Lei feng's network multiple times reported ailong·masike, founder of SpaceX and Tesla, but wants to change the world and want to do something in the outside world, such as terraforming Mars. Starbucks iPhone 6 Plus Case
However, he knows that this life is not to turn Mars into a habitable planet that day, but hand SpaceX and Tesla's genius, still doesn't have a clear plan, and that is how to seed life on Mars. He wanted and the legendary geneticist Craig Venter to work on the red planet of Mars "printing" of life.
"Print" life is not easy, but now according to skills, this is not a new idea, and unfulfilled dreams. United States NASA's best scientists believe human colonies to other planets, we need to put human genes into bacteria, these bacteria will launch into space, when they finally landing on other planets, then to restructure their genome data.
This is a musk has been supporting school, worthy of our attention, in today's era of musk is the only one most likely to let people colonized other planets.
Musk is not simply "printing" of human individuals, on the contrary, he wants to print the bacteria and other organisms to help us use of "digital biological transformation" of Mars to Earth. The converter was developed by Venter, its original DNA code can be embedded in a "universal receptor cell", thus creating life.
Venter on musk, biographer of Ashlee Vance said, "I think bio-technology is the key to truly make our colonial Mars, Andy Herron and I have been discussing how to implement this technology. "
Venter fame because of the human genome project, as the name suggests, this plan to sort the entire human genome for the first time. Venter was also the first to create "synthetic life" person, he removes a bacterial gene encoding, replacing it with a synthetic gene.
Venter's genes with the printer in musk's plan is more played in a supporting role, that humans have the ability to create a new life that can survive in any environment. Vance pointed out that on Mars DNA printers can make "early settler of Mars to produce drugs, food, and some bacteria. "
This is a very important point, because Mr MASKEY told Vance that he considered creating a self-sufficient colony on Mars is possible, but live outside the closed housing problem is that he has not solved. On Mars, if we want to survive and are no longer dependent on life-support systems or in the closed structure, we need to transform the Martian environment.
"Ultimately, if you want to Mars become Earthlike planet, you need to make it heat up, for which I have no plans", Thomas said, "in my lifetime there is no opportunity to become Earth-Mars, perhaps not without opportunities, 0.0001% of opportunity, but you must use only the most extreme methods. "
More or less, Venter digital creature converter is only a prototype, but it has been the United States Defense Advanced research projects agency support. Now it can only print DNA, Venter hopes one day it can "print" out of living cells. Venter said the printer "ink" is a common receptor cells, it can hold any type of DNA binding and create life.
The Guardian reported that "Venter intends to improve the digital converter to produce a living cell, relied on his 2010 synthetic cell breakthrough technologies, make the process more automated. Work is in full swing, focus ' universal receptor cell ' research and development, which can accommodate any synthetic genes and life bio blank media. "
Venter is doing other work, let the United States National Aeronautics and space agency and the other on Mars, scientists were able to discover the genetic sequence of an object back to the Earth, and research lab-made.
"Alien species will be returned to Earth for recycling, it sounds like science fiction, but is realistic to a certain extent. "
Then do it the other way round is also workable, musk Mars colony staff made some extreme environments on Earth organisms, if they can survive on Mars, then in theory can change at a very slow speed environment of Mars, making it more suitable for human living. Starbucks iPhone 6 Plus Case
Musk is expected to make the Earth-Mars takes one to ten centuries of time. Meanwhile, early Mars settlers need living in controlled closed environment.
In his view, "establishing a self-sufficient colony on Mars is highly likely, will also have a lot of people who are interested in selling off property to leave the Earth. To Mars to find a job, work to build it. If the transport is no longer an issue between the two planets, then build a sealed transparent housing becomes less difficult. But if you can't at first arrived, are no problem. "
Besides Lei Feng network reported Hyperloop project, musk has been working to solve the transportation problems of the planet, if he had succeeded, perhaps Venter can help him complete the remaining steps of this grand plan.
