Sekuyisikhathi eside sazi ukuthi zonke izinhlaka zesikhala emhlabeni zigxiliswe ohlotsheni olusha lomjaho wasemkhathini wokuyisa umuntu eMars. Ngokuyinhloko ngoba kunezinkinga eziningi okufanele zixazululwe, okubandakanya nesidingo sokutshala imali eningi ukuzixazulula, ngokwesibonelo naku-NASA, izinkampani ezizimele zacelwa ukuthi zibasize ngandlela thile. Ngenxa yalokhu namuhla ngokwesibonelo kufanele sikhulume ngakho I-SpaceX, inkampani ephethwe ngu-Elon Musk, abaphothula imininingwane yabo umsebenzi wokuqala ongenamuntu ku-Mars, okuzokwenzeka ngo-2018.
Ngalo mqondo, namuhla, ngoLwesibili, ngoSepthemba 27, u-Elon Musk uqobo uhlela ukunika ingqungquthela ithuba lokugubha i-67th International Astronautical Congress ebibanjelwe eGadalajara (Mexico) lapho ezosinikeza imininingwane emisha ngale phrojekthi eyingqayizivele ezophela phakathi 2024 nalokho okufanele kube yi uhambo lokuqala oluya eMars. Omunye wamandla alo msebenzi wenziwa namuhla njengoba inkampani yaseMelika isanda kuqala ukuhlola izinjini zayo ezintsha, ezizobe ziphethe ukushayela i-rocket ezothatha umuntu iye eplanethi elingumakhelwane.
'Raptor'igama elikhethelwe injini yeplanetary eyenziwe i-SpaceX.
Injini yenzelwe lo msebenzi, ibhabhadiswe ngokusemthethweni njenge 'Raptor', ivelele, phakathi kwezinye izinto ngobukhulu be'Merlin', injini namuhla amandla i-Falcon 9 noma, njengoba kumenyezelwe kusuka ku-SpaceX, le prototype entsha inamandla afinyelela kathathu ngaphezulu ngenkathi igcina ubukhulu obulinganayo. Lokhu ngokuyisisekelo kusho ukuthi sikhuluma ngenjini ekwazi ukunikela nge- Phusha amandla afinyelela kuma-meganewton ama-3 ngenkathi i-'Merlin 'yaneliseka cishe ngama-meganewton angu-0,6.
Ukubuyela engqungqutheleni ngalo lolo suku kusihlwa kuzonikeza u-Elon Musk, obizwa ngokuthi 'Impilo yomuntu yasemaplanethi', kuyo sizotshelwa ngezinsalela zezobuchwepheshe zesikhathi eside okufanele zixazululwe ngokushesha okukhulu ukuze kutholakale ubukhona bomuntu obusimeme obuzinzile eMars, ingqophamlando eyayizodlula kude nokufika emhlabeni, a ingxenye elula ngaphakathi kokuthunywa, ngakho-ke, njengoba uMusk ememezela, ukuthi kusukela manje kufanele siqale ukucabanga nokuthuthukisa umqondo esizokwenza nokuthi sizophila kanjani kwi-Mars uma sesifinyelele kuyo.
Uma unesifiso sokubona ingqungquthela ka-Elon Musk, kuvidiyo etholakala ngezansi nje kwale migqa ungayibona bukhoma. Vele ukutshele ukuthi kuzokwenzeka ngo-13.30: XNUMX ntambama ngesikhathi saseCentral Mexico futhi 20.30:XNUMX Isikhathi senhlonipho saseSpain.
