There are many reasons that Mars’ colonisation using Shoemakers Ark is a good idea, however, there are also many contradictory arguments that may also make Mars uninhabitable. Understandably, Mars’ colonisation seems like a fantastic idea to preserve the human race from extinction, but have leading scientist and powerful governments considered the small details of this seemingly impossible venture?
Firstly, Mars’ temperatures are far too unstable for human colonisation to exist. Currently, Mars functions at -127 degrees to 27 degrees Celsius which is far outside human comfort. However, as discussed in question 4, modern technologies can prevail over this complex issue through climate control measures for example. These measures can easily replicate Earth’s comfortable temperature and also regulate humidity. Compounds like these already exist in high altitude areas such as the Himalayas. Thus, scientists could easily create ‘Climate Control Compounds’ using similar techniques and construction methods. Therefore, with a simple adaptation to our already existent technology, we can be one step closer to creating Shoemakers Ark.
On the other hand, the colonisation in these Climate Control Compounds will be restricting and uncomfortable for the majority of civilians. Lack of Leisure resources and “open spaces” may result in conflict inside the Colonisation. This conflict does not provide any positive productiveness in the advancement of the human race. Strict rules,
However, there are several arguments against humans colonizing Mars. One of these is that it would be remarkably expensive. A single spacesuit costs about two million dollars, and the fuel required in the ships is millions more (Walker NP). The entire trip would amount to one hundred billion dollars. The cost of the equipment needed on Mars itself would have to be added in as well. Colonists would have to establish a permanent base with a source of water, food, and air, or be able to consistently resupply from Earth. This would cost billions more and require a massive amount of resources. The price of going to and staying on Mars would definitely be quite high.
However, humans can survive on mars by doing what Mark Watney done in the novel, The Martian. Humans can survive by putting air locked structures
In conclusion, colonizing Mars is a terrible idea There is no known natural source of water, Once you get there you cannot come back , and If you get sick, the astronauts
Utilities and Municipal Government in Lethbridge Lethbridge is one of the fastest growing cities in Western Canada. This gem of a city offers a wide range of economic opportunities as well as affordable housing for families looking for a more laid back, slower paced lifestyle. Although Lethbridge is growing at a very quick pace, the city has done a great job at implementing green spaces and recreational centres, while keeping its historic roots and culture. Here is an overview of the role the city government plays in Lethbridge and what you can expect if you choose to make Lethbridge your home. City Council Lethbridge’s city council is comprised of a 9 member council, which is headed by the mayor.
The movie, “The Martian,” by Ridley Scott is about an astronaut who’s trying to survive on an empty and lonely planet. The astronaut surviving on the planet Matt Damon, also known as Mark Watney. After his crew left him because they thought he was dead during a strong storm, Mark finds himself abandoned and lonely on a desolate planet. Mark try’s to send a message back to earth that he is still alive on the empty planet. NASA puts in non-stop work and fights to bring him back home. In the end, he returns back to Earth safely.
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”.
Dr. Robert Zubrin co-authors this book, which is his updated plan for settling Mars. His intentions to not bring much to Mars, but instead utilize its resources by terraforming and producing fuel are outlined within this piece. Zubrin is a reliable source on the topic, due to his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering and his previous job as an engineer for Lockheed Martin Astronautics. He is also considered a pioneer in the realm of Mars, as the creator of the Mars Society. The book is therefore a reliable, though somewhat biased, source for information surrounding Mars and its colonization.
“There’s as much chance of repealing the Eighteenth Amendment as there is for a hummingbird to fly to the planet Mars with the Washington Monument tied to it’s tail” said Morris Sheppard. In my opinion we don’t need a man mission to Mars. A man mission to Mars is way too dangerous. First, it is way too cold on Mars for any living thing.
Mars is a planet that has the capability of sustaining life. Should we or should we not colonize this red planet? My group believes that the UN should colonize this planet, because it will bring many benefits. First of all, it would provide us with many resources that we may not have in our planet. Humans need to find out a way to colonize a new planet because our planet isn’t gonna live forever At some point in the future we will run out of room on earth or use up all the resources. Our planet can’t support all the living people in this planet forever. We need to figure out what our next step in humanity is. We believe that we should start considering colonizing other planets because of the resources, growth and survival.
Why should humans colonize Mars? Humans should colonize Mars for their own well being. If humans want their future offsprings to be alive and well throughout the years then they need to find out how to colonize Mars and they need
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
If I were asked whether or not I wanted to be an early colonist on Mars, I would accept. Not because the thought of living on a newly inhabitable planet is cool, but because of the creatures that may already claim Mars as their own. Mars would be an interesting place to live, its dirt red and sky pink.
As I've said before, no one has put a settlement on earth. People are going to be a little unsettled about going to a new planet. We need a person who is going to assure these people to going to Mars. There are going to be mendacious people who will try to make the idea of going to Mars a horrendous idea. However, with a person with great persuasive skills who can get a lot of people on side, we will have no problem having people to populate this settlement of Mars. People will always reject a new idea at first, but when given a good a enough reason to believe, that idea will be
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
