NASA Vs Mars

Money is a huge problem when it come to going to space. It would cost $230 billion to go to Mars. To put this into perspective, the government makes $4.1 trillion in taxes each year and our country owes China $19 trillion. There is no way that we could do a manned mission to Mars with all that money we owe. We could spend our money on feeding and sheltering the poor as well. This shows that going to Mars is way too expensive and it would be a huge waste of money if anything went wrong. With everything we can do with money on Earth, going to Mars is a huge waste of time and resources.

But what about a planet more than 200 times farther away. If we can colonize on Mars the whole world will believe that anything's possible. People will never give up and keep trying to reach their goals. Although people on Earth may be mad that scientist used 6 billion dollars, but it went to good use. It was used to giving hope and making people believe. Now we should go reach our dreams by going to Mars.

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

Every two months, a shuttle will arrive with drinking water for people. The main source of water on Mars is recycling. Leftover dishwater, the water you spit out when you brush your teeth- it all gets filtered and put back into the system. Although, 3.8 billion years ago, Mars may have had a denser atmosphere and higher surface temperatures, allowing a vast amount of liquid water on the surface. This amount of water may have included a large ocean that may have covered one-third of the planet. Due to the fact that the climate on Mars is cold and waterless, it is not a good idea to colonize

The Mars One project, a mission that will attempt to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars, has become immensely popular since its announcement in December of 2013. With the mission’s growing popularity, the CEO of the project, Bas Lansdrop, has established that within twelve years, the first humans will land on the surface of the barren planet and begin colonization (“Mars One: Roadmap”.) Mars One presents our species with the capability to discover new life forms, valuable resources, and it pushes the limits of our technological potential. It is not perplexing to see why countless individuals have signed up to be a part of this historic mission, and ultimately “the next giant leap for mankind.” (Lansdrop.) Although this mission

Fortunately, if the effort pays off, humanity could have a new home after Earth is no longer habitable. While the criticisms do bring valid points as to the difficulties of space travel and colonization, they can be overcome with mankind’s technology, the resources already present on Mars, and old-fashioned human ingenuity. India has developed a method to drastically decrease the cost of space missions, and SpaceX has successfully re-launched a previously used rocket; with their contributions, a Mars mission no longer has to break the bank. Thanks to NASA, colonists will be able to sustain themselves for a considerable amount of time using oxygenators and water reclaimers, ensuring they have breathable air and clean water. Pockets of geothermal energy beneath the surface will provide the key to powering a large colony long enough for nuclear plants to be established. Finally, plants can not only be grown in Martian soil once the proper nutrients have been added, but those plants will thrive in an atmosphere with a high CO2 content, which can be controlled with pressurized greenhouses. Colonizing Mars will be no easy task, but because of the contributions of scientists across the world, it is a task that is no longer considered

The United States was focused in winning the space race because it would show superiority to USS.R. Due to the cold war that was going on with USSR, America felt the need to out do the other nation. Being superior to the USSR would mean a sense of national security and symbolization of idealism. With an abundance of the support of the citizens in the 1960s, the space race had reason to take place. Now when the world has learned that it maybe crucial to advance together, instead of against each other, the question now is whether we should or not. We shouldn't go to Mars, because the money used to research space would be better spent on researching ways to help our planet and we should explore everything on earth before everything ever. If

It is unbelievably expensive to reach Mars. To reach Mars the cost is billions of dollars to send just a couple people to Mars. It will cost more than 4 times the money it took to reach the Moon to reach Mars, since Mars is so far away. Furthermore it would cost way too much money, and therefore NASA or any other international space station should not send astronauts to Mars. Compared to the amount of money it takes to reach the Moon this expeditions cost is outrageous. If we obtain the money for this expedition and it fails, billions of dollars would be

The next planet the video looked at was Mars. Mars does have a chance that it may be able to sustain human life. Mars is the one planet that most resembles planet Earth. A day on Mars is almost the same length as a day on Earth. Mars also resembles Earth because it has deserts, mountains, and canyons. There has also been a recent discovery of water on Mars underneath the surface. However, there are disadvantages to Mars. Mars has no magnetic field, so therefore solar radiation can get to the surface. Radiation is a huge problem for trying to sustain life on Mars; it will kill people and destroy their DNA. Currently, Scientists are

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

This knowledge could be used to plan a manned mission to Mars or the construction of a base on the moon. But these justifications for the station are largely myths. Here are the facts, plain as potatoes: The International Space Station is not a platform for cutting-edge science. Unmanned probes can explore Mars and other planets more cheaply and effectively than manned missions can. And a moon colony would be a silly destiny.

The other side of the debate is that the costs of pushing the boundaries in space are too high. The significant private capital can be raised for space exploration because even if NASA is unwilling to fund a particular project, does not mean it cannot take place. The Mars mission is not first in the list of priorities when there are enough problems on earth where money could invest. Overall, these questions and debates go back to the main question that is if the government should continue to fund for NASA 's exploration into space?

Mars, one of Earth's neighboring planets, has been studied since the beginning of mankind. More recently, however, the United States of America has been considering the human colonization of Mars. A manned mission to Mars is something humans need to pursue, regardless the price. A human colonization on Mars could provide the research to create another civilization outside of Earth, could show us what might happen to Earth in the future, and could provide itself as a space station/planet-to-planet trading port to launch rockets off of. A manned mission to Mars is a controversial subject; however, it should be pursued due to the evidence from past missions, the current evidence being found, and the pros outnumbering the cons.

Also, you are creating a new colony and a new world. Then we would have a new place to start a new world and find new resources.Once we do this now then we will have all the expenses done and paid for but, if we wait for the future when we have no resources to to make any money then we wouldn’t be able to pay the six billion dollar bill. It is better to be too soon than too late and most people would rather get it done quicker and that way while we still have this technology we can send over food supplies and keep an eye on if going to Mars is a good idea for new people to go over to create that new

Mars almost has a suitable environment, in the future, humans might be able to terraform Mars. There is a nearly sufficient amount of organic material on Mars to terraform the Red Planet, and start the life process. With the technology to come, this is one of the many advantages to come when exploring our neighboring planet.
