A lot of research is going on in the scientific world to build a settlement in another planet. Why India is behind? So, there were about 1 million Indians have purchased the ticket to Mars.
NASA, a Space Research Center, is carrying Mars on May 5, 2018. Online tickets were sold for this mission. India has the third place in the world of ticket booking for Mars.
Those who go to Mars will have a name in silicon wafer microchip. Those names will be inserted through electron beam. Then the chip will be placed on the head of the space station. NASA's successful response to this Mars mission was from India. Nasa has received 24 million 29 thousand 807 people from all over the world so far. India has the third place. United States of America placed after China.
Space researchers say that since this mission is NASA, it is naturally selling more tickets to the USA. But it was important to them that China and India responded so much.
NASA researcher Andrew Good Times of India said that ticket booking has ended last week. The name is not being taken anymore. The total mission of the 720 days will reach the Mars on November 26, 2018.
How does it take to spend a full year in the spacecraft?
Even if you have the chance to see the wonderful scenery, one year away from home, going to an International Space Station may not be ideal to spend the holidays.
But American astronaut Scott Kelly has to do exactly that.
He had to stay at the International Space Station for 340 days continuously.
He told the BBC, 'I am an astronaut. We go to space. Maybe one day we will go to Mars. Then maybe we have to stay there for a long time. So we try to understand from the space, how long will it take to stay longer? And this is why a space station is an ideal place.'
But in space, there is no such thing as a vacation. There they have to do a lot of works.
He says, "We have to wake up six o'clock in the morning. Our activities can be divided into three categories. Firstly scientific research. Then there are repair or maintenance of various hardware in the station. Apart from this, we have to do many exercises every day. '
Kelly does not claim to be a scientist, he rather think himself as a subject of science.
'I may be called a operator of scientific experiments,' he said.
Scott Kelly said, 'When it's gone for a long time, we look outside the window of the space station. Especially we monitor the experiments that has already conducted. '
'Sometimes we see the world. It looks very good to see the earth in the violet blue. Then we feel very lucky that this beautiful place is our address. But at the same time, many areas of the world also see pollution. It is clear from here that the world is changing. '
