The First Manned Mission to Mars: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

SpaceFraud.Tech contends and believes that Elon Musk is perpetrating a fraud against the U.S. government by seeking federal funds to finance a demonstrably false premise of colonizing Mars.

Further, Elon Musk is violating labor laws by exhibiting deliberate indifference towards the safety and lives of SpaceX employees by unnecessarily and willfully subjecting SpaceX employees to permanent injury and death by sending SpaceX employees to Mars despite sufficient and valid evidence of employee incapacitation and death.

The Musk math doesn't add up to MISSION ACCOMPLISHED but indicates MISSION FAILURE as the most likely outcome.

Who in their right mind would actually go to Brownsville, Texas, hop on the cold steel elevator to the top of the 365 foot tall, giant-sized Musk Magic Rocketship, blastoff and ride 140 million miles to Mars, land on Mars, build a habitat, live in the habitat for over a year waiting to return to Earth; then walk away from your habitat to walk onboard Musk's Magic Rocketship that will hopefully crank up and haul you another 140 million miles back to face inevitable and unprecedented re-entry issues and a possible unscheduled disassembly event.

What could possibly go wrong?

Here's a list of things that could go wrong:

*mission failure within minutes of launch due to oxygen leak issues, as with previous Musk missions and the 1986 Challenger explosion;

*mission failure during the 140 million mile journey to Mars due to crew disability;

*mission failure during landing on Mars;

*mission failure exiting or attempting to exit the rocketship;

*mission failure at any moment during the one year stay on Mars, due to medical complications caused by prolonged exposure to microgravity and interstellar radiation;

*mission failure due to rocketship re-fueling or operational issues on return date;

*mission failure during the 140 million mile return journey due to crew disability;

*heat shield failure upon re-entry, not unlike the 2003 Columbia heat shield failure.

Elon Musk is either ignoring or hasn't given much consideration to mission failure and crew death due to terminal muscular atrophy incapacitation upon landing on Mars.

Consider the fact that any crew traveling to Mars would be subjected to what NASA estimates to be at least six months of zero gravity on the way to Mars, meaning the debilitating effects of microgravity that disables astronauts who spend six months or longer in Earth orbit gravity (90% of terrestrial Earth gravity) would be tenfold during the months and months spent traveling to Mars in zero gravity, and about threefold on Mars in Martian gravity (38% of terrestrial Earth gravity).

Remember, once you land on Mars you are stuck on Mars for an entire year or longer waiting for the return window - in the meantime your body continues to debilitate even further in Martian gravity - only 38% of Earth gravity.

SpaceFraud.Tech contends the odds of MISSION FAILURE due to muscular atrophy incapacitation are very likely considering what we know about astronauts who cannot walk due to muscular atrophy incapacitation.

NASA built and maintained manned space stations primarily to trying to solve the insurmountable physical problems caused by prolonged exposue to microgravity.

Yet NASA nor anyone else has solved the problem of astronaut incapacitation due to reverse blood, amniotic and spinal fluid flow caused by prolonged exposure to microgravity.

Elon Musk recently called for the quick destruction of the space station - which would end discussion about the well-known insurmountable physiological barriers to societal colonization of Mars.

"Muscular atrophy incapacitation due to microgravity" refers to the significant loss of muscle mass experienced by astronauts during prolonged space missions in microgravity, which can severely impair their physical abilities and potentially render them unable to perform necessary tasks, including upon re-entry to Earth's gravity due to muscle weakness and reduced strength.

Key points about this condition:

• Mechanism:

  In microgravity, muscles are not required to work against gravity as they do on Earth, leading to a decrease in muscle protein synthesis and an increase in muscle breakdown, resulting in muscle atrophy.

• Affected muscles:

  Weight-bearing muscles like those in the legs and spine are most significantly impacted by muscle atrophy in microgravity.

• Consequences:

  • Difficulty performing physical tasks during spacewalks or upon landing back on Earth.

