Our Solar System For Colonization

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.

We like to think of space as some vast place of mystery; just waiting for us to explore it. It lives and breaths in our media, “Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before (Star Trek monologue)”. The dream of one day exploring space has been around for decades. And while we have had some success in that area, there is still much more to explore. One such area of exploration is Mars. People have been interested in Mars for years now, wishing to one day colonize the red planet. And one day, we will do just that. Not only to fuel are curiosity, but also to help save our species, and bring resources back to the blue planet that we love so much.

“Could Mars be the home for future generations”? The growing concerns of overcrowding, and global warming leads to the conclusion that humans must start looking for alternative habitats. Mars, also known as “The Red Planet,” is adjacent to Earth, the fourth planet from the sun and thought to have once contained life as recently as 60 years ago. The possibility of inhabiting Mars has intrigued humans for years. Landing people on the planet would be a very encouraging step and establishing a permanent settlement would be a huge achievement for technological and societal progression. The colonization of Mars is a difficult goal that will be accomplished by creating a facility that sustains life, transporting qualified candidates to the planet, and adapting the candidates to the planet

For whatever reason, the planet Mars has always been synonymous with alien life in popular culture. This makes it very interesting to study. Recent studies have taught us a great deal about Mars’ surface, water content and geography as well as suggesting that it may have been capable of supporting life in the past. Further study of Mars’ ice caps, various impact craters and other sources has helped scientists glean information of the planet’s history and the wealth of information that can be gained from its study. Of course, the most popular topic about Mars is its present habitability and presence of life, both of which are still very possible. Mars will be an excellent planet to analyze due to its proximity to earth and its ability to potentially sustain life.

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.

During the earth’s 4.5 billion years, it has not been recorded for one species to alter the planet so radically as humans. The Anthropogenic era brings much anticipation and wonder on how far mankind will continue to change the planet and face the upcoming issues such as climate change that humanity will endure in the future.

There are nine planets in the solar system. Each planet is unique and special in its own way. However, the planet that is currently able to sustain life is the third planet Earth, which us humans live on. Unfortunately, because of the digression of the planet the human race of the future may one day have to relocate. Once that day come the government will have to choose one of the planets to colonize and terraform. Though all the planets have some type of property that would allow it to be terraformed, Mars will most likely be terraformed and colonized into a new Earth.

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

Throughout the extensive history of the earth, the human race has been striving to achieve great accomplishments and leave a beneficial impact on the world. In order to do this, the human race has made technological advancements and broadened their knowledge about the universe, which is precisely what colonizing and settling humans on Mars will accomplish. Even though the journey to Mars will be unsafe and unaffordable, it is advantageous because Mars is the most scientifically similar planet to Earth, it will provide a difficult challenge that will expand our species’ knowledge, and it will ensure the survival of the human race. Overall, colonizing Mars will be a significant accomplishment in the earth’s history and will identify a period

Society is in the midst of a great debate surrounding whether or not to establish a colony on the Martian surface. Those opposed insist that numerous health risks associated with such a lengthy mission exist and the monetary costs would be a burden too large to bare (Huff; Do et al. 222). However, proponents of the plan argue that Mars is an opportunity for society to restart and improve its conditions (“Founding Declaration”). More support comes in the form of the red planet being labeled as a world of potential life (“Founding Declaration”). Consequently, humans must explore in order to find any such life (“Founding Declaration”). With improving technology, more money, and less risk, a Mars trip is within society’s reach and should be pursued as soon as possible; to disregard such an influential opportunity would be to strip society of the chance to improve and gain valuable knowledge.

Mars is our 4th planet in the Solar System in the Milky Way Galaxy, It consists of frozen water, but it's water is underground because the atmosphere that was there is gone, and it kept the water warm on mars, but since it the atmosphere is gone, the water froze into the ground. People are also thinking about traveling up to mars, and colonizing it for the future to live on for generations to come.

Mars, the red planet, is one amazing planet in our solar system. With advancing technology and experiments, putting boots on Mars will come in the near future. There are still many issues that require us to solve for any human mission to Mars. Mars is unique because of all the similarities it has with Earth and how it may have once harbored life. There is also strong indication that water also flowed through the vast landscape of Mars in the past and that water may still be trapped deep below the soil of Mars. However, we are still in the process of learning about all the spectacular processes that are undergone in Mars, such as water vapor and scientists are current finding solution to detect water vapor and analyzing the various chemicals

Imagine being able to walk on a new planet no one has ever stepped on before, and explore it. Mars has water and life. If something ever happened to Earth humans would move to Mars. It’s by far the most livable planet other than Earth. Mars should be colonized because if anything happened to Earth, humans could live on Mars. Mars also has the supplies we need, like water, humans just have to purify it. And it’s the most livable planet other than Earth.

Have you ever imagined stepping outside your home airlock onto your yard of martian dirt and rock? This may be what your grandson may see on his way to work on the oxygen tank at the base. There are many obstacles to living on Mars because humans have the right technology to live on Mars, the right amount of materials to live on Mars, and the right training to have this come true.

A lot can be said about Mars. It was named after the Roman God of War, Mars, for its red color. One of the biggest topics of conversation regarding Mars is whether or not us humans should be looking to colonize the Red Planet. I won’t be getting into the debate of privatized or public space programs because in the end they are both working towards a common goal of getting to Mars. The points I will layout through this essay will be, is Mars habitable, how much money it will cost to get to Mars, some thoughts from Stephen Petranek and is it an actual solution.
