Space travel..after the moon to Mars
"Al-Mawed" visits Cape Canaveral in Florida and inspects preparations for sending devices to Mars.
No human being in the past had ever imagined that humans would reach the moon. This was a fantasy. Now, after reaching the moon and walking on its surface, scientists are heading to reach Mars by sending scientific devices to explore this planet.
The writer of these lines had the opportunity to visit Cape Canaveral and inspect the huge preparations that are taking place and have taken place previously to send a man to the moon, some of which were not even announced to the public due to the danger of the places and to avoid obstructing the projects being worked on. Previously, huge films were made recording this historic event of sending the first person to the moon, which was of course Neil Armstrong, whose character was played in the film “First Man” by the artist Ryan Gesling.
What is amazing now are the huge preparations on an unreasonable scale, everything from the rocket that is launched into space, to the engines that drive these rockets and their number, as well as the device that works as a huge carrier the size of a small house to transport the rocket from the factory to the platform that will send it into space. It is a small building that moves on four wheels that we can call wheels like a car wheel, but each wheel is the size of a very large transport vehicle that moves on tracks like tank tracks but on a size much larger than the tanks we see. These huge "wheels" are connected to each other by bridges 70 meters apart, on which the rocket is placed after it is manufactured in a building specifically for that purpose, and the huge "ship" moves carrying the rocket from the factory to its launch platform in space, which is close to the factory. This huge "ship", as I said, is about 70 meters by 70 meters, moves at a speed of 2 feet per minute, i.e. very slowly due to the huge load it carries and its large size. This huge "ship" consumes 50 gallons of gasoline per hour, which is a special type of fuel other than the regular gasoline that we use in cars.
The rocket that I saw there had 5 huge engines to propel it into space and it was about 100 meters long and of course its diameter was large to accommodate the astronauts. It also included a museum with some of the pieces that were used in sending this event which was considered a turning point in the history of the world. After that, I cannot help but admire the audacity of the first astronaut to the moon, as of course when he was launched into space he did not know or think whether he would return from there or not. I would have loved to meet Neil Armstrong, but unfortunately he passed away some time ago.
