Elon Musk Documentary 2019 SpaceX Mars Missions That Will Change Humanity Forever

Mars immensely cold, arid on an inconceivable scale and almost airless. Little evidence has been found for the existence of biological life on Mars, apart from a few well-documented robotic

missions

. Mars has been out of reach for most of the human civilization that until now is Elon Musk. has revolutionized the stagnant industry that says we can't go to a new space race that is addressing the biggest problems facing

humanity

with our possible extinction being one thing for sure Elon Musk is more than determined to colonize Mars it is an almost frantic obsession born of necessity I can't help but think: what does he know that we don't?

The spirit with which he founded SpaceX, his rocket company, embodies frustration that NASA was not doing enough to get people to the Red Planet and is deeply concerned that a backup plan for Humanity was not being implemented. It

will

not develop if the Earth becomes an uninhabitable wasteland two decades ago, the philosophy of both scientists and non-scientists would have been one. It is simply impossible today, that stagnant attitude has disappeared and no longer seems like a pipe dream. Elon Musk is trying to prove that this is not only a possibility but can be done and can be the reason for

humanity

's survival if the Apophis 2029 asteroid comes so close to Earth that there may be valid reasons in the next decade.

And this may explain the enthusiasm for Apophis, a 370-meter-diameter near-Earth asteroid that caused a sensation in 2004 because initial observations indicated a chance of up to 2.7 percent that it would hit Earth on April 13. 2029. The new concern is that this

will

be avoided, but its additional returns in 2036 and 2068 will see the inevitable. Elon Musk is putting his money where his mouth is. His mission is already moving in full swing towards his goal with regular updates to keep us all informed. Here we consider the main aspects. of their rapid plans for the colonization of Mars which, if considered, may well be the salvation of humanity.

Number one events of 2016. Elon Musk announces a mission to Mars in September 2016, in which the world began to dream of the possibility of not only visiting Mars more. frequently but inhabiting the red planet, it was in that month that Elon Musk first painted for us an image of Mars as a future human settlement. He announced his goal of making man an interplanetary species by colonizing the rusty red planet. This, according to him, is part of a grand plan to potentially save humanity from the inevitable extinction that comes with having no place but Earth to inhabit, but this was no mere dream to overcome two enormous obstacles, the financial cost and the technology to do it.

Musk detailed his plans to establish a civilization there that he thought could greatly improve. reduce the cost of this company by applying some existing technologies and others yet to be designed to achieve it. He points out that rockets can be made stronger, lighter and, most importantly, reusable, thus greatly reducing the cost of a trip to Mars, this massive new interplanetary rocket. The I TS transportation system was built to carry around 100 passengers, in addition to crew members, the rocket will be able to take off to Mars and return using applied reusable technology and should be able to take you and your fellow travelers to your destination in only three months of travel. at a speed of about nineteen thousand 14 miles per hour, after expressing the thought and letting us understand it, Elon Musk returned a year later to give us a more detailed and better polished copy of his plan to get us to Mars that he had made.

It's time to do his homework and now he had clearer ideas of how he could achieve his goal. The rocket had

change

d to the smaller and better adapted Falcon Bfr rocket, and there were now clearer plans for how this venture will be financed. Musk's follow-up in 2017. The announcement at the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia, didn't feature any radical

change

s from his original plan, but it did show us how serious he was that all he had to do was turn his space vehicle into an investment opportunity for potential SpaceX partners in this way. You would get the Martian move of your dreams and he would get the financing needed to make his dream come true.

It only remains to be seen what their level of interaction with SpaceX partners will be. NASA is one of the number two transports of choice to see and how much the affordability of the Mars mission will be. Musk's plan depended largely on the affordability of the rocket used from the beginning to transport people and cargo to the planet and was based on the fact that it could, in fact, significantly reduce the cost of interplanetary transportation by a few billion dollars to a few. Millions of dollars, the rocket chosen was initially known as the i TS interplanetary transportation system.

A view of the design updates and changes later. It transitioned from the i TS to the Mars Colonial Transporter MCR as of today, although the updated and supposedly final rocket design is the BF r. However, with SpaceX still working on its design mechanism and engineering models, we wouldn't be surprised to see this name change again in the future, but this isn't to say that nothing has been accomplished yet. SpaceX has already developed several impressive aerospace vehicles. Even as it continues to perfect its ultimate goal, the rocket spacecraft to take man to Mars, some of its impressive systems so far include the Falcon 1, space axes, the first orbital rocket, grasshopper, a self-landing mini rocket, dragon , a Falcon 9 cargo spacecraft, an orbital-class launcher that is reusable, and a Falcon heavy-lift launcher, so what exactly is the BFR?

