China announces plans to put the first humans on Mars by 2033 and aims to build a base on the Red Planet

China plans to send its first crewed mission to Mars in 2033 with the goal of constructing a base and extract resources from the Red Planet, according to a new presentation made by Wang Xiaojun, the head of China Academy of Launch Facilities Technology.

The ambitious plan will intensify a race with the US to put humans on Mars, with NASA aiming for sometime during the 2030s.

Wang's Mars roadmap consists of three stages for colonizing the Red Planet, with the first using robots to find possible sites for the base on Mars and building systems to source resources.

Humans will then take the 239-million-mile journey through space and upon landing on the Martian world, will construct the base.

The final stage envisages fleets of spacecraft shuttling between Earth and Mars and major development of its resource.

The initial mission is set to launch in 2033, with subsequent voyages happening in 2035, 2037, 2041 and 2043, among others.

The “face on mars” is already masking up in preparation for COVID/SARS-33.

And just would these “First Humans” be?

Gates, et. al.

Biden? Xi Jinping? Pelosi?

I say that if they think they are the First Humans, Bon Voyage.

I have seen photos from one of the rovers up there showing what they claimed is veins of gold on the surface.

Problem is with that, they haul that gold back to earth the value will drop? No?

Since they intend on shuttling back and forth, might as well bring some gold back with them.

A miserable existence, clawing for life every moment of every day.

For as long as you live. Never to return home.

And there’s a line of volunteers.

Everyone should thank Bill Clinton for giving all of the USA’s rocket telemetry to China including the actual computers in order to pay for his second election. What a guy?

A long and arduous logistical nightmare.

Nice space program you got there, sure would hate to see something happen to it.
