Curiosity has always been the leading factor in division making among humanity, traveling, discovering and learning from our experiences to advance our species. If you were to live on a secluded island in the middle of the ocean, unaware of what awaits, if anything, beyond the horizon. Sooner or later your curiosity would get the best of you and eventually you will leave to explore, learn, develop and widen your knowledge of the area around you. The same can be said with Earth’s closest neighbor Mars. It is Mans next step to explore this rouged red rock, it is in our best interest to fuel our curiosity and answer the countless questions that we have. Brad Kelechava, a graduate from New York University, agrees in that we should colonize Mars, in which it would benefit our race in

Then there is Jessica Orwig, a graduate student from Texas A&M University, that agrees with those such as Elon Musk, that Mars should be the planet that makes Humans a multiplanetary species. University graduate, Brad Kelechva believes that the colonization of Mars would be very beneficial to the Human Race, in ways such as an over population solution, a larger source of resources, as well as the first step into advancing our species. Currently the population of earth is just over 7.5 billion people, and is estimated to almost double at 13 billion by the end of the decade. From there the population will only rise even faster. In Kelechva article he states that colonizing Mars would be a great solution, writing, “Essentially all habitable land on Earth is claimed by one country or another, so there’s nowhere for people to go if they want to try something new. Mars is a blank canvas,” (Kelechva 1). An entire planet with nothing but space provided for the needs of humanity. Kelechva believes that not colonizing this plant would be a mistake, as our land for agriculture use dwindles while of need for it continues to rise.