It is a reusable rocket, which means it will be able to complete more than one orbital flight. It solves many of the problems associated with previous models without compromising its ability to meet the orbital needs of the Earth, Moon and Mars. To achieve this goal the BFR will be protected with a heat shield upon entering the Martian atmosphere at approximately 7.5 km/s the bfr is eight three hundred and seventy eight feet tall system made up of two giant parts the lower half is a huge falcon booster that serves to launch the spacecraft into space when it is done, it will then land for reuse in a moment different the top half is a large 18-story Falcon spaceship that will carry humans cargo and anything else headed to Mars in this last part our spacecraft builds the most difficult part of the system with Musk and continues to be designed and Improved by SpaceX like all previous SpaceX rocket designs, the BF R is large enough to comfortably.

With capacity for 100 passengers, it will also be used to launch space telescopes and satellites, as well as deliver cargo to the International Space Station ISS and remove space debris. At this point, the spacecraft prototype is already nearing completion of development, keeping the company on track. To meet its goals of testing the launch of the prototype spacecraft in late

2019

, target date number three for the first mission to Mars, 2022, while continuing its progress towards man's mission to Mars, SpaceX has so far remained committed to his aspirational timeline, which should see the first Mars. The mission begins in 2022. It is planned to be an unmanned and pilotless cargo mission that begins with the launch of the first large Falcon spacecraft to Martian territory.

Planets Earth and Mars approach each other once every two years, making the distance to cover much greater. less than it should be, this means that there is a window of time to get to the red planet faster in each of these cycles. According to those calculations, the best months to launch the large Falcon spacecraft will be in the summer of 2022, the ship will be launched for the first time. in Earth orbit using most of its fuel in the process, other tanker spacecraft will later be launched into space to fill the vehicle and replenish it with enough fuel to take it to Mars.

The refueling process is expected to require up to three spaceflights. flights, although there is still no certainty, the mission will be designed to address the habitation problems associated with the red planet and ensure that certain conditions are met for the first human visitors. Initial priorities will include confirming water resources, determining future landing hazards, and identifying potential threats. to human colonization SpaceX will also take advantage of this opportunity to deploy critical energy and mining infrastructure. All of this will be critical for the eventual possibility of man reaching the planet; However, it will also be dedicated to collecting the thin Martian air and converting it into available raw material. resources in methane and oxygen fuel to allow spacecraft to return to launch to Earth.

This last part is essential for the planned reuse of the BFR for more than one space trip. The goal is to complete construction of the BFR soon enough for orbital practice. Testing can begin in late

2019

. These short practice trips will help determine the suitability and robustness of the rocket and its ability to launch successfully, which will be vital for engineering. Corrections before the first mission to Mars will require practice orbits to be followed by uncrewed orbits. The first trip to the Martian territory is expected to take from a few months to almost a year before the spacecraft reaches its destination.

This places the estimated landing time between the end of 2022 and early 2023, it should be expected that at the end of this mission the Red Planet will be ready, at least to some extent, for the continued presence of man on the planet. This will be another big step in Musk's effort to make us an interplanetary species. four manned

missions

to Mars 2020 for the success of the first mission to Mars will be replaced by a piloted and manned mission in 2024 that will take the first colonists to their new home. What will they find there? They will visit the famous face of Mars.

Ultimately, this will be humanity's great leap towards the colonization of Mars or perhaps recolonization. The Cydonia region may hold the answer to our future and it will not be surprising if this region is the subject of research. However, before this trip and as a consequence of the 2022 trip. Lee BFR will launch its first manned mission, although this mission will serve to transport passengers on an estimated week-long trip around the moon, this is an important process to determine the suitability of human life on the bfr, all seats for this trip have already been paid for by japanese billionaire usako misawa, as

musk

says, he is paying a lot of money for the average citizen to travel to other planets, assuming this exploration mission is going as planned, as is the cargo and supply mission before SpaceX sends the first cruise to Mars.

