for decades and Mars is the most logical first step toward humans being an interplanetary species. We don't just need one nation to be selfish and spread itself to other planets no this needs to be and experience for the world. There are several reasons to go to other planets and mars is just the tip of that iceberg. We need to go to Mars in case of a catastrophic event, overpopulation, and it has a lot of resources, for scientific development. One, reason we should colonize Mars is in case of some
College Composition 1 Argumentative Paper Colonization of Mars should Start There are over seven billion people living on Earth right now and that number continues to grow every year. The Earth will eventually become overcrowded and resources will begin to deplete and a new areas to live will be sought out. Human always find new places to live and thrive and space may become frontier for new human settlements to thrive. The planet Mars is one of the closest planets that reassembles Earth and is
Technology Supporting Life on Mars Though the Martian terrain echoes similar features on earth, the overall atmosphere has dramatic differences in which the developed technology plays its role in making this science fiction a reality. The achievement of sustainable life on Mars would be a potential solution towards overpopulation restoring the natural resources, decreased global warming climate changes, reduced habitat loss, etc. Nasa scientist has developed technology that provides the fuel
Mars One Mars One is an organization and future mission with many goals. Mars One has plans to launch a one way trip to Mars in the year 2025. By sending out Mars One, scientists hope to achieve goals such as humans surviving on Mars, successful plant growth, and to find out more about the planet. Mars One is a non-for-profit organization who runs mostly on donations to fund their missions (“About”). Mars One was founded in 2011, but was not well known until a few months after (“About”). The Mars
Good old Mars? In the story “ Mars is heaven”, Ray Bradbury utilizes many descriptions of the setting to create an enigmatic and mystifying tone for the readers and portrays, Mars as a symbol of heaven. As we know, the story is about a group of astronauts who are on a mission to travel to Mars, a completely unknown and unfamiliar area to them. The objective of the trip is to explore the environmental conditions of the planet and analyze whether the planet could be inhabitable for mankind. After the
Though we seem many years away from interplanetary travel, a project called Mars One wishes to establish a colony of humans on Mars by 2026. They plan to send a crew of four on a one-way craft every 26 months. An important factor in the success of these missions are the people selected to live on Mars and their influence on this new society. They should have traits that will benefit and sustain the colony on Mars. Therefore, the four individuals selected should display traits of resourcefulness and
Why We Should go to Mars “It was obvious to me that we could never colonize Mars without reusability, any more than America would have been colonized if they had to burn the ships after every trip,”(Dave, 2017). This is what Elon Musk said in an interview in Fortune Magazine on December 9th 2013. The fourth planet in our solar system, Mars, is the closest “Earth-like” planet, Which is why SpaceX, NASA, and many other organizations are trying to make a human trip to Mars possible, as well as learning
Will Humans Ever Live On Mars? Global warming. Nuclear warfare. Donald Trump. These are some of the problems we face in today’s society. In order for the human race to ensure its survival from such threats, it is imperative that humans expand beyond earth and into space. If the earth were ever to be destroyed, the human race would continue to exist on another planet. Many scientists believe Mars would be a suitable planet to begin colonizing. Mars has ice underneath its soil, which translates into
An alternative proposition to make Mars suitable for human habitation is terraforming Mars; to deliberately change it’s environment to provide Earth-like ecosystems and that are suitable for humans. Terraforming Mars would be a long time in the future, it would take more than 50,000 years to terraform Mars if we started now. Other sources state that “it would be hundreds of years before the thin Martian atmosphere could be transformed into an oxygen-rich cradle for life” (Livescience.com). Turning
Mars is a planet that is 35 million miles away from us, yet it is one of the closest neighbors we have. From 8 years old kids to scientists who are 80, all dreamed of being on Mars. Even if the manned Mars mission would not be a reality until late 2020s, thousands of hardworking individuals are chasing their dreams. The Martian is a science fiction novel written by Andy Weir that focuses on the survival of astronaut, Mark Watney on Mars. Watney was one of the 6 astronauts on Eris 3 program; unfortunately
probes. Now that the Shuttle fleet has been retired, should NASA develop new rockets to send people back to the moon? Should we send people to Mars? Should NASA focus on unmanned missions instead? Is money spent on space exploration beneficial to society? State your opinion about the proposals currently being considered to send astronauts to the moon or to Mars. In 2011 NASA’s budget was recorded at about eighteen billion dollars, .5% of the $3.4 trillion federal budget of the United States. This
The idea of space exploration and/or colonizing in outer space is fascinating to many people. In fact, it has intrigued societies for decades. The book, “The Martian” by Andy Weir, is a fictional story that presents the possibility of manned space exploration to Mars. Although, no country has sent a manned spacecraft to Mars, Weir does an excellent job making this task seem like a reality. He seemed to portray space travel accurately. The story presents problems, mathematical, scientific, and sociological
Zachary Watson Mrs. Willet Astronomy 3/5/13 Terraforming Mars Terraforming Mars is the process of making mars hospitable to human life and colonizing a safe environment for people to live. Mars, in retrospect, is the most earth-like planet that resides in our solar system, therefore it is the best planet amongst those around earth for us to attempt to inhabit. I would choose to use a timeline of one thousand years to complete the inhabitation process. Most scientist’s timeline is between one
together. One thing both these books had in common was with what the Author Mr. Bradbury had in mind while writing these. He had the future set in his mind. And he saw the deepest of the future. An example of this is how he had us going to war and mars by the year 2000. That is ambitious. Ray Bradbury really changes our world with the stories he has written. I t seems to me like his stories are warning of what not to do. The first time a writer of science fiction and fantasy received a Pulitzer
1999, NASA lost its two major missions to Mars. Mars Climate Orbiter (MCO) and Mars Polar Lander (MPL) were part of a bigger project Mars Surveyor Program (MSP) that began in 1994. Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) was the first part of this project, launched in 1996 and ended in January 2007. This report discusses the Mars Polar Lander with two Deep Space 2 probes, on board with MPL, and the most probable causes that may have led to MPL failure. BRIEF HISTORY Mars Surveyor Program of NASA started in 1994
The big question is should we go to Mars, I think that we should not go because it’s eight months to get to Mars each way. You could get so bored and lonely that your mind goes crazy and drives you to death.The short story Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death! says, “...Crew members also struggled with the mental stress of being isolated from society for months on end.” Page one hundred fifty-three. Living on Earth and going to Mars is very different because you can only eat the certain

prospect of a mars colony, the first things that come to mind are only the positive outcomes. Only when you look deeper into this expidition do you start to see the enormous cost and extreme dangers associated with traveling to this planet. What people also fail to realize or comprehend are the political and socio-economic repercussions of furthering our advancement to colonizing the red planet. As a nation in this day and age, I do not think we should undergo a full scale colonization of mars. While this
Mars Cannot be Colonized—Not Yet It has been exactly 45 years since any man has set foot on the Earth’s Moon. Now, after almost half a century, Mars One has released their plan on sending the first humans on a one-way trip to Mars in attempt of colonizing the red planet. While this will become a great feat for humankind if it is successful, there are numerous downsides to colonizing Mars, including a dysfunctional society, extremely high costs and unfit living conditions. Despite the Benefits, Mars
Colonizing Mars Going to a Mars is an idea that is heavily debated in society and whether it is worth all of the government dollars to pursue a mission like this. The concept that will be explained is the idea of colonizing mars, as well as the various effects that it would bring upon humanity. This will includes issues such as Mars’ weather, how we plan on getting there, and what the cost to travel there will be. Past endeavors when it comes to space travel will also be discussed The benefits to
