How much does the mission cost?

Mars One estimates the cost of putting the first four people on Mars at about six billion US dollars.

 

Dr. Gerard Blaauw, ambassador of Mars One
April 2, 2012

Dr. Gerard Blaauw, chairman of the Netherlands Space Society, has agreed to become an ambassador of Mars One. Over the duration of his career he has built an impressive and diverse network in the international space industry and is a respected figure in many fields, including strategy and business development. He gained a wealth of experience in these areas working for a variety of companies and associations, and we at Mars One are very pleased to count him as one of our ambassadors.

 

About Mars One
Mars One is a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to establish a human settlement on Mars through the integration of existing, readily available technologies from industry leaders world-wide. Mars One intends to fund this decade-long endeavor by involving the whole world as the audience of an interactive, televised broadcast of every aspect of this mission, from the astronaut selections and their preparations to the arrival on Mars and their lives on the Red Planet.

Webb will reside in an orbit about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from the Earth.

The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST) is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope. The project is working to a 2018 launch date. Webb will have a large mirror, 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter and a sunshield the size of a tennis court.

Both the mirror and sunshade won’t fit onto a rocket fully open, so both will fold up and open once Webb is in outer space.

The Next Economic Miracles

“FCC club lunch with Ruchir SHARMA
Topic: Breakout Nations: In Pursuit of the Next Economic Miracles

Mr. Sharma will talk about the main themes in his new bestseller, “Breakout Nations: In Pursuit of the Next Economic Miracles”, for example that the astonishingly rapid growth over the last decade of the world’s celebrated emerging markets is coming to an end. He feels that the era of easy money and easy growth is over. China, in particular, will soon slow, but its place will not necessarily be taken by Brazil, Russia or India. To identify the economic stars of the future, the speaker feels we should abandon the habit of simply extrapolating from general global trends and look at emerging markets individually. The new ‘breakout nations’ will probably spring from the margins – even from the shadows. Sharma identifies which they are most likely to be, and why.

Ruchir Sharma is Head of the Global Emerging Markets Equity team and also leads Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s Global Macro effort. He joined Morgan Stanley in 1996 and has 18 years of investment experience. Mr. Sharma has been a contributing editor with Newsweek and writes for publications such as The Wall Street Journal and Time. He is also a contributor to The Economic Times, India’s leading financial daily, and has been writing a regular column on global financial markets since 1991.

ALUMINUM-AIR PHINERGY BATTERY

Widely available, aluminum contains high amounts of energy (8kWh/kg). It is also easily recyclable, making it an attractive material for energy systems.

Thanks to its revolutionary components, Phinergy’s aluminum-air energy systems use the energy released by the reaction of aluminum with oxygen to generate electric power. Our proprietary air electrodes transform Phinergy’s aluminum-air energy systems into highly effective, robust, and reliable clean energy sources.

Our proprietary process of anode production results in increased use of aluminum energy, while reducing unwanted chemical reactions to minimum.

Phinergy also utilizes an advanced battery management system for ever so increasing the energetic utilization of the battery.

Our aluminum-air energy systems are superior to conventional batteries in terms of energy density and specific energy. Our systems are mechanically reloaded, avoiding long charging time.

The life cycle of aluminum enables to maintain global energetic balance. Phinergy’s aluminum is produced in places where energy is clean and cheap, such as electricity from waterfalls. It then serves as a means for transporting this energy to places where it is required.

When used in an aluminum-air battery, aluminum turns into aluminum hydroxide. Aluminum hydroxide can then be recycled in the aluminum factory, enabling a closed and sustainable life cycle.
