UStephan Petranek uthetha ngokusinda kwi-Mars kwi-TED2015.(Ifoto: TED) U-Elon Musk uthi uyakuzisa abantu eMars ngo-2025. Kodwa xa sifika, siyakuphila njani? Umoya ojikeleze uMars ngama-96 eepesenti yekharbon dayokhsayidi kunye namaxesha ali-100 athambileyo kunomhlaba. Iplanethi inepesenti engama-38 kuphela yomxhuzulane woMhlaba kwaye amaqondo obushushu aphakathi -81 degrees.
Abagxeki bayazibuza ukuba sizoyisa njani le miqobo, kodwa ngokombono wezobuchwephesha uStephen Petranek, konke oku kuye kwacaca. Ude athi yonke itekhnoloji efunekayo ukwenza ukuba abantu bakwazi ukuhlala eMars sele ikhona. Kutshanje Intetho yeTED , Mnu. Petranek uchaza ngokuthe ngqo indlela esizokukhulisa ngayo ukutya, ukufudumeza iplanethi kwaye ekugqibeleni siyenze indawo egcwala yimivalo kunye nenyani yeTV njengoMhlaba.
Amanzi
Uninzi lwethu lucinga ngeMars njengeplanethi yentlango, kodwa inyani kukuba kukho amanzi amaninzi-kufuneka nje sifike kuwo. Amanzi maninzi kodwa uninzi lwawo ngumkhenkce kwaye uninzi lwawo lungaphantsi komhlaba. Kuthatha amandla amaninzi ukuyifumana kunye nomsebenzi omninzi wabantu, utshilo umnumzana Petranek kule ntetho, esithi umhlaba wodwa uqulethe ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-60 zamanzi kwaye kukho umkhenkce nomngxunya womkhenkce.
Ukufikelela emanzini, singasebenzisa isixhobo esiphekwe kwiDyunivesithi yaseWashington esichazwe njengesiseko sobuchwephesha esisezantsi. Ihlala ipesenti ye-100 yokufuma eMars, kwaye esi sixhobo singasivumela ukuba sisebenzise ukufuma ukukhupha amanzi amaninzi.

Ioksijini
Okulandelayo, kufuneka sikhathazeke malunga nento esiya kuyiphefumla. Ngeliphandle, ndothuke nyani ukufumanisa ukuba i-NASA isombulule le ngxaki, utshilo.
Wakhomba kwi-MOXIE, umatshini owenziwe sisazinzulu se-MIT uMichal Hecht ngokuyintloko oyiseli yokubuyisela umva esela kwiatmosferi ye-Martian kunye nokupompa ioksijini. Yenzelwe ukuba ibe nobungqongqo ukulungiselela abantu abaninzi, ke iya kuqhubeka nokuxhasa ikoloni yaseMars njengoko ikhula.
Ukutya
IHydroponics iya kusetyenziswa ukukhulisa ukutya. Ekuqaleni, de sibe sinamanzi abaleka ngaphezulu, asizokwazi ukukhula ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-20 zokutya okufunekayo, ke ukutya okomileyo kuya kuziswa kwiMars eMhlabeni.

Indawo yokuhlala
Kukho imitha yelanga eninzi kunye nemitha evela kwimitha yendalo, ngoko ke sifuna indawo yokusikhusela kuloo nto, utshilo uMnu Petranek.
Kuqala singasebenzisa izakhiwo ezinoxinzelelo lwe-inflatable kunye nabahlali ngokwabo, emva koko kukho iindlela ezininzi zokufumana indawo yokuhlala esisigxina. Singahlala phantsi komhlaba emiqolombeni okanye kwimibhobho ye-lava, okanye sinokwakha iindawo zokufihla izixhobo ezivela kuMars. Kuyavela ukuba umhlaba ukulungele ukwenza izitena, kwaye i-NASA icinge ukuba singatyhala iplastikhi yeplastikhi kwisitena, siyibeke kwi-oveni ye-microwave emva koko siyisebenzise ukwenza izakhiwo ezineendonga ezingqindilili nezikhuselayo.
