Afterlife Colonizing Mars

Forming a society on an inhospitable, deserted, and entirely hostile planet was far from being an easy goal. Everyone presented their plan to colonize Mars, but no one had a perfect plan. There was always a spot where a difference was notable, such as the decision of bringing frozen human embryos. The Martian, a movie that was about surviving the Red Planet, also showed notable unique features in the habitat. However, by analyzing the differences of these colonies, combining ideas could have lead to a very efficient colony. Thus, Mars could have been the start of human expansion throughout the solar system.

May mankind become an interplanetary species in the near future, conquering the planets, and the vastness of space? Martian Metropolis by Meg Thatcher explores the idea that humanity may find itself venturing into new territories and adapting, living and thriving on the red planet. However, a multitude of challenges and difficulties will accompany such a monumental feat for civilization. The Martian environment is extreme, formidable and inhospitable to life. Numerous examples of statistics and data in the text shed light and validate the obstacles obstructing the colonization of Mars, and creating a secondary haven for mankind, such as cosmic radiation, extreme temperature, and the atmospheric composition.

Recently, I have read Mars is Heaven (MIH) by Ray Bradbury and The Machine Stops (TMS) by E.M. Forster, which are both short story Sci- Fi books and a fascinating read. Both stories were published in the 1900’s and there are similarities between today’s society and the society of the past. Intriguing concepts, theories and ideas stem from both of these books. Much like in (TMS) the role of technology is seen as a god, today we could never see ourselves worshipping at our mobile phones however if you really think about it we check our phones a couple of times a minute. Is this a form of worship? And are we aware that it is evolving into something that is taking over our lives completely. After reading both novels I have decided to identify, analyze, dissect and expand on a range of critical approaches both authors have used in their books (MIH) and (TMS).

The purpose of this study is to understand the complexities and possibilities involved with colonizing Mars. The road to sustainable life on Mars is not as simple as habiting an uninhabited island in the middle of the ocean. In fact this is much easier and has already been done. Colonizing Mars would be on the same difficulty scale as colonizing the Moon, despite Elon Musk, CEO and founder of PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX, and several other currently smaller companies such as The Boring Company, preparing for such an event with what he refers to as “Moon Base Alpha” (Musk, 2017).

Terraforming Mars is one of the most controversial topics on our journey to outer space. The scientific community is unsure of the moral impact of terraforming. Some people and scientists such as SpaceX and Nasa think that it is the right thing to do. However, others disagree. For Philosophy Now, Paul York argues that “While at first sight it might seem as though human beings ought to be able to do whatever they like with a ‘dead’ planet, ... it is by no means a straightforward ethical matter, and may even be morally wrong – a massive act of vandalism, in fact.” Robert Sparrow, a philosophy professor at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, argues that “we should leave Mars alone and drop any and all ideas about terraforming the red landscape”.

Now we are a step closer to making it our second planet that humans have lived on. But there is a problem! We as in humans have spent billions upon billions of dollars on the trips to the moon and sending a drone to Mars, Pluto, etc... But why are we trying to find a way to get to another planet and not trying to save this one. Lets fast forward a couple thousand years right! We have made our way to Mars and concurred it. What are we going to do to our sweet mother earth. Are we going to leave it destroyed or will we still care. The only thing that is going to happen if we come to Mars is the same thing that happens on Earth. We are going to destroy Mars as well. We are going to live there and then destroy it in a mater of millions of years. Why do we have to move to another planet when we can just stay and fix

Soon Mars could become another livable planet with people walking around on it. Earth is being overpopulated fast and Mars could be the solution. Mars has territory that the Earth needs. Once scientists send a few people and learn about mars we can send more people up to Mars. Eventually mars will be just like Earth, with cities, farms and people roaming around. People going up to mars can build us a new planet.

This proposal is a response to the question of How likely is it that humans will be able to colonize the planet Mars.

