Colonization is a term to many different disciplines. It is used broadly; from science to anthropology, from sociology to microbiology. Evidence-based history or scientific roots are prominent in all of these cases. However, when referring to Outer Space, the use of this term still draws from nothing but our imagination, since as of now no colonies outside of Earth exist. As society tears down Earths habitable parameters, scientists look for a new approach to life. If the human race wants to defer extinction, they have to look outside the realms of Earth. In our solar systems lies approximately 40 billion Earth-sized habitable planets orbiting around sun-like stars. Mars is one of them. In the means of all science (physics, biology, chemistry, etc.), Mars is the most likable destination for mankind. With today’s technological advancement rate, Mars will be relatively easy to get to and provide everything the human race needs to survive. In this essay, I will compare and contrast SpaceX’s, Mars One’s and NASA’s mission

The design of the plan has been specifically articulated to achieve the basis of a successful colonization. The objectives for the first mission will be to confirm water resources and identify hazards along with putting in place initial power, mining, and life support infrastructure. A second mission, with both cargo and crew, is targeted for 2024, with primary objectives of building a striving depot and preparing for future crew flights. The ships from these initial missions will also serve as the beginnings of our first Mars base, from which they can build a propelling city and eventually a self-sustaining civilization on Mars. The specifics of this plan seem to be the most feasible. Ensuring access to essential resources for human life before initiating any human activity on Mars is a necessity, which several other company’s missions lack to
