Landing on Mars over the next 20-30 years will be difficult, says the head of ESA

The landing on Mars over the next 20-30 years is hardly possible, leads TASS words of the head of the European Space Agency (ESA), Jan Wörner.

In December, Donald Trump signed guidelines for space exploration. In the medium term, the United States will again send astronauts to the moon and thus lay the foundation for the realization of more long-term plans - a trip to Mars.

In ESA, such plans are generally feasible, but, in their opinion, this will take much longer. According to Wörner, “even under the condition that the flight program to the Earth satellite will have unlimited funding, it will not be possible to land there before 2025”.

At the same time, ESA is ready to participate in the project.

I can imagine that a European astronaut will participate in it,

said Wörner, noting that "as a barter for a flight to the moon, Europe could offer Americans technology."

He considers sending a manned mission to Mars to be an even more long-term goal.

With mars story such that it is possible to hold discussions about it, however in the next 20-30 years it will be hard to realize the goal,

said the head of the agency.

As the main obstacles on the way to the planet, he called, “firstly, the lack of appropriate technologies, and secondly, the issues of moral ethics and responsibility”.

It is hard to imagine that you are sending a person on a journey of two years long without the possibility of going back. When flying to Mars, you can’t just go and turn around, at least with our current technology,

noted Worner.

The agency recalls that the Americans are planning to create a manned station in the orbit of the moon, to use it as a reference point, including for flights to Mars. The plans are also to create a base on the lunar surface. The relevant directive Trump signed on December 11 2017 of the year. The time and financial framework was not indicated.

The question is different, why push enormous funds into the organization of such a flight. When the same automatic stations will make it possible to get no less (and maybe even more scientific data.

If you are going to defend yourself against corpuscular radiation - the nuclei of atoms that have collapsed as a result of nuclear processes - then the magnetic field will theoretically protect. The energy needed is colossal. No Dnieper plants are enough.
But this is a waste. Radiation from the Center of the Galaxy is not a corpuscle, but a wave. X-ray and gamma. And they are practically not deflected by magnetic fields.

[Mestny]

Thanks for the clarification. I am not an expert in this area, I just ask.
I thought - well, in near-Earth space we are somehow protected from all this, probably the Earth’s magnetic field. So I suggested, since the intensity of this field is approximately 0,5 E, that is, 40 A / m

It seems to me that the size of the magnet is of great importance.
Similar tension is easily achieved in the laboratory. But with such volumes that distance meters, beyond which the Oersteds fade to minuscule amounts, it is impossible to slow down or reject. A thousand kilometers is the place to deflect charged particles. Van Allen Belt. And the outer belt is 20000 km high. Here, any inertia will not help. To simulate such power for humans is not given.

In lead underpants, it’s hard to move and lead through the skin will enter the bloodstream, poisoning the entire body, including the “egg”. Given that time changes in outer space in different ways, then upon the return of the subject from a space mission, the said bodies will prove to be unnecessary on Earth either by their owner or other members of the terrestrial society of the opposite sex. By the way, they will not interfere in dancing with any Martian! Therefore, it is advisable for deep space fans to quickly remove unnecessary organs before flying.

The radiation intensity of the Galaxy is hard X-ray, gamma rays, thousands of times higher than the radiation of the Sun, and, moreover, many times weakened by the Earth's magnetic field.
Alpha and beta radiation of the Sun is quickly and efficiently repelled by the field, since this species is charged particles. And absorbed by the atmosphere. X-ray and gamma are wave radiation that cannot be deflected by a magnetic field. It is electrically neutral. A steel case with a thickness of at least 100 mm, covering not only residential compartments, but also food warehouses. Further. Secondary radiation generated in the thickness of the screen. Something needs to be done with him too. During the years of a perfectly calm Sun, on the flight path, a person will receive radiation, which is considered dangerous, and received in a lifetime. Flying back will certainly kill him. Two years is a guarantee of fatal exposure. And no one can guarantee that during this period the Sun will not throw a fortel.

Engines are not a great problem. The main thing in flight to Mars is protection against radiation during flight and after landing on the planet. Mars does not have a powerful magnetic field that protects from the solar wind. So the question of the existence of life on Mars is postponed indefinitely. The same applies to the near-moon station. Serious doses will be received.

