Ngaso sonke isikhathi ubheka phezulu esibhakabhakeni sasebusuku futhi uzibuze ukuthi yini enye ekhona lapho kithi? Wake wacabanga ukushiya ukunethezeka kweplanethi yethu yasekhaya futhi uhambe uye kude kangaka, ubize le ndawo entsha ngokuthi ikhaya? Yebo, konke lokho bekuvuleleka ukuze kube ngokoqobo, futhi abantu kungekudala bazoshiya ukunethezeka kweplanethi yabo yasekhaya bayokwakha ikoloni eplanethi iMars. Ukuhambela eMars kuthathe umcabango wethu esabelana ngawo futhi izingqondo eziphezulu kwezesayensi njengamanje zisebenza nohlelo, uhlelo oluzoshintsha umbono wethu ngempilo nomhlaba njengoba sazi. “Into ephawuleka kakhulu ukuthi sinobuchwepheshe bokwenza lokhu okungenani iminyaka engamashumi amathathu, kusho uStephen Petranek, Umbhali we Sizophila Kanjani Ku-Mars. ” UPetranek uqhubeka akuchaze lokho “Ukuhlola kukuDNA yethu. Ukuze sisinde, kufanele sidlulele ngale kweplanethi yethu yasekhaya. ”

MARS isethwe kokubili ngokuzayo nangosuku lwanamuhla. Ngokuxoxa izindaba okumnandi nokuhlanganiswa kwezingcezu zamadokhumentari kanye nedrama ebhaliwe lolu chungechunge luyochaza kabusha ithelevishini futhi lubhekele yonke iminyaka nezintshisekelo. Lolu chungechunge luzokushiya onqenqemeni lombhede wakho, ushaywe ngumoya, uzibuze, ngizoya nini eMars? MARS kuzovula amasango ezikhukhula ukuze isizukulwane esisha sezingqondo sibe nentshisekelo ekuhloleni umkhathi futhi sethule imisebenzi yabaningi, kuyilapho isizukulwane esidala sizophinda sizwe amaphupho acacile okuba osomkhathi njengoba babenza besebancane. Lo mcimbi onezingxenye eziyisithupha uzokhuluma ngendaba ethokozisayo yemishini eqanjiwe eya eMars ngo-2033. Uchungechunge lwaqoshwa ngasekuqaleni konyaka eBudapest naseMorocco. Kulethwe ingxenye ebhalwe phansi yalolu chungechunge kwakuyizingqondo ezivelele kakhulu zomhlaba okwakumele kuxoxwe nazo ngekhamera, ezazingakaze zenziwe, kuze kube manje. MARS izoqala ukukhonjiswa e-US nakwamanye amazwe emazweni angama-170 futhi isakaze ngezilimi ezingama-45. I-Executive Produced by Brian Grazer noRon Howard, kuza uchungechunge olu-massawe kahle oluzobheka izithako ezibalulekile ekufikeni nasekufikeni kule planethi ebomvu ezokwaziwa njengekhaya labanye.

USawyer ungusomkhathi onolwazi oye wagibela izinkampani zombili zeNASA nezangasese. Umholi nendoda ezinikele, imishini ye-Mars isibe yindawo yokugxila emsebenzini wakhe. I-iHorror ngomusa yanikezwa ithuba lokukhuluma noBen Cotton ngomlingiswa wakhe uBen kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe okulingisa I-MARS.

iHorror: Isakhiwo salolu chungechunge sangidonsela amehlo. Une-dram-doc, isiqeshana sedrama singene engxenyeni yesayensi. Ufike kanjani kule ndima futhi yini oyithole ithakazelisa kakhulu?