It has not yet been confirmed how many people will make this trip. It is believed that the first trip will probably be an astronaut-only mission. These initial colonists will have a lot of work to do to further improve the habitability of the Red Planet upon their arrival. Responsible for building a propellant depot that will act as a refueling station for space vehicles and a preparatory station for future incoming crews, they must also build explosive domes for plant growth, as well as other fundamental elements necessary for human survival, the first ships and fuel. The plant will begin to serve as man's first Martian base.

It is from this place that any attempt to build a self-sustaining backup civilization will begin. Despite these great plans, it is understood that the first settlers will not have everything rosy in their attempts to achieve it. acclimated to a completely different reality to lighten their load the first ships are built to carry at least 100 tons of supplies these supplies will be carefully organized to exceed anything any crew might need for a year-long stay on Mars SpaceX says this will help to put aside the need for advanced technologies necessary to inhabit Mars, which are currently non-existent again.

This flight is expected to take between six and nine months before the first crewed mission reaches Mars, which will delay the possible arrival time by some time. in 2025 to eliminate the need and associated complexity to immediately begin building a habitable habitat on the planet. SpaceX's lead Mars development engineer, Paul Worcester, says the first D spacecraft will most likely serve as homes for the first members of the number five crew on Mars. For human occupation, Mars is hostile, we are not oblivious to this fact. This nearly airless rock with a super-thin atmosphere found about 140 million miles from EarthIt is currently not suitable for human life, perhaps it was in the past if there are structures there. and had a catastrophic fate, why wouldn't we want to know about this?

The air lacks sufficient oxygen and is contaminated by harmful gases and radiation. The soil is poisonous. It is currently believed that water, which is essential for human survival, is trapped beneath the planet's surface. and ice deposits are found on that surface gravity levels are only 38 percent of Earth's current gravity light levels are 59% Earth's atmospheric pressure is 100 times less than of the Earth falling below the Armstrong limit cosmic radiation levels are much higher dangerous global dust storms threaten The solar wind of life penetrates the planet due to the lack of a suitable magnetic field and there is no source of natural food, but Musk has a plan to transform the planet into an Earth-like environment.

This process known as planetary terraforming will involve deliberately transforming Mars into a planet. that sustains human life, making it habitable for men. Although it is well known that the Red Planet will have to be terraformed over time, the question of how remains a concern currently and remains an important task considering the lack of existing technologies. to terraform the planet, many of the currently proposed terraforming concepts are prohibitive in nature, either economically or in terms of natural resource costs; For example, temperature changes may only be possible through a greenhouse-induced warming process, which will involve an increase in atmospheric CO2 which will then force an increase in atmospheric water vapor with Mars unable to retain enough CO2 to warm it, this seems to be impossible at this stage.

Musk has suggested doing the unthinkable with the planet's poles to release water trapped beneath the surface. Many want to believe this. It was probably a joke considering the catastrophic effects of this action on any life forms currently existing on the planet, although that plan may be flawed. Musk has yet to categorically state that this will, in fact, be SpaceX's approach to Martian terraforming, whatever the case may be. The closest planet in terms of environment and relative proximity to Earth, it is believed to have once had an Earth-like environment in its early history with a much denser atmosphere and running water.

Many have claimed that the site in the Dona region and its monuments was a beachfront property in one While these rivers have been lost over time, there is always the possibility that they could be induced to return if gases can be induced concentrated greenhouse gases, these could increase their atmospheric pressure, which will support the presence of flowing surface water, although it poses great challenges. Mars remains theoretically terraformable, and as far as we know, we must continue to work to identify the best path toward this goal number six: First a lunar base will be established, the directive I am signing today will refocus the United States space program on exploration and human discovery, President Trump said during the The signing of a new NASA directive forcing the space agency to refocus its efforts on the Moon in December 2017, he continued, marks a first step toward returning American astronauts to the Moon for the first time since 1972 for long-term exploration and use.

Not only will we plant our flag and leave our footprints, we will establish a foundation for an eventual mission to Mars and perhaps one day many worlds beyond. NASA management is willing to send American astronauts back to our planets, just orbiting the Moon's satellite once again. It will be the first time American astronauts have landed on the orbiting satellite since the last of six manned missions to the moons that culminated in the 1972 mission. The idea is that it will give the foundation a necessary base for further lunar exploration and planetary. President Donald Trump signed the new NASA directive forcing the space agency to refocus its efforts on the moon.