Impahla
Kukho iipawundi ezili-15 zoxinzelelo lomoya kwimizimba yethu ngalo lonke ixesha emhlabeni. KwiMars, akukho nanye, oko kuthetha ukuba ijee yethu eblue ayizukuyisika. Inkqubo ye- BioSuit , eyilwe sisazinzulu se-MIT uDava Newman, iya kusigcina sifudumele, isigcine kunye kwaye ivimbe imitha.
Ukwenza umhlaba ube ngumhlaba
Ukwenza kube ngakumbi njengomhlaba, ukuphinda uqalise iplanethi yonke-oko kuvakala ngathi zii-hubris ezininzi, kodwa itekhnoloji yokwenza yonke into endiza kukuxelela yona sele ikhona, utshilo.
Okokuqala, kufuneka sifudumeze iMars, esinokuthi siyenze ngokulula kuba iiplanethi ezisemazantsi kunye nezibonda zasemantla zigutyungelwe yicarbon dioxide enomkhenkce. Singazifudumeza ngeseyile enkulu yelanga, kwaye oku kuya kubangela ukuba icarbon dioxide inyibilikise emoyeni kwaye ifudumise iplanethi kubushushu obuphathekayo kwiminyaka engama-20 kuphela.
Umoya ojiyileyo uya kuphucula nezinye iimeko ngokunjalo. Siya kuba nokukhuselwa ngakumbi kwimitha, siya kuba nakho ukulahla izuti zasemajukujukwini kwaye sinamanzi abalekayo, kwaye ke, izityalo. 
Sisebenzisa iseyile yelanga, singafudumeza uMars.(Ifoto: TED)
Eyethu iDNA
Ekugqibeleni iMars iyakwenziwa ukuba izive ifana neBritish Columbia, kodwa sisazakusala nengxaki enzima yokwenza umoya uphefumle.
Ngeliphandle, oko kungathatha iminyaka eyi-1 000 ukuyifeza, kodwa abantu banengqondo emangalisayo kwaye bayakwazi ukuziqhelanisa. Akukho nto ichazayo ukuba itekhnoloji yethu yexesha elizayo iza kuba nakho ukuyifeza kwaye ayixeleli into esiza kukwazi ukuyenza ngaphandle kwemizimba yethu, utshilo uMnu. Kwibhayoloji, sisecaleni kokukwazi ukulawula ezethu ii-genetics, zeziphi izinto ezenziwayo kwimizimba yethu ezenzayo, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, ekugqibeleni, kukuzivelela kwethu. Singaphelela kudidi lwabantu eMhlabeni olwahluke kancinane kuneentlobo zabantu abakuMars.
Uye wongeza ukuba abantu bahlala bezibuza ukuba bazakwenza ntoni abantu kwiMars, kwaye wongeza ukuba impendulo yile siyenzayo ngoku eMhlabeni.
Kodwa ubuya kwenza ntoni apho, ubunokuphila njani? Umntu othile uza kuqala indawo yokutyela. Umntu othile uza kwakha isiseko sentsimbi. Umntu othile uza kwenza amaxwebhu kwiMars aze awathengise eMhlabeni. Ezinye idiot ziya kuqala umboniso weTV okwenyani. Kuya kubakho iinkampani zesoftware, kuya kubakho iihotele, kuya kubakho imivalo. Oku kuqinisekile, iya kuba sesona siganeko siphazamisayo ebomini bethu, kwaye ndicinga ukuba iya kuba sesona sikhuthazayo. Buza nayiphi na intombazana eneminyaka eli-10 ubudala ukuba ifuna ukuya eMars. Abantwana abakwisikolo samabanga aphantsi ngoku baya kukhetha ukuya apho.
