MUSKU PROWADŹ NA MARSA!

Elon Musk ma dziwne pomysły. Chce drążyć tunele pod miastami żeby usprawnić ruch samochodowy, sprzedaje czapki i miotacze ognia. Ma też wizję kolonizacji Marsa. 

Kilka lat temu ogłosił, że jego firma kosmiczna firma SpaceX stworzy drugą co do mocy rakietę w historii podboju kosmosu. 6 lutego 2018 roku rakieta Falcon Heavy oderwała się od ziemi, poleciała w przestrzeń kosmiczną z ładunkiem w postaci samochodu (a jakże) firmy Tesla. 

Dwa silniki pomocniczne pomyślnie przetrwały start i wróciły na Ziemię. Wiśniowa Tesla ze Starmanem (kombinezonem kosmicznym) za kierownicą leci obecnie w kierunku marsjańskiej orbity. Znajdzie się tam za sześć miesięcy. Muskowi pogratulowali jego konkurenci w kosmicznym wyścigu (Jeff Bezos i Richard Branson). 

Co dalej? NASA pozostaje jedną z najważniejszych organizacji na Ziemi pod kątem doświadczenia i zaplecza ale jak widać bez udziału i wizji ludzi z prywatnym kapitałem nie da się obecnie wiele osiągnąć w komercjalizacji kosmosu. 

Firma Muska będzie ściśle współpracowała z państwową rządową organizacją nie dlatego, że tego chce ale dlatego, że jej się to opłaca.

Jako ludzkość zrobiliśmy duży krok do przodu w kierunku kolonizacji Marsa. Pytanie czy już naprawdę wiemy po co.
