In the late 1960s, when people were asked when humanity would colonize Mars, most said within a decade. It\u2019s clear that off the excitement of the Moon landings, the red planet seemed obtainable. And according to NASA Astronaut Chris Hadfield, it was.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could send people to Mars decades ago,\u201d Hadfield told Business Insider. \u201cThe technology that took us to the moon and back when I was just a kid \u2014 that technology can take us to Mars.\u201d Knowing the risks of a long deep space journey and being dumped on a world with conditions harsher than any on Earth, he went on to explain we didn\u2019t go because \u2018the majority of the astronauts wouldn\u2019t make it.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a long 34 million-mile slog through space to reach Mars (when it\u2019s closest to Earth). A trip that could take anywhere around seven months, traveling at about 24,600 mph or 39,600 kph (the speed of a spacecraft leaving Earth\u2019s atmosphere). This increases the risks of mechanical failures, radiation, starvation, and many other unforeseen problems.<\/p>\n
