The wild plan for Mars’ trick by knocking the asteroids to it
This often It seems that the more the planets are studied and understood, they appear to live. For example, Mars is the closest heavenly body to Earth, but data shows that its conditions are very hostile to life.
However, NASA intends to send astronauts to the Red Planet, and Elon Mesak is a voice pro -human being there. In the short term, the solution to the colonization of Mars is to build special enclosure habitats. But in the long run, some have proposed some more ambitious strategy. Space colonialism enthusiasts encourage Mars – that is, it converts the planet to obtain similar features of the Earth.
Scientists admit that any proposals for Mars TerraForming are a few decades, although calculations are currently underway to evaluate how the Titanic process works. Leszek Chechowski, a professor of the Polish Academy of Geophysics, has suggested how to turn the rusty planet into a place where man can walk without space. To achieve this goal, the researcher suggests that you bomb it with asteroids from afar.
Mars is an oxygen -free planet that is so thin with the atmosphere that it prevents the accumulation of liquid water on its surface. None of these properties will change if the atmospheric pressure is ignored at first. If a person is protected to the surface of Mars, they will not die from choking or freezing, but because their blood is almost because of atmosphere deficiency.
In Earth, atmospheric pressure is due to the total mass of gases in its dense atmosphere. Here, at sea level, the pressure is 101,325 Pascal. On Mars hard to reach 600 Pascal, less than 1 % of the ground pressure. Therefore, to start scaring, scientists must first thickest the atmosphere of Mars. Other important challenges, such as severe temperatures, protection against solar radiation and water, are examined later.
Any scientist who explores the scary Mars, concludes: There is no simplicity of materials to change your space, and any attempt to transport elements there indicates an unprecedented energy cost.
The Czechusky solution is to bomb the planet with asteroids. In his suggestion, a large asteroid directly in Hellas Planitia, a huge effect on the southern hemisphere of Mars. According to this theory, the impact of a significant asteroid, containing the essential elements for the planet’s residence, makes Mars warm and at the same time thickening the atmosphere.
But this cannot be just any asteroid – it should be one of the abundant water and nitrogen. This immediately rejects anything from the asteroid belt of the Solar System, which lies between the customer and Mars. Instead, any large stone must be made from the Kuyper belt, the discus that surrounds the outer solar system and is full of frozen objects and elementary water.
