Elon Musk has big plans to put a human colony on Mars, as he has said that he would like to send a million people to Mars red planet By 2050, however, one NASA scientist Michelle Thaler revealed to the US Sun that this would essentially be a suicide mission and Elon Musk would likely die before he got there due to painful issues.
Dr. Michelle Thaler, a scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center with decades of experience, explained that we currently don’t have the right technology to keep humans safe on a trip to Mars, The Sun reported.
“They’ll run into problems with space radiation that can kill them before they have a chance to get there,” she added. Radiation sickness, also called radiation poisoning, can increase the risks. getting cancer and degenerative disease and death.
“I know Elon Musk has confirmed that he would like to be the first person to die on another planet,” Dr Thaler explained.
“If the sun had a large solar flare or emission of large amounts of material which is common, that would kill it.” The same problem was avoided by NASA’s Apollo astronauts from when they stood on the surface of the moon.
