to keep. A return is impossible for several reasons. First, it is too expensive. Thus the weight of extra fuel for the trip back extremely high. Complete and return the huge rocket must also bear a heavy, heat-resistant capsule to the atmosphere of the earth to resist. Second, the explorers to Mars by muscle wasting in space no longer used to the gravity on Earth, and thirdly it is theoretically possible that alien life forms of ‘outer space’ come back to our own planet.

Survive on Mars
The large-scale plan is not a “suicide mission” because everything is focused on survival. The exploration and colonization of Mars will have to start with some travel because unmanned supply ships and robots with a need to so – probably underground – base building. Underground include the people against the present ultraviolet radiation. Radiation, which is still unknown what the effect on humans. It also protects an underground life from meteorites that can strike. And not only that. Ijshol It would be a lava tunnel, which is to heat with a nuclear reactor and can be filled with a breathable atmosphere. For the first Martians, including at least one doctor, a really good chance to survive.

Colonization of Mars
And the only thing the Martian have to do is stay alive. One possibility is every two years following a settler to come, so that stocks has reduced the risks. The first types are the basis and starting point for further colonization, and must, among other things, with the search for life on Mars. Because it is still uncertain whether Martian life is currently, or that live in the past has been. To survive as a human being is not only material needed to build an underground base, but also sources of food, so material for agriculture. For that reason, outside plants are grown in a greenhouse, designed for extra oxygen. For the very thin atmosphere on Mars consists mainly of carbon dioxide. Colonization of the terrestrial biosphere will have to develop its own, similar to that of our planet.
