Relocation to Mars will not solve the problems humans – scientists

The need to send people into space disappeared.

The landing of “Apollo 11” on the moon was an extraordinary achievement. But as soon as the US did, defeating the USSR in the race to Earth satellite, everything stopped. Because I lost the motivation, why would a country spend such large sums on space exploration, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to UNIAN.

About it told the British astrologist, astrophysicist and chief astronomer Royal Martin Rees. According to him, the need to send people into space disappeared.

“If you have built the Hubble telescope now, you would not send people to install it. You would have sent robots. I hope manned space missions will continue. But such a risky mission must hold private companies. If I were American, I would not waste taxpayers ‘ money on a manned program of NASA,” said Rice, adding that he would be better encouraged to do the work in private space companies such as SpaceX’s Elon musk and Blue Origin’s Jeff Bezos.

“Probably by the end of the century, several adventurers will live on Mars. Musk said that he wants to die on Mars, but not from the action of the environment. And it’s not a crazy wish,” said British astrophysicist.

He also advised humanity to leave the illusion that the colonization of Mars will help him to escape from the changes on Earth. Thus, according to Rice, in this issue, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking was wrong.

“It is a mistake to think that we can solve earth’s problems by relocation to Mars. And I completely disagree with Musk and my colleague Stephen Hawking on this. Because to deal with climate change on Earth is minor compared with the terraforming of Mars,” the scientist explained.
