The lowest energy transfer to Mars is a Hohmann transfer orbit, a conjunction class mission which would involve a roughly 9-month travel time from Earth to Mars, about 500 days (16 mo) [citation needed] at Mars to wait for the transfer window to Earth, and a travel time of about 9 months to return to Earth.
Colonization of Mars differs from the crewed Mars exploration missions currently pursued by public space agencies, as they aim to land humans for exploration. [6] [7]The terminology used to refer a potential human presence on Mars has been scrutinized since at least the 2010s, [4] with space colonization in general since the 1977, as by Carl Sagan, who preferred to refer to settlements in ...
SpaceX Mars colonization program (colloquially also referred to as Occupy Mars) [1] is a planned objective of the company SpaceX and particularly of its founder Elon Musk to colonize Mars. The main element of this ambition is the plan to establish a self-sustained large scale settlement and colony on Mars, claiming self-determination under ...
The Mars One Project is a privately-funded mission that will take 100 people to live on the Red Planet starting in 2026. One of those people is 36-year-old Sonia Van Meter who volunteered for the ...
Elon Musk set out SpaceX's timeline for getting humanity to Mars this week. He said SpaceX plans to send five Starship rockets to Mars in 2026, with crewed missions following two to four years later.
NASA is looking for applicants to live inside a simulated Martian habitat at Johnson Space Center for one year to prepare for eventual exploration of the red planet.
Studies have found that Mars, on the other hand, has vast reserves of frozen water, all of the basic elements, and more closely mimics both gravitational (roughly 1 ⁄ 3 of Earth's while the moon is 1 ⁄ 6) and illumination conditions on Earth. "It is easier to subsist, to provide the support needed for people there than on the Moon."
We are going to Mars and we're going soon, if SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has anything to do with it.
