Recently a group of
private investors have come up with a plan to send several missions to the
Planet Mars. Mankind for the first time
since the early seventies will be exploring space beyond just above our
atmosphere. In the early seventies
mankind, (The United States and the Soviet Union,) finished the last of the
Lunar expeditions.
This new group is
going to be international in scope and privately ran and funded, so there
shouldn’t be any governmental influences getting in the way. The first mission will be to deliver a large
rover to drive around and find the ideal spot for the colony. The next missions will be pods with supplies. Later missions will include another rover
which will be designed to assemble the pods into a habitat for the first colony
members. Then will come the first humans
to not just visit but to spend their final days on the planet. They plan to have people there and living on
the red planet by 2023. Very ambitious
goals to say the least.

Colonizing Mars and Space Travel
One note I want to make here is that by affecting the
gravity of an object it doesn’t affect the actual mass of the object but it
does change other variables affecting the object within time space which might
be part of the key to achieving the desired ends. I.E. if you nullify the effects of gravity it
would take much less energy to propel the object to a specified speed because
it isn’t fighting the resultant forces of gravity within that specified
area. Just a thought.
The reason I mention all this is by becoming familiar with this
interaction and being able to manipulate the different aspects of the right
equations we could achieve possible results like flying through vast areas of
space with virtually no loss in time as we perceive it, making it possible to
visit faraway places repeatedly in our normal life span. We may be able to achieve near the speed of
light with a ship that could carry people or supplies, or even possibly come up
with the magical equation that jumps areas in multiples of the speed of light.
When private
enterprises get to the point where Aerospace companies are building ships for
outer space with the special abilities in regards to moving through space or
across vast distances very quickly then colonies could be set up in different
places for resource recovery and collection.
Shipping companies would be building and running ships between the
colonies hauling people and supplies to the colonies and bring back natural
resources on the return trips.
This in effect would be creating an ongoing time travel
system. The people traveling to these
colonies at near the speed of light or at multiples of light speed would age
slower than those of us left behind here on Earth. While they would be able to travel and work
and even return in their own lifetime the people they knew here on Earth would
be long gone by the time they returned.
They would have effectively traveled into Earth’s future. So much so that it could produce a scenario
where a ship that left Earth unloaded its cargo, reloaded and returned to Earth
could have an outdated ship that would be in need of an entire refit with newer
and better technology upon its return to Earth.
It should be a very exciting time to live in and travel about in. I know this sounds preposterous but I also
remember seeing a newspaper clipping describing how with these new horseless
carriages we wouldn’t be able to get much faster than thirty miles per hour
because we wouldn’t be able to breathe in them.
They said the sound barrier was impossible to break.
Since the dawn of time man has wanted to conquer the skies
like the birds and in the beginning of the 1900’s we did. Look how far we have come since then. The only thing that will limit our growth as
a species technologically and geographically is our own ignorance and inability
to work towards achieving the dreams of people who dare to attempt the
impossible!

I dunno. As cool as time travel would be...it also seems dangerous. Didn't you watch Back to the Future... ;-) Great post!
