THE AMERICAN SCIENTISTS PLAN GARDENING OF MARS.
THE AMERICAN SCIENTISTS PLAN GARDENING OF MARS.
NJU-JORK, on February, 23rd. A/correspondent of ITAR-TASS Jury Kirilchenko/.
Perhaps, the statement that "on Mars there will be apple-trees
To blossom ", and it seems to someone naive, but only not American
Scientist. For them words from an old song sound like the scientific
To enlightenment. Americans already now plan gardening of Mars,
Which is capable to make a red planet lived for people.
As appears from the performances which have sounded recently on
Conferences of the American association of assistance to development of a science,
To mankind quite on forces to make Mars a blossoming garden, if
To connect forces of the nature to possibilities of a modern science. On
To opinion of experts, by means of gene engineering it is necessary to create
The plants, which would provide to themselves a protective cover.
Similar "hothouse" would make for them possible a survival in
Conditions of Martian colds and the rarefied atmosphere.
Developing oxygen, plants gradually would create
Comfortable conditions for residing of people - Martian
Colonists. According to one of authors of similar idea -
The honourable professor of physics and astrophysics Princeton
University Frimana Dajsona, it is much easier "to grow up environment
Dwellings, rather than to construct it "as" people are accustomed
Lives in woods ". Similar inoplanetnoe habitation, from its point of view,
"Cheaply, conveniently and easily gives in to development".
The necessary genetic material for experiments on gardening
Mars, has noted Dajson, is available on the Earth. After all many animals
Are fine adapted for protection against the adverse weather
Conditions and enemies. "Think of a turtle who lets grow
The armour, or a polar bear whom the fur lets grow, - has resulted
The scientist some examples. - such not too it is possible to plants,
But, probably, we will manage to learn them ".
These pictures as if are borrowed from the science-fiction
The novel. However representatives of National board on
To aeronautics and space research/NASA/,
Present at a forum, have concerned them without the slightest
Arrogance. On the contrary, they underlined, ideas of professor Dajsona
"Stimulate thinking" and allow to present more clearly
Future picture. Moreover, space department of the USA already
Makes experiments in the specified direction, in particular, on
To cultivation "in a test tube" the vegetables, differing the high
Productivity.
In a word, experts, in the outer space exploration future recognise
The biology will posess so important place, as well as to the physicist,
And also to other exact sciences. Also it is a question not only about
"Timber jobs" on far planets. As has noted
The leading scientific expert of NASA of Katie Olsen, itself the biologist on
Specialities, are created experimental models of computers,
Which radically differ from present versions. Them
Basis are "neural networks", otherwise, structures,
Reminding a human brain. The problematic were modelled
Situations of which the car should find a way out
Independently. For example, aboard the "conditional" space
The ship inconsistent instructions, and the computer went
Was able to "decipher them", accepting the correct
The decision. During one of virtual experiments the computer
Even could provide successfully plane planting, "the lost
Wing ".
However, inevitably there is a question: who will finance
Creation of similar futuristic systems? After all possibilities
The governments are not boundless. Scientists hope for the help of the private
Sector which shows huge interest in
Active outer space exploration. As a vivid example here can serve
Space tourism which just about from idea will turn in
To practice. As predicts Friman Dajson, hotels in space will be
To be created by almost same rates, as well as laboratories. As
The scientist, people has noticed, which do not know where to put money,
Are ready to go behind adventures to the most improbable places,
Including for terrestrial gravitation limits.
