Why Is It So Tough To Go To Mars And How Long To Get There?

  • Make an effort, please... Try to imagine the expansion of human civilization into space as if it were a child hopping from one rock to another, crossing the ford of a river. The first stone - or the first leap, the one that allowed confidence to build - was quite close to the shore, just 400 thousand kilometers away. We're talking about the Moon, of course, a large satellite conveniently close to home, almost inviting us not to fear.
    But the next stone, just emerging from the water, is a thousand times farther than the first... A truly frightening leap. And we're talking about Mars, obviously. Here, the child stops to reflect. He's afraid, even though he still wants to try. But how? What are the chances of success?
    In plain terms, reading certain articles suggests that many volunteers are willing to jump, no matter what happens... But is it true? And has anyone warned them that going to Mars is not like going to the Moon? Are they aware that the estimated duration of the journey from Earth to Mars is not 3 days but several months?

    It’s too far. And there is nothing on Mars except dry rock. A bit like California

    Mars is the only world humans could visit without dying. That's why it has to be colonized. After that there are only moons around the gas giants left.

    It is a pity about the incorrect pronunciation of "kilometre" - the correct way is the same as you would pronounce centimetre and millimetre.

    Very interesting little engineering challenge..Tell me again why exactly a manned mission is a necessity and much preferred to an unmanned highly mechanized,heavily monitored mission.
    What exactly does NASA contribute to the improvement of life on earth and how will the 100’s of billions necessary to fund this attempt will improve the lifestyle of Americans.
    Are there any improvements to American life these engineers,astrophysicists and bureaucrats might tackle on earth that would be more beneficial and useful than an expensive project for understanding the complexity of Travel and survival within the Solar System.

      Who is stating that manned missions to Mars are a necessity?
      As far as NASA contributions (according to NASA's site): NASA’s unique mission provides benefits in big and small ways. Dollars spent for space exploration create jobs, jumpstart businesses, and grow the economy. Our innovations improve daily life, advance medical research, support disaster response, and more. We’re constantly evolving and finding new ways to add value. NASA’s economic impact is nationwide, extending to all 50 states and the District of Columbia."
      Knowledge gained and innovations extend beyond the United States. Regarding our tax dollars, I'm more concerned about military spending. For 2023, the NASA budget was around 25 billion. The military budget around over 850 billion.
