why hasn't there been a man made mission to Mars done yet?

>>16771287 (OP)
It's like a 7-8 month trip. Gotta bring enough food and water to sustain the astronauts until they get there. It's probably gonna be one-way and as much as people like to LARP, nobody competent enough to get there would sign up for it.

>man made mission
Because the dinosaues got there first, OP. But somethong tells me that you already knew that and are only trolling with this thread.

>>16771287 (OP)
nobody wants to go on a suicide mission dude
until they figure out the return trip, it ain't happening
we have the theory on how the return trip would work, but the engineering is too hard
the hardest part of the return trip is the fuel
basically we need to send robots to produce the fuel on Mars, before the humans get there

>nobody competent enough to get there would sign up for it.
men of today are just too weak
eventually we will colonize Mars, and the dude who got there first, will have divine status
even if humanity in 1 million years expands to a billion stars, he will be the first dude to have ever landed on another planet and started humanity's galactic empire

great men of the past would never pass up on this opportunity, but no today's pussies want to go back to scrolling inane tiktok memes ASAP, instead of being immortalized for eternity.

Shuttle ate up hundreds of billions of budget to stay at low earth orbit.

Assuming the 100-ton ship (100,000 kg, metric tons) is fully loaded with this optimized food:

Total food mass: 100,000 kg
Daily consumption per person: 0.64 kg
Daily consumption for 10 people: 6.4 kg
Total duration: 100,000 kg / 6.4 kg per day ≈ 15,625 days
In years: 15,625 days / 365 ≈ 42.8 years

A single 100 ton ship with dehydrated food can feed a colony of 10 person on Mars for 42 years. Add in local water and you get a full normal food. If you add in local food growth, this can be further extended. If you add in more food delivery ships, it can extend further. But this is just 10 man journey for 42 years.

Radiation.
We won't get anywhere until we run the cult of Einstein out of universities with pitchforks and torches.

>>16771287 (OP)
Big technical reason is Mars entry, descent, and landing is a bitch. The latest rovers took a complicated system of heatshield and chutes with rockets at the very end to get down on the surface, and a manned vehicle would be >100x that mass. NASA was basically set on huge-ass inflatable/deployable decelerators before SpaceX started firing their rockets in high altitude Mars-like conditions when doing entry burns.

>>16771287 (OP)
we could land a man on Mars but we couldnt get him off again. just like the Moon

>nobody wants to go on a suicide mission
there are hundreds of crazies who'd volunteer

>>16771287 (OP)
Maybe there has and you just don't know about it.

Ending your bloodline goes against human nature, bro

Debt + no cold war.
If the soviets never existed im not even sure we would have had the ISS

>Gotta bring enough food and water to sustain the astronauts until they get there

And once they are there... They are fucked

>>16771287 (OP)
DEI reasons. Finding a competent female-only team of astronauts that won't turn this into a suicide mission is hard.

Unironically Hart-Cellar and Fiat Currency based central banking.

any sane man would already have a kid when he blasts off, he should probably be 40 years old anyways

>>16771287 (OP)
Kubrick is too old to direct a mars landing, thats why

>>16771291
Just pet a greenhouse on the ship and grow food on the way there. Most crops grow within less time than it would take to get to Mars.

>>16771299
Make the fuel in situ from mined materials. Refill lander. Profit (eventually).

>>16771526
If they had used it to build a mothership like originally planned it might've been worth it

>>16772889
careful, you're speaking the truth

>even if humanity in 1 million years expands to a billion stars, he will be the first dude to have ever landed on another planet and started humanity's galactic empire

We aren't colonising shit bro. We will die with our pathetic blue giant

Are there Martian cat girls there?
No.
So there's no point going.

>>16771287 (OP)

The idea that Mars is a "place" one can "go to" was made up after WW2.

>>16773277
You can die alone. Free men will go to mars.

because nobody could ever figure out how to get them back into space and on their way back to Earth before, Elon thinks he's discovered a loophole he can exploit and that is the "but what if they were to just stay on Mars after we land them there?" alternative

Martian here. AMA

because it doesn't exist

>>16771287 (OP)
usecase for humans on mars?

>>16771291
We could send convicts like the English did iN Australia

>>16771287 (OP)
It would be very expensive and the only country capable of doing it decided to spend space exploration money on letting congenitally retarded people buy potato chips with food stamps instead.

Are all Martians dumb or is Juno just a slut pretending to be dumb?

>why hasn't there been a man made mission to Mars done yet?
Every mission to Mars has been man made.

There have been numerous manned missions to Mars.
But they all get shot down by the Nazi railguns mounted on Deimos.
You didn't really think the Nazis would be content to only colonize the Moon did you?

>>16771300
Just like you, loser. kek
Talking all tough

>Free men will go to mars.
Only if wage slaves are forced under threat of violence to contribute to funding the work required for "free men" to go to Mars.

>>16771287 (OP)
because Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all the science, I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man
A rocket man

Anon, there is no need to tell us how your grandfather fucked your ass.
