In 2019 we are celebrating half a century that the first human stepped on the Moon. The engineer and scientific communicator José Luis Cordeiro tells us that this event marked the course of his life.
“Today we are entering a new phase of space exploration, not only by governments, but also by private companies,” explains the expert. Elon Musk’s case deserves special attention thanks to his company SpaceX (in which more than 6,000 people work).
And it is that the first SpaceX test ship to go to Mars is ready, and it reminds us of a science fiction comic. The Big Falcon Rocket, currently the Starship, is designed to transport dozens of people into deep space and back to Earth, along with all the cargo necessary to carry out a mission of this caliber.
How much will it cost to travel to Mars with SpaceX?
Through his Twitter account, the executive Elon Musk calculated an estimated figure of how much money a person would need to spend to travel to Mars. Logically we all hope that it is not cheap at all due to the magnitude of the trip. Musk replied that “It depends a lot on the volume, but I am confident that moving to Mars (with the free return ticket) will one day cost less than $ 500,000 and could be less than $ 100,000.”
” The first Martians are going to be human s and this is going to change the whole perspective of the human being, of our life and, in general, of the universe”, says the expert. When we see our little planet from Mars. Now it will be much more radical than when we were on the Moon, because we will see the earth from Mars with a colony of humans on the red planet.
We are going to start the colonization of the universe. We are going to leave this small world to begin the colonization of the cosmos. We have not seen anything of the things that we are going to discover in the next few years. It is one of the best moments to be alive, ”says José Luis Cordeiro.
