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

Isikhathi sokuqala engikhumbula ngaso ukuzwa ngeTerraforming Mars kwakuyiminyaka eyedlule ngenkathi ngisohambweni lokukhuluma eSouthern California. Ngithathe ikhophi ye- I-LA Times futhi ufunde indatshana ekhuluma ngeMars Society enamaphupho okuhambisa impucuko yethu yabantu kule planethi ekude. Lo mbhalo ucashunwe Umphakathi weMars UMongameli Robert Zubrin (isikhulu esiphezulu seLockheed Martin) obize uMhlaba “njengeplanethi ebolayo, efa, enukayo” futhi wenza icala lokuguqulwa kweMars.

Cabanga izindleko. Kunganjani esikhundleni salokho sisebenzise imali ukwelapha ikhaya lethu elihle, elihle nelimibalabala? Kuthiwani ngokucatshangelwa kokuziphatha kwabantu abanquma ukuthi enye iplanethi kufanele iguqulwe ukuze 'siyisebenzise'? Kuthiwani ngemithelela yezomthetho njengoba iSivumelwano Sangaphandle Sendawo se-UN sinqabela izinhlelo ezinjalo zokubusa?

Ngikhunjuzwa masinyane ngohlelo lweTV Star Trek oluthi 'Prime Directive'. IPrime Directive, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-Starfleet General Order 1, i-Non-Interference Directive, ibiyindlela eyodwa yezimiso zokuziphatha ezibaluleke kakhulu zakwa-Starfleet: ukungaphazamiseki kwamanye amasiko nempucuko.

Ngamanye amagama 'Ungalimazi'.

Kepha u-Elon Musk ufuna ukulimaza iMars nanoma yini engaba khona lapho.

Esihlokweni manje esithunyelwe ku- I-CounterPunch, uprofesa wezobuntatheli uKarl Grossman uyabhala:

U-Elon Musk, umsunguli kanye noMphathi Omkhulu we-Space X, ubelokhu ebhekise ekuqhumeni kwamabhomu enuzi eMars, athi, "awuguqule ube yiplanethi efana noMhlaba." Njengoba iBusiness Insider ichaza, uMusk “usekhuthaze umqondo wokwethula izikhali zenuzi ngaphezu nje kwezigxobo zikaMars kusukela ngo-2015. Ukholelwa ukuthi izosiza ukufudumeza iplanethi futhi iyenze ibe nomusa kakhulu empilweni yabantu.”

As isikhala.com uthi: “Lokhu kuqhuma bekuyokhipha isigaxa esikahle seqhwa likaMars, kukhulule umhwamuko owanele kanye ne-carbon dioxide — womabili la magesi abamba ukushisa — ukufudumeza iplanethi kakhulu, umqondo uyaqhubeka.”

Kucatshangwe ukuthi kungathatha amabhomu enuzi angaphezu kwe-10,000 ukwenza uhlelo lweMusk. Ukuqhuma kwamabhomu enuzi nakho kuzonikeza iMars imisebe yomsakazo. Amabhomu enuzi azoyiswa eMars ngemikhumbi ye-Starships eyinkulungwane uMusk afuna ukuyakha — njengaleyo eqhume kuleli sonto [elidlule].

ISpaceX ithengisa izikibha ezibhalwe amagama athi "Nuke Mars."

Isivumelwano esiyisisekelo se-UN esiphathelene nale mibuzo yiSivumelwano Semigomo Elawula Imisebenzi Yezwe Ekuhlolweni nasekusetshenzisweni Kwendawo Engaphandle, kufaka phakathi iNyanga Nezinye Izindikimba Zasezulwini, noma nje “iSivumelwano Sangaphandle.” Yavunywa ngo-1967, ikakhulu isuselwa kusethi yezimiso zomthetho umhlangano jikelele owemukela ngo-1962.

The isivumelwano inamaphuzu amaningana abalulekile kuyo. Ezinye zezinto ezibalulekile yilezi:

• Isikhala sikhululekile ukuthi zonke izizwe zihlolwe, futhi izimangalo ezinamandla azinakwenziwa. Imisebenzi yasemkhathini kufanele izuzise zonke izizwe nabantu. (Ngakho-ke, akekho umuntu ophethe inyanga noma ezinye izidumbu zeplanethi.)

• Izikhali zenuzi nezinye izikhali zokubhujiswa okukhulu azivunyelwe ku-Earth orbit, kuzindikimba zasezulwini noma kwezinye izindawo ezingaphandle. (Ngamanye amagama, ukuthula ukuphela kokusetshenziswa okwamukelekayo kwezindawo ezingaphandle komkhathi).

• Izizwe ngazinye (zithi) zinesibopho sanoma yimuphi umonakalo odalwa yizinto zesikhala sazo. Izizwe ngazinye nazo zibhekele yonke imisebenzi kahulumeni kanye nengeyona ekahulumeni eyenziwa yizakhamizi zayo. Lezi zifundazwe kufanele futhi "zigweme ukungcoliswa okuyingozi" ngenxa yemisebenzi yasemkhathini.

Ngisho ne-NASA, ebilokhu ithumela ama-probe kuMars iminyaka eminingi, ithe iTerraforming Mars ayinakwenzeka. (I-NASA inentshisekelo enkulu ekusebenzeni kwezimayini kwiplanethi Ebomvu.) Zabo iwebhusayithi ithi:

Ababhali bezinganekwane zesayensi sekuyisikhathi eside beveza ukwakheka komhlaba, inqubo yokwakha indawo efana noMhlaba noma okungahlalwa kuyo kwenye iplanethi, ezindabeni zabo. Ososayensi uqobo lwabo baphakamise ukwakheka komhlaba ukuze bakwazi ukwenza ikoloni lesikhathi eside iMars. Isixazululo esijwayeleke kuwo womabili la maqembu ukukhipha i-carbon dioxide gas ebhajwe ebusweni beMartian ukuze ishise umkhathi futhi isebenze njengengubo yokufudumeza iplanethi.

Kodwa-ke, iMars ayigcini i-carbon dioxide eyanele engabuyiselwa emoyeni ukuze ifudumeze iMars, ngokusho kocwaningo olusha oluxhaswe yiNASA. Ukuguqula isimo seMartian esingalapheki sibe yindawo osomkhathi abangayihlola ngaphandle kokuxhaswa kwempilo akunakwenzeka ngaphandle kobuchwepheshe obedlula amakhono wanamuhla.

Ekugcineni ucingo lukaMusk oluthi 'Occupy' kanye no'Nuke 'Mars lungachazwa kalula njengejwayelekile' i-American exceptionalism '. Nokuzikhukhumeza okuphezulu. Izifiso zakhe zisezingeni eliphakeme futhi kubonakala sengathi akaqondi ukuthi iyingozi kangakanani imibono yakhe (njengokuqalisa ama-nukes ayi-10,000 XNUMX ku-Mars) kulabo abasazama ukusinda eMhlabeni nakunoma ngubani ongaba yisiwula ngokwanele ukuya eMars ngemuva kwalokhu sekwenziwe uhlelo lokuhlanya.

Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi abantu abadala abasekamelweni bahlale phansi bengalawuleki futhi bonakalise ingane bayazise ukuthi akuyona eyendawo yonke. Cha, Elon, ngeke ube yinkosi yeMars.
