Space1 Mars Connect

Every 2 years an opposition, favorable or not

The best time to observe Mars is in 2018 when close to the Earth

MARS CONNECT
Welcome to the founding of Mars Connect, a spinoff subsidiary of SPACE1. This new company organization and web presence is founded by Humanoido, on January 1st, 2018.


Mars Connect is an organization designed to connect Earth and Mars, create and gather significant resources for a Mars program, gain better understanding of Mars, support future Mars settlers and promote the future Exodus to Mars - an exciting evolution of humanity becoming a multi-planetary species!

Yes, we are going to Mars. However, not everyone can initially afford a half million dollars to ride SpaceX's BFR rocket to Mars, or wait the length of time it may take to begin the journey. 

On the other hand, SPACE1 remains optimistic that it will be the first to put humans safely on Mars.

Mars will still need support from the Earth. We intend to generate that support with Mars Connect. The orbital chart of the Earth and Mars from 2010 to 2020 shows an extremely favorable close approach in 2018 for doing studies, collecting data and creating resources. From July 23rd through Aug. 3rd, Mars will reach a very large maximum apparent diameter of 24.3 seconds of arc. The example photo shows a Mars opposition every 2 years. Some close approaches are favorable and some are less favorable. Mars is extremely far away during the alternating years in between the oppositions.

Space1 Rocket Size

Space1 - the future of space travel is here! As we move forward to launching our first man into space, thus kickstarting space tourism and opening the door to space travel in a new way, we examine the ramifications of the size of rocket launch vehicles. Are larger rockets dangerous? What are the costs? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Is bigger always better?

Does Size Matter? Bigger is not always better. Indeed the news not only for India but the rest of the world is a patterned trend for larger vehicles with more lifting capacity. At the surface of a money hunger grabbing game, more lift capacity generally indicates more money when taking more weight into space.

However "more" is dangerous, and requires more dangerous fuel, is more costly, takes more manpower to develop and handle, takes more years to design, needs more money in the millions and billions of dollars, needs a huge number of risky tests, and a long construction time plus danger with infinite risk factor. With more, more people will die.

Space1 does not follow this trend. We are not money hungry, money grabbing mongers. Simple, and less, is better. It's safe, costs significantly less, uses less manpower, development time is less, construction takes less time, systems can be more simple and more reliable, and people will not die.

As we move forward in 2016, after two full years of operations (Space1 was founded in January 2014), we are about to realize the biggest dream in mankind's history, and take our first space tourist into space using a paradigm of all new technology. Plus, we are the only space program in the world with the Safety Rocket.

India To Shift Toward Launching Bigger Space Missions In 2016