All of the listed "achievements" of Americans are crossed out by a single non-return to Earth.
Deep space will not threaten us for another couple of centuries. Perhaps a couple of millennia.
To our earthly happiness, we live on the outskirts of the Milky Way Galaxy. Meeting with another civilization will destroy the earthly culture. Even if the guests will be the most humane .... Simply, because a civilization standing BELOW the earth will not fly to us first. Only standing higher can fly. But then we abandon our development path and borrow a stranger. Which is completely equivalent to the death of terrestrial civilization. NATURE is brilliant. She does not make copies. Not a single leaf, not a single grain of sand is a copy of another. Because the copy does not give an option for the development of perfection. Waste of energy, material, time. So, she made sure that no civilization would copy another. Breeding them at unattainable distances.
So, get up briskly in the morning, briskly go to work and rejoice in the fact that no one is stopping you from developing.

Suppose it is unlikely that we managed to build such a rocket in which 0,999999 mass is fuel so that the weight after the fuel is consumed will be only one millionth of the weight of the rocket at the start, then the right-hand side of equality (68) will be 13,8 and, therefore, if the gas escape velocity is 4 km / s, the rocket will be able to reach a speed of 55,2 km / s Until very high speeds have been achieved and classical mechanics can be used, a constant ratio of thrust to rocket mass of 20 m / s2 is equal to the acceleration of the rocket, 55,2 km / s will be reached after 2760 s when the distance covered is 76 000 km After this distance the fuel will be exhausted, the missile device will cease to function.

Thus, the method currently used in astronautics for communicating thrust to a rocket by burning chemical fuel cannot be applied to flight to stars and galaxies. It is only valid within the solar system. "

It is a pity that it will take so long to wait ((maybe I still will not live up to such a historic moment as the landing of a man on Mars !!
But if you fly, then not one way. The psyche can’t stand it. Since no one was in such situations, on Earth there are many who are ready to say that they say yes, I will die for the sake of Humanity. The astronauts live for half a year on the ISS, but the Earth is nearby! If that help comes. And there ... Sessions of communication with the Earth with time will begin to seem delirium or sleep, a person seeing through the windows only hopeless darkness will believe that he is ONE in the whole Universe.
So he should not be awake during the flight. There should be no time for thought. Sleep mode for a year. This technology needs to be explored. In any case, it will come in handy in the future.

Any movements should be made with some ultimate goal. What is the ultimate goal in man’s flight to Mars? Prove to yourself and others that YOU COULD? Create a rocket, ship, train a crew. Convert Mars? What resources, opportunities, efforts. Do these people not look like a schoolboy, a double student, hiding a notebook with a deuce and starting a new, clean notebook, where there are no deuces yet? Corrupt the Earth, get a deuce and hide the results of insanity from yourself?
NOT conquering new spaces for destruction and remaking for yourself, stupid. Remaking himself. Here is a goal worthy of a true CREATOR.
Or drag half the atmosphere, water, minerals to Mars to get comfortable there and plant apple trees?
But you need to know that there is no magnetic field there and all efforts will be wasted. Mars will soon lose these treasures. But what will happen on Earth?

Earth, unfortunately, is not eternal, gradually the amount of water on the planet is reduced. Water vapor decomposes under the action of external radiation in the upper atmosphere into oxygen and hydrogen. Some hydrogen molecules acquire the necessary speed and forever leave the Earth's gravitational field. A hydrogen plume scattering in space stretches behind our planet. The size of the Sun will increase in the future and the zone of life will move to Mars, it will become very hot on Earth. It is clear that this is very good. distant prospect, but humanity must think about preserving its civilization. Yes, and the development of a thing has always been very good. risky, all first sailors risked their lives.

Nothing is eternal. The Earth is not eternal, the Sun is not eternal. The Universe is not eternal. Those billions of years, presumably, given to earthlings should be used properly. Not the search for movers capable of taking them to uncharted distances, spending incredible means, but an attempt to create yourself anew. In the form of a field. In the form of an information field. Some matrix. This is the guarantee of peace. There’s nothing to fight for. A supernova does not need oil, air, bowels, money and food. Energy is drawn directly from the Sunlight. (Any star, what's the difference?). There are no diseases. Immortality achieved. The whole universe will become home. Movement at the speed of light. Meteors, cosmic radiation are safe. You can fly through the red giant Betelgeuse.
