The mages of America could not find any factor that determined the strength of a spell.
"Sending a person to Mars would be very costly, and we need to achieve as many strategic goals as possible."
Magic is the most important subject of study in the next era, and this Mars landing is a golden opportunity for us to widen the gap with other countries in magic.
I believe that the American astronauts will not be defeated by this small difficulty.
Moreover, it's not that he'll become a mage on Earth before going there; rather, he'll go to Mars and then use the magic brain to become a mage.
NASA's chief scientist didn't finish his sentence, but his implication was that even if astronauts experienced psychological problems during their return journey after using the "magic brain," the damage would not be significant.
Losing an astronaut is an acceptable cost, as long as their goals can be achieved, even though training astronauts is very expensive.
In any case, after the user of the Demon Brain dies, the right to use the corresponding Magi will be released.
The unspoken implications at this level were perfectly understood by all the NASA executives present.
"I think we can do that. We'll get the final swarm of astronauts in, and I'm confident they'll be able to complete the mission successfully."
NASA's Mars program has four astronauts on the final shortlist.
On the eve of the Mars landing, the four astronauts will be selected by lottery to be assigned to different positions and to carry out the space mission in that order.
The default is that number 1 will execute the Mars plan, but if number 1 fails the medical examination, number 2 will be replaced, and so on.
The reason for using such a primitive method as a lottery is that spaceflight and seafaring are similar; spaceflight is simply seafaring in the 21st century.
Those whose success in executing a plan is determined by luck will continue to benefit from their good fortune in the subsequent execution of the plan.
The order in which the 18 astronauts were selected for the Apollo program was determined by drawing lots.
In this field, where physical and mental qualities are selected from among millions, luck becomes even more important than other conditions, becoming the decisive factor.
"Let's proceed with this plan, allowing astronauts to carry the Magic Brain into space while reserving the right to use one Magi."
We set the redemption location for the Magic Brain as the landing site for astronauts on Mars.
We have always had questions about Merlin's teleportation abilities.
Although the radio signals we received back then came from Pluto, this was only calculated.
The mage could very well fake the source of the signal, so we need to verify Merlin's ability to teleport items over such long distances through experiments.
In the Mars program's first attempt to land on Mars, the majority of those seeking stability were radicals.
Even though NASA has diverted some of its more radical members to commercial airlines like SpaceX, radicals still dominate the organization.
There are also a large number of fanatics who believe that explosions are art.
The main problem is that the technology is not mature enough. If the technology were mature enough, it would be possible to allow astronauts to enter a hibernation state during their journey.
Just like taking a nap, astronauts only need to stay awake before entering orbit and after exiting orbit.
During any other part of the journey, you can enter a dormant state.
If space hibernation can be achieved, it will not only greatly alleviate the psychological pressure on astronauts, but also significantly reduce the amount of food that needs to be carried.
However, there are still some technical difficulties that prevent the realization of space hibernation technology.
The main issue is that in space, the cockpit is very small, and living in a cramped and poorly lit space can feel claustrophobic and oppressive.
Although NASA has launched three relay communication satellites into orbit around Mars in recent years.
Astronauts can connect to the internet and use Wi-Fi to communicate with Earth's network while en route to Mars.
The latency is relatively high, but it does not affect astronauts' ability to browse the web and chat.
However, NASA dares not grant this permission because it wants to reduce the external stimuli that astronauts receive.
If some information on Earth were to provoke the astronauts, it could lead to unimaginable consequences.
Especially during a 200-day journey, it is necessary to minimize such impacts as much as possible.
However, considering the length of this journey, NASA has provided the astronauts with some recreational facilities.
This includes brain-computer interface VR with physical disconnection from the internet, which comes pre-loaded with some games.
I also brought an Amazon Kindle; books can bring peace of mind during a journey.

The significant increase in the budget America provided to NASA has led to a boom in the commercial space industry.
Originally, many of America's commercial airlines served NASA.
The same applies to China; among listed companies in the aerospace sector, the largest customer is SA.
Benefiting from this positive news, SpaceX's Starlink project has taken shape earlier than expected.
Starlink is nominally a satellite internet project created by Musk—a civilian infrastructure—but in reality, it can play a very strong role in the military.
During the large-scale operation in early 2022, it was initially thought that destroying the basic network infrastructure would cut off the internet, but the other side used Starlink to continuously transmit messages.
SpaceX is able to launch satellites in batches at very low rocket launch costs.
Back in 2021, five years ago, SpaceX launched around 60 Starlink satellites each time.
Musk has previously launched around 2,250 Starlink satellites, accounting for half of the total number of launches in the entire history of Earth.
