Dreams come true! In preparation for immigration to Mars, Starship will build a city on Mars within 20 years

"I want this for my 50th birthday: a Starship heavy-duty thruster," Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk replied.

As the initiator of the "Mars Immigration Plan", Musk's biggest wish is to realize this plan. On August 6, a 120-meter-high "Starship" spacecraft appeared in front of the public for the first time. It is currently the tallest rocket in the world and is currently undergoing various tests to lay the foundation for its first flight.

The total height of the rocket reached 145 meters

The "Starship" stands on the launch pad, and its overwhelming height is truly shocking!

Mars is the planet closest to the Earth. Its distance from the Earth is generally between 55.7 and 120 million kilometers. In ancient China, it was also called "Yinghuo" because the brightness of Mars was often unpredictable. In ancient Roman mythology, it was imagined as the invincible "Mars", which is also the origin of the English name Mars.

Mars has many conditions suitable for human habitation. There are volcanic ash and green clay, which can allow plants to grow. There is also enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. There are oxidizing substances such as iron oxide everywhere, which can further reduce oxygen. Not only that, there are also abundant energy sources; wind energy, thermal energy, etc. are much more abundant than on Earth.

At present, according to this information, it is not enough to prove that Mars is suitable for human habitation, but NASA's Mars plan is already being gradually implemented, and the White House's plan is to land on Mars in 2030. These bold plans have taken human migration to Mars a step forward.

Musk's Operational Plan for Immigrating to Mars

Before this world's tallest rocket, Musk grandly introduced the Interstellar Transport System (ITS) plan required for the Mars immigration plan at the 67th International Astronautical Congress held in Mexico on September 17, 2016. He said that the cost of using the ITS rocket to bring a person to Mars can be controlled within 200,000 US dollars, and flights to Mars will be established.

Because this plan is much cheaper than traditional plans, and it is also the first Mars immigration plan proposed by a private rocket company, the plan has been enthusiastically sought after by many Mars immigration enthusiasts and engineers and scientists around the world as soon as it was released.

At the 68th International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia, Musk gave a speech on the theme of "Becoming an Interstellar Species", detailing the plan after humans land on Mars. He promised to achieve at least two spacecraft landings on Mars before 2022, and to achieve cargo ships + people by 2024. He also envisioned spacecraft dedicated to transporting supplies and manned spacecraft, and gradually realized the dream of building a city on Mars!

After experiencing failures and explosions again and again, SpaceX did not give up. Finally, on May 6, 2021, the prototype Starship SN15 ignited and rose to an altitude of 10 kilometers and completed a series of complex actions. It can be said that Musk's plan to migrate to Mars is the most likely plan to be realized at present!

Mars Immigration Plan: Building a City on Mars in 20 Years

Many people do not believe in Musk's crazy plan. Experts once predicted that it would take at least 1,000 years for humans to live on Mars, so Musk's efficient construction of spacecraft in a short period of time is incredible to many people, not to mention the idea of ​​building a city on Mars within 20 years.

But Musk is definitely not just talking, the success of the integration of the Starship and the booster shows the feasibility of this plan. Even more exciting is that on August 2 this year, the 29 Raptor engines on the Starship Super Heavy booster were successfully installed in just 14 hours! This shows how strong Musk's execution and teamwork are, right?

It is precisely because SpaceX has this spirit of never giving up that it has been recognized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and signed a contract with the agency to become the exclusive developer of the lunar module.

It also stated that the Starship will carry out its first verification mission as early as 2024. Musk's ultimate goal is to build a self-sufficient city on Mars within 20 years, so 100 Starships need to be manufactured every year, and 1,000 within 10 years. Does this still sound incredible? But with such efficient organization and action, it seems to be possible!

Musk is not only successful in the Mars immigration plan, he is also the CEO of Tesla. When Musk came into contact with cars, he derived the idea of ​​"brain-computer interface". He wanted to create a chip that is not afraid of time and inject it into the human brain in the limited life of human beings, so as to achieve the effect of immortality. However, many scientists disagree with Musk and think that this technology is not mature enough and there is still a long way to go to achieve immortality.

On the other hand, research that can extend the body's survival has been proven first. Genetics PhD Sinclair published a paper in Cell that WLAND can delay the aging of old mice. Although this experiment lacks human trials, Sinclair's laboratory is full of calls from Silicon Valley tycoons and wealthy people asking for products.

Since then, the team of the University of Tokyo in Japan has proved that WLAND substances can significantly improve hearing ability, sleep quality and skeletal muscle mitochondria after acting on middle-aged and elderly volunteers. The biological enterprise (Lightway Health) WLAND is the relevant implementation result. If you search, you can find that it has more than 10,000 reviews on Yidong.

Musk is 50 years old this year. If he wants to see the success of the Mars immigration plan in 20 years, he will need to rely on the material (Lightway) WLAND to a large extent. After all, in 20 years, Musk will be 70 years old. Whether he can greet this moment in a young state will definitely require the blessing of WLAND.

Finally, Musk’s plan to migrate to Mars gives us endless room for imagination. Perhaps in the future, when the Earth is no longer suitable for human survival, Mars may be our another “home”. What do you think?