UBen Cotton: Ngifikile kuyo ngendlela owenza ngayo ukuhlolwa okuningi. Ithunyelwe kimi, futhi ngalibuka. Ngirekhode futhi ngahlola futhi ngakuthumela ngaphakathi, futhi lokho kwakukuhle kakhulu. Kwakuthokozisa impela ngoba ukubheka emakhasini onayo iNational Geographic eno-Imagine; unoBrian Grazer noRon Howard. Ngaphezu kwalokho bengisanda kubuka amadokhumentari athile avela kuRadical Entertainment, ngakho-ke konke kungichazele into ebukekayo engiyithandayo. Ngakho-ke kwenzeka kanjalo futhi weza kimi, ngaba nemihlangano embalwa ngakho futhi sahamba! Kimina okwakuthakazelisa ngayo yonke le nto kwakuwukufunda okuthile okusha, umkhumbi-mkhathi kwakuyiphupho nje elijabulisayo ukuwahlola. Uyazi konke okukulo mbukiso kusekelwe eqinisweni. Iningi lalo bengingalazi. Bengingazi ukuthi sinobuchwepheshe obukhona bokuya eMARs eminyakeni engamashumi ayisithupha edlule, kepha bengingazi ukuthi amarokhethi esiwasebenzisayo namuhla ayefana namarokhethi ayesetshenziswa ngaleso sikhathi. Bengingazi ukuthi singasinda ngisho naseMars, ngiyazi ukuthi besilokhu senza ucwaningo neRovers, kepha bengazi ukuthi sizothumela abantu lapho ngokushesha njengoba benjalo. U-Elon Musk uveze ukuthi singafika lapho ngo-2025 noma ngo-2027.

iH: Kuyamangalisa lokho! Lokho kulungile ekhoneni. Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu abaningi abakwazi lokho. Lokhu kufana nokuthile okuvela kumabhayisikobho.

BC: Yebo, uma sesiqale ukudubula kufana nanoma yini. Othile ukukhomba okuthile, futhi kukuyo yonke indawo lapho ubheka khona. Ngaqala ukukubona izindawo ezahlukahlukene futhi mhlawumbe ezinyangeni ezimbili ezedlule uBarack Obama waqala ukukhuluma ngokuya eMars. Uma ifika ezingeni elilingana nalolo sayizi, ucabanga, “oh wow lokhu kuyinto enkulu impela! Lokhu kubuya ngokwedelela kubhekwe phambili ekuboneni kwabantu ukuthi yini engenzeka. ” Ngiyethemba, lo mbukiso uzosiza ukukhulisa lowo muzwa wokumangala nenjabulo futhi uwenze uzizwe unethuba kubantu, ngoba ngokwazi kwami ​​ukuthi kuyenzeka. Akusekho ukumisa manje.

iH: Kuyamangalisa lokho, ngicabanga ukuthi uqinisile ukuthi umbukiso ekugcineni uzodala isasasa lohlelo lwesikhala nesikhala ngokujwayelekile. Eminyakeni edlule kubonakala sengathi sonke silahlekelwe yilokho. Ngiyakhumbula ngisakhula futhi ngifuna ukuba ngusomkhathi, okwakuyiphupho elincane lawo wonke umfana omncane. Kubukeka sengathi konke sekuphelile manje.

BC: Iye yehlisa ijubane. Ngicabanga ukuthi isimangaliso nenjabulo ezwakala lapho useyingane, angicabangi ukuthi isike yaphela, iso lethu lisanda kuqondiswa kabusha kulo isikhashana. Isikhathi eside, besinohlelo lwe-space shuttle olwaluyisikebhe se-orbit esiphansi, esingalokothi sihlose ukudlulela phambili kakhulu kunalokho esasikwenza. Siyekile ukunaka ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukuthi sifike eMars. Ngicabanga ukuthi yisikhathi esijabulisayo leso ngoba sivusa lowo muzwa wokuzijabulisa.

iH: Impela kukhona okungaqondwa yisizukulwane sethu esisha. Akucabangeki kimi ukuthi ngicabanga ukuthi izingane zethu zizoya eMars ngolunye usuku kungekudala.

