Afterlife Colonizing Mars

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.

The ability to live on other planets is the epitome of transhumanism. Inhabiting a new planet will advance the human species beyond measures. New designs and products created for the advancement of mars inhabitation will create products for human use. According to Elon Musk, SpaceX will not only travel in space, but also transport people to anywhere in the world in less than an hour. For example, traveling by commercial airlines from London to Hong Kong would averagely take eleven hours. However, with SpaceX aircrafts, the trip would only take a mere thirty-four minutes. An astonishing diminish of time, which in return will completely revolutionize the manner of human transportation; no longer relying on planes, or ships. The idea of becoming a multi-planetary species is Elon’s main goal with SpaceX. As Ashlee Vance (writer of Elon Musk) said, “While Mark Zuckerberg wants to help you share baby photos, Musk wants to save the human race from self-imposed accidental annihilation.” (Vance, Elon Musk). Meaning, Elon’s main goal is to create a species that can comfortably live on multiple planets and maintain a curiosity for exploration in order to keep the human species

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

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).

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

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.

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

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

There are so many ways to wipe mankind off the face of the universe. There is nothing they can do to prevent most of them. All humankind can do is increase their odds of survival by colonizing on multiple planets. The question is what planet? Mars is the clear choice to colonize on because it is habitable for humans and is close to Earth. Moreover, the breakthroughs from colonization on Mars will help advance life on Earth, examples of this include Light-Emitting Diodes, and Anti-icing systems which help pilots fly through icy conditions safely. . The World Wildlife Fund, warns that by the year 2050, Earth will be unable to support life. The human race is urbanizing the planet at a pace that in 34 years or so, the planet will be exploited of all natural resources and space. Imagine a world where even the tip of Antarctica will look like downtown Hong Kong in China. A population like that can not be supported by Earth and long before that happens, Earth will reach its expiry date. It’s too late to stop Earth’s destruction with the rising population. All they can do is lighten the burden of Mankind on Earth, and start colonizing on other planets, and especially on Mars. The survival of the Human race depends on whether Mankind chooses to colonize on Mars or not. “Mars is there waiting to be reached”-Buzz Aldrin. Mars will be colonized, it’s just a matter of

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”.

We should colonize mars because people on Earth are destroying their own plant at a fast rate, also for the following reasons…..

Within the next few decades, humans will be found on another planet besides Earth. Nowadays, life on Earth is becoming so overpopulated that change needs to desperately occur. Not only that, but also there is the possibility that the sun will explode, an ice age will occur, or an asteroid will strike. There seem to be only two solutions to these problems: die off or go somewhere else. But where is there to go other than Earth? That answer is quite simple Outer space. This notion of traveling and living in outer space is becoming less and less trivial and more realistic as the years fly by. Due to all the scientific and technological advances we have today and the ones predicted to come

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

Look what people have done to Earth, now think about what Mars might look like when people go to Mars. People have polluted Earth so much that 6.7% of people die from ambient air pollution which is about 100,000,000 people. Since people have started global warming in about 1975 and is now growing faster and faster. It wouldn’t take long to pollute it and especially since Mars is 53% of the Earth. When people go to Mars they will already be polluting since rockets cause 5% of pollution so when hundreds of people start going to Mars the air won’t even be close to clean. In conclusion People will take another planet and just ruin it.

Mr. Musk would like to make it where there can be a self-sustaining civiilazation on Mars of about a million people. Musk's dream first started when he sold his share of PayPal to eBay in the year 2002 for 1.5 billion dollars. Musk wanted to send a greenhouse to the plant of Mars to see if Earth plants could live in Martian dirt but unfortunately his project did not pan out as he expected so he turned his greenhouse idea into SpaceX. SpaceX is right now used for launching satelites and sending cargo and hopefully in the future astronots to the International Space Station. Musk would like to make the human race a "multi-planetary species" even using this rocket to to go beyond Mars and to Europa in Jupiter. While I love the idea of adventure is out there and in the words of Buzz Lightyear "To infinity and beyond" I feel that this dream
