U-Elon Musk, kunye nenkampani yakhe iSpace X, banecebo lokulawula iMars. Bafuna 'iTerraform' iplanethi ebomvu enothuli ukuyenza ibe luhlaza kwaye iphile njengoMama woMhlaba.

Ixesha lokuqala endinokukhumbula ngalo ukuva malunga ne-Terraforming Mars kwakuyiminyaka eyadlulayo xa ndandikutyelelo lwaseMzantsi California. Ndithathe ikopi ye LA Times kwaye ufunde inqaku malunga noMbutho kaMars onamaphupha okuhambisa impucuko yethu kuluntu olukude. Inqaku licatshulwe UMbutho kaMars UMongameli Robert Zubrin (isigqeba solawulo seLokheed Martin) owabiza uMhlaba “njengeplanethi ebolayo, eswelekayo nenukayo” kwaye wenza imeko yotshintsho lweMars.

Khawuthelekelele iindleko. Kutheni le nto singasebenzisi imali ukuphilisa ikhaya lethu eliqaqambileyo, elihle nelimibalabala? Kuthekani ngokuqwalaselwa kokuziphatha kwabantu abagqiba ekubeni enye iplanethi kufuneka iguqulwe ukuze 'siyisebenzise'? Kuthekani ngeziphumo zomthetho njengoko isiVumelwano sangaphandle seZizwe eziManyeneyo sithintela izicwangciso zolawulo lobugovu?

Ndikhumbula kwangoko ngomboniso weTV Star Trek 'Prime Directive'. I-Prime Directive, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-Starfleet General Order 1, i-Non-Interference Directive, yayiyeyona migaqo ibalulekileyo ye-Starfleet: ukungangqinelani nezinye iinkcubeko kunye nempucuko.

Ngamanye amagama 'Sukulimaza'.

Kodwa u-Elon Musk ufuna ukwenza ingozi enkulu kwiMars nakubo bonke ubomi obusisiseko obunokubakho apho.

Kwinqaku elithunyelwe ngoku IsiCwangciso soPhakamiso, Unjingalwazi wobuntatheli uKarl Grossman ubhala athi:

U-Elon Musk, umseki kunye ne-CEO ye-Space X, ebethetha ngokuqhushumba iibhombu zenyukliya kwi-Mars, esithi, "bayiguqule ibe yiplanethi efana noMhlaba." Njengokuba i-Business Insider icacisa, uMusk “uye waxhasa umbono wokusungula izixhobo zenyukliya ngaphezulu nje kweepali zika-Mars ukusukela ngo-2015. Ukholelwa ukuba izakunceda ukufudumeza umhlaba kunye nokuwenza ubuk 'iindwendwe ubomi babantu.”

As space.com ithi: “Ezi ziqhushumbisi zinokuphelisa iqhekeza lomkhenkce kaMars, zikhulule umphunga wamanzi kunye nekharbon diokside — zombini ezi ziigesi ezinobushushu — ukuze kufudumale umhlaba.”

Kuqikelelwa ukuba kuya kuthatha ngaphezulu kweebhombu zenyukliya ezili-10,000 ukwenza isicwangciso seMusk. Ukuqhushumba kwebhombu yenyukliya kuya kunika iMars radioactive. Iibhombu zenyukliya ziya kusiwa eMars kwizikhephe ezili-1,000 XNUMX zeenqwelo-moya uMusk afuna ukuzakha — njengaleyo iqhushumbe kule veki [idlulileyo].

ISpaceX ithengisa izikipa ezibhalwe amagama athi "Nuke Mars."

Isivumelwano esisisiseko se-UN esimalunga nale mibuzo siSivumelwano esimalunga neMigaqo elawula imisebenzi yamazwe ekuHlolweni nasekusetyenzisweni kwangaphandle, kubandakanya iNyanga namanye amaBhunga oMbane, okanye nje "iSivumelwano sangaphandle." Yavunywa ngo-1967, ubukhulu becala isekwe kwimigaqo yezomthetho eyamkelwa yintlanganiso ngokubanzi ngo-1962.

The melwano ineengongoma eziphambili kuyo. Ezinye zezona ziphambili zezi:

• Indawo isimahla ukuba zonke izizwe ziphonononge, kwaye amabango azimeleyo awenziwa. Imisebenzi yasemajukujukwini kufuneka ibe yinzuzo kuzo zonke izizwe nabantu. (Ke, akukho mntu uphethe inyanga okanye ezinye iiplanethi.)

• Izixhobo zenyukliya kunye nezinye izixhobo zentshabalalo azivumelekanga kumjikelezo woMhlaba, kumaqonga ezulu okanye kwezinye iindawo ezingaphandle. (Ngamanye amagama, uxolo kuphela kwento eyamkelekileyo yokusebenzisa indawo engaphandle).

• Isizwe ngasinye (sithetha) sinoxanduva lomonakalo obangelwe zizinto zabo. Isizwe ngasinye sinoxanduva lwazo zonke izinto ezenziwa ngurhulumente kunye nezinto ezingezozorhulumente ezenziwa ngabemi babo. La mazwe kufuneka "aphephe ukungcoliseka okuyingozi" ngenxa yemisebenzi yasemajukujukwini.

Nditsho ne-NASA, ebithumela i-probes kuMars iminyaka emininzi, ithe iTerraforming Mars ayinakwenzeka. (I-NASA inomdla kakhulu kwimigodi yokusebenza kwiplanethi ebomvu.) Indawo yewebhu ithi:

Ababhali beentsomi zeNzululwazi kudala babonisa ukusebenza komhlaba, inkqubo yokudala imeko-bume efana noMhlaba okanye indawo yokuhlala kwenye iplanethi, kumabali abo. Izazinzulu ngokwazo zicebise ukwenza umhlaba ukuba ube sisithsaba seMars. Isisombululo esiqhelekile kuwo omabini la maqela kukukhupha i-carbon dioxide gas evaleleke kumphezulu weMartian ukuze ityebise i-atmosfere kwaye isebenze njengengubo yokufudumeza umhlaba.

Nangona kunjalo, iMars ayigcini i-carbon dioxide eyaneleyo enokubuyiselwa emoyeni ukuze ifudumise uMars, ngokophando olutsha oluxhaswe yi-NASA. Ukuguqula imeko ye-Martian engafikelelekiyo kwindawo oosomajukujuku abanokuyihlola ngaphandle kwenkxaso yobomi akunakwenzeka ngaphandle kwetekhnoloji engaphaya kobuchule banamhlanje.

Ekugqibeleni ukubiza kukaMusk 'ku-Occupy' kunye no-'Nuke 'Mars kungachazwa ngokulula njengesiqhelo' saseMelika '. Kwaye ikratshi eliphezulu. Amabhongo akhe asemhlabeni kwaye ubonakala ngathi akaqondi ukuba ziyingozi kangakanani izimvo zakhe (ezinje ngokuqalisa i-10,000 nukes to Mars) ziyinyani kuthi xa sisazama ukusinda eMhlabeni nakuye nabani na onokuba sisidenge ngokwaneleyo ukuba angaya eMars emva koko iyelenqe lempambano lenzekile.

Lixesha lokuba abantu abadala abasegumbini bahlale phantsi ngaphandle kolawulo kwaye bonakalise umntwana phantsi bamazise ukuba ayinguye owendalo iphela. Hayi, Elon, awuyi kuba yinkosi yeMars.
