This is the Price If Planet Earth Is Sold

"This is the Price If Planet Earth is Sold"

Dream - Humans live on the priceless planet Earth. There are so many Earth's resources and benefits that are immeasurable in value. Recently, a scientist has analyzed the price of Earth if it were to be sold. This analysis is intended for humans to better understand the value and worth of the Earth we are currently stepping on.

Quoting Liputan6.com, in calculations made in 2020 by Dr. Greg Laughlin, who is now a professor of astronomy at Yale University, notes that the price of Earth if sold would exceed US$5 quadrillion (or US$5,000,000,000,000,000).

Laughlin put forward the price after measuring the mass of the planet, temperature, age, and other factors that directly correlate with its ability to sustain life.

To emphasize how valuable Earth is, Laughlin also estimated the value of other planets in our solar system based on their ability to provide resources for living beings. The closest neighbor to Earth, Mars, is only worth US$16,000.

The translation of the given text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags is as follows: The price of Mars is still higher compared to Venus, which he valued at only one cent. Perhaps Venus's atmosphere, which contains 96 percent carbon dioxide, and the wind speed of 320 kilometers per hour are related to this.

Laughlin did not anticipate that the value of the earth could be applied in the real world. Instead, he hopes that the number will inspire people to appreciate the only known home, namely the earth.

On the other hand, the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is currently planning the construction of a house on the moon in 2040. This house will not only be intended for astronauts but also for civilians. However, NASA has not disclosed the cost that will be charged to civilians for staying in the moon house.

This plan is still in the early stages. NASA has already depicted what the shape of the house will be like from 2022, but that conceptualization could potentially change over the next decade.

According to the Daily Mail, NASA has even provided funding of US$60 million (Rp937.746 billion) to a construction technology company called ICON, based in Austin, to build the house.

ICON that secured a NASA contract in 2022, will utilize its expertise in 3D-printing homes on Earth, constructing luxury homes layer by layer using its system, The Vulcan. ICON has also been 3D-printing homes since 2018 and has built over 100 homes in North Austin. Homes built this way have become increasingly popular due to their quick construction, with developers claiming they can alleviate the housing crisis in America.

In achieving the mission of building a house, NASA plans to launch a giant 3D printer to the moon and use lunar concrete made from rocks, mineral fragments, and dust to coat structures on its surface.

Deputy director of the Office of Science and Technology at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Raymond Clinton, who is now 71 years old, told The New York Times that he has never seen the average American living on the surface of the moon in his lifetime, but he hopes to see it in future generations.

"I hope I am still alive to see it," he said to The New York Times. "When we talk about sustainable human presence, for me, it means you have settlements on the moon and you have people living and working on the moon continuously. What can happen only depends on the imagination of entrepreneurs," he added. Another NASA agenda includes establishing habitats on Mars for space pioneers who will one day live on the Red Planet."
