16th July 1969 is a day written in golden letters in the human history. The world noticed the first human space-lift with an ambition to capture the Moon. This was the time of an ongoing technical race between the USA and the former USSR, history recalls it as the ‘cold war‘. In fact, the ROSCOSMOS of the former USSR was ahead in this technical battle, with Yuri Alekseivich Gagarin’s journey into outer space during early 1961 in Vostok 1 space capsule. This venture of USSR was very counted and accurate as they already accomplished Sputnik 2 in 1957. Needless, to say that the Soviets had more advanced propulsion engineering capabilities with high payload carrying rockets and docking systems. Then how did the USA surpass the USSR in this race? If they achieved it, why didn’t they further their plans on Moon? This question has been addressed by a lot of people but the debate is there till date. The pieces of evidence on men being on the Moon are also lopsided. With more players on the field like ISRO, CNSA and private players like SpaceX and Skyroot, the competition has resurfaced. But, are we neglecting something essential? Can we physically be on the moon or the mars? Is our body capable of such acclimatization?
Rocket engineers from the soviet sides have at first tried to disapprove the claims of NASA and tried to prove it “false” but with weakening the Soviet Union and subsequent perestroika, all these people and their ideas disappeared from the limelight. A recent mathematical discovery that has been published in The Moscow Journal (peer-reviewed technical journal) titled “Innovation strategies in health economics: a force that makes blood move and game of gravity in it – futuristic economic plans” has tried answering all these questions effectively. The discovery mostly deals with hemodynamics of blood and medical aspects. But equation no. 5 of the paper puts massive claims and has changed the perception of fluid mechanics. They have come up with a new formula to describe Reynold’s number, termed as Samajpaty-Reynold’s condensate equation; Re = F v / π Sf g η (Sf + r), where Sf is the length of the blood vessel, r is the radius of the blood vessel, g is the acceleration due to gravity, F being the force of blood flow per unit area and v is the velocity. When all parameters are constant it signifies; Re = F.v /Ж η where [π Sf g (Sf + r)] = Ж; constant. This means, on the Moon the value of Reynold’s number is 6 times that of on the Earth since gmoon = (gearth / 6) approximately. Concluding a highly turbulent flow of blood inside our blood vessels, which would lead to cardiac failure, rupture of small blood vessels in the brain. The same will be the consequences on Mars but in lesser magnitude as gmars = (gearth / 2.5) approximately. NASA themselves have reported jugular vein thrombosis in astronauts from the international space station, and they couldn’t give an explanation for it, but there seems to be one.
So how did we walk on Moon? Did the men who did so possess supernatural powers? – definitely not. The genuineness of Apollo missions is still a debate. The pertinent question which arises from this is – are we leading space research in the proper direction or have we enslaved it in the political scuffle of different countries and private players? NASA has announced another lift to the Moon through its Artemis project and on the other hand, Russia has joined hands with China to make a lunar space station which sounds unimaginably cumbersome considering the blood hemodynamics. Is this again a power-hungry game, a complete show-off hoax? Will they be landing on someplace where no monitoring satellites are present? Photos and videos can be doctored. We can devise robots to collect rocks, soil, and other such things, it’s a 3rd-course mechanical engineering job. We have to wait and see whether these projects will happen or be dismantled citing financial or other such reasons. This ain’t 1960s anymore, the whole world is connected. Let’s see what the future holds for our space missions.
