Journey towards the Colonization on the RED PLANET
Conquering Mars
Man, arriving on Mars, will mark the beginning of a new era, that of an interplanetary species. Will humanity overcome what divides it, or, on the contrary, will it sink into conflicts inherent to its nature?
It is a Martian sequence that we are going through. Finally, after several months of travel, three satellites arrive at the Red Planet. Perseverance, the NASA mission, and the United Arab Emirates' Hope' and China’s 'Tianwen-1' probes have scientific and political dimensions.
Global interest in the colonization of Mars is growing. The space race of the early 1960s between the United States and the former Soviet Union is history. Today, all nations are learning to collaborate to develop the technological intelligence necessary for Mars.
As a result, countries worldwide, including some that were not expected to work with the United States, are thinking, talking, and pushing forward the spaceship project - and ultimately humans – on planet Red. For example, collaborations between Europe, Russia, China, and India, with the United States, bring together forces that will make this Mars conquest project possible, financially and technologically. As for the private sector, the research it carries out is so exciting that it could bring us even closer to accomplishing this conquest.
Why Explore Mars?
Discoveries made on Mars over the past century suggest that the Red Planet could host ecosystems and may still harbor microbial life forms.
The fourth planet from the Sun, Mars, is located just after Earth. About half the size of the blue world, the red planet has a gravity equivalent to only 38% that of its neighbor. So if it takes longer to orbit the Sun than the Earth, it rotates around its axis at an almost similar speed. This is why a year lasts 687 Earth days on Mars, but the days are only 40 minutes longer than on Earth.
Despite its smaller size, its area is roughly equivalent to that of all Earth’s continents combined. Mars, therefore theoretically, has a similar living area. But there is a problem: it is now enveloped in a refined atmosphere of carbon dioxide and cannot harbor
