Nasa on the other hand is planning on sending humans to Mars by 2030. Because of the new advancements in space technology, the…

has been looking into the colonization of Mars since the 1950s. There have been multiple attempts and successes in travel to the “Red Planet”. These missions however, cost upwards of 100 billion dollars and have only consisted of orbiting and probe landings on Mars. NASA has never sent humans to Mars. Most taxpayers dislike the idea of increased funding because they will have to pay more money to the government that could be wasted on failed missions. On the other hand, space travel advocates…

In this paper I shall go explain the pros and cons of whether or not humans belong in space and why I believe that we must venture into the far reaches of space in order for the human race to survive.

The side that argues against space travel says that it can be very costly and it is not worth the time and money. They also say that it could do us…

While the idea of living on Mars may seem worthless and impractical, the colonization of Mars could have a worthwhile effect on not only the Earth, but the Universe. Space travel has been on hold since the space race in the sixties, but given the current spark in curiosity and drive, the idea of going to Mars is becoming a reality. Having an alternative Earth may seem frivolous, but at the rate at which the Earth itself is depleting, an alternative home planet is the most viable option for…

Often, the form of government that a society utilizes is determined by a variety of factors that are complex and difficult to control. However, as we look towards the formation of extraterrestrial colonies, we have the chance to discuss the governance of these colonies in a way that could shape the future of humanity. There are a variety of options for the governing of such a society, and each must be considered as we discuss the form of government to adopt in such colonies. With several factors…

more NASA budget cuts and a rise in private contractors looking to space. The budget cuts may even be costing the US more than its saving them. A writer from the washington post says “Since the shuttle 's retirement, the United States has been forced to rely on Russia to take its astronauts to the station, an expensive and troubling arrangement that now costs $76 million per seat” (Davenport). There are multiple astronauts on the space station with multiple launches a year, the price of using…

enforced spread of the rule of reason. But who is going to spread it among the colonizers?” This emphasizes some of the main problems with space colonization, and how prevalent it has been in history. This concept can be seen in the novel Nemesis by Isaac Asimov, which explores the development of colonies in space, and how different individuals react towards colonization.
