Elon Musk is a famous visionary who has already launched a vehicle into space. And now he comes up with another crazy idea, which concerns the planet Mars. It has been talked about for a long time in connection with its terraforming. This means the deliberate transformation of the atmosphere, temperature and natural conditions to make them as close as possible to those on Earth. The biggest problem in this regard is the thin layer of the atmosphere of Mars, which is why it is necessary to move around in a spacesuit. The low atmospheric pressure is to blame, which would cause the organs in the body to burst. Of course, this is also related to the lack of oxygen, high ultraviolet radiation or temperature.

Already in 2015, Musk came up with the proposal that it would be possible to use nuclear weapons to release enough carbon dioxide from the planet's underground and thereby increase the layer of the atmosphere and its pressure. A scientific study published in the journal Nature Astronomy looked at the same question and tried to answer how to reach atmospheric pressure without even needing to use breathing tools.
Musk already got the car into space, now it's time to populate Mars.

However, the result of the research is disappointing, because according to him, there is not enough carbon dioxide on Mars to help increase the pressure to the necessary level. Its quantity would help raise the atmospheric pressure to 7% of that on Earth. The current state is roughly 6%. Of course, this is not even enough for us to be able to move around the planet without a space suit, let alone breathing apparatus.
Musk, however, is not going to be deterred. On Monday, he tweeted that there is enough carbon dioxide on Mars to terraform the planet. However, he did not say how he came to this conclusion. So it looks like we will have to wait a few more years for regular trips to Mars. However, according to NASA, this is not an impossible thing and it is said that we could really succeed in the future. NakoneMusk plans to send the first people to Mars as early as 2024.
Dude, so they've already figured out how to make Mars hot again and spin the core to generate a magnetic field, right? 😂😂😂 I like sci-fi, but I don't think we can do something in the style of Star Trek or Star Wars. Interstellar travel, terraforming planets, etc. It rather degrades humanity, see the flat earth community and all the religions of the world.. I think that Musk just needs publicity and sponsors, because his real goal is commercial flights to orbit and making money from it.
I thought the same thing, I also saw the movie The Core.
I haven't seen it, I just enjoy reading it. Science/Technology - my hobby.
For God's sake, put that gentleman in the institution where he belongs!
You should go to the institute. What have you done to laugh at Elon here?
...every comment on the article is hate from people who have never accomplished anything to a person who is trying to push the boundaries of what is possible. I do not understand that
Well, if you read the article, it must be clear to you that the idea is not the product of a completely clear mind.
Look, Čenda, I've already done it.. 😉
Bobays X hundred years ago, they would have said the same about someone who said we would be able to fly :D
And does the fool realize that the temperature conditions there are somewhat extreme to live there? :D
Temperature conditions are proportional to the density of the atmosphere. So, theoretically, the temperature would also change with the atmosphere.
Well, I would believe that the upper limit, which is around 30°C, will stabilize somehow, but I don't really believe that the temperature conditions would change so that the lowest temperature limit, which is around -140°C, would also rise
and earth's gravity create how? :D
No way, Earth gravity can't be created on Mars because it's Mars :-)
The fool's PR works as it is. It is necessary to steam off somewhere every now and then, how else can he sell would-be visionary subsidized crap. If he does not have the IQ of a pumpkin, he must know that without a magnetic field, even if he conjures up a sufficient amount of CO2, which is not even there, no one will be protected from UV radiation. Movement without a spacesuit really entertained Delusions for fans without basic physics knowledge. buy the Chinese Visionary Flamethrower instead
