Le colonisation de Marte


(Languages of this post: Interlingua, English)

Le planeta Marte offere multe problemas pro le possibile colonisation human. Illo es 64 (sexanta quatro) milliones de kilometros distante del terra. Su atmosphera consiste in grande parte de anhydrido carbonic, que nos non pote respirar, e Marte non ha multe nitrogeno, que es necessari pro le cultivation de plantas. Le temperatura medie es -60 (minus sexanta) grados Celsius, comparabile con Siberia in le hiberno.

Totevia, le professor Christopher McKay, del Centro de Recercas Ames in California, crede que, con patientia, le colonisation de Marte es possibile e avantagiose. Inter su ressources natural, Marte ha, in le forma de glacie, multe aqua, circa 2.000 (duo mille) kilometros cubic de illo. Le planeta ha anque carbon, hydrogeno, oxygeno, nitrogeno, phosphoro, e sulfure.

McKay ha delineate un projecto pro le terraformation de Marte in cinque stadios. Le projecto comenciarea con un expedition ab le terra, que arrivara a Marte inter le annos 2015-2030.

Durante le secunde stadio de cinquanta annos, speculos fabricate del plastico Mylar dirigera le radios del sol al coperaturas de glacie polar, que irrorate de pulvore de carbon, liberarea gases como anhydrido de carbon, oxygeno, nitrogeno, e aqua ab le crusta del planeta. Gases de chlorofluorocarburo crearea un effecto de conservatorio, producente, in consequentia, un altiamento del temperatura a -40 (minus quaranta) Celsius.

Al tertie stadio, de 35 (trenta cinque) annos, plantas artificialmente modificate geneticamente pro devenir plus robuste poterea converter anhydrido carbonic in carbon e oxygeno. Isto producerea le prime nubes, un cambio del color del celo de rosate a blau, e un temperatura de -15 (minus dece-cinque) grados Celsius.

Durante le 15 (dece cinque) annos sequente, le fusion del coperaturas polar de glacie producerea fluvios, lacos, e finalmente oceanos con plancton. Al terra apparerea forestes de arbores semperverde.

Al stadio final, in le annos circa 2130-2170, le temperatura attingerea 10 (dece) grados, le atmosphera serea respirabile, e colonisation ab le Terra poterea establir le agricultura e operationes minerari.

Le costos de iste interprisa sera multo grande. On estima que le projecto costarea plus que mille milliones de libras sterling durante un periodo de plus de 150 (cento cinquanta) annos. Ma illo poterea dar nos informationes utile del evolution de nostre proprie planeta e poterea formar un nove base pro le exploitation profitabilissime del asteroides que es multo ric in minerales preciose.

A Possible Strategy for the Colonization of Mars

(The planet) Mars offers many problems for possible human colonization. It is sixty-four million kilometers away from the earth. Its atmosphere consists (largely)/(in large part) of carbon dioxide, which we can't breathe, and Mars does not have a lot of nitrogen, which is necessary for the cultivation of plants.

Still, Prof. Christopher McKay, of the Ames Research Center in California, believes that, with patience, the colonization of Mars is possible and advantageous. Among its natural resources, Mars has, in the form of ice, a lot of water, about two thousand cubic kilometers of it. The planet also has carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.

McKay has outlined a project for the terraforming of Mars in five stages. The project would start with an expedition from earth, which would arrive at Mars between the years 2015 (twenty fifteen) and 2030 (twenty thirty).

During the second fifty-year stage, mirrors made of the plastic Mylar would reflect the rays of the sun to the polar ice caps, which, sprinkled with powdered coal, would liberate gases such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, and water from the crust of the planet. Cholorofluorocarbons would create a greenhouse effect, producing, as a result, a temperature increase to -40 (minus forty) degrees Celsius/centigrade.

In the third stage, about thirty-five years long, plants artificially modified genetically to become more robust would be able to convert carbon dioxide into carbon and oxygen. This would produce the first clouds, a color change in the sky from pink to blue, and a temperature of -15 (minus fifteen) degrees Celsius/centigrade.

During the following fifteen years, the melting of the polar ice caps would produce rivers, lakes, and finally oceans with plankton. On the land (there) would appear forests of evergreen trees.

In the final stage, in about the years 2130 (twenty-one thirty) to 2170 (twenty-one seventy), the temperature would go up to ten degrees Celsius/centigrade, the atmosphere would be breathable, and colonization from the earth could establish agriculture and mining operations.

The price of this enterprise would be very high. It is estimated that the project would cost more than 150 (one hundred fifty) pounds sterling in a period of 150 (one hundred fifty) years. But it could give us useful information on the evolution of our own planet and could form a new base for the very profitable exploitation of asteroids that are very rich in precious minerals.