  • Increased risk of injury due to weakened muscles

  • Impaired cardiovascular function due to reduced muscle mass

• Countermeasures:

  To mitigate muscle atrophy, astronauts engage in rigorous exercise routines during space missions, including resistance training, to stimulate muscle growth and maintain strength.

I contend that most reasonable people reviewing the facts, conditions and capabilities related to boarding Elon's rocketship to Mars and completing the mission would decline to board Elon's rocketship to Mars.

However, Elon will have no problem finding and paying someone to board his Magic Mushroom Rocketship to Mars - someone who's not worried about dying on Mars.

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone could force Elon Musk to hop onboard his own rocketship to Mars; however, someone could create a petition to calling for Musk to be onboard his first mission flight to Mars - Richard Branson style.

Decades of NASA medical research reveals that a majority of all astronauts who spent several months or longer in Earth orbit microgravity suffered temporary and permanent damage to their bodies as a direct result of prolonged exposure to microgravity.

SpaceFraud.Tech predicts employee incapacitation and death if any crew is sent to Mars

CAUSE OF DEATH: Mission failure due to crew incapacitation; specifically, muscular atrophy incapacitation, blindness or greatly reduced vision and additional medical complications caused by 12 MONTHS OF ZERO GRAVITY, 12 MONTHS OF 38% MARTIAN MICROGRAVITY.

*Six months exposure to ZERO GRAVITY traveling to Mars;

*Twelve months exposure to 38% microgravity on the surface of Mars;

*Another six months exposure to ZERO GRAVITY on the 140 million mile, six-month long return trip to Earth.

That's at least 24 months in microgravity.

No human has ever spent 24 months in microgravity.

No human being has ever spent 12 months in ZERO GRAVITY.

NASA and medical researchers know that as little as two weeks exposure to Earth orbital gravity (90%) onboard the ISS has disabled astronauts upon returning to Earth terrestrial gravity (100%).

SpaceFraud.Tech contends the odds of MISSION FAILURE due to muscular atrophy incapacitation are very likely considering what we know about astronauts who cannot walk due to muscular atrophy incapacitation.

Anyone can view videos of astronauts returning from Earth orbital gravity being carried out of the capsule precisely because they cannot walk due to prolonged exposure to microgravity.

Questions remain about the effects of long-duration deep-space missions in which astronauts would experience much higher levels of space radiation and prolonged microgravity.

NASA built and maintained manned space stations for over 25 years primarily to try to solve astronaut incapacitation caused by prolonged exposue to microgravity.

Yet NASA nor anyone else has solved the problem of astronaut incapacitation due to reverse blood, amniotic and spinal fluid flow caused by prolonged exposure to microgravity.

The fact is prolonged exposure to Earth orbital microgravity for months creates medical problems:

- disables astronauts, losing their ability to walk due to muscular atrophy incapacitation;

- causes blurry vision, swollen face and headaches due to increased intraocular pressure to the eyes and increased blood flow to the brain and cranium;

- creates a myriad of medical complications due to reverse blood flow in the brain and body;

- creates spine and movement issues due to reverse amniotic and spinal fluid flow;

Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS), linked to vision impairment due to microgravity-induced fluid shifts and changes in intracranial pressure affecting the eyes.

Research suggests that dysfunction in subcellular structures called mitochondria plays a role in SANS.

Over 80% of astronauts suffer lasting impairment requiring corrective lenses.

Please recognize that these harmful effects on the human body in 90% of Earth's terrestrial gravity would be ten times as bad in ZERO GRAVITY and more than double the harm on Mars, in 38% gravity.

Recognize the fact that "x" represents the degree of incapacitation astronauts suffer in 90% gravity.

"5x" represents the degree of incapacitation astronauts suffer in lunar gravity (18% gravity).

"2.5x" represents the degree of incapacitation astronauts would suffer on the surface of Mars (38% gravity).

