In 2025, how will the 100 pioneers going to Mars survive and whether they can return to

earth?

Today we will talk about Martian immigration. Elon Musk's Mars immigration plan plans to
use the new construction to send the first batch of 100 people to Mars around 2025.So when
these Mars pioneers arrive on the red Planet, what challenges will they face? How will they
survive? Do they have a chance to return to earth? Today we will talk about these Martian
pioneers.
Since Columbus discovered the New World of North America in the 15th century, all
European countries have wanted to establish colonies on this legendary rich and vast land in
order to obtain the greatest benefits.

In 1607, a British commercial adventure company took a charter from the King of England
and dispatched two ocean-going warships. Carrying perfect supplies and 120 people to the
North American continent, after a few months of sailing, they landed on the east coast of
present-day Maine. But what they didn't know was that there were various dangers waiting
for them on this unknown continent.

Most of the British who landed in North America died of disease and famine in the first year,
attacks by wild animals and local tribes, and some disappeared inexplicably. By the following
year, fewer than 30 of the 120 people were left. The first colonization ended in failure, and
these people never returned to Britain.

But in the next hundred years, Britain established thirteen colonies on the east coast of North
America and began to immigrate to North America in large numbers. After hundreds of years
of development, most people in the United States today are descendants of these colonial
immigrants. If it were just to establish a new colony on the earth, it would already be difficult.
Then it is even more difficult to go to another planet to open up a new world.

Compared with the North American continent at that time, Mars was a place full of unknowns
and dangers. If these 100 Martian pioneers were to survive, they must do some special
training and preparations. Before the new ship carrying one hundred pioneers arrives on Mars,
Space x will launch two material starships, which will arrive on Mars in advance and land at
the scheduled location.

They were filled with equipment, fuel, water and food needed for the early development of
Mars. These equipment include large solar panels, mining equipment, and life support
systems. Mining is one of the most important tasks of the first Mars pioneers. The fuel
equipment will collect a large amount of carbon dioxide and part of hydrogen on Mars, and
use Sabatier reaction to generate methane and water, which can be used as fuel for starships
returning to Earth. And the meaning of water naturally goes without saying.
After five to seven months of flight, the first new ship carrying one hundred volunteers
successfully reached the orbit of Mars. During the flight. Except for one crew member who
died of a sudden illness, the remaining ninety-nine people arrived safely, and they landed
precisely next to the two supply starships. After opening the hatch, in addition to seeing the
long-awaited Mars, they will face a difficult task.

They used a newly built external elevator to unload equipment and personnel to the ground,
and before assembling mining equipment and fuel equipment, they first had to assemble a
temporary base on the surface of Mars. This base will be similar to the International Space
Station, using modular assembly, including living space, activity space and a huge
greenhouse, which will simulate the earth's environment, grow some vegetables and fruits,
and provide them with options other than space food.

Although the space food on the starship can be eaten by these people for two years and is rich
in nutrients, no one would want to eat these same foods every day. In order to allow the
pioneers to explore freely on Mars, the starship also carried a number of Mars all-terrain
vehicles. They were provided by nasa. This kind of rover can carry multiple people and travel
continuously for 72 hours. It can reach as far as 200 kilometers away. You must know that the
lunar rover that humans bring to the moon can only carry up to two people and travel to a
distance of ten kilometers.

Before the Mars rover showed that the Martian soil contains two percent of water, because the
atmospheric pressure of Mars is only one percent of that of the earth. For example, in high-
altitude areas of the earth, the lower the air pressure, the lower the boiling point of water, so
the water on the surface of Mars is evaporated.

It shows that there are vast underground lakes in some areas of Mars, so in addition to mining,
the important task of reaching Mars also includes finding these underground lakes. They want
to use the rover to find the place where there is an underground lake on Mars. Once they find
it, they can desalinate and distillation to purify the groundwater and turn it into a water source
for human drinking.

In addition, the north and south poles of Mars have also confirmed that there is a huge amount
of liquid water or liquid ice, and these areas will also be places to establish water intake bases.
The temporary base on the surface of Mars is only provided for the pioneers to use in the
initial transition. Since there is no vegetation and stable liquid water on the surface of Mars, a
large amount of dust will form terrifying sandstorms, sometimes for months.

This kind of high-radiation dust storm will cause great harm to equipment and personnel on
the surface of Mars, so the long-term base on Mars must be built underground or in a
protective cover. NASA held a competition for a 3d printing base on Mars as early as 2016 to
solicit construction plans for a Mars base from all over the world. The plan provided by the
world-renowned Hassel Design consulting company was selected. The plan called Mars
Habitat is to use the soil and ore on the surface of Mars as raw materials to make a protective
cover structure. This is the importance of reaching Mars for mining.

This protective cover adopts an elliptical structure and has very good wind and impact
resistance. Inside is an inflatable cabin made of high-strength materials, which can be
expanded into a complete and docking cabin within a few minutes, which is very efficient.
And these devices will be launched separately to Mars, using modular robots for assembly.
This kind of one-wheeled modular robot can be spliced into various equipment by itself, and
the vehicle can respond to different needs.

For example, a mining vehicle, a solar vehicle, or a transport vehicle, they use new and
advanced exploration equipment to find the best geology, and then mine.The soil and minerals
will be transported to the gold chain cart, and then processed into finer particles, which will
be melted by the paving robot using microwave heating and the foundation will be laid.In a
few months, these robots will gradually print out the shell of the base, and the material
starship and the personnel starship will land near them.

