Go Travel Return to Planet Mars, $ 500 Thousand

WASHINGTON - Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SpaceX, Elon Musk revealed more details about the cost of round trip to the planet Mars below the approximately $ 500 thousand. Engineers and entrepreneurs engaged in this space rockets and capsules have been developed for the purpose.

The existence of an aircraft carrier or the possible convening of advanced rocket space travel to the planet Mars at a low price. Musk himself is one of the new partners in the commercial division, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He built the system to place cargo and crew to the space station


The aircraft carrier is a capsule called Dragon and Falcon 9 rockets. It is hoped both will give a full demonstration of the first time next April. Both will be flown into orbit unmanned outpost. As reported by the BBC.

"My vision is to fully use the rocket transportation system between Earth and Mars that can refuel on Mars (automatically). This is very important, so you do not have to carry fuel when going there (Mars), "he said.

In a discussion, a businessman from California, said a key breakthrough technology to dramatically lower the cost of access is a mission to the red planet. According to him, this would be a realistic financial outlook.

"The whole system (should) be used again. Nothing removed, it is very important because that way, you can reduce costs," he explained.

"We probably will reveal the overall strategy later this year with more detail. But I'm pretty sure it could work and in the end we can offer a trip to Mars that the average person is able (to do). Let's say, an average person capable of having collected savings (money), "he added.

Current bid on Mars travel is quite tempting. Musk just says approximately $ 500 thousand and the figure is not the opening price. Later, the cost of a ticket on the system of technology is completely cooked can only operate for approximately the next decade or even 15 years.

On the other hand, predictions of the first flight to transport the crew may not occur until 2020. A NASA mission with a crew to the red planet is unlikely to occur until 2030. It takes time to develop the technology until it is completely ready to be launched commercially.

NASA also expects big things from Musk and the team. Then NASA encourages the government to disburse more money in 2013 to seed the development of commercial space systems from SpaceX it.
