Scientist Stephen Hawking reports that the colonization of Mars will take place over the next 100 years. This statement was made during a conversation with foreign journalists.
Humanity will be able to completely colonize Mars in the next 100 years, according to British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking. The main reason for the colonization of Mars is the similarity of the planet with the Earth, so mankind, if necessary, can move to the Red Planet due to a worldwide catastrophe or other cataclysm. An easier solution is to explore the moon, but there is the possibility of creating an autonomous colony on Mars.
Stephen Hawking reports that for the large-scale colonization of Mars, it is necessary to allocate a huge amount of money, including the need to acquire the necessary knowledge to preserve life in the colonies from the effects of cosmic radiation and other radiation from space. Earlier, Russian scientists reported that one flight to Mars would require at least $ 10 billion, excluding the return to earth. Hawking is confident that a large-scale catastrophe may occur on earth in the future, which will lead to the death of mankind, which is why now scientists need to turn their eyes to space and explore other planets.
