The Physics That Makes Interstellar Travel IMPOSSIBLE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHTYiVFe7mI

It isn't about technology; it's about the fundamental structure of reality. From the tyranny of the Rocket Equation to the crushing silence of the Cosmic Haystack, we break down exactly why UFOs are likely not what you think they are, and why the silence of the universe is actually a beautiful thing. This is not just a theory; it is a deep dive into the hard science of General Relativity, Thermodynamics, and Evolutionary Biology.

    NASA supercomputers calculated when life will end on Earth. Here’s our deadline

In collaboration with a Japanese university, NASA researchers used supercomputers to predict when life will no longer be possible on Earth.

Others, meanwhile, are even looking to other planets in our solar system. Plans for long-term space colonization, including the Mars missions led by NASA and SpaceX, are being explored as potential strategies for sustaining human life once Earth itself becomes uninhabitable.

++++++++++++

Why do they continue to repeat such nonsense about colonizing Mars because planet earth can't sustain human life?

Because it sells stuff!

Elon Musk reveals latest plans to colonize Mars

The King of charlatanism trying to sell us on an impossible fairy tale.

My dislike for Musk has increased steadily since he took over Twitter and made his fairy tale claims that he will have 5 million people living on Mars.

And one of his reasons for humans colonizing Mars is because we need a place to go because we are destroying  this planet. This is beyond being laughable. 

The environment on Mars is 10 times worse than the worst spot on planet earth. 

Even Antarctica in the middle of Winter has oxygen and water(frozen).

There is no atmosphere, no soil, no water.

The temperature extremes by themselves would make life impossible except inside of an extremely expensive space suit.

No atmosphere means dangerous radiation exposure. 

It's complete idiocy to do anything other than to have a mission or 2 with a very small number of humans landing, then returning.

Chance of us ever colonizing Mars with 5 million people?

0.00000000000%  It's totally impossible.

Chance of him ever having more than a few flights with maybe a few dozen people is near 0.

The fact that he keeps pushing this, for years now proves that he is not a credible person. 

When you can prove indisputably how blatantly fraudulent a person is in a key area of their life, you can't trust them in the other areas.

‘Hardcore’: The Mars of Elon Musk


Twitter CEO’s next big goal is to build a city on Mars. So what exactly might a Muskian Mars-scape look like?

https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/12/5/hardcore-the-mars-of-elon-musk

As Musk told Time magazine, which shamelessly crowned him “Person of the Year” in 2021, the “next really big thing is to build a self-sustaining city on Mars and bring the animals and creatures of Earth there”. According to Time’s obsequious writeup, Musk predicted colonising Mars within five years. Eventually, rocket ships would shuttle 100 people at a time to the Red Planet and then travel back to Earth, powered by Made-in-Mars fuel.

+++++++++

The media is clearly after ratings and attention in publishing anything this stupid.

There is no atmosphere, nor can you create one. The soil is very toxic.

The temperature extremes impossible to survive except in an insulated space suit that would cost millions/person.

The cost of 1 trip, including the fuel? a billion dollars?

The chance of his vision happening?

Less than the sun exploding.

VERY MUCH less than a large asteroid hitting the earth and wiping out much of life. 

The difference between those 2 things and Musk's science fiction is that they both WILL happen at some point in the distant future.

There will never be humans colonizing Mars because it's scientifically impossible for a myriad of reasons.

This tells us everything that we need to know about the diabolically brilliant, manipulating mind of  the charismatic and rich/powerful Elon Musk.

is there a helicopter on mars - Google Search

helicopter cannot fly without air

            Thanks for catching that one cutworm, sorry about that!

I meant to say no atmosphere that would support life.

Its 95% CO2 with very little oxygen or H2O.

animals would need to bring their own air or invent a technology which broke up the CO2 into Solid carbon and O2 gas.

such a technology, utilized on a large scale would solve the fake climate crisis wouldn’t it.

nothing can be done to change the toxic soil.

How Will NASA Explore Mars in the Future?

NASA's ultimate goal is to send humans to explore the Red Planet. But first, the space agency plans to send more robots. The Perseverance rover carried a small helicopter and landed on Feb. 18, 2021. Perseverance has a tool that will try making oxygen like a tree does. It will inhale some of the large amounts carbon dioxide on Mars and exhale oxygen. This kind of tool could help to prepare for when humans first visit the planet. Astronauts will need oxygen for breathing and for fuel. A small helicopter named Ingenuity will disconnect from the rover and see if it can fly by itself on Mars. If it works, NASA could build other helicopters like it to help explore Mars or other planets.

How ironic is it that a fake climate crisis solution would result from people fleeing a planet with 418 parts per million of CO2 to a planet  with 950,000 parts per million of CO2(more than 2,000 times higher)!

Science fiction!

Exploration?

Yes. 

Colonizing Mars?

You can make up science fiction stories but the real world follows laws of science/biology, physics and energy. In 2023, the science fiction stories and promises trump real world laws when powerful,  convincing sounding, self serving charlatans get control. 


Sadly, many people can't tell the difference.........which is why the charlatans have so much control in our world.

Earth Soil vs. Lunar Regolith: What’s the Difference?

https://science.nasa.gov/biological-physical/earth-soil-vs-lunar-regolith-whats-the-difference/

Many of the processes that lead to the formation of the soil that covers Earth are well understood. Lunar regolith that covers the Moon’s surface, on the other hand, still holds many mysteries. Here’s how Earth’s soil and lunar regolith are different, and how further studies of lunar regolith can benefit NASA’s Artemis missions and beyond.
