What the Journey to Mars Will Look Like!



The first flights to Mars are about to take place. For the first time, humans will land on another planet. This moment will be a moving step in the history of our species and we all dream of being able to experience the day when a human being sets foot on the Red Planet for the first time.

But have you ever wondered what this journey to Mars will look like in practice? What challenges and dangers await the first Mars astronauts? Follow us now on this first journey to Mars!

  1. No doubt the journey to Mars would be the coolest thing you'd ever see. Which should balance out nicely the fact that it is highly likely it would be the last thing you'd ever see. Is that the thinking? I've said this before, but if you could look around you, while standing among even the most ravaged and least amenable places on Earth, you would not have even scratched the surface of the joys that await you on any body within the Earth's solar system – and quite likely any other body in the known universe, were there even the remotest possibility of traveling there. As the Earth goes, so it goes for us. The planet did not come with an escape hatch. Forgive the intrusion, but someone has to make a stand for Reason. There are others, but not nearly enough to stop this colossal waste of time and resources, neither of which we have – to accentuate the glaring absurdity behind the futility.

  2. Can you even imagine being stuck in a fucking capsule for two long ass years. Nothing could go wrong. Sorry, it's a pipe dream.
    They have to know this.
    The amount of food, water, fuel, oxygen and anything else that might pop up during the mission.
    If there's any type of mechanical problem, you would be screwed.
    All this BS, just to go to a dead planet.

  3. I think what everybody is underestimating is the toll that outer space and it's conditions from coming back as jello that can't even stand without help due to long term weightlessness in space, to exposure to radiation and to experience meteor showers with no help in sight in the case of even the successful Colonization of the moon and mars, to the body. Indeed, our bodies are geared for living on earth and not in space. Which means, if we ever do want mankind to spread to other planets and other galaxies we are going to have to biologically engineer the next human evolution by technology to create human bodies that can live without lungs to withstand the vacuum of space, along with intelligence levels increased in human brains and other evolutionary immunities where human bodies can exist in space and even on the harshest planets, comets and asteroids. In this, we are going to need to make a race of ourselves in order to make colonization on planets by properly evolved human beings to achieve that while knowing that we, ourselves, are doomed to share the destruction of earth when the sun turns into a red giant to swallow us up. Otherwise, we'll never be able to do it in our current form and the universe is not even going to remember us, even if it could.

  4. Astronauts can only spend so many weeks in the space station because the weightlessness and radiation will kill them if they stay too long. They are limited to so many weeks in a life time. It is less weeks than it would take to get to Mars. No one could make it to mars alive. Do not sign up to go to Mars. It will be an experiment to see if they send many if perhaps someone might by chance make it there alive. If you did make it you could never come back. If you did make it you would die in teh first few days. Never trust anyone who tells you that you could one day go to Mars. Your head woudl swell up like a balloon. It would be a horrible death. No one will make it 200 days in space.

  5. Wow, if they could cut a 10 to 11 month journey to under 2 months during a Mars time window, maybe more frequent unmanned supply missions to Mars might become a possible reality. As we know now, only being able to send a vessel to Mars practically during a small period of time that only occurs every couple of years poses a daunting risk of being cut of from possible support from Earth for years at a time
