Years of Science fiction films, books and television shows have depicted civilizations on Mars, where humans have created a home on the red planet. Today, as a society, we are as close as ever to seeing that fiction to fruition. VoIPstudio, a hosted PBX (News - Alert) and UC provider, is sponsoring the Mars One Project in support of not just a Mars colony, but expansive space exploration.
The Mars One project plans to colonize Mars by sending crews of four every two years starting in 2024 with an unmanned launch in 2018. The unmanned launch will include a communications satellite and Mars lander to explore the planet and collect data. In 2020, another unmanned craft will be sent to Mars to find the optimum place for a settlement as well as collect data.
2022 will see the settlement equipment arrive on the red planet, and soup-to-nuts- by 2024 Mars will have a colony.
Martin Ozarek, marketing specialist said, “At VoIPstudio we believe that mankind is ready for settling on Mars. We're always aiming to break boundaries of understanding and enhance knowledge within business communication, therefore we could not resist supporting such a brave and visionary project. We are convinced that a settlement on Mars is no more than twenty years away and we are proud that VoIPstudio is part of that important journey.”
This technologically advanced program is relying on assistance from all over the globe as unforeseen issues could occur at a moment’s notice with safety the no.1 concern.
It is unclear who the four lucky settlers will be to kick off the development; the pool of candidates has been chopped from 200,000 down to 663 after a year of deliberation.
VoIPstudio is a cutting edge communications provider with its sights set on an innovative future. It is extremely positive about the Mars One project and is prepared to play a role in space exploration moving forward.
Only time will tell if the Mars One project is successful as projected, but it is clear no corners are being cut and the future is now. VoIPstudio provides a complete portfolio of communications solutions for the enterprise, and has been breaking the boundaries of collaboration at every turn. Remember, without a communications solution in place Ground Control never hears Major Tom. Stay tuned, as this appears to be just the beginning for VoIPstudio and space.
