Flight to Mars
The head of the company SpaceX, an American businessman Elon Musk announced the possibility of human flight to Mars by 2025. The words of the entrepreneur, as reported by Fox News, came during a speech at an investment forum in Hong Kong.If we talk about the first flights to Mars, we hope to do it around the years 2020-2025, after about nine years," said Musk on a question of participants of the forum on the first manned SpaceX mission. The businessman stressed that nine years is enough for a training flight. http://lenta.ru/news/2016/01/30/mars/
Not to be confused with Mars One. Mars One — private project, led by Bas Lansdorp and involving a flight to Mars with the subsequent Foundation of the colony on its surface and broadcast all events on television. Adventure mission to Mars in one direction without returning back.
Elon Musk deals with real things. His company has developed the launch vehicles Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 from the beginning in order to make them reusable, and the Dragon spacecraft (to orbit the same Falcon 9), designed to resupply the International space station. He has already made the return to earth of the first stage - another step towards creating a reusable spacecraft. Step more important than the launch of the Shuttle, which returned only boosters and the manned capsule.
But still nine years to build a ship to fly to Mars ..... advertising or reality?
The Americans do this? It's all for show as useless as the films of theirs, I want to create an impression, but then what to do with it, I do not know. on the moon with fly, it is time to Mars. All these matters should be dealt with Russian people. We have smart people, only fools in power .
We have smart people, only fools in power .
Well, one of them should be sent to Mars?
It is easier to build McDonald's in Namibia than on Mars. So that Americans still are not interested. As for Rossii - that on Mars there is no electorate is ready to vote, thus, Putin, the red planet is not too interesting.
Russia
All these matters should be dealt with Russian people
That's just our space program is screwed. In contrast to them.
on the moon with fly,
Wow, another moron.

Well he flew the word in quotes picked up, hence it is adept of the lunar conspiracy. Consequently, dummy.
Who wrote the EW article?!
The Shuttle that came back? Capsule and boosters? The author has forgotten what Shuttle? Well then, let Blizzard see=)
It also had to tread...
With regard to office max, then taking into account its high accident rate, Mars will reach at best the fifth expedition

The author has forgotten what Shuttle?
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Спейс_шаттл
This reusable system consists of three[4] the main components (steps):
Two solid rocket boosters which work for about two minutes after starting, driving and steering the ship, and then separated at an altitude of about 45 km, and splashed down on parachutes into the ocean and, after repairs and refilling, are used again;[5]
A large external fuel tank with liquid hydrogen and oxygen for the main engines. The tank also serves as a frame for clamping boosters and spacecraft. The tank is discarded after approximately 8.5 minutes at a height of 113 km, most of it burns in the atmosphere, and the remains fall into the ocean[6].
Manned spacecraft-the space Shuttle — Orbiter (eng. the Orbiter Vehicle, or just English. the Orbiter) — the actual "space Shuttle" (space Shuttle), which goes into orbit, there is a platform for research and a home for the crew. After the mission returns to Earth and lands like a glider on the runway[7].
In my opinion at the moment, going to Mars is difficult due to several items that I consistently paymenow:
1. Now on Mother Earth problems more than enough. Terrorism. Local wars. The solution to these problems in somewhat greater priority than a flight to Mars.
2. The lack of material-technical base forth in addition to the required in a huge amount of money can be attributed to technology, which could make the process of launch, flight and landing, with a possible return Home safe, fast, comfortable and generally in every possible way promote the life and health of all expedition participants.
3. Absence if local experts in the fields of Astronautics and physics (these I have observed in the subject of gravitational waves) will allow me so to speak, reference point - some clear program, which includes the rationale of such a long and dangerous journey. In other words, how spirited people would do it, besides the obvious thrust into the unknown? Geological or chemical research? Organization Mars semi-Autonomous base, adapted for a long stay people in order to investigate the influence of a non-Earth physical parameters of the red planet in person? Or both the first and second and third and unspecified right?
How about a possibility to create on this base what you want? The first one who gets there, will overcome the entire planet if strong enough. A huge ground where you can do anything and easy to put on all bolt. Cloning? Easy. Biological, chemical, any other weapon - no problem. The opportunity to escape, if something went wrong - this option after serious preparation is possible. And, you can create a society of any structure, no Tajiks accidentally in the rocket will climb up and Vice versa. Dream of a Nazi anyway, the only problem is the low level of technology, can fly for stick the box and half an hour to walk and really makes no sense.
APS
Wow, another moron.
If Americans really flew, it would be an event, very significant for US. Therefore one flight to the moon, they would not stop. The moon facing the earth on one side, it facilitates the task for further research. The moon not explored, and the Mars together.

