Michio Kaku on the Challenges of a Manned Mission to Mars

In this speech, theoretical physicist Michio Kaku discusses the challenges of sending a manned mission to Mars. He points out that it would be extremely expensive, costing about a million dollars per pound to put anything into Martian orbit. He also notes that it would take decades to prepare for such a mission, due to the need to develop new technologies and train astronauts for the long journey.

Despite the challenges, Kaku believes that a manned mission to Mars is worth pursuing. He argues that it would be a major technological achievement, and it would also help us to better understand our place in the universe. He concludes by saying that "we should try for a manned mission to Mars," but that we should also be realistic about the time and expense involved.
