even if life on mars is death, it is better than death on earth . Why risk dying, well Mars One told us. “Why did Columbus travel west? Why did Marco Polo head east? it’s that pull, that unknown, that prospect of adventure that compels humans to seek new…
Mars, a red, cold dry planet people are thinking about colonizing. If you ask me this is a bad idea. Mars is dangerous, unsanitary, and you can get many diseases and sicknesses. Mars is dangerous. There are sand storms.…
Most naysayers of manned space travel focus heavily on the danger to the astronauts and the massive amount of resources that are supposebly wasted in space. Some argue against government funded space programs while others argue against space travel in general, but all say they have good reason. Space travel is expensive, many people say that we could use this money to fix many of the world 's problems such as hunger and poverty. This is a very good rebuttal to space exploration as the problems with poverty are very important. Yet the amount of money that could potentially be made with space technology such as asteroid mining would help these problems far more than just redirecting current funds out of space.…
Mars is a planet that will not be left alone, we will continue to learn more and more about it with the help of the advanced technology we have today. Our earth is a perfect place for mankind but in the end it is going to get worn out just like anything that is used too…
Despite the risks, the benefits for humans of a manned mission to Mars allows, offers, and ensures the new birth of exploration for the world. It will allow for more accurate information about Mars, the ability to explore farther out in space, and the spaceflight will allow the bringing together of different…
Moon Colony Authors and astronomers for a long time now have fantasied about the idea of a colony on the moon, and to be fair, who hasn’t? With all the recent advancements in space travel technology and with private companies, such as Space X, filling the void of an underfunded NASA, a moon colony seems to be on the horizon. However, there are a lot of dangers and problems that come with building a colony on the moon, so that brings the question, is it viable and safe to build a colony on the moon?…
In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s arrival to planet Mars, Deputy project scientist Dr. Leslie Tamppari presented a summary of NASA’s research and discoveries. Within the last decade, over two hundred and fifty terabytes of data have been sent home by the spacecraft, giving us insight about the Red Planet during the ongoing search of water and habitable zones. The idea of water on Mars has such high relevance because it is a necessity to any type of living organism. Although present day Mars currently has no liquid water that is stable on the planet’s surface, physical traces of canals and dominant signs of past water flow have been found with use of MRO’s high resolution camera.…
The first thing they don’t talk about, is the economic potential there is with space exploration, similar to how the invention of ships expanded the economy of many early civilizations. Then, with their point of spending more money on other things such as improving our atmosphere or changing the weather, they fail to realize that NASA’s funding has been slowly decreasing these last few years and still nothing related to the oppositions suggestions for what the money should be spent on has been done. NASA’s funding is so low that it can’t even launch their own astronauts up to the International Space Station, instead they buy a seat on one of Boeing or SpaceX rockets, and still no money is going towards the things they suggested. Another argument they don’t realize that’s invalid is that NASA does nothing. Throughout their research, development, and launch of ships into space they have created several pieces of technology that are still used today.…
One of the problems about living or visiting Mars or the moon is the cost . And colonizing it. If we do colonize either one of the planets we would be destroying the natural planet in all its beauty. The cost of just a ride is $500,000 per person, and even if you do pay the money to go to Mars, who knows when you would be going, because your…
We will tell you who it is a good thing, and can be helpful. Mars one is a good thing because we get to learn and explore a new planet. The first reason is that when planet earth runs out of resources like iron and stuff we can go to mars and collect the minerals there. Going to mars will help us build more and more with new sources.…
The second reason is bundle of cost. Also their many more reason why. I do not think we should make a manned mission to Mars. One reason is that we humans can get a disease which can give us brain damage. Before I tell you more reason why going to the planet called Mars is a bad idea, it can also be a good idea to.…
Yes, there has been ideas that we could live on the moon but, Mars is more likely to assist life because Mars is a planet like Earth unlike the moon. Also, here on earth are so many research opportunities that Americans could partake. Those research possibilities being the cure to illnesses or diseases. Krauthammer criticizes our problems here on Earth and believes that they will always be problems so why wait for them when they can not be…
Mars’ resources alone would make this venture economically feasible and shows that the red planet has endless potential to support human…
This is a goal that the human race has been trying to achieve for years. The one problem with this is that we may have another space race to get to mars instead of the moon. This could also help our economy. Our economy would rise if we were able to make it to mars. Many people would want to be a part of the program to be some of the first on mars.…
In the next 30 years, we can colonize Mars. Thanks to technological advances and years of mars study, we will be able to travel to Mars and use its natural resources to create permanent human communities on this planet. Why do we want to colonize Mars? Humans have a natural curiosity for the unknown; we have a great spirit of adventure, we are fascinated with the idea of an adventure, exploring the unknown. Colonizing Mars is a very challenging mission, but the once achieved the satisfaction and the glory of colonizing Mars will repay for all the hard work and dedication .Think…