BC: Yebo, kunjalo impela. Le yinto eyodwa engijabulisayo ngalokhu. Izingane zingabuka lo mbukiso; Kushubile kancane, kepha izingane ezingayibuka manje kuzoba yizo ezinconyelwe ukungena ngo-2033. Ngakho-ke lokho kuyajabulisa, bangakubuka lokhu bese bangena endaweni yesayensi okungenzeka ukuthi bebengakuthokozeli ukungena ngaphambi. Ngicabanga ukuthi isikhathi sipholile impela.

iH: Bekunjani ukuthi udlale umlingiswa oqanjiwe ngomqondo othile kodwa abe ngumlingiswa wangempela ngonyaka ka-2033 endiza eya eMars?

BC: Hhayi-ke, angazi noma ngabe iveze noma iyiphi inselelo ehlukile. Ngokwami, ngizama ukubheka zonke izinhlamvu engizidlalayo njengezingezona ezomgunyathi. Ngaphandle kokuthi mhlawumbe iZombie noma iVampire {Ihlekela} Ucwaningo nje engikwazile ukulwenza nolwazi olunikeziwe, uyazi ukuthi sichithe isikhathi esiningi noDkt. Mae Jemison ongusomkhathi kanye neNASA. Wayengowesifazane wokuqala wase-Afrika-waseMelika eMkhathini; uphethe ama-PhD ayisishiyagalolunye '.

iH: Hewu!

BC: Yebo, ngiyazi? Sichithe isikhathi esiningi naye futhi sithatha ingqondo yakhe futhi sibuze imibuzo. Ufundise zonke izinhlobo zezinto ukuthi kungaba njani ukuba ngusomkhathi. Izinto ezingisizile ukuthi ngibheke umlingiswa njengomuntu wangempela, umlingiswa othuthukiswe ngokuphelele, bekukuhle!

iH: Ngesikhathi uqopha lolu chungechunge iyiphi ingxenye eyinselele enkulu?

BC: Ngingasho ukuthi ingxenye eyinselele kakhulu bekungaba ukushisa. Sizidubule zonke izinto zangaphandle eMorocco ngoJulayi. Kwakunezinsuku lapho kwakungu-125 degrees, futhi lokho kwakungaphambi kokuba i-space suit iqhubeke. Lokho kwakuyinto eyayinselele impela. Ngalolo hlobo lokushisa, uzizwa sengathi uzolahlekelwa yingqondo yakho kancane. Kwakumangalisa ukuthi akekho owenzile, kepha kwakushisa! Sikwazile ukudlula kahle kuyo.

Ingxoxo # 2 

UStephen Petranek - Umbhali

UStephen Petranek ungumbhali nomhleli we Ukuqhamuka Kwezobuchwepheshe Isaziso. UPetranek wakhuluma engqungqutheleni ye-TED ngo-2002 futhi okwesibili ngo-2016. Incwadi yakhe Sizohlala Kanjani Ku-Mars kushicilelwe kulo nyaka odlule. Umsebenzi kaPetrranek uthathe iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amane kanti eminye yemisebenzi yakhe yangaphambilini ibandakanya umhleli omkhulu we Thola Umagazini nomhleli we Umagazini waseWashington Post.

iH: Ngiseyingane, ngangilokhu ngizwa njalo, “Yebo kungenzeka sikwazi ukuya eMars ngolunye usuku, kodwa ngeke ukubone esikhathini sokuphila kwakho,” futhi manje lokhu kuba yiqiniso. Lokhu kumangalisa impela!

UStephen Petranek: Into ephawuleka kakhulu ukuthi sinobuchwepheshe bokwenza lokhu okungenani iminyaka engamashumi amathathu. Ekupheleni kohlelo luka-Apollo uWernher von Braun wayecindezela izindonga zeCongress futhi engqongqoza emnyango kaRichard Nixon ethi, "Siya eMars ngokulandelayo," futhi uNixon wakhetha ukwakha umkhumbi-mkhathi okwakuyinhlekelele. Ukube nje besinengxenye yesine yemali esiyisebenzise ku-shuttle space kungenzeka ukuthi bekuyi-MARS eminyakeni engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili. Kwakukhona isiphakamiso sokubuyiselwa emuva ngonyaka we-1982, kepha kukhona izinto ayengazazi ngaleso sikhathi. Wayene-backups eziningi kakhulu zento yonke engahamba kabi engicabanga ukuthi kalula sasingaba nabantu eMars eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu edlule uma besinentando yokukwenza.

iH: Angikwazi ngisho nokucabanga manje ukuthi ngabe sikuphi manje ukube besikwenzile lokho.

