The times to travel to Mars.




If we had a space engine that travels at 800,000 km/h, like the one proposed by Pulsar Fusion, we would arrive at Mars in a month, you arrive at Mars in a month, but then you have to land, do the things on Mars that need to be done, you know, plant the flag, collect samples, see if there is life on Mars, past, present, collect the tubes for Perseverance, whatever, do things.


That's going to take you a while, at least another month and then another month to come back. We are already talking about an expedition, another month to return, right? Because Mars will be positioned in another place further from Earth, which would take much longer, even with the fastest engine projected by Pulsar Fusion, it can take approximately 6 months, because Mars at the furthest point from The Earth is about 55 million kilometers away, but at the farthest point it is about 400 million kilometers.

And when the launch window opens, you can arrive perhaps in a month with that Pulsal Fusion engine, but then Mars moves, so after doing your things you would be much further from Earth, but let's say 6 months, which would already be a very fast mission for Mars, but that means a lot of food, water, equipment for the mission.


You need a huge ship, you need a ship in volume the size of the international space station or any other proposal with a huge volume for all the food, the equipment, the landing rockets, because it is not like landing on the moon, with a StarShip you could land on Mars. because you need quite a bit of rocket power.


By saying 6 months, I could be super short, the normal thing for these missions to Mars is two or three years, two or three years is what is being talked about, but even with 6 months you don't need a huge ship that we don't have. The thing is that the StarShip would not be enough, because to begin with the StarShip, even if the astronauts were in it and it has a large volume to have a sufficient habitat with food and so on, the StarShip needs to refuel, so you will need to send not one, but several StarShips, one with the astronauts and others with fuel, perhaps equipment to be able to recharge the StarShip so that it can update and then take off, that is what is complicated.




So the issue is complicated, in 2030 I don't think we will travel, 2035 perhaps, but there are also a lot of calendar things planned to be done between 2027 and 2035, which is enormous, they are going to be very crazy years, they are going to be years in which we are going to see a lot of amazing things, in the 1930s robotics is going to be a consumer product, in the 1930s we will have to see Usually astronauts on the moon, whether they are Americans or Chinese, because China is the scheduled date to reach the moon.


We also have to see test missions to Mars, we have to send a StarShip to Mars and it lands there, empty, with equipment or fuel or whatever you want, but it has to land there to see if it can be landed, you cannot blindly send a mission without knowing, without testing the equipment and we are also going to see a new international station, because in 2030 the existing one must be destroyed because it is already very old, there are projects to build several for private company laboratories and even space tourism.