When the Martian pioneers find them, this Martian base should be able to move in
directly.They can also manually operate these equipment, or use newly built mining
equipment to rebuild a 3D printing base. The Martian pioneers will drive various equipment
into the protective cover, open the inflatable cabin, and dock them one by one to form a huge
Martian base.

Through the expansion interface, this base can expand infinitely.These compartments have
multiple environmental and life support systems. Through pipelines buried underground in
advance, water and air are introduced into the various modules of the base, as well as
electricity and data. And these interfaces are provided in each module, which can be
connected to various life support systems, just like the sockets in our homes.

The power supply of the base comes from a large solar power plant and a spare small nuclear
reactor. Each cabin of the base has different functions, and the internal space can also be
modular and reorganized, and it can be docked with each rover. This is the first home of the
Martian pioneers on Mars. However, the completion of this base is still full of challenges and
is expected to take six to eight months.

This base has an advanced research laboratory, and the first Martian immigrants can grow
vegetables and fruits in hydroponic greenhouses. Develop equipment suitable for Mars,
perfect fitness and living facilities, and advanced virtual reality equipment in the digital
laboratory to provide an environment that simulates the earth. Because scientists believe that
the key to the success of immigration on Mars lies in the physical and mental health of
mankind, and in making Mars a beautiful living environment, not just a scientific research
environment. This is a key step for mankind to become a trans-planetary species.
There is a certain probability that the first Martian pioneers will die on Mars, such as the
radiation of Mars, the environment, the attack of sandstorms, and the outbreak of unknown
diseases. If they can overcome various difficulties and successfully survive, even if they
partially survive, it will create good conditions for subsequent immigrants. After the Mars
base is fully completed, the newly built methane fuel will also be replenished. At this time,
some personnel can be transported back to Earth to check the impact of the Martian
environment on the human body and replace some volunteers.

But there will still be some people who decide to stay on Mars forever and work tirelessly for
a great cause. The second batch of manned construction carried more Martian immigrants to
the Mars base, and the construction of materials also continuously transported more
equipment. Then the remaining task is to build the first Martian city. Elon Musk believes that
Martian cities will use high-strength glass domes, which can withstand cosmic radiation and
Martian sandstorms.

Because if you want to immigrate to Mars, it is impossible to live underground for a long
time. You must feel the changes of the planet's day and night, the sun, the moon and the stars,
which are essential to the physical and mental health of the human body. This Martian city
also includes a launch site suitable for starships and other spacecraft to land and take off, as
well as roads to various facilities. These facilities will include residences, greenhouses,
factories, medical and activity centers. It will take 30 to 50 years to build, because many of
the early equipment depends on launching from the earth.

Musk believes that in 2050, the first Martian city will take shape and the population will reach
10,000.But as more and more immigrants arrive on Mars, they will include people from all
countries and races. Although these people are all selected elites, the challenge facing this
Martian city is how to build a perfect Martian society and create a good start for subsequent
immigrants and even Martian civilization.

Regarding how to build a Martian society, it involves all levels. You know, one of the major
reasons for the failure of the first British colonization of North America was that the
personnel of various expeditions attacked each other in order to compete for land and
resources, leading to infighting and failure. Martian immigrants are actually facing complex
social problems. The closest place on Earth where humans can find a new society on Mars is
Antarctica.

Several major powers have signed the Antarctic Treaty here, which aims to turn Antarctica
into a place dedicated to peace, not a place for international disputes, and to restrain the
activities of countries on Antarctica, the only continent on earth that has no permanent
population. On the continent. Similarly, the Outer space Treaty signed by various countries in
1966 also stipulates that no country can take places other than the earth for itself or claim
sovereignty, such as the moon and Mars.

However, whether it is the Antarctic Treaty or the outer space Treaty, countries have not
implemented it very well. Moreover, military behavior will still be given priority in these
places. Therefore, for Mars, a more distant place, whether certain human systems are feasible
will become a question. We know that any conflict comes from the gains and losses of
interests, so for Mars.

Limited resources will definitely be the focus of future competition. In order to avoid
conflicts over resources, Martian immigrants should formulate a sound economic system
before they arrive, such as the rational use and trading system of local resources, and even a
brand new currency system. This will be different from any system on earth, to ensure
fairness, rationality and certain particularities.

Then there is a sound management system, how to select individuals or groups to manage the
Martian society. Elon Musk proposed a plan for a management system in 2016, but whether
this system is applicable to Mars is still worth testing, because these are only plans based on
the social environment of the earth, and different regions and environments require different
systems. For example, humanitarianism on earth, one is to save lives at all costs.

But if someone is in danger on Mars, but rescuing him may send more lives or consume
limited supplies, thus affecting the whole, then how does the manager choose at this time?
And there is a more important issue. For reproduction and reproduction on Mars, the Martian
environment has an impact on the development of the fetus.

Before the breakthrough on this major proposition, the current plan was to prohibit
procreation on Mars, but once the Martian population is large, pregnancy and procreation will
be a major challenge. Is it for offspring who may have multiple diseases to be born, or is it
strangled in the cradle? For these issues, ethics, morality and human nature will face brand
new challenges.

After the Martian city and the Martian society are finally formed, the next plan will last for
thousands of years. Mars Transformation Plan. If Mars is really transformed into a planet as
suitable for human habitation as the Earth, then the Martian civilization will eventually be
born. Then the sense of identity of humans born on Mars with the earth will slowly disappear.
A potential question is whether the delicate relationship between Mars and the Earth will be
broken.

If it is broken, then the hundreds of years of war between Mars and the Earth mentioned in
some mysterious ancient literature may really happen. Of course, this is the most extreme
result, and I still hope that future Martians can often go back to their hometown on earth to
see it.
