Planet Mars is projected to be a human colony. Later, when the Earth increasingly damaged and could no longer habitable. To realize the plan, required perinti volunteers who dare to be first on the red planet.
The journey from Earth to Mars is estimated only took 10 months, but there was no chance to go home.
Not only the face of the Martian environment of uncertainty, with no oxygen, no water, volunteers also must be ready to face the condition of alienation, far from Earth and to other people. A condition that has never faced before in human history.
Are there people that desperate to volunteer for missions to Mars? Apparently there.
Special issue of Journal of Cosmology describes in detail how the funds needed for one-way to Mars about 20 years. A total of 400 readers offer themselves as volunteers.
Editor of the journal, Lana Tao said he was surprised by the response of readers. "E-mails with a desire to volunteer is very surprising. At first we thought this is just a joke, but after receiving many e-mails are equipped personal qualifications, and the reason they joined. We are aware, they are serious," said he, as the site loaded FoxNews. com.
What makes these people willing to volunteer to Mars? "I have a desire to explore the universe since childhood, and knew exactly what kind of rocket work," said one volunteer, Peter Greaves told FoxNews.com. Greaves is the father of three children.
Greaves added: "I imagine life on Mars would be so amazing, scary, lonely, narrow, and busy."
"Not like on Earth, I could no longer sit on the banks of the river, looked amazed landscape, hugging my friends, took a deep breath in fresh air. But my experience will be very different from 6 or 7 billion people on this planet ... commensurate with what is left. "
Also on the list, 69-year-old computer programmer, a student from Texas, 45-year-old nurse, pastor Paul Gregersen, and Clarno pastor of Zion United Methodist Church.
They declare themselves ready to leave Earth permanently.
"In line with the increasing human membludaknya, the only thing that makes sense is to explore the possibility of humans living elsewhere in the universe," said pastor Paul Gregersen.
"I have a feeling, a spiritual problem will arise among the crew. The early explorers on Earth also always carry a cleric."
However, the psychologist who worked for the U.S. space agency, NASA warned not only of spiritual matters that will be faced by the pioneers on Mars.
"It will be a long period of isolation and confinement," said Albert Horrison who has studied the psychological astronauts since 1970.
He asserted, life on Mars will not as romantic as one might imagine. "After the joy of rocket launches, and the sensation set foot on Mars, would be very difficult to avoid depression. All relationships with family, friends, and everything that is familiar, disconnected."
Every day, he added, will run boring. Although well prepared and equipped than the Earth, the crew of course will face unexpected problems, which may not be overcome. "One by one the crew will be old, sick, and die."
Horrison warned, there should be public and political support in this mission. If not, this mission will only end in death.
Not daring enough capital
Ready mentally and courageously volunteering is certainly a good thing. However, not daring enough capital. NASA spokesman James Hartsfield terms refer to the filing of the application's space agency astronaut who posted it - though not necessarily finance the project of NASA to Mars.
For now, the requirements to become an astronaut is: have a bachelor's of science, engineering, or mathematics, have a professional experience.
NASA astronauts also have to undergo 4 to 5 years of training before becoming involved in space missions. This training includes intense physical tests.
The candidate astronauts also have to follow military defense training before starting the water flying syllabus. (Pet)
