Colonization of Mars

Musk – a businessman, the CEO and chief engineer of the company SpaceX. Robert Zubrin, the president of the Mars Society, and Robert Chambers, an engineer working on the Mars Base Camp concept. According to Mr. Musk’s idea of sending people to Mars, he had found a feasible business plan, which could lead to the execution of his desires. The main issue is to build a new rocket for Mars colonization called the Interplanetary Transport System. As Mr. Musk said, the slimmed-down rocket is going to…

Mars has a very harsh environment not yet suitable for humans. However, compared to other planets in space, Mars is humanity's best chance at attempting to colonize. The colonization of the Red Planet is drawing near due to many different space venturing companies coming together. Furthermore to this topic, large debate is only rising since the opinions of many are strikingly divided. "Mars today, despite its subzero temperatures (on average -63°C), thin non-radiation and savage global dust…

Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles describes man’s exploration and colonization of Mars. Knowing it is written by Ray Bradbury and during the 1950s; one should note that this is a Si-Fi fantasy. It begins in the year 2030 when the first astronauts are sent to Mars to explore. The Martian people keep killing the astronauts, because they believe they are illusions created by the mind (to clarify, Martians have telepathy). After a few waves of ships, the “deadly” disease chicken pox, spread by…

efforts were revealed that one must destroy the blacks that try and stop the colonization. This writing began with, “pile on the brown man’s burden to gratify your greed; go clear away the ‘niggers’ who progress would impede” (Henry Labouchere, “The Brown Man’s Burden,”…

study, Mars is emerging from a 400,000-year thaw. The recent research may also give NASA scientists more information about the Red Planet. Information scientists can possibly use to understand Earth’s changing climate better. The Mars ice age ended roughly 400,000 years ago, yet the planet is still pretty frosty. Scientists believe that the massive amount of ice that once accumulated around the Martian poles could be the reason. The study’s findings noted that if all that ice was spread over…

Sending Humans to Mars: The Next Giant Leap for Mankind When Neil Armstrong landed on the moon he spoke the iconic line “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Sending people to Mars would produce the same reaction. It would be mankind’s next leap, maybe even the greatest leap of all time. If landing astronauts on Mars was achieved it would be quite a feat, but taking this leap isn’t the only reason why we should get people to the red planet. Sending humans to Mars is critical…

planet. Improvements in medicine and energy production can result in the exploration of space and the colonization of other planets. “The Gemini and Apollo programs were child’s play in comparison to the threat of human life posed by long duration, deep space missions to such places as Mars” (Launius 124). Humans do not truly know what can happen during long term space travel. Traveling to Mars by spaceship will take 3-6 months. We have never had a human travel that far of a distance away from…

Mars One, how has this project been an advantage to our life? Founders Bas Lansdrop and Arno Weilders dreamed of stepping on the red planet but could not do it alone. Traveling to Mars should be pretty exciting but the extensive amount of preparations, twisted monetary issues and lifestyle changes for the explorers leave a ton of up in the air questions. Mars One has its contributions to society and mankind but is a great debate with valid points on both sides. With the process of colonizing…

Mars and Earth: Same Same but Different "We know how much radiation is out there, waiting for us between Earth and Mars, but we’re not sure how the human body is going to react to it" says Frank Cucinotta, Space radiation health project of NASA (Burgess & Dubbs, 2007). A new adventure comes along when there is no other giant planet and limited space to block during a long voyage to Mars. Mars has always been the final destination that many scientists turn to in terms of colonization of other…

Mars, the fourth planet away from the sun, is our next door neighbor. Since Mars is pretty close to Earth (compared to other planets) and we have the technology; people will move there and never come back. This one way ticket to Mars is called Mars One. People have made this the experience of the century, and each day we learn more and more about Mars. Leaving Earth to go to Mars probably means leaving your whole life on Earth and starting a new life on a whole new different planet that you…
