Pros And Cons Of Mars Mission Plan

How much money do you think it will take to get to Mars? Is it worth the risk? Well it actually takes more than one trillion dollars to go to Mars. The risks are also very high, if you wanna know the risks keep on reading. It doesn’t even take that long to read. Anyway this essay is about why I think we should not make a home in space.

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

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

For over the past century, Mars has seen the spotlight countless times in popular media. War of the World's, published in 1898 by H.G. Wells, was a science fiction novel based on a Martian Invasion. The novel has been continually published since its creation and not only inspired countless inventions, such as the multi stage rocket and the liquid fueled rocket, but also brought the thought of Mars in to the imaginations of the public. Ever since, the world has continually pushed towards Mars with technological advances in aerospace engineering and space exploration. The space race between the United States and the U.S.S.R. started a space craze among the public in both countries.

This article is from the website controlled by NASA, the US government agency in charge of astronautical research and exploration. All of NASA’s activities are funded by federal taxes, and this website’s aim is to inform citizens about what the agency plans to do with that money. This article outlines NASA’s goals relating to Mars travels, including what technologies need to be developed, when the mission may occur, and why such travels are considered important.

The topic of going to mars is highly discussed among scholars and ordinary people due to the reason that it is believed that Mars can support human life. Due to the fact, that global warming is on the rise has caused many scientists to believe that eventually the earth’s ecosystem will plummet, making life on earth for humans impossible. Many scientists argue that extra research on mars is needed due to the fact that the human race would eventually be forced to migrate outside of earth, if there is to be a continuation of the human race. However, the funding for such research is immense as it is, and it is projected that this “budget will increase by 20% by the government within the next few years.” This astounding increase in budget, has led to many uncertainties as to why the government funds such an expensive research for humans to leave earth when that money could be spent on the problems relating to global warming. Here on earth it is a fact that global warming is a serious issue regarding the future of the planet. Therefore, the government funds should be allocated to research ways to emit less carbon dioxide or to try and find cleaner and safer ways to create energy for the growing human population. Another reason to stop funding the research and exploration of mars is that most space exploration is caused by human curiosity. Human curiosity has led multi-million dollar institutions like NASA to explore the deep wonders of the world and discover new technologies which changed the world. Despite, the curiosity and the technologies that exploring the universe has brought, this interest is extremely expensive and time consuming. At times the curiosity led space exploration projects were made to look like a patriotic act due to political reasons. As a result, these projects were believed to be well-worth spent since it brought great

Humans have always searched for something better in every aspect of life. Out of this thirst came innovations such as the telephone, motorized vehicle, and even plumbing. Now, some are searching for a new planet to live on altogether, and their eyes are fixed on Mars. A new planet would mean the possibility of saving Earth’s resources by using resource and idea exports from Mars, but also major implications, such as the problems with how Mars’s economy and government will run. Arguments for both staying on Earth and leaving it are strong, but the theories of colonizing Mars cannot be researched without the economic and political lenses.

Overpopulation and sustainability are growing concerns for the future of Earth. Time is running out on Earth as population continually increases. Such a large population will put a strain on Earth’s resources and environment. Fortunately, there are many ways in which people are working to lessen and slow these issues on Earth. Despite their efforts, it is still evident that a future on Earth will be a precarious one, so alternate options are being explored. Elon Musk, founder of Space X, has proposed a plan to colonize Earth’s neighboring planet, Mars. NASA, Mars One, and several other corporations have also expressed similar interest in colonizing this planet. Mars would not be a replacement for earth, but instead it would

Imagine leaving everything behind such as friends, family, money, and everything that exists on planet Earth, to travel over millions of miles to live on Mars. Traveling to Mars seems like a fictional thought that a seven year old may think of, but it is almost becoming a reality. A company entitled Mars One plans on sending humans to Mars by the year 2023. They want to establish another home for humans, and need citizens of Earth to do so. The main issue surround this is that the humans that travel to Mars will never come back. That being said, humans should not colonize Mars. Humans should not colonize Mar because they will face psychological and physical hardships, humans will not have any sort entertainment, and one cannot return to Earth

As the quotes from the text suggest, the cost of sending humans to Mars is exorbitant and requires international cooperation and

Over the past decade there has been more thought put into space exploration and on the list when deciding where to travel is Mars. Some people believe Mars has a huge pay off with a chance of finding life, valuable resources, and innovations in farming practices and equipment. Although Mars may appear to be a good investment when it comes to space exploration, it is not; travel to Mars involves many high costs, risks, and lack of public support making the mission nearly impossible to complete. To add onto the numerous other problems is the fact that there is no available technology at this time to conduct a manned mission to Mars.

Mars should be explored because humans have an obligation to explore, the ability for exploration to alter fundamental beliefs, the social impacts and the possible advancements in technology. Choosing to explore Mars has the potential to provide many benefits as well as cause unforeseen consequences, a simple cost benefit analysis. Through this paper these benefits and consequences will be fundamentally and thoroughly investigated. Past choices of similar caliber will be studied and their impacts on humanity related to the exploration of Mars. The idea of exploring Mars is no longer a question of “how?” but a question of “should we?”. It has been over “44 years since a US astronaut has visited another body in the solar system, namely the Moon” (Joseph F. Smith). Over the years a multiplicity of proposals have been made to NASA and the government to send humans to Mars. Two programs attempted to do this, Space Exploration Initiative of President George H. W. Bush, and the Constellation Program of President George W. Bush. Both were short-lived and underfunded. After many years and ventures there is starting to be a convergence in humanities’ ability to make Mars a reality for human exploration. However simply because Mars is within humanities metaphorical reach from a technical perspective, doesn 't unconditionally justify its exploration. There are several facets of the question to consider when making the decision of whether humans should go to Mars; Social responsibility,

As we begin to reap the environmental effects of our industrial habits, we are beginning to realize that in the distant future, the human species will depend upon the research and ingenuity of previous generations. What exactly does that entail? A large population of scientific minds and science fiction nerds believe that this entails a push towards inter-planetary colonization. This endeavor tends to generate a bit of heat from skeptics who criticize the pursuit of life among the cosmos while we have yet to conquer sustainable living on our own planet. This skepticism will be addressed later on in this paper. For now, let’s get down to

Humans have always been interested in the idea of exploring space. the scientists, astronauts and researchers have spent decades looking for life on other planets. Mars is the most favorable place in the solar system, other than Earth, for human habitation. It is also the closest planet to Earth. Even though some researchers claim that exploring Mars will help us to understand the Earth better, and a manned mission to Mars is better for humanity, opposing sending a manned mission to Mars for these reasons: because the cost of the exportation is not worth the risk involved. this exploration will have a negative effect on Americans. Mars exploration should be halted because of the cost to the economy, the risk to society and the lack

I firmly negate the resolution, Humans should colonize Mars. Learning and researching space is important, but we should do it through exploration not colonization. My three points are colonizing Mars would be expensive, wouldn’t be sustainable due to the health effects and we should save our planet before we colonize another. If we were to colonize Mars, we would treat it similar to the way we treat our planet currently, polluting its waterways and using up it’s limited natural resources.
