Argumentative Essay Space

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 people that go to mars are risking their lives they can die of many things, including lack of oxygen and sickness. There is no atmosphere on Mars so therefore there is no oxygen which all humans need. The people will try to make an atmosphere by planting plants which let off oxygen, which could easily fail. Some

Following the detonation of two atomic bombs over Japan and the closure of World War II, the United States of America and the Soviet Union entered a period of ideological conflict, the Cold War. The United States sought to preserve and protect democracy throughout the world while the Soviet Union established communist satellite states. During the Cold War, the United States government pushed for the expansion of the United States space program in an attempt to demonstrate power and innovation over the Russians, and in doing so, accelerated the process of space exploration and endangered the lives of their astronauts.

Colonizing Mars would not only be a scientific breakthrough, but it would be extremely beneficial to the human race and their future. Mars would help humans in many ways by providing a planet for humans to fall back on if any bad event were to happen to Earth. Colonizing Mars would prove to be very helpful and rewarding. Also, many engineers and scientists like Elon Musk, founder of Space x and Tesla, are on board are on board with this futuristic idea.

We know more about Mars than we do about our own ocean on Earth. In 2030 Space X wants to send a manned mission to Mars to try to eventually colonize Mars. However, getting to Mars is very difficult and poses many problems. Space X should not send people to Mars because of too many health dangers. Scientist should spend more time trying to find out more about our planet rather than Mars.

Some people believe that having a single planet is risky and we should have an alternate planet to escape. An entrepreneur, Elon Musk, has built a rocket company, on which in the future a spaceship would bring settlers to mars. The settlers, according to this entrepreneur, would serve as protection against earth’s extinction

Musk conceptualized a project called “Mars Oasis,” in 2001, in which he would “land a miniature experimental greenhouse on Mars that contained seeds and dehydrating gel, after hydrating the gel the seeds would grow on Martian soil” (McKnight, 2001). The project was to regain a dwindling public interest in space exploration and increase the budget of NASA. Musk quickly realized that the expense of getting to Mars was far greater than he expected and that there would need to be a breakthrough in rocket technology. Musk traveled the world meeting with different rocket builders and space engineers in hopes of finding the right rocket builder and the right price to make his project a reality but did not find a suitable candidate. Musk had the idea of creating a company that could build the rockets that he needed at a fraction of the cost. Musk saw opportunity where others saw dead ends. He hired renowned rockets engineers and opened a facility in El Segundo, California, called SpaceX. “Musk decided SpaceX’s first rocket would be named Falcon 1, a nod to Star Wars’ Millennium Falcon” (Vance, 2015). A few of SpaceX’s achievements include: the first privately funded, liquid-fueled rocket (Falcon 1) to reach orbit (28 September 2008), the first privately funded company to successfully launch (Falcon 9) orbit and recover a spacecraft (9 December 2010), the first private company to send a spacecraft 9Dragon) to the International Space Station (25 May 2012) and the first private company to send a satellite into geosynchronous orbit. In 2011, Musk stated that he hopes to “send humans to Mars’ surface within 10-20 years and believes that by 2035 at the latest, there will be

Colonizing Mars Many governments and organizations such as NASA have always known that we could stay on Mars, but do people even want to? Everyone should live and colonize on Mars in the next few centuries. People on Earth should terraform Mars so humans and many creatures could live on the planet. Terraform means to transform a planet so people can live there. People should terraform Mars to create a new society that has resources, more space, and none of Earth’s problems for people.

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.

Some say that Nasa should focus more on Mars than on Earth. The House Appropriations Committee (HAC) even cut the budget for Nasa’s earth science program, causing major setbacks in understanding climate change and global warming (Foust). However, earth is more precious right now and pollution is slowly destroying

When we colonize Mars we will have grown to new learning heights, and to places we never thought we would be. Do you really want the technology to stay the same for the next 20 years, that would mean no new IPhone releases and no new discoveries. When we go to Mars, our rocket science technology will be so advanced that when we invent time travel and go back and tell our 2017-self about it, our minds will be blown. Isn’t that the dream? If we don’t colonize Mars then none of that will ever happen.

Earth is overpopulated and Mars has the potential to become a wonderful environment to live in. There are people who would jump at the chance to be able to live or go to Mars. Global warming has become a looming issue for the people of Earth. Mars has very little atmosphere and people need at

For 28 months NASA’s Curiosity rover explored Mars and provided data for scientific research. The reason why this research is being conducted is because NASA wishes to colonize Mars, which means to come to settle among and establish political control over (the indigenous people of an area). In order to do this we would need to terraform Mars which means to (especially in science fiction) transform (a planet) so as to resemble the earth, especially so that it can support human life. The risks associated with space exploration for colonization outweigh the benefits because of the massive amount of time it takes for the entire Mars mission process and major health concerns.

The new robotic spacecraft which is to be launch between 2020 and 2030, this new orbiter will increase communications with earth and overhead imaging capability. It will also have experimental use as high-power solar electric propulsion or an optical communications package, as well as capabilities to improve deep space. China was the first country to land on Mars, but United States and Russia will be landing there in the near future. Mars does have similarities of earth, such as valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of earth. The rotation period and seasonal cycle of Mars are similar to those of Earth. Is the Earth getting so over populated that different countries are looking at the universe to send people. But who would want to live on Mars and why would you? You wouldn’t have anything. The other countries are spending all this money to get to Mars, but why should we? We could spend it elsewhere. Why live on another planet, if God had wanted you there than you would have been born

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