Barack Obama had given an epic speech and Elon Musk had already set in motion provoking American presidents to get involved. The SpaceX CEO may be a big dreamer. But if he has shown us anything so far, it is that he is not afraid to turn his big dreams into masterful realities. One day we may be able to see the pyramids of Cydonia up close. Musk's response to that NASA directive was simple. It is time for humanity to go further. On Earth, we should already have a lunar base. The SpaceX CEO first made public his clear plans to establish a lunar base soon in September 2017 during the IACC International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia.

This was announced at the same Congress in which he announced the development of a new rocket, the VFR, smaller and better, noting that the multipurpose nature of the VFR gives it an advantage, since it can perform all tasks related to the space, from launching satellites to servicing the space station, delivering crew and cargo to the ISS and undertaking voyages. to Mars or the Moon, then he pointed out that this will allow the creation of a lunar base, as he pointed out during that moving presentation at the IAC. Musk's plan is already underway. The BFRs. Reusable nature and super technologies ensure that it can reach the Moon. and while he hasn't yet told us any plans to establish a solid base there, he clearly has plans to send space tourists to the Moon and back once the BFR is fully operational.

Number seven, the colonization of Mars will cost a fortune that does not cost. You have to be a rocket scientist to find out how much the planned colonization of Mars will cost. Space acts and potential future travelers must be prepared to fund this trip or there won't be one, according to Musk's estimates when he announced his 2016 plan to land man on the planet. Red Planet will hypothetically cost you $10 billion for a one-way ticket to Mars. Certainly no one will pay that much to visit a barely habitable planet. Musk plans to cut costs, but he still estimates the BFRO will cost SpaceX about $10 billion to develop.

While this number cannot be reduced, the plan is to reduce the individual cost of going to Mars, announcing the BFR and SpaceX's other interplanetary spacecraft and rockets before it arrived with the announcement that it will be large enough to transport it. to 100 people at a time, considering the most people ever sent to space at once is eight, this sounds like a big win, but that's not the best part because the bfr will be designed to be reusable on multiple trips and , eventually putting pressure on the pockets of individual travelers may be reduced to between $100,000 and $200,000 per ticket, according to their estimates.

Still, establishing a full-fledged, self-sufficient civilization on Mars will require multiple trips to and from the planet. The planet must be equipped with critical infrastructure and technologies. Flights will be needed before the planet can have all the equipment and supplies it needs to support human life, so even if rocket costs are set at a few hundred thousand dollars per ticket due to its life cycle and with improved and cheaper technology, much more funding will be needed. The planet still needs terraforming if we want life to be sustained in the long term and we still have no idea what means of terraforming will be adopted.

There is still no estimate of the cost of that undertaking. The economic viability of this plan is still debatable, no matter how many. I agree that this is the next step in human advancement and very importantly, the fact that everything needed to run a human colony on the planet will be supplied from Earth makes it more difficult, but Musk once again has a plan from the first moment. The ship must begin to look for ways to obtain fuel from the planet, if that is achieved and water extraction is possible in a short time then the cost of sustaining life on the planet may be much lower in the long term, for now we must continue looking for partnerships. and potentially a public-private partnership that will make financing much more bearable over time.

Number eight, we know it's possible because it's already started, we may still be in the planning stages of the entire Mars mission, but great progress is already being made and we're already starting to see some incredible things. One such experience involved watching Elon Musk and SpaceX launch the Falcon Heavy rocket into space in February 2018, but this unmanned rocket was not completely empty. SpaceX launched the Falcon Heavy with Musk's former personal Tesla as its primary. The Tesla's occupant was equipped with a dummy controller that looks like an astronaut codenamed Star Man, as well as an attached camera to help keep it in view for as long as possible.

The Falcon Heavy was intended to fire beyond Earth's orbit and into Martian orbit, unfortunately it overshot its target and is currently on its own trajectory orbiting the Sun. As of this moment, the bright red Tesla and the Starman, the driver who launched the first mission of SpaceX's Falcon heavy rocket, have reached beyond Mars. Its unique orbit is such that it forms a loop. Orbiting Mars in two different locations while also spending some time in Earth orbit getting as close to the Sun as possible, given the inherent risks associated with maiden flights launching a valuable spacecraft or satellite, wasn't exactly an option. option with the Falcon Heavy, according to Musk, he was also not ready to fill his historic rocket with the typical inert mass payload, hence the decision to pair his personal Tesla Roadster with star men because the duo is much more fun, although the roadster is currently not on the exact trajectory that is set.

