Colonization On Mars

Curiosity was launched into space in Mars, its present and its primitive microbacterial life past. The robot is equipped with more than 10 differents scientific instruments. The Curiosity is obviously equipped with a photographic camera and two hours after having descended on Mars Curiosity take and send the first photos of the red planet. Return on August 6, 2012. Humans could travel Mars from 2022 on a spacecraft that would carry between 100 and 200 people every 26 months, Mexico scientist and businessman Elon Musk said in

costs six billion dollars just to send a couple of people to Mars. The people in which are organizing this expedition say it can be done by 2027. Colonizing Mars is a terrible idea, since people are risking their lives, there is not a natural source of water on Mars, and it costs a tremendously outrageous price to reach Mars.

Neil Degrasse Tyson once stated, ¨The day we stop exploring is the day we commit ourselves to live in a stagnant world, devoid of curiosity, empty of dreams.”Also, in the article, “Could Humans Actually Live on Mars?,” Laurie Vazquez, the author, writes, “For thousands of years, humans have looked up at the night sky and pondered their place in the cosmos. One little red dot in particular has long held our interest.” Mars, also known as the ¨red planet¨, is the fourth planet from the sun and is composed of rock with a thin, full of CO2, atmosphere. Additionally, to reach Martian land you have to leave Earth every two years because it is faster and safer when Mars is at its closest it can be to us. It takes 300 days on a spacecraft from Earth

The polar ice caps are melting, thousands are homeless or in poverty, and Earth is losing its resources fast, yet scientists and other people are trying to go to Mars, a whole new planet with, at least, just as many problems as Earth. Colonizing Mars has been a dream for a long time, and that’s what everyone thought it was for them until about now, but this brings up the question of whether humans should colonize Mars. Colonizing Mars has many problems, including money, resources, and global warming and pollution.

There has been a lot of talk about mars. Out of all the potential options, most have settled that mars is the best for humans. The enthused Frank Stratford, in an article, says, “let’s do this thing…Let’s approach this with the benefits of six decades of spaceflight, push through the costs and in one risky megaproject of settling Mars, reach to the benefits of advancing… so that we and future generations can grow from our new discoveries on Mars.” Indeed, Despite inherent risk, colonizing mars is both a priority and a goal for the advancement of our species.

Nasa’s mission to send humans to the planet Mars is too dangerous, cost way too much, and is inefficient. In the near future, (late 2020’s) Nasa plans to lift off a rocket with humans on it and travel millions of miles to the curious planet of Mars to get data on whether there is life on Mars. Nasa has sent robots to the red planet before, and have got great data, there has even been sightings of water on Mars, and in the near future Nasa wants to have humans live on the planet. The problem with that is, that it’s way too expensive, and dangerouse. They could solve both of those problems by sending robots too mars. Robots will get way more data than a human can, and travel way further.

Mars; the fourth planet from the sun, and considering the vast expanse of the universe, Mars is only a mere 49 million miles from Earth. Mars has been the object of many speculative questions and hypothesis. Over the years, many have wondered if Mars ever sustained life, or if not, if it were possible to one day sustain life; i.e. Humans. There have been many missions to Mars in an attempt to answer those and other questions, like the three separate rover craft missions that will be discussed in this paper. Most recently, the idea to put humans on Mars has gained traction and scientists have begun the process to put that plan into motion. The goal of this paper is to provide more in-depth detail of those missions, their

Colonizing Mars is not a good idea, once the crew gets to Mars they might die from, deadly ultraviolet radiation, the freezing weather, and toxic water on Mars, the crew that’s going to Mars will likely die in the cramped spaceship. In conclusion, colonizing Mars is not a very good idea just for all the flaws and risks it has for going to Mars. There are many things wrong with the idea for going to

It once seemed that the US Senate was in favor of sending a man to Mars. They've walked around, chins up high, claiming to protect NASA and represent the future of the organizations space exploration. Well despite this percieved support, the U.S Senate's new budget request won't be helping NASA soon. With the Space Launch System rocket under way in Alabama, the space agency was looking for a certain level of funding in order for completion, however, the Senate has all but complied. Even if they could get their rockets to launch, NASA still needs to undergo a series of tests for landing heavy objects on Mars. That's not possible if they can't get off Earth to begin with. For now, it looks like any serious exploration goals will be set aside, as the new leaders in space take the reigns.

According to Robert Zubrin, one of NASA’s aerospace engineers, "In 1989, NASA's Space Exploration Initiative Mars plan was expected to cost about $400 billion." ("Mars Direct"), today the projected cost is around 10-22 billion US dollars. The race to Mars has begun, with this race extending further than government agencies like NASA. The race to the new frontier has even become privatized, with companies like Mars One and Space X designing ways to hopefully reach Mars first. The mission to Mars and the first stages to colonize Mars will be very costly, with the cost of the spaceship, the spacesuits, habitats, getting oxygen on Mars, food, and how much people would have to pay to go to Mars.

The United States landed a man on the moon in 1969, and has returned a handful of times since. Even though the excitement surrounding the United States spaceflight program lessened after this event, there is now a new influx of curiosity surrounding humanity’s next destination: Mars. Introducing the debate surrounding the feasibility and morality of sending humans to colonize Mars. Recent plans by private companies and Mars One alike have sparked this discourse yet again (Do 192). While not short on desire and will, it is unsure if we as a species possess the technical capabilities of sending humans to Mars and sustaining a colony once there. Now the question lies in whether funding such a mission would be worthwhile, or whether the downsides outweigh the positives when dealing with one-way missions to the red planet.

This analytical essay will explore the possibility of colonising mars and will justify the issues of planning a trip to Mars, the issues and science around travelling to Mars and the issues and science of colonising Mars. Social and ethical considerations will then be discussed. The population is growing at a rapid pace with the population growing by over eight million people in the last year (World-o-meters, 2016). Astrophysicists at NASA believe Mars is the place to go. Author will mainly use the sources that are studying the travel to, and life on Mars. Based on the research, the author believes that humans do have the equipment to travel to Mars but do not have enough information or resources to be able to stay on Mars for

The first human being walked on the moon in 1969. This momentous achievement refueled humankind’s drive to explore. The next achievable planetary body, in this sense, is Mars. Due to its similarity in composition to Earth - far more so than the gaseous planets - and its comparatively short distance, Mars is the logical next step in human space exploration. Mankind should look to colonizing Mars to further its body of knowledge; promote the growth and development of science and technology here on Earth, using this development to vastly improve the lives of all; and preserve its spot in the universe. Our capability to do this is advanced, yet insufficient, and colonies in Mars are not safely possible anytime soon. The technologies for the

The first is the realization of an amazing dream! Sending a manned mission to Mars is a fantastic adventure. Imagine living on another planet, millions of miles from the Earth; looking up into the sky with the knowledge that one of the 'stars' is actually the planet you were born on. Who can even envision the incredible feeling of being the first human in history to step out of the capsule and leave your footprint on the surface of Mars? By this we implore you to not just think of that

In 2018 demonstration expedition will be launched to make sure some percentage of the innovations that are significant before sending human to red planet. A correspondence satellite will likewise be propelled to mars for sendind data that will move on
