According to SpaceX says it will fly a spacecraft to Mars as soon as 2018 (2016), this article is mainly about landing an unnamed spaceship on the Martian surface or it can be told that the SpaceX is trying to explore the Red planet to make a preparation for transferring people to Mars. The author states that this huge ambitious campaign is a collaboration of SpaceX and NASA. NASA has said that the agency provides some useful technology for the American industry without any charge but in return NASA would get reports of the Martian exploration if the campaign is perfectly completed. However, the US has spent large amount of money from decades to decades to try robotic experiments to reach the Red planet surfaces which the author said there were about 43 experiments but only 18 experiments have been successes. Also the American spacecraft industry ,SpaceX , is currently working on creating new Dragon spacecraft that would carry people in it not just cargo, which mean this new invention is going to need more sufficient engines, heavy body and developed machines. If this invention came out as a real spacecraft, it's going to be the world's most powerful rocket. Moreover, in the original article, writer said "On its website, SpaceX says that the Falcon Heavy rocket 'was designed from the outset to carry humans into space and restores the possibility of flying missions with crew to the moon or Mars.' " which shows that the industry has a serious plan on transferring people to live in the new planet before the world would have violent suffer from disasters. However, this collaboration would take a long time to achieve their goals, they're still looking forward to the result and even more have announced that this experiment is going to be success as soon as 2018.

My Yes/No question is:
Do you think SpaceX's spaceship will be able to reach Mars in 2018?
My answer is:
Yes, I think the new invention would be able to reach Mars.
As you have seen from the summary of this article, this spacecraft is a Dragon kind which means it has more power than any other kinds of spaceship and even more the industry is working on developing this spaceship to be more sufficient and most powerful. With big help from biggest space agency as NASA, the equipment the agency has provided for this American industry is going to be useful for the new invention. If we look through the benefits which this American industry has received from NASA is much more than needed but the thing is this industry is going to need specialists and engineers to work on designing the body to be most effective when it's flying out in the space.
The reason why this rocket is going to be most powerful rocket, I think it's because the engine and the machine need to work together to be able to carry tons of people out in the space and reach the Red planet surface which means the engine right now has not yet reach the solution of carrying loads of people in the middle of the space, the rocket is going to run out of the engine before reaching Mars. However as they said that they're working on creating new Dragon spacecraft which would include contributing new sufficient engine and with the help of big agency and the support in financial sources, the industry will be able to reach their own's goals
But I'm not saying it would be able to explore Mars, I think that's going to need morethan a Dragon spacecraft. As I have learned from my courses, to explore a planet you need to set up the station in that planet first then you're going to need another kind of spaceship which is smaller and faster to fly inside the planet. SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft may be able to reach Mars in 2018 but might not be back to send the report to NASA in time they have planned in case if the engine and machines are not sufficient enough or possibly might never be back to the world which resemble failed robotic experiments that NASA had attempted to try so many times over a big while.

I think that the spaceship might not reach the Mars. However, if this project fail, there will be more possibility to success for the next project. The more they test, the more we're closer to the Mars.
ReplyDeleteI don't think i'm totally agree with you as i have read from the article that the industry got their equipment from NASA, as I'm currently working on a project about NASA, I believe in the ability of NASA's equipment and the ability of those people who're building up the spaceship. I think it would be able to reach the Red planet but I'm not sure if it would be able to explore Mars as it's so difficult that no one has ever explored the whole planet yet. But yeah i agree with there's more possibility ti success because they will learn from their failures and mistakes.
DeleteI wish they can make it happen. From your information, we have a chance get more data from Mars in the next 2 years. If possible, I really want to know that are there any living things on Mars.
Deletewe can not confirm if there are any living things in mars or not as they haven't define the living things out of the world as a living things yet. But i wish it could reach the Red planet first and land safely on the surface. Getting inside Mars would be challenging for this Industry as it's preparing only for landing on the surface. However, i still wish someone could reach and build up a house in that planet!

ReplyDeleteI agree with you that spaceship will be able to reach Mars in 2018.Because I think that nowadays innovation and technology are improving year by year and the advance of innovation will ease this mission to succeed.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that i wish i could be able to see what they're using to produce the engine of this spaceship though since it's the most powerful rocket!
DeleteYour post is interesting because I think the story regarding astronomy and space exploration is really exciting.
ReplyDeleteRegretfully, I’m not qualified enough to make a good answer (guess) for your question. But it might be true as what you expect. NASA would have the advanced technology to do reach Mars soon.
This post reminds me of the recent news about the satellite CubeSat designed and invented by the U.S. primary school students. How amazing they are! Although it is not the great, advanced satellite, it was made by such genius students. Have you ever read it?