SP: Yebo, yebo ngoba ubuchwepheshe buyahlekisa. Ihlala imile ngaphandle kokuthi inamandla ashukumisayo ngemuva kwayo futhi cishe i-90% yobuchwepheshe obenza izimpilo zethu zibe ngcono njengamanje iphuma kwiMpi Yesibili Yomhlaba kanye nohlelo lwe-Apollo, abantu abaningi abakwazi lokho. Kusuka ezindwangwini kuya ezingutsheni abazigqokile kuya emabhrashini ebhrashi labo lamazinyo kuya kwikhompyutha abayiphatha emaphaketheni abo abayibiza nge-smartphone konke kuvela ohlelweni lwe-Apollo. Kwakumangaza impela ukuthi yini esikuthole kulokho, futhi ukusunduza kobuchwepheshe emuva kokuya eMARS ngeke nje kuphela kwenze izimpilo zethu zibe ngcono, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi njengoba sizama ukubhekana nezinkinga ezihlala eMARS ngicabanga ukuthi empeleni sizothuthukisa ubuchwepheshe lokho kuzokwenza uMhlaba indawo ehlanzeke kakhudlwana.

iH: Ucabanga ukuthi inselelo enkulu kwezobuchwepheshe izoba yini njengoba ihlobene nokuhlala eMars?

SP: Yebo, ayikho inselelo yezobuchwepheshe esingeke sayinqoba kalula, yize eziningi zibiza. Udinga ukudla, indawo yokuhlala, okokugqoka namanzi ukuze uphile emhlabeni. Futhi udinga ukudla, indawo yokuhlala, okokwembatha, amanzi ne-oxygen ukuze uphile nge-MARS. INASA isungule umshini ofana neseli likaphethiloli elibuyela emuva futhi ungasusa ikhabhoni emoyeni we-CO2 eMARS futhi ungakhiqiza umoya-mpilo omsulwa. Leyo nkinga iyaxazululwa. Inkinga yokuthi wonke amanzi aku-MARS aqandisiwe futhi ngezindlela eziningi kunzima ukufinyelela kuwo ngoba iqandisiwe. Lokhu kuxazululwa ngomshini olula onjenge-dehumidifier yezentengiselwano ezoncela umswakama emkhathini weMartian, bese kuvela isimo seMartian, bese kuvela ukuthi isimo seMartian singamaphesenti ayikhulu aswakeme ngamaphesenti angamashumi amahlanu esikhathi njalo ebusuku, ngakho-ke kunamanzi amaningi. Konke esidinga ukukwenza nalokhu kukhona. Inselelo enkulu ukubhekana nemisebe. Kokubili imisebe yelanga nemisebe ye-cosmic. Emhlabeni, sinemagnetosphere evikela emisebeni ye-cosmic futhi sinomoya omkhulu kakhulu osivikela emisebeni yelanga naku-Mars ongenayo. Futhi kuzofanele uhlale ngaphansi komhlaba, noma uzophila ezindaweni ezinodonga obungamamitha angu-16 ubukhulu, futhi konke esikwenzayo eMars kuzofanele kuhlonyelwe iMars. Kuzofanele senze izitini ngokoqobo ku-MARS ukwakha amabhilidi ethu azodinga izindonga ezi-incrediablly ezikulezo zakhiwo noma sizodinga kakhulu ukuhlala ngaphansi komhlaba mhlawumbe emathuneni odaka, izinto ezinjalo.

