Intergalactic Colonization - How Will It Change The World
In the far future, humans will live on many different worlds. We’ll use space ships to explore new places, trade goods, and even fight wars (although I would like to avoid this). But how will we get there? And what would life be like in another galaxy?
Why Is Interstellar Travel Important?
Humans need to leave Earth because our planet is becoming too crowded. There aren’t enough resources to sustain everyone. If we stay here, we’re going to destroy ourselves. So why not go somewhere else?
And also the life of our solar system is limited. In about 5 billions years our sun will run out of fuel and will become a red giant. At that time the solar system will be destroyed and life on Earth will be over. So we need to leave the Earth and find a new home.
The Benefits Of Interplanetary Travel
We’ve been talking about space colonization for years now. And while there are still some big questions about how we would do it, one thing is clear: we need to start thinking about it sooner rather than later.
The benefits of interplanetary travel are many. First of all, it will allow us to explore other planets and moons. Perhaps we will find a new home for our species, or maybe we will find some resources we can use. It’s also important to note that space travel opens up new opportunities for business. For business it's a long way to go.
We all know why we want to explore the universe. It is just because we wanna explore it and discover new places and uncover mysteries. For me this is the first reason why I want to explore space, the second is for civilization and that’s important as well. “So tell me what are your priorities for exploring space”?
How Do We Go About It?
There are two main ways we might go about it. One option is to send people out into space as soon as possible. This approach has its pros and cons. On the plus side, sending people out into space is relatively inexpensive. However, it also means that we won’t be able to keep them safe until they reach their destination.
Currently scientists are researching the effects of microgravity on the human body. People who go to space stations or rather we should call them ‘astronauts’, have been researching for quite some time, and it is found that it can be deadly if the human body is exposed to microgravity for a long time.
Our bone density decreases a lot and makes us prone to osteoporosis or bone fractures. Well there are other dangers of traveling through space such as radiation through the Sun, tiny asteroids that lurk here and there as well as any personal defect.
Only with a lot of research and advanced technology will we be able to survive the dangers of space. Elon Musk’s SpaceX aims to send humans to Mars by 2029. NASA’s mission to send humans to Mars is set to be after 2030.
“Whatever anyone would say, I believe that we will definitely reach other planets in the future, and in the future ahead of us we will be able to colonize other worlds.”
How Much Would It Cost?
Of course it will cost a lot! The cost of building a rocket is already very high, and if we are sending humans through rockets or space shuttles, our priority will be the safety of people inside of the space shuttle. It will cost billions of dollars to build a rocket capable of carrying humans to Mars, well not to mention an intergalactic travel. NASA estimates that it will cost $100 billion to send humans to Mars.
Although the main part is the technology and fuel, we are all living in a society with a complex network of security and laws. Whatever the cost will be, it is not more important than the lives of the people on the spaceship, but we are not doing it just for once or for only side travel, we want to make it a journey in reality. That is why affordable cost is important in the construction and payloads.
To make it feasible for everyone, scientists and engineers are working to make a better spacecraft, in terms of efficiency, fuel and cost.
Looking forward to seeing what kind of new spaceships will come in the near future that will take us to mars and interstellar.
Conclusion
It may not be the perfect thing to improve life on the Earth, but eventually humans have to find a way to travel interstellar to find a new habitable planet for the better good of human civilization. Also many of us want to explore the universe, we are curious about what’s coming next. Well whatever, putting this thing aside, we know it's important to have the knowledge of where we are living, what kind of place is it, are there any other life forms besides us, if yes, then are they friend or foe? We maybe want to know our place in the Universe.
We should also consider how we might use these new technologies to benefit humanity as a whole. If we can find ways to make life easier for people living on Earth, then we will have done something good with our technology.