The colonization of Mars and other planets has ethical concerns. In this paper, I will discuss the important issues that make us question whether it is moral to colonize other planets or not. In the last thousands of years, human kind has progressed a lot. Our technological advancements have made life easier, but have also come with high risk. Our progress has made biological, nuclear and chemical weapons easier to acquire, and new risks such as artificial intelligence are now arising. The consequences of climate change and natural catastrophes look very curtain for the future. With risks like these, there is no way humankind could survive on earth forever. Due to these risks, I will argue

The prospect of exploring Mars and starting a new human colony there is an exciting one. Many people are eager to learn more about that possibility, and many people have ideas of what life would be like and how society would be run. An important part of running a successful colony is having a strong government to oversee the colony. If I were a part of an advisory committee for a colony on Mars, I would want my fellow advisors specific traits and characteristics that would help to advance our colony and allow it to thrive.The four other advisors to influence the society would be adaptable, open­ minded, and humble.

Space—the final frontier. Ever since the beginning, man-kind has dreamt of escaping the world around us and soaring high, up into the clouds. Many people today still share those same dreams, but they are now looking past the clouds, past the moon to a red planet we call Mars. Three companies are in a race to colonize Mars: NASA, SpaceX, and Mars One. Colonizing Mars will lead to many positive outcomes—new technologies, economic advantages, more jobs, and ideas to avert the population crisis of the future.

Humans have been traveling to space for more than forty years, since the Russian "Yuri Gagarin" penetrated Earth's gravitational field, and took orbit around the Earth. But since that date, man did not go out for permanent residence in another place outside the original planet, not to mention the International Space Station, which always carry different sets of pioneers reside for several consecutive months, that is if we consider that as a kind of accommodation. Since long time ago, the human kind is looking forward to get out of the planet and colonize other planets, and this not because we are running out of spatial area on earth in the near future. There is no doubt that colonizing uninhabited deserts is still much easier than going to other planets. But it is perhaps more about the challenge, which mankind carry against the wide universe. And perhaps is due to the imminent depletion of the planet's resources with the terrible population explosion, and the need to search for new resources. In addition to this, in the very distant future, earth population may reach to numbers that the planet cannot stand. Until that time, getting out of earth may become inevitable. Of course, if we think of colonization of a planet, the first planet would respond to our mind is Mars.

There are nine planets in the solar system. Each planet is unique and special in its own way. However, the planet that is currently able to sustain life is the third planet Earth, which us humans live on. Unfortunately, because of the digression of the planet the human race of the future may one day have to relocate. Once that day come the government will have to choose one of the planets to colonize and terraform. Though all the planets have some type of property that would allow it to be terraformed, Mars will most likely be terraformed and colonized into a new Earth.

Many space scientists have been theorizing the colonization of Earth’s Moon, Mars, and some of the farther planet’s moons like one of Jupiter’s moons, Titan. People on Earth have been consuming an excessive amount each year, which is more than what our planet can handle. Plus, our population is only bound to grow, but Earth will unable to be as resourceful as it is now for future generations. Not only is that a problem, but climate change is another large factor in the move from Earth to Mars or the Moon. Scientists from NASA, European Space Agency, SpaceX, and Boeing space exploration companies have been discovering numerous possibilities on how we can colonize other planets in our solar system. Many of these ideas are focused around how we get out of our atmosphere, ways to make the travel in a shorter time, and what kinds of people they’d be sending up into space. Some have thought

A very popular argument for space exploration is to protect our Earth that we have managed to almost destroy, by finding another planet to retreat to. Many people believe the only option is to spend billions of dollars, that we do not necessarily have, into space exploration. It is said that there are Earth-like planets that would potentially be able to support life. People believe space exploration is necessary for long term survival. It is a popular concept that something drastic will happen to Earth, weather it be caused by man or natural disaster. Basic facts state that if we continue treating Earth the way we do, Earth will not be able to support human life and will be rendered uninhabitable. With the information that I and billions of other believe to be legitimate many people jump to space exploration as the only answer. A popular concept is terraforming. Terraforming is the process of transforming a hostile environment into one suitable for human life. Being that Mars is the most Earth-like planet in our solar system, it is the best candidate for terraforming. It is believed that terraforming any planet would take centuries for just the initial steps, and much
