1 million people need, in the future, on Mars to go live, as well as the to Elon Musk. Also the Nederander Bas Lansdorp wants with his project Mars One to the planet, but his plans are slightly less ambitious.
Mars One is a Dutch foundation with a ruimtekolonie want to settle on Mars. In 2026, the first team of four carefully selected people and the planet. “We are very ambitious. But Musk’s ambitions are almost impossible”, says Lansdorp.
That ambitions of American Musk are the following: he wants his company, SpaceX, a transportation system build to allow people to Mars could be transported. In the long term should there be 1 million people that way, in 2022 what Musk terms of the first hundred. Ambitious so, according to Lansdorp even hard to do.
However, he hopes that it will succeed. “It is for Mars One is very relevant that a major incumbent party as SpaceX, says: ‘this may just be and we’re going to build’. That contributes to our mission and brings us a step closer,” says the Mars One-the author.
Train tracks and train
Run SpaceX and Mars One, the other will not get in the way? “We are not competitors. SpaceX wants the transport system to build. The train tracks and the train. The rest is in others, governments, individuals, we are,” explained Lansdorp. “Already, we can build anything, but we buy everything. We are not aerospacebedrijf.”
Mars One sends will in the first instance, four people on a one-way ticket to Mars. A one-way ticket, because people have a need for this discovery prepared no more to earth return. The same wants, Musk also. Eventually, he wants to be in the long term, 1 million people to the red planet send.
No invasion
1 million people, is it not too much? “I don’t think so. As there are so many people, then you can be independent of the earth survive on Mars. On the first mission to go on until there are 100.” An invasion of Mars will not happen.
Ambitious, but achievable, and Perform the plan of Musk. Just like Mars One. For that project, Lansdorp working to get the funding to get around. Only then, they talk about missiles, with perhaps Musk. “Without the money that talks not yet useful.”
Money, money, money
Next year they hope to Lansdorp with Mars One to begin training of the teams, of which there is one about ten years to the planet may travel. “But also that training depends on funding.”
As the financing, transportation, and the teams are arranged, there is one important question: if you were on Mars, what then? How do you survive? “We need to be a habitable outpost building, so that people know that they can survive.” That outpost needs 250 square metres of living space offer, on which also food needs to be grown. “It is hard, but that’s part of it.”
Technology
That funding is to Musk, but around to get. Dutch students, in space technology at TU Delft saw a livestream how Musk his big plans announced. “Technically, it is all achievable. That technology is already invented and works,” says Jeroen Wink, one of the students. “We are really curious how he is going to fund. 10 billion he needed, that is quite a lot.”
Or the Musk in a few years succeed, doubts Wink. “He is known for his visionary plans, which he does quickly. Look at the electric car. But if this is going to happen?”
