These 8 photos of SpaceX will tell you what our first trip to Mars looks like
Elon Musk's lifelong company launched eight photos of the journey to launch the ship carrying the first passengers to Mars.
Everyone knows that Elon Musk poured his energy into SpaceX with only one goal: to help humans set foot on Mars. While the company still does not refuse to hire, for example, launching satellites for NASA or telecommunications companies, they are probably just "short-term" projects to "feed" for ambitious goals. on. Of course, the dream of one day humanity becomes a multi-planet creature, in addition to extraordinary creative thinking efforts, money is also needed. A lot of money.
Musk spoke at the International Aeronautics Conference last year that he is trying to accumulate assets to finance this Mars mission. "I really don't have any personal motivation to accumulate assets, in addition to the engine of realizing multi-planet scenarios."
But he also acknowledged that it could lead to an outcome that became a public-private partnership model. Musk believes that at some point, extinction will take place on the earth, so being a creature adapted to places other than the earth is the most possible thing people can do if they want to live. omitted.
Musk started working as SpaceX in 2002 and officially revealed his Martian mission last year. SpaceX originally launched a satellite, providing fuel re-supply solutions for the International Space Station and succeeded in reusing the first phase of the rocket. Reusable rockets are the key to lowering the price of space travel, according to Musk.
In addition, there were two people willing to sign SpaceX for space exploration. SpaceX will return them to travel around the Moon in 2018.
With the mission of bringing people to Mars, perhaps before NASA, it would be logical to assume that the company had prepared a strong technical / computer platform to outline its prospects. And indeed, the Musk keynote presentation last year focused on the detailed plan that SpaceX dedicated to the Mars project. The company even gave pictures of what the tour would look like.
The tour will begin with NASA's historic missile launcher, 39A, where the Apollo 11 mission has sent the first astronauts to the moon. This launcher has also recently been used by SpaceX for other missile launches. We can see other onions put on missiles. However, they will look tiny when placed next to a giant rocket

The giant rocket will launch from platform 39A into the universe with the ultimate goal, to reach Mars.
This is the image SpaceX wants to see in the rocket launch from 39A.
The rocket's first-floor propulsion will be separated from the spacecraft. This engine will then return to earth where the propeller refueling vessel is added.
The rocket propulsion part will leave it and return to Earth.
The rocket will launch into space and connect to the spacecraft to refuel the ship before it continues its journey to Mars. This process will take place three to five times before the ship successfully lands on Mars.
The ship will refuel the spacecraft as soon as it is in orbit.
The refueling vessel will then return to Earth as soon as the refueling process is completed, while the spacecraft will begin to depart for Mars. The spacecraft is also equipped with solar antennas to power the deck.
Solar antennas will be used as soon as the spacecraft leaves its orbit to reach Mars.
The spacecraft will travel for weeks. According to Musk, it is estimated that it will take 80 to 150 days for it to arrive, but it is also expected that in the future this time will be reduced to only 1 month.
The spacecraft will arrive in Mars after 80 to 150 days.
The model shows that the spacecraft will land vertically, looks very much like the missiles that Musk is reusing now.
The spacecraft will land vertically.
If all goes according to plan, Musk's dream of turning people into multi-planet animals will come true. Musk estimates that after the first trip to Mars, it will take between 40 and 100 years for us to build a self-reliant city on that planet.
