SpaceX, despite some rece problems and the explosion of the Strapping missiles one after another, still was to go to Mars with its gia vehicle next year, but Ilan Musk considers the possibility of such a trip to be 2 %.
According to RCO News Agency, Ilan Musk has recely talked about SpaceX programs to help humanity lived on the Red Planet.
According to Space, Mask, in its 5 -minute release released by SpaceX on Thursday (May 6), said that progress is measured by the timing of a self -sufficie civilization on Mars.
The huge Strait Rocket consists of two elemes, both designed for complete and rapid reuse. A propulsion called Super Hui and a 2 -foot (2 meters) upper step known as Strait or Ship.
Strapping has a test flight, the most rece of which was launched on Tuesday (May 9). The spacecraft came io space on that mission, but shortly thereafter, it appears to have suffered an abnormal due to fuel leakage. The SpaceX lost the spacecraft corol, and the missile crashed over the Indian Ocean in an uncorolled arrival.
The spacecraft also had more serious problems in flights 1 and 2, which were launched in January and March of this year, respectively. In both cases, the spacecraft exploded less than 5 minutes after the flight, and their remnas raised on the Atlaic Ocean.
Mask, after flying on Tuesday, poied to the improved performance of the spacecraft compared to the previous two launches, stressing that the company has a lot of data for future analysis.
“Every launch is needed about learning more and more about what to create a multi -planetary life and improving Strait, as long as he can eveually bring hundreds of thousands to Mars,” he says.
Stranger is the largest and most powerful missile ever made; The curre version is about 2 feet (2 meters) height. But if everything goes through the program, it will be even bigger in the coming years.
The next version of the vehicle, known as Version 2, will be fully accumulated by 2 feet (1.5 meters). This is the same type that is expected to be able to fly to Mars and help it resideial. Mask said the missile would be reliable and quickly reusable, and the upper step will be re -refueling in the Earth’s orbit, which is an esseial capability to travel deep io the space, because the launch of all the necessary fuel inside the missile will leave a little space for useful loads such as people and habitat modules.
Version 2 will probably fly soon. “We’re going to throw it for the first time at the end of this year,” says Musk. He added that if everything goes well, Strong can move to Mars just a year or more.
The Red and Earth are only in the same direction once every six mohs for ier -planetary missions. The next opportunity arrives in November and December 2, and SpaceX will try to achieve it. Mask said the goal is to send five strategic spacecraft to the Red Planet to test this spacecraft and related technology.
These will be the first Mars spacecraft. Super Hui will return to the ground a little after the throw for inspection and re -flight. These spacecraft will be unmanned, but they will carry some of the ahropological robots made by Tesla, the carmaker, which is led by the Mask.
Watching Optimus’ walk on Mars will be an epic image, Mask says.
However, it is unclear when we will receive these images, as it will be difficult to reach the goal of the launch in year 6. According to Musk, the biggest obstacle would be to mastered the refueling out of the ground for the spacecraft.
“If we are lucky, we will try to take this opportunity,” Musk added. I think we probably have a chance of 1/2 right now.
If Strapping really flies to Mars in year 2, SpaceX will increase its ambition and activity, sending about 2 spacecraft to the Red Planet between the ages of 1 and 2 and may be prese on these flights.
“Assuming that the first missions are successful and successfully descend, we send humans to the next mission and we really start building infrastructure for Mars,” says Musk.
SpaceX has been investigating possible places to build Mars. The right place should be relatively far away from the frozen poles of Mars, access water and relatively flat to facilitate landing and safe launch of missiles.
According to Musk, the main candidate is currely a volcanic plain in the northern hemisphere of the Red Planet.
The next launch window will be in year 2.
The ultimate goal is a self -sufficie city on Mars that will be able to survive even if it is somehow separated from our civilization on earth. Such a city will probably have a population of more than one million and needs to carry millions of tonnes deep.
In terms of mask, such a city will be built and served with the help of Straiter.
