What Will SpaceX Do When They Get To Mars?

From how they would even get there, to what the steps would be to make a full colony, join me as I reveal to you what SpaceX would do if they were to get to Mars! ►VANTAGE FILMS◄ Full project : After reading Elon Musk’s biography by Ashlee Vance and seeing the Mars Travel posters we were really inspired. We fell in love with the retro futuristic Mars landscapes depicted in the posters and decided to bring them to life. Our challenge was to create a storyline that could compliment the style of the posters yet be interesting, unexpected and fun. Currently, we continue to follow our passion of making artwork dedicated to the future of technology and space exploration. We hope that with our animation we will get SpaceX and Elon to create some new posters and one day invite us on a trip to Mars!

They have a plan to do it, and it’s quite detailed, but there are some questions you no doubt have. Such will we get there? That is the question, isn’t it? After all, if traveling to Mars was would’ve done it by now. When in fact, traveling to Mars is rather hard its best days. While Earth and Mars are technically “neighbors“, their distances apart is anywhere from 225-401 million kilometers away. It just depends on the day and part of the year they are in their orbits around the sun (as they move at different speeds around the star and have quite a distance between them). Because of this distance, if you convert the Mars distance to miles, you’ll see that to travel to the Sun is actually 2.5 times easier than it would be to travel to Mars in terms of distances. Comparing Mars travel to the moon travel, that’s 986 times farther. That’s quite a distance, and with our current technology, that travel would be on the verge a year give or take depending on how big the ship is, the passengers, weight, and more. If you’re a movie buff, you’ll be reminded of the film The Martian, where an astronaut is left on the planet and his friends have to travel from Earth to Mars to get him. It took a very long time. AND, their ship was specially built to make that trip. At present, humanity has only built probes and satellites and rovers that have gone to Mars. However, that is changing, and changing quickly. The SpaceX program is preparing their own colonization of Mars, and to start this off, they’re sending cargo ships to the red planet via their Big Falcon Rocket. They’re truly preparing this right now, and aim to launch the first of these “cargo ships“ in 2022. And once those touchdown, they’ll send out the first wave of colonists in 2024. If you’re wondering what will be on these “cargo ships“, that’s very easy. To help speed up the process of both landing on Mars and setting up the first Martian base, SpaceX will use their BRF ships to go and place food, energy supplies, mining and building equipment, and more on the planet. That way, once the astronauts get off the ship and make sure that everything is ok, they can get to work setting everything up. Now, obviously, since it’s still 2020 at present, that mean things could change, and the technology could hit a breakthrough that allows them to get to Mars even faster. Or set things up even quicker in terms of the base. But the point we need to make here is that these BFRs are the best chance we have of getting Mars at a good period of time with people on them. And once that happens, the colonization can begin. Once you get over the question of, “How do we land on Mars?“, the next question that needs to be asked is, “Where do we land on Mars?“ After all, landing at a key position, one that can help sustain the life of the colonists, is vital. #InsaneCuriosity#SpaceX #MarsEverythingAbout
