Humans could have colonized Mars decades ago – Astronaut Chris Hadfield

Chris Hadfield is widely known for his travels in space. Hadfield, between the years 1995 and 2013, flew inside 2 space shuttles from NASA as well as from a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. He lived aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for nearly one hundred and sixty-six days

Since then, Hadfield retired as an astronaut, however, recently, he spoke of a space mission. Hadfield said in a statement: "We could send people to Mars decades ago." In addition, he said, "The technology that led us to the moon when I was young, this technology can take us to Mars." 19659002] Scientists such as Wernher von Braun, the chief architect of NASA's famous Saturn V probe, worked to plan a crewed mission on the Red Planet in 1952. This event was near the end of the day. fifteen years or so before the initial Apollo mission.

Nevertheless, Hadfield stated that possessing the ability to travel in no way implies that it would be safe, simple, and that it was worth risking one's life. He explained: "The majority of the astronauts we send in these missions would not do it.They would die."

There are many risks to traveling to the red planet, which are for the most part similar to those NASA knew in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, astronauts were prone to lose their lives at every step.

The Apollo 1 fire incident killed 3 astronauts on Earth at the time of a training procedure. The US Space Agency has almost lost the crew of Apollo 13 mid-flight. Apollo 11 also faced a similar situation. He almost lost his fuel before docking on the surface of the moon.

Later, long-term problems were also noted. Astronauts have been seen in danger of health due to long exposure to radiation in the deep space.

Hadfield said, "Mars is farther than most people think." Mars is nearly six hundred times further away from Earth. the distance of the moon from our planet. A round trip to the red planet would take nearly five hundred days or nearly three years inside a tiny tube.

Hadfield says that it increases the threats of radiation, starvation, explosions, as well as other problems. In addition, technologies that could prevent these problems, such as hibernation capsules, bioregenerative systems to support life, and light and promising protection, do not actually exist.