1. Now on Mother Earth problems more than enough. Terrorism. Local wars. The solution to these problems in somewhat greater priority than a flight to Mars.
The problems on Earth were and will be, not because they have to score on the space program, hoping for the onset of better times. The more that space and so far not a priority. Even if the Martian manned program took and spent $100 billion, it would still be less than 6 % of the military budget in the world.
Yes and terrorism with war, in fact, not the main problem, because they are solvable in principle, we need only the political will of some countries. Global more important things, on which depends the survival of mankind as a species — finding a reliable, inexhaustible source of energy (read: mastering thermonuclear fusion), protecting the planet from asteroid threats, the prevention of environmental crisis on the scale of the biosphere, etc.
The money required for a manned expedition to Mars, there's just no one wants to spend on it. And rightly so, because they can be spent within the same space much more efficiently, for example to send dozens of robotic spacecraft to different planets. Only, alas, so many will not give money to other space projects.

The landfill is not needed. Those countries that would be able to create it, have the opportunity to do such on Earth. If China wants to engage in human cloning or other things that can cause outrage, it is still no ban. Maximum sanctions any impose that will still be less devastating than the colonization of another planet.
The real benefit from colonizing planets that they become a backup for civilization. The colonization of the neighboring planets protects civilization from destruction of their home world (for example, due to a collision with an asteroid or global nuclear war), the colonization of other star systems — from the death of stars (though the stars around which life is possible, to die in such a way that a sufficiently advanced civilization will probably be able to survive, moving to more distant objects of their system), colonization of the galaxy making civilization vulnerable to natural hazards (in particular, to the supernova/Hypernova).
So the sooner we begin expansion into distant space, the better, but it is very heavy.

Therefore one flight to the moon, they would not stop.
And he was not alone. As the moon continues to explore the machines. No such strategy is to explore fully every celestial body, and then fly to another, different objects are studied in parallel.
Veenine
Well, flew the Americans persuaded, but I doubt it, since it would be a significant event.
No such strategy is to explore fully every celestial body, and then fly to another, different objects are studied in parallel.
It is one thing to investigate and another to send them to the living. It's clear that everything is to be researched, researched. But people have to prevent if there kakayato other purpose, except that just to fly off to on. Well, flew to Mars, a significant event, the Americans are ahead of the rest, and what are the next steps? I want to know is it possible to fly on Mars? The answer is obvious - possible. All flew, all joyful, you can relax for several decades.
If we reject the test runs, and dogs, in the beginning was Gagarin in space, following the Americans were on the moon, and further action, mission to Mars. It's like wanting to learn a particular case, and to undertake to develop not gradually but at once to master all the knowledge relevant to the case, and eventually will learn nothing (I mean the exploration of space by humans).
How many milyardy on this steal! And at the same time to mislead the townsfolk brains dreams of high.
Russia
Well, flew the Americans persuaded, but I doubt it, since it would be a significant event.
What makes you think that it is not meaningful?
In General, something I do not understand your position. On early Mars a person to send?
Self-Relliant
How many milyardy on this steal!
If you fear of embezzlement of funds, you have to do all the expensive projects to be abandoned. Let's not build telescopes, accelerators, fusion reactors and in General back in the stone age when no one stole billions.
an expedition to Mars and other balls to be postponed at least until the development of reusable stages and steamboats, with a large living space and well duplicated systems gipolipidemia guns protiv nabigay elfazepam and other things. while the construction of che flying between planets type arbetarnas space station and deliver put such modules on Mars with the radiation protection is very doraga. this is a rough how to build a nuclear submarine in the orbit of the current that she litala in and. even if all of the country will fold into one common Fund they'd nepoznat.
so it's better first to build a lunar station and organize there licausi between the orbits paravoz with ion engines. it perspective much more popular and interesting. and the moon hides alfazeta litut there, the pyramids build. Nada to show who is in Solnechni the system owner.
and in the future ultimate Nada oswait other planets. because this is how to put all your eggs in one basket. but in the solar system normal and work hard to develop the technology of interplanetary Perilla is not yet possible. there need harsh racing is not rocket science and in earth science in General. even in fact it is still unclear where litet. and all the rest of the work can better be pitch devices without direct piloting nadopasana.

what a spirited person would do that
I agree. This can make it a person in a few days, which can not make the Rovers? This is probably the main reason why no country is investing billions in the project. As for Ilona, it is very extraordinary man, and to follow his dream, he is able to earn money and engage supporters. Now he makes his launch into orbit. And at the same time improving missiles. The question do him nine years to build rockets capable of reaching Mars? In my opinion, the previous history of space exploration shows that there are always all sorts of problems, which earlier guess was no. But on the other hand flew to the moon nearly half a century ago. Experience since then has accumulated Nemer.
We wish Ilona and good luck. And it would be cool if the twenty-fifth year, he would be able to send humans to Mars.