This certainly helps SpaceX move forward with their plans, on the one hand they have been able to test their new rocket technology to identify any issues in the design and structural integrity, on the other hand they will be able to review their flight information. to see where they somehow went wrong with the travel trajectory, the lessons from this flight will surely help SpaceX in their current build of the bfr. The goal remains to have the BFR prototype ready for short flights into space and return soon in 2019. What we have already witnessed, we certainly can't bet on more wonders to come at number nine.

What can we expect? Elon Musk's big dreams aren't just limited to establishing a lunar outpost and colonizing Mars, as is always the case with the SpaceX CEO. He continues to look for possible ways his new technology could be applied even here on Earth to make human life easier. One such way he has identified is the use of the BFR for global transportation. Yeah, you heard that, doesn't he just want to build? A reusable rocket for interplanetary transportation Musk believes that this rocket will also become an essential element in daily transportation around the Earth; It will be faster than any current means of transportation and can take you from one end of the world to the other in just over half an hour.

In one hour, the BFR will first shoot beyond Earth's atmosphere and into space before making the trip to your location and to the landing pad, according to Musk, this trip will be smooth as silk, without air turbulence, bad weather or friction, well, we are still there. For clear details on how this will work and the costs associated with it, we can't help but think about how revolutionary this idea is. Imagine you can take the eight-hour flight from Paris to New York in just 30 minutes from New York to London. in 29 minutes New York to Shanghai in 30 minutes Sydney to Zurich in 50 minutes, as it should be wisely pointed out, if we are building this to go to the Moon and Mars, why not also go to other places on Earth and if we can go ? to Mars or establish an outpost on the Moon, which will prevent us from going even further.

After all, Musk's dream is to make us an interplanetary species capable of traveling from planet to planet for now, although all we can do is sit and wait while Moscone has a 7,000-strong workforce continuing its efforts to get us to the next level of human evolution. The ten potential health dangers still abound in one of his presentations at the IAC, Elon Musk noted that those who are willing to take risks are all those who are not afraid. dying will be the best candidates for their Mars mission program well, it might have seemed sarcastic, it was certainly a fair disclaimer, we are all aware that the Red Planet is toxic to humans, although it may look a bit like Earth . and Composition, is far from something you've ever had to live with;

In fact, just going into space exposes you to certain life-threatening dangers before you have to.deal with the present toxic atmosphere and Mars, those who decide to go to Mars will face. high levels of radiation that could cause sometimes irreparable damage to the lungs, eyes, cognitive ability or even cause cancer. Earth's gravity is also significantly higher than anything you face. There is limited gravity in space known simply as microgravity when you eventually reach Mars, you will also have to deal with only 1/3 of the gravity you fight on Earth, this means your muscles will have a lot less work to do while you float in space, the result is that your muscles will weaken. maybe you will even atrophy and suffer a lot of bone loss, speaking of which, your heart won't function as much in space as it does on Earth, this could lead to a decrease in the size of your heart over time, but that's not all.

Astronauts are known to have to deal with changes to their immune system resulting from their prolonged stay in space, which increases their chances of getting sick; Likewise, simple illnesses could easily become deadly in a zero-gravity environment, but the risk also goes the other way. It has not yet been confirmed whether any life forms exist on the Red Planet, if so, how do they survive? More importantly, how will human colonization of the planet affect these life forms as we continue to move toward interplanetary nature? These are questions we must answer. Imagine finding yourself far above the surface of Mother Earth and far beyond our thick blue atmosphere.

Imagine looking down and seeing for yourself that the Earth is nothing more than a small blue speck in empty blackness. How glorious do you think the experience of the feeling of tranquility will be! and the euphoria that follows will be nothing short of majestic. Now take your imagination a step further and imagine feeling the sharp crystallized sand of the Red Planet. A step too far if we are to believe Mosque in all his plans, it is certainly not this SpaceX. The CEO may have a reputation for not always meeting proposed schedules, but he hardly has a reputation for failure.

If you want to be part of those who will make their Martian dreams come true with them, it is high time you start saving for most of life. altering human endeavor ever
