The SpaceX Crew Dragon - Elon's First Step to Mars | Answers With Joe
Elon Musk's plan to get humans to Mars can only be achieved if they first get people to space. For this, they have built the Crew Dragon capsule, which will finally start testing at the end of this year, with the first astronauts scheduled for Spring 2019.
SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule is a manned version of their Dragon cargo capsule. Fully autonomous with room for 7 passengers, this is the most advanced space craft ever built. Along with the new Boeing Starliner, this will give NASA 2 different options to send up astronauts for the first time in their history.
Launching astronauts into space from American soil would be the first time that's happened since 2011, when the famed Space Shuttle flew its last mission. The first two astronauts to fly on Crew Dragon are Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, two seasoned astronauts with years of experience between them.
We will not be going to mars for at least 100 years. I mean a human crew
That's a little longer than I would say, but I agree it's going to be delayed painfully long.
What do you think so? Almost all potential problems are already solved. And there is enough crazy people in the world, to try this much earlier...
Just my prediction that many issues will come up. The government isn’t going to let a hunch of humans outside there control in space
First of all - which government? :)
yeah... probably, but many issues also come up with other Mars missions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missions_to_Mars
but still, there are more and more new missions, and more and more problems are already solved.
First people on Mars will be remembered forever. A lot of people want to be remembered ;)
