We all have heard about that very popular electric car
Tesla that has made its way to the road of US quite back.
It is none other than Mr. Elon Reeve Musk
behind this great innovation and creativity.
The main aim of this electric car is to improvise the condition of environment.
This man is highly creative and his innovations are the evidence of that.
SpaceX is another great innovation of Elon Musk which is a Private space
company that mainly aims to reduce the cost of Space transportation.
He also aims to create a colony in Mars so as to
handle the overpopulation problem on the earth.
SpaceX, even though set up long back in 2002 but not widely known
by people and here we have explained more about this SpaceX.
That is, how it aims to change the world.
SpaceX
SpaceX also known as the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation is a privately
funded aerospace company founded by the great innovator Elon Reeve Musk during 2002.
It was then Musk decided to start up his own company when Nasa was failed
to elicit cheap rocket for their project and retuned empty handed.
Elon Musk planned to create his own rocket by then to eliminate this issue.
He started with less number of employees in the beginning,
but later on the number of employees reached to 6000.
SpaceX has achieved several successes with day’s passing on and by now it has
already sent two rockets to the International Space Station successfully.
This Space transportation company is now working
with NASA and they have together made an agreement.
According to the deal, SpaceX will send four Dragon 2 mission to the
ISS every year which will include one crew and three carrying cargo.
SpaceX aims to change the whole world
completely by creating a Colony in the Mars.
This will definitely be helpful and create a great environment no doubt.
The company is trying hard since the beginning and
they have achieved several successes till date.
So, here is list of their achievement.
Achievement of SpaceX:
The company was founded back in 2002 and the first achievement
was witnessed soon just after 6 years of the launch.
The company launched rocket Falcon 1 to the Orbit successfully in 2008.
Next in two years during 2010, SpaceX sent the Dragon spacecraft
to the space which was launched and recycled successfully.
An unmanned Dragon cargo delivered supplied to the ISS in 2012.
SES-8, the very first commercial satellite was launched to the Orbit in 2013.
A Deep space observatory-the DISCOVR was launched in 2015 that can aware people
about the possible impact of the solar activities and the geometrical storm.
Falcon 9 rocket was successfully launched in 2015.
And Falcon Heavy, the very recent rocket that is been successfully
launched is the space vehicle able to carry highest payload.
Falcon Heavy was launched just few days back in the beginning of February.
More about Falcon Heavy is explained here.
Rocket Falcon Heavy
Falcon 9 was successfully launched in 2015 but Falcon
Heavy rocket is the far improved version of it.
This rocket is already launched on February 6 from Cape Canaveral
which is designed to carry heavy weight to earth’s orbit.
Once this rocket become successful, it will help in
carrying forward the Mars and Moon mission easily.
There are several factors why the Falcon Heavy project
is really unique and those are explained below.
The launchpad 39A from where the Falcon heavy rocket left is a historical landmark.
This is the Launch pad from where the Saturn V rocket too left.
This was the rocket through which humans travelled to moon.
The next unique part of the project is the cargo.
Elon Musk sent a cherry Red Tesla roadstar through it which will explode
David Bowie when a shoot will be made to the Sun-centred orbit near Mars.
Finally it is the high stakes that made it really important.
It is true that the rocket is not actually carrying any
expensive Cargo but it is full with high Stakes for safety.
The future goal of SpaceX:
Elon Musk is highly determined to create a colony in Mars
in order to handle the overpopulation issue on the earth.
But it will take some time certainly.
Anyways the company is all set to send its Dragon 2 Spacecraft to Moon this 2018.
While this is quite normal but he also planned
to send two citizens in that spacecraft.
If this happen in reality, then it will break numerous records soon.
The two citizens are already selected and they are funded by NASA.
Once this project becomes successful Elon Musk
is said to send human being in Mars by mid 2020.
So just two more years and we can expect the real change in the world.
There are many like Elon Musk who has
explained the need to create colony in Mars.
The climate is changing really fast while overpopulation
is another big issue which is destroying the environment.
Nothing can be as good as moving people to other planet to handle
this situation on earth and Elon Musk is highly devoted in doing so.
It is true that the size of Mars is one third the size of the Earth.
But it has water, land area and tolerable temperature
which are needed to live by the human beings.
The temperature of Mars varies between 1 degree Fahrenheit to -178 degree F.
And the day is 24.5 hours long in Mars.
The surface area is around 144 trillion
square meters that are good for development.
Also plenty of metals are available there such as gold, platinum, silver etc.
So, people can easily start business.
Overall, Mars is a perfect next home for mankind and Elon Musk is just
helping us to reach the next home soon through his SpaceX project.
