HOW TO GET TO MARS TECHNICALLY
This is a short lesson in astrophysics. Ok for those interested in learning the technical aspects of getting to Mars and also so not obvious technicalities. if not please Scroll down. So to journey to Mars just for a robotic rover is extremely challenging . So this is exactly the same for humans it’s a matter of scale and adding weight for life support and therefore the extra weight of the fuel needed. Technical simplified list of considerations just to get there. 1. Timing 2. Weight/Mass 3. Fuel 4. Calculations 5. Extra factors gravity slingshots or gravity assist. 6. Why haven’t we got there already. 7. Extra consideration or facts 1.TIMING Ok what’s time got todo with it?? Short Answer a lot. Consider this the earth orbits the sun at approximately 30 kilometers per second, (67,000 miles per hour). Taking obviously 1 earth year Mars travels at: 24 kilometers per second (53,853 miles per hour), or a period of about 686.93 earth days. How is this relevant?...
