Space1 Machine Trip to Mars


Space1
Machine Trip to Mars
SPACE1 Industries is looking at a different and more safe timely way to inhabit and colonize mars

The idea is to use this MARS Machine being developed and tested during the October 2020 Mars Opposition.

The idea is to establish a presence on Mars without using the conventional more dangerous technology (see SpaceX rocket Merlin and Raptor engines). Objectives include a safer path to Mars, faster flights round trip, and the establishment of fast bases for rapid expansion. Complex engines such as the powerful Raptor and Merin are not needed with the Mars Machine, which works on a different principle.


The Mars Machine is a futuristic dimensional technology that interpolates and extrapolates parametric identities to and from the Martian surface. It uses orbital technology for the injection of positional orbits above, below, and around the Martian surface. SPACE1 has spent two years since the Mars 2018 Opposition in developing the technology inclusive of specialized software to drive the system. The Mars Machine is large and heavy and combines dimensional time, potential, and kinetic energy to achieve parametric positioning across Mars. We hope the Mars Machine will be ready in time for the upcoming opposition.







































The technology of a Mars spacesuit is not needed when traveling with the Mars Machine, saving millions of dollars of development cost and time.

Large costly orbital Mars stations and habitats are not needed saving billions of dollars. The Mars Machine is capable of projective dimensional inhabitation modules. Stay tuned as we test this new technology.

Space1 Diesel Spaceship

Connecting the RTA96-C, the largest engine in the world, to a spaceship? The mechanical monstrosity is available in 6 through 14 cylinder versions, all are inline engines. The engine alone weighs in at 2,300 tons and is capable of delivering 109,000 horsepower. By comparison, a single SpaceX Merlin engine weights 470kg (1036 lbs) with 189,964 pounds of thrust which is 8,635 horsepower. 1 HP is about 22 pounds of force. These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships but similar large diesel engines run large ships of all kinds. Ship owners like the combination of a  single engine and single propeller for reasons of efficiency and cost of production vs operation of these mega-vessels. As ships continue to get larger with new generations of larger container ships being built each year shippers like Emma’s owner, A.P. Møller – Mærsk, will need a bigger engines to propel them.

Retro Mechanical Diesel Internal Combustion Spaceship? Spoof or Potential Reality?

Going retro-punk? If the oil industry had their way, would space ships run on massive mechanical-stroke gasoline engines of several cylinders with internal combustion methods of antiquity? But is this possible? Rocket engines already run on kerosine, not too far displaced from a gasoline or diesel formula.

Luckily the space industry is not governed entirely by gasoline and diesel fuel from big oil industries. Though, massive engines for the space industry such as the Raptor by SpaceX still run on carbon based fossil fuels such as methane with other engines using kerosine.

By the additive numbers, nine Merlin SpaceX engines are at 77,715 horsepower while a single RTA96-C delivers 109,000 horsepower. So why not stick a single RTA96-C on a large rocket? Perhaps the issues are MTBF rating, weight, and size.
