Mariner 4 was the first spacecraft to flyby Mars and the first craft to transmit images of another planet back to Earth

Image
    Credits: NASA Mariner 4 was the first spacecraft to fly over Mars and the first to take detailed images of the red planet. The blurry images of craters and bare ground led scientists to believe that Mars looks a lot like the Moon. The photos also immediately made it clear that Mars is not a place for life. Despite this, NASA sent new scouts to Mars because Mariner 4 had only been able to photograph a small portion of the surface. Subsequent missions showed that Mars is very different from the Moon, that there is an active weather system on Mars, and that the planet has been much wetter in the distant past. March for Mariner's Visit 4 It's hard to say when the discussions about life on Mars got serious, but it must have been sometime in the late 1800s/early twentieth century when new observations by astronomers sparked a sharp rise in interest in the planet. American astronomer Percival Lowell studied the planet from his observatory in Flagstaff for years. He made drawings ...

In 2024, SpaceX will launch the first uncrewed Starship to Mars to mark the beginning of Mars Colonization.

Image
The essence of this uncrew mission is to prepare for the first human mission to Mars in 2026.  Tesla humanoid bots will travel alongside this uncrewed Starship to setup the Martian base for Martian Astronauts.  The uncrewed Starship will also deliver life support systems for future usage.  These life support systems will include oxygen, water, solar panels, domes, 3D printer, waste management systems, spacesuits, and many others. Once this mission becomes successful, SpaceX can proudly send humans to Mars with  the hope of achieving a great success from this mission. If given the opportunity, can you participate in the first human mission to Mars?  

1000 Starship fleet - Elon's Spacex goal for 2050!!

Image
Elon Musk, known for projects such as SpaceX and Tesla, is officially shining a light on our future with his crazy projects and exciting plans. He does it the fun way most of the time, and he never tires us out. Elon Musk's craziest plan today could be  to send humans to Mars to  start colonizing the red planet. Here's Elon Musk answering a question from a user on Twitter, while also confirming the number of people who can be sent to Mars. 1 million people could be sent to Mars by 2050: Elon Musk tweeted on January 17th that it takes more  megatons  per year for humans to transition to multiplanetary life. Elon's followers then asked how many flights SpaceX planned to perform per day. Elon answered that question. Elon Musk said the design goal of the Starship was to make  three flights a day . But what really excited me wasn't an account or two that Elon did, it was an account his follower did. According to the account of Musk's follower, three flights a day mea...

Asteroid Showers On Mars: Asteroid Showers On Mars For Millions Of Years! This big disclosure in research.

Scientists have made a big disclosure about Mars in new research. New research has shown that there were asteroid showers on Mars for 600 million years. Scientists say that after this discovery, there is a need to study again about the origin of Mars. Scientists from Australia's Curtin University have done this new research. He challenges the earlier study. According to this research, due to the continuous rain of asteroids, so many craters are visible on Mars. Usually, the age of the planet is known only after scientific calculations of the craters located on the surface. If more pits are seen on a planet, then the exact information about its age can be ascertained.     Asteroid rained on Mars for 600 million years - Photo : Twitter @SPACEdotcom Scientists have concluded after investigation that the...

What is Mars?

Image
  Mars is a planet in the solar system. It is the 4th planet from the Sun, at a distance of about 228 million kilometers, and it is smaller than Earth, only about 6800 kilometers in diameter at the equator. The Martian day is only slightly longer than a day on Earth, but its orbital year is about 780 Earth days (2.1 Earth years). The planet appears red, because its surface is highly oxidized. The atmosphere there is mostly carbon dioxide (96%) and only about 8% as dense as Earth's. The gravity on the Martian surface is only a little more than a third of Earth's (.376  g )

A Martian colony can perform various functions. It can serve as a research outpost, a mining colony, or even a second home for earthlings if something goes wrong on our own planet. But beyond that, Mars could be a source of one of the most potentially valuable elements in the space economy, hydrogen. A new paper published by a group led by Dr. Mikhail Shubov from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, USA, discusses just such a possibility. Hydrogen has many different uses, from forming water molecules to being used as a component in rocket fuel. The problem is that in the inner part of the solar system, access to hydrogen is very limited. Huge reserves of hydrogen are contained in the matter of Jupiter and the Sun, but extracting it from these giant "gravity wells" is technologically impractical. Smaller celestial bodies, such as asteroids, have some water that can be used as a source of hydrogen, but these reserves are not enough to meet the needs of this element throug...
