Chapter 393: A Silent New Fire Detection Window Period
The desire of humans to land on Mars did not appear in recent years, but had appeared very early.
In fact, humans have always been curious about Mars. When humans first discovered this red planet with their naked eyes, they were hoping to get on and see it.
At that time, it was still the residence of gods, gods and ancestors in the sky. Later, with the emergence of various observation equipment, people also learned more and more about it, and their curiosity about it increased.
Decades ago, people no longer fantasized about landing on Mars, but began to imagine and formulate some feasible scientific landing plans.
For example, developing a super-large rocket, sending landing personnel and equipment at one time.
Or smaller rockets transport equipment and people in batches.
In the Earth's orbit, a huge spacecraft was assembled like a space station, and sent it with people and goods.
Nuclear rockets are not missing either. They can spray on the road, which not only makes the spacecraft faster, but also reduces the large amount of chemical fuel that must be carried. That thing only increases useless mass.
What goes further than a reliable plan is science fiction works. In science fiction works, people are already fantasizing about what it looks like to live on Mars.
However, since the plan was formulated, so far, as the plan dates were exceeded, no astronauts have been seen boarding Mars.
What caused humans to fail to land on Mars?
At the beginning of the plan, many people believed that technology restricted humans.
For example, the Martian environment is far from the Earth environment. If you want to land on Mars, you need to face a series of challenges, including lack of water, lack of oxygen, high temperatures, severe cold, etc. If you are not lucky, you may encounter sandstorms.
There are few sandstorms on Mars, only twice a year, one Martian moon at one time, and one Martian sun at one time.
Well, it means that the sandstorm on Mars will scrape for half a year at a time, and Mars will take more than 600 days a year.
Ahem, this is actually a bit exaggerated, but it also shows that the sandstorms on Mars are very powerful.
There was no sandstorm that lasted for half a year, but it lasted for several months, covering half of Mars, and even sweeping the entire Mars.
So it is undoubtedly difficult and dangerous to land on Mars.
But as time goes by, human technological strength has greatly improved.
Humans can completely create closed space capsules to ensure the safety of astronauts. Water shortage can be transported from the earth, and oxygen shortage can be used to bring their own oxygen cylinders, not to mention that as long as you find a Martian ice mine with rich reserves, these can be solved on the spot.
As for the unpredictable sandstorm weather, scientists can also analyze and predict various information from the Mars rover. It can be said that there are almost no difficulties at the technical level.
In this regard, experts in Meriken's aerospace have said: "In the past few decades or even hundreds of years, people have put forward countless ideas, but all of this has not been realized. Frankly speaking, it is not technology that restricts human landing on Mars, but... political factors."
"When will humans land on Mars? Technical personnel cannot make the decision."
Political issues have always been more complex and difficult to solve. Solving this problem is equivalent to achieving world peace, so at present, this thing has no solution.
But now, landing on Mars is no longer just an internal matter for humans. It involves external factors, so we can definitely not judge based on humans' own standards.
First of all, because there are aliens on Mars, the plan for humans to land on Mars is already imperative, and you can't even land if you don't want to.
This is politically correct and urgency than the space race back then.
Now, the political matter has been resolved.
Then there is a technical issue.
In fact, there is no problem with the technology, and it will definitely be possible, but no problem is it. It also involves a layered experience of technology.
With low technology, you can spend hundreds of billions of dollars or trillions of dollars, and you can definitely send astronauts to Mars.
With higher skills, you can spend less money, hundreds of billions, or even billions.
With the emergence of a tech maniac, namely Ma Yilong and his space fork, his initial declaration was to land on Mars by manned landing on Mars and establish a Martian city. He also said that he was going to die on Mars, which led to a wave of manned landing on Mars.
As for the flight time from Earth to Mars for a few months, that's not a problem at all.
Anyway, at least some netizens seem to be a big deal. They shouted "It's okay not to come back", "I'm going to die on Mars," "I also accept one-way tickets", "It's worth going back to Mars" and other slogans, and were excitedly waiting for the execution of the manned fire mission.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking of netizens. Aerospace companies and institutions cannot choose them to go to Mars, and it is not their turn.
Landing on Mars, especially for the first time, manned landing on Mars, is a very rigorous thing. No matter how radical a person is, he will not let netizens go.
Although humans have not landed on Mars, many related experiments on the ground have been conducted, especially experiments on small spaces, multi-person groups, and long-term survival.
Basically, it is to simulate experiments that live in spacecraft and Mars bases for a long time, test people's patience and see what happens when humans survive in a small space for a long time.
A astronaut in Tianxia has participated in this type of experiment.
Two years ago, it was the day when the "Human Mars Fleet" set out, that is, the day when three unmanned Mars rovers from three countries were launched one after another.
Two years have passed, which means that in about two months, it will be another new window of Mars exploration.
Because of aliens, as the Mars exploration window approaches, people turn their attention to Mars again.
Even though Tianxia has been working hard and the construction of the Tianting Space Station has not stopped, it will become the first space station in the human world that can be seen on the ground with the naked eye. People will look up from time to time, but as time approaches, people's attention is shifting towards Mars bit by bit.
And people also found that the space powers this year were a bit strange. During the last launch of the "Human Mars Fleet", many countries announced their Mars exploration plans and later plans.
Europa's Mars rover wasn't a pigeon last time, and he said he would launch this time, but so far, there is no news, so I don't know what's wrong.
Some countries originally planned to launch a fire-bending detector at the window, but now there is no sound.
But these are not what people care about. People really want to see are Tianxia and Meriken.
In terms of plans for Mars and aliens, it is estimated that only these two countries are capable of doing something.
They now need technology, funds, military strength, and defensive countries. Who can stand up if they don’t stand up?
