NASA scientists claim that the agency is working to bring people permanently settled on Mars or satellites orbiting the planet. The plan is part of a multi-billion dollar program called Hundred Years Starship headed by NASA's Ames Research Center.

Currently this project has received support and cooperation from the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Agency (DARPA) and businessman Larry Page - co-founder of Google search engine. Dr. Pete Worden, director of Ames Research Center, revealed that this $ 10 billion project is expected to be realized by 2030.

" We hope to convince many billionaires to invest in the Hundred Year Starship project. The purpose of this program is to find new worlds for humanity. 20 years ago, this plan could be But with today's technology and in the years to come, we can completely design spacecraft that can take people to other planets in the universe , "said Dr. Pete Worden. said.

It is known that the flight from Earth to Mars in the Hundred Year Starship program will take about 9 months and the volunteers participating in this project will not return to Earth but permanently settle on the red planet . The reason is that the cost of bringing astronauts back to Earth is expensive and not feasible.

Volunteers who set foot on Mars will have to adapt themselves to harsh conditions, temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius as well as an ultra-dilute atmosphere. Until now, scientists have not been able to know exactly the severity of the red planet. Therefore, Dr. Pete Worden warned volunteers to prepare themselves for the worst cases.

" How do people live in a different world like Mars? I cannot give an accurate answer. If you are a negative person, you fear you will not be able to survive in the etching condition. On the contrary, if you are an optimistic person, you can be confident that you can master a new world , 'Pete Worden said.

However, a DARPA spokesman said the ambitious project is still in the process of feasibility studies and calls for investors. Hundred Year Starship details and realism will be announced by researchers in early 2011.