Azikho izinkinga ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe ngokuphila ngempumelelo kwi-MARS. Kuyindlela ehlukile yokuphila. Iplanethi ibanda kakhulu futhi yomile kufana nokuhlala e-Antarctica ngoba umkhathi mncane kakhulu kunendawo eyodwa kuphela ye-100 yomkhathi womhlaba engenaso isisekelo sokulwa nayo. Isibonelo, umoya opholile abazoba nawo e-Antarctica. Ngakho-ke noma kubanda lapho, awunayo le mimoya enamandla evunguza nxazonke zayo. Ubusuku obumnyama esigxotsheni esiseningizimu phakathi nobusika buba bubi kakhulu kunanoma isiphi isimo sezulu esingahle sicatshangwe eMars. Kunezindawo eMhlabeni lapho sihlangabezane khona nalezi zinto ezifanayo futhi sabhekana nazo kahle kakhulu.

iH: Lokho kuzwakala kufinyeleleka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

SP: Itholakala manje. {Uyahleka}

iH: {Ehleka} Yebo, uqinisile. Kanjani ukuxhumana kusuka eMARS kuya eMhlabeni?

SP: Kuyadabukisa nakanjani. Ngokuyinhloko sithembele kumagagasi omsakazo kungaba kuhle uma bengakwazi ukwakha uhlobo oluthile lwedivayisi ekhombisa ukukhanya. Inkinga nge-laser enhle kakhulu, ehlakaniphile, enhle ukuthi ugongolo lukhula ngokushesha okukhulu, ngakho-ke ukuxhumana okulula phakathi koMhlaba noMars kuyinselelo yezobuchwepheshe. Ngakho-ke ikakhulu besizoncika kumagagasi omsakazo. Ngakho-ke lokho kusho ukuthi ngeke sikwazi ukuqhubeka nezingxoxo ezijwayelekile njengami nawe. Kuzofanele ngikuthumele okuthile okufana nencwadi, incwadi yevidiyo. Ngingahle ngizidwebele ividiyo ngikhulume esikrinini se-TV esizokuqopha engizama ukukusho bese ngiyakususa bese kuya ngokuthi uMhlaba noMASS bakuphi lapho kungathatha khona imizuzu eyishumi kuya kumizuzu engamashumi amabili nane umyalezo nje ukufinyelela eMhlabeni. Ngakho-ke uma uthumela incwadi encane yevidiyo kumuntu omthandayo eMhlabeni futhi kuthathe imizuzu engamashumi amabili ukufika lapho, futhi bazothumela incwadi encane yevidiyo emuva kungathatha ihora kalula ngokushintshana kolwazi. Lesi esinye sezizathu esenza kube nengqondo ukuthi abantu baye eMars esikhundleni samadivayisi wemishini akudingeki bathembele kumiyalo evela eMhlabeni.

iH: Kuyathakazelisa lokho; Empeleni bengicabanga ukuthi kuzothatha isikhathi eside.

SP: Cha, cishe imizuzu engamashumi amabili nane kungaba isimo esibi kakhulu. Izikhathi eziningi kungaba yimizuzu eyishumi kuya kweyishumi nanhlanu

iH: Lokho kuhle kakhulu; Empeleni bengicabanga ukuthi kuzothatha izinsuku {laughs}

SP: Cha, inkinga uma uku-MARS ayikho imoto ephuthumayo engakusiza uma ungena enkingeni. Uwedwa uma ufika lapho noma kunjalo. Ngakho-ke inkinga yezokuxhumana ngaphandle kwesizathu sokududuza ukwazi ukukhuluma nabantu abasemhlabeni, kwiplanethi yasekhaya ayisebenzi, ngoba ukuxhumana okuzobaluleka ngabantu abakuzungezile lapho uzama ukwakha impucuko lapho.

iH: Lokho kuyiqiniso impela! Ngiyabonga kakhulu ngokukhuluma nami namuhla. Ubuchwepheshe bakho buthakazelelwa kakhulu. Bheka incwadi kaStephen Petranek kwiplanethi efundwayo ethi, “How We Will Live On Mars” ngokuchofoza lapha.
