New Horizons In Space Exploration

in #news7 years ago

"After decades in decline, space exploration appears to be on the cusp of revitalization. New possibilities are being forecast on the horizon.
-Excerpt From 'New Frontier' (2017)


In honor of the eclipse today, I wanted to bring up the new space race and ask for some participation from you in when you think certain events may take place! Elon Musk seems to think that we'll be landing a human on Mars within 20 years and we will eventually go on to colonize it. He thinks we can terraform it and he is helping to reshape the economic landscape for Space Exploration. His and his teams' ideas on the modularization of components of rockets and space exploration is making us realize that exploration into space can be far more economically efficient than it has been in the past. The man thinks about component reuse the same way an object-oriented programmer considers code reuse and this can be amazing for a financial bottom line that wants to emphasize cost-effectiveness.

I'd love to see human beings reach Mars, colonize it, and begin our journey across this galaxy and the next. I think that, at the same time, we will see commercial space flights for tourists becoming available. Richard Bransen promised this a decade or so ago and, unfortunately, we haven't really seen it yet, but I think it is coming and it will definitely come before we go to Mars. If we can make space travel exponentially less costly and we can get more and more people onboard with the possibilities, we will soon be entering a new era in space travel, where more and more will experience space.

....That being said, if flat earthers are right, no one will experience space travel to Mars, because it doesn't exist....

What are your thoughts!? When do you think we'll visit Mars (if ever)? When will there be commercial spaceflights? Let me know below and thanks for reading!

AS ALWAYS, WISHES OF WEALTH AND HEALTH FOR ALL! :)

interesting post!

Humanity will only travel the cosmos when they allow us to travel through space time. Warp machines, anti gravity, and teleportation which is all proven possible. Rockets are just too 1940s. Lol.

That'd be friggen baDASS!

awesome!

Thanks! :)

Flat earther. Do you think there is even 1 pct chance they are right?

I'd probably give them a .00001% chance (1/100,000th of 1%), but am open to persuasion if they have more compelling evidence than the 'law of perspective' (which is essentially just saying that those with better cameras can see further than those without them) and the fact that NASA doctors their images to make people more interested in their organization. haha

yeah i guess with 0.00001 percent chance we are fine. but who know there is people wining lottery everyday with lower probability than this. If the earth is flat and we live in a matrix i is kind of depressing

Very true; strange things can happen for sure and scientific theories are disproved all the time (however, this would be like taking out the 'moby dick' of scientific theories though haha)!

I guess that only time will answer us

FACT!

Howdy, If they do, it will probably be simulator!
