Scientific curiosity; the ark of humanity




The theme of preserving humanity, creating an ark with the memory of humanity or with the genetic code of humans or animals or also as in the founding saga of Isaac Asimov that proposed the creation in that fictional galactic empire of the creation of two planets at opposite ends of the Garxia where a colony of scientists and researchers would live and all the knowledge of civilization would be stored there because a dark age was coming, a terrible age and the only way to try to make that terrible age as The shortest possible thing would be to save all that culture, all that knowledge in those two places so that at the time when flowering could begin, we could use that knowledge and that information to restore civilization throughout the galaxy.


This was on a Galactic scale, but on the scale of the solar system, there is a person who has a similar plan. Elon Musk is one of the main characters of the topics, this man who makes rockets is involved in issues of high-capacity technological development, making proposals of this type, there are things that I like and others that I don't like, and I have to say it because I have to tell you all the points of view.


Elon Musk has long defended that humanity must be interplanetary in order to preserve civilization, knowledge, and the species itself in the event of a catastrophe on Earth, whether nuclear or bacteriological or if an artificial intelligence goes to its head and arms itself. a tremendous mess in a skinnet plan, although it may be another type of ending, the curious thing is that one of his latest proposals is to dedicate is to create a colony on Mars, the colony on Mars is not the same as creating a scientific base or a mining base or an ark like what other researchers propose, or specifically on the moon.


A colony is a place where people would live and they would consider that place their house, their home and there they would create their family, a bit like the foundation like the colonies indicated by the foundation of Isaac Asimov's novel and one of its proposals to finance This is because the big problem is that creating a colony on Mars right now would not be profitable anywhere, there is nothing on Mars that the colonists can extract with which to pay for all the rockets and all the material and everything that is needed. take there, there is nothing right now; You have to generate a trade initially, before anything else.