"10x" represents the degree of incapacitation astronauts suffer in ZERO GRAVITY.

We know that astronauts who spend a few months in Earth orbital gravity cannot walk due to muscular atrophy incapacitation caused by prolonged exposure to 90% gravity.

So how do you expect an astronaut to be able to walk on Mars at 38% gravity, after spending more than six months traveling to Mars in ZERO GRAVITY?

Remember, the debilitating harm caused by being exposed to ZERO GRAVITY for six months would be TEN TIMES WORSE THAN spending six months in Earth orbital gravity (90%).

SpaceFraud.Tech contends and predicts that any crew exposed to six months of ZERO GRAVITY would suffer near total incapacitation of arms, legs, hands and fingers, rendering the mission and crew inoperable on the way to Mars.

SpaceFraud.Tech contends the claim that a crew can survive six months of ZERO GRAVITY on the way to Mars, then exit the rocketship on their own power and walk around the surface of Mars for 12 months in 38% gravity without fail is not only unrealistic, but highly irresponsible to suggest such and downright criminal to seek federal funds to execute a state-sponsored suicide mission to Mars.

Knowing what we know about prolonged exposure to microgravity, no sane professional individual would board Elon's Magic Rocketship to Mars.

SpaceFraud.Tech predicts history will not be kind to Elon Musk as Savior to Mankind by colonizing Mars, once the hard cold reality of Musk ignoring science actually results in crew death.

SpaceFraud.Tech reminds the enraged reader that current medical science has no medical treatment or solution to astronaut incapacitation arising from reverse blood, amniotic and spinal fluid flow in microgravity environments.

SpaceFraud.Tech reminds the enraged reader that no one could force Elon Musk to board his own rocketship to Mars with Elon's first crew he plans to send to Mars.

SpaceFraud.Tech predicts crew death for the first SpaceX crew sent to Mars.

SpaceFraud.Tech predicts crew death for the first SpaceX crew sent to Mars: either by crew incapacitation due to microgravity exposure or by heat shield failure upon Earth re-entry.

Neither Elon Musk, SpaceX nor NASA have provided any viable solution or zero gravity testing data and results regarding astronauts being subjected to at least (12) twelve months of ZERO GRAVITY and the terminal, grave consequences of subjecting employees to twelve months of ZERO GRAVITY.

Why 12 months of ZERO GRAVITY?

Because NASA cites six to seven months of traveling time to get to Mars, and another six to seven months returning back to Earth - EVERY INCH OF THOSE 240 MILLION MILES WILL BE IN ZERO GRAVITY.

SpaceFraud.Tech reminds the enraged reader that any SpaceX employee that Elon Musk sends to Mars and back to Earth will in fact suffer at least (12) twelve months of ZERO GRAVITY and all the physical harm, damage and possible death that comes with a human body being subjected to ZERO GRAVITY FOR OVER ONE YEAR - not to mention the 12 months of astronauts debilitating on the surface of Mars in Martian microgravity (38% of Earth terrestrial gravity).

SpaceFraud.Tech reminds the enraged reader that the longest period of time that any human being has been subjected to ZERO GRAVITY was during the Apollo moon missions when Apollo crews spent approximately 72 hours in ZERO GRAVITY on the way to the Moon, a few hours in lunar microgravity and then another 72 hours in ZERO GRAVITY during the 240,000 mile trip back home.

No human being has ever spent a moment longer in ZERO GRAVITY than Apollo astronauts did over 55 years ago, much less spend over an entire year in ZERO GRAVITY split by an entire year on Mars in 38% microgravity.

Recognize the fact that astronauts who are subjected to months of Earth orbit microgravity, which is 90% of Earth terrestrial gravity, are physically incapacitated and unable to walk upon return to Earth and 100% terrestrial gravity.

A gravity variance of only 10% physically incapacitated astronauts upon return to Earth.

