Going to bring hundreds of thousands of people to live in Mars?

Billionaire Elon Musk, founder and CEO of Space X Universe Company, is planning to set up a spacecraft capable of 80,000 people to conquer Mars, with the cost of each flight consumed. about 500,000 USD.

This type of spacecraft will contain a huge amount of equipment, including machinery for the production of fertilizers, methane and oxygen from nitrogen and carbon dioxide found in Mars's atmosphere and ice surface of this red planet.

At the same time, those brought to Mars will be equipped with transparent dome-building materials to withstand the pressure of CO2 in the Martian atmosphere to be able to grow plants on Mars. When the base on Mars can be better self-sufficient, the spacecraft will transport more people and fewer materials.

In order to bring the giant spacecraft, Musk said, the company did not use Dragon missiles but could be a heavy rocket. According to previous leaked information, the missile is called Mars conquering transport missile (MCT) with engine thrust up to 160,000 lb equivalent to Falcon-9 missiles.

In addition, Musk also revealed that it is possible that the conquered Mars spacecraft will have an internal oxygen concentration of about 30-40%, with liquid water surrounding it to protect the spacecraft. Musk also estimates the cost of each flight is US $ 500,000, and by the time the warship completes, the Earth has about 8 billion people, of which 100,000,000,000 people could migrate to Mars.
