Retraction Precious

It's a sad thing to see how many people that were so stupid to take a Jab and NOT know what was in it - Un tested and not even a list of what it is - Still NO list no information at all !

I'll see your genocide conspiracy theory and raise it to 11. What I'm about to write hit me after receiving a YouTube notification regarding Elon Musk's recent announcement of plans to build Starship 2.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL8_mo0nSzs

It's no secret Musk wants a permanent colony on Mars; he's stated as much, hoping to have the population peak at ~1,000,000 colonists. Thus the need for the larger rocket.

However, let's examine this more closely. We're already aware from the former Soviet space program the negative consequences of long-term habitation at zero gravity. Granted, Mar's gravity isn't as low, but it's still pretty low at ~38% of Earth's. Couple this with that fact that - unlike the Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov living at zero G for a record of only 14 months - the Mars colonists will be living there for the remainder of their lives (allegedly).

We have no empirical evidence of what effect this will have on the human body as it's never been attempted before and can not be replicated on Earth. However, based on what we know of zero G effects, we can extrapolate the effects on the Martians. Muscle atrophy and loss of bone density will be chief among them. But it goes deeper than simply gross skeletal muscle loss. The heart is a muscle, as well; I think with long enough exposure to low G, we can expect to see negative impacts to the circulatory system.

Then there's the issue of the Martian environment. Let's start with the atmosphere. There's no oxygen; thus, there's no ozone. Mars' surface is bathed in UV radiation due to this lack of protective layer. The atmosphere is almost 100% carbon dioxide; can't breathe it. Lastly, the atmospheric pressure is 1/100th of Earth's; you couldn't breathe even if there was oxygen as there's an insufficient pressure gradient to allow for pulmonary respiration.

Now, some of these conditions may bode well...if you're a plant (that can be contained within a pressurized greenhouse, of course). But people aren't plants; they'll be consigned to a lifetime of living in a spacesuit. Even living inside of pressurized habitats with oxygen and UV-blocking glass or simply concrete made from the Martian soil, the colonists will still have to live their entire lives in a spacesuit to guard against the risk - regardless of how low it may be - of a habitat breach and subsequent de-pressurization. I would wager this could become psychologically oppressive if one had to endure it for 20, 30, 40, 50, 60+ years.

Now on to the soil. The movie the "Martian" got it right; Martian soils are high in perchlorate. Short-term consumption of plants which have grown in such soil isn't really an issue. But we're not talking short-term; we're talking permanent colony. Long-term consumption of such plant matter would begin to have negative effects on the body. Of course the soil can be rinsed to remove the perchlorate, making plants grown in such soil safe. But we're talking about rinsing soil enough to feed 1 million people. Where's the water coming from? Mars has it, but it's all frozen as permafrost or at the poles. That represents a massive energy expenditure, effort, time, and logistics nightmare to produce the quantity of water needed just to make the soil safe for planting. Perhaps this will be countered by soil-less hydroponics systems; which itself represents yet another massive construction and energy-intensive effort.

Next, let's talk about Mars' Van Allen Belt. Oops! Actually, we can't...because it doesn't have one! Earth has a Van Allen Belt protecting us from the charged particles streaming from the Sun. It's what produces the Aurora Borealis; the collision of charged particles with the Van Allen Belt produces the spectacular light show. This is made possible because at the Earth's inner core is a solid sphere of iron surrounded by an outer core of molten iron. Take a liquid metal and spin it around a solid metal and you've created a dynamo. Said dynamo then emanates magnetic field lines; our Van Allen Belt protecting us from the Sun's solar wind.

Mars, by contrast, is smaller than Earth. That means it has a smaller surface area-to-volume ratio. And that, in turn, means it is able to radiate off heat faster from its core than a larger planet like Earth. The consequence of this is the Martian core has completely solidified due to cooling. There is no molten iron circulating around a solid core; it's all solid now. With no convection currents in the core, there's no dynamo effect. No dynamo effect, no Van Allen Belt. No Van Allen Belt, no protection from the solar wind. The thin Martian atmosphere provides very little secondary buffer. So now, in addition to everything that preceded this, you have a Martian surface being constantly bombarded by charged particles. For short-term missions probably not a significant risk factor. What about 50 years of low-level but chronic bombardment? 100 years? 150 years?

Next, we have the famous (infamous?) Martian dust storms. These fine particulates, with little resistance from the low-pressure atmosphere, can be lifted high into the air where they hang for months at a time in some cases. A colony relying on solar cells will have no power produced from the Sun during these events. They'll have to rely on small-scale nuclear reactors; and with a population of 1 million, they may even have to be large-scale nuclear reactors.

These aren't optional like here on Earth. Martian colonists will absolutely require nuclear reactors, even if only as an emergency backup to their solar arrays. How long has the longest commercial nuclear reactor been in service here on Earth? 50 years, maybe? And how often do they experience breakdowns, emergencies, maintenance problems, cutting corners due to budgetary issues, or even meltdowns as we've bore witness to with Chernobyl and Fukishima? So you'll have 1 million colonists living in close proximity to a nuclear reactor(s) that can NOT be decommissioned, can NOT fail, can NOT meltdown...EVER! Anyone want to place a bet on that NOT happening?

I'm sure there's even more to list as strikes against a permanent Martian colony; these are just the highlights that came quickly to mind. We haven't even dived into the potential negative impacts to the colonists' mental and emotional states having to live under these conditions. Physically, I think it's a safe bet to say anyone living as a permanent resident of Mars will not be very healthy when taken over a significant span of years or decades.

Which then brings me to my point. I don't think there IS any intention of a permanent colony on Mars. Oh, Mr. Musk might naively dream of it, but it's not a practical possibility. I think what Mars represents is the ultimate quarantine. Send the people you want to use to repopulate the Earth to Mars. Have them lie low for a small handful of years; 3 to 5 will probably be enough while avoiding the worst of the long-term negative impacts of living on Mars. While they're on Mars, the powers that be release their ultimate plague on Earth. Engineered, specific, targeted; the human race goes extinct on Earth. The Martian "colonists" (because they were never really intended to be permanent colonists in the first place) return to Earth once it's safe to do so. They achieve their Georgia Guide Stone goals.

Now, is this Musk's plan? I don't know. I lean towards him being a very wealthy but somewhat naive dreamer. But just because it's not his personal plan doesn't mean his technology and corporations can't be co-opted by those with more nefarious designs. Besides, Musk won't live long enough to see any of this come to fruition, anyway. He'll lay the groundwork, but it will still take decades at the earliest before any of this could be realized. Meanwhile, those with evil intent start maneuvering themselves into positions of influence within his companies. They subscribe to the same over-arching genocidal goal. They bring it all together in the next 50 to 100 years.

If I, a nobody, can think this up in the course of 48 hours, what do you think the Bill Gates, the Karl Schwabs, and the George Soroses of the world can dream up? Mars eliminates the risk of having to live among the people you intend to genocide while making the genocide itself that much easier to achieve.

Lefties are crazy.