Armed with those facts one can draw distinctive scientific conclusions based upon those physiological and geological facts.

Recognize the fact that any SpaceX crew sent to Mars will be exposed to at least six months of ZERO GRAVITY on the way to Mars - then after landing on Mars, will be subjected to 38% microgravity for at least twelve months on Mars, then will be subjected to another six months of ZERO GRAVITY on the way back to Earth.

SpaceFraud.Tech contends and believes that any human being subjected to six months or longer of ZERO GRAVITY will suffer 100% muscular atrophy incapacitation during the 140 million mile journey and will not be able to exit the spacecraft, much less self-ambulate on the surface of Mars for an entire year before attempting to board the return rocketship, liftoff and return another 140 million miles in six more months of ZERO GRAVITY to face an unprecedented capsule re-entry from 140 million miles away to Earth's atmosphere.

What could possibly go wrong?

SpaceFraud.Tech contends that Elon Musk has not considered all the grave and serious risks associated with Musk exposing SpaceX employees to a year of ZERO GRAVITY and a year of 38% Martian microgravity; or in the alternative, Musk IS AWARE of these particular risks but is willing to take those risks with his SpaceX employees.

NASA estimates any trip to Mars will take about seven to ten months - ONE WAY. 140 million miles going there and 140 million miles coming back.

That's 14 to 20 months in ZERO GRAVITY.

That's about ten times as much muscular atrophy - physical incapacitation that astronauts suffer in 90% of Earth gravity onboard the Int'l space station.

NASA will NOT be sending any human crew to Mars without first sending an unmanned mission(s) to Mars first.

SpaceFraud.Tech calls for NASA/Musk to put monkeys and mice onboard their first trip to Mars to monitor their physiological changes.

SpaceFraud.Tech predicts any animal: monkey, mouse or even fish in water will be physically incapacitated and die due to prolonged exposure to microgravity and interstellar radiation.

This is not some strange theory but an assertion and prediction based on decades of NASA's own medical research into astronaut prolonged exposure to microgravity and radiation.

I highly recommend spending a minute or two reviewing medical research reports on the debilitating harmful effects caused by prolonged exposure to microgravity and radiation onboard the U.S. and Int'l space stations, Shuttle missions and the Apollo missions.

Recognize the fact that astronauts returning from Earth orbital gravity (90% of Earth terrestrial gravity) are physically incapacitated upon return to Earth terrestrial gravity, unable to walk or even hold a pen or a cup in their hands. See videos >>>

Recognize if "x" represents the amount of physical incapacitation an astronaut suffers from spending months in Earth orbital gravity (90% of Earth terrestrial gravity) then "10x" represents the amount of physical incapacitation an astronaut would suffer in ZERO GRAVITY.

This most pivotal of facts is worth repeating and restating:

NASA says it's going to take 7 to 10 months to get to Mars.

Any crew sent to Mars will suffer ZERO GRAVITY during those 7 to 10 months traveling time, and suffer another 7 to 10 months traveling back to Earth in ZERO GRAVITY.

And that's not even adding the year of time any crew would have to spend on Mars waiting for the return trip window to open.

SpaceFraud.Tech contends that any objective analysis of these facts concludes that there is a much greater chance of MISSION FAILURE and crew death than MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Astronauts who acclimate from 90% to 100% Earth gravity suffer muscular atrophy incapacitation - unable to walk or use their hands.

Therefore astronauts who acclimate from seven to ten months in ZERO GRAVITY to 38% of Earth terrestrial gravity (the degree of gravity on Mars) will surely suffer total and complete physical incapacitation due to prolonged exposure to 7 to 10 months of ZERO GRAVITY.

Elon Musk never talks about these hard, unsolved physiological barriers to sending humans to Mars, much less instituting societal colonization of Mars - something that will NEVER HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFETIME.

You couldn't force Elon Musk to board his rocketship to Mars if you tried.
