Should We Send People To Mars

Scientific Capability.” (Tennessean) People today are not as excited about going to other places in space. Human space travel has been stunted by recent political changes in America. With that, the people that actually want to go to other places in space mainly want to see humans go somewhere new. Some people want other things to go in place of humans. “Unlike robots, only people have the intelligence and expert knowledge needed to unravel these mysteries.” (Mindell) If humans don’t go to other places in the solar system, this takes away the experience and awe of knowing that people can go to amazing places like the moon and Mars. While I think robots and technology should be used in exploration of space. I think it’s important to keep the human element involved directly. So people can see that nothing is quite impossible.

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

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.

NASA has never made a trip to Mars, but I don’t think the benefits of going to Mars will outweigh the risks. One of the reasons I don’t think we should go to Mars is because it would take eight months to get there. Yeah, it would be cool to be the first person on Mars but you are taking a lot of risks. That is just one of my three reasons I don’t think the benefits outweigh the risks.

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

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

Colonizing Mars would be very beneficial in many ways but it would also be very dangerous for humans. Are humans willing to take initiative and take the risk of traveling to Mars? If they are not ready then will the Earth slowly become destroyed and humans will regret never taking the risk? Humans now have the technology, knowledge and opportunity to do something that’s new, exciting and possibly

In the article, “Could Humans Actually Live on Mars?”, by Laurie Vazquez, scientists and experts are finding new ways to transport humans from Earth to Mars. Up until this point, people have only sent robots to Mars. Since humans have never personally been there, this could be a great event in history. Although there are many concerns regarding health and cost, people should start traveling to Mars to see if it is a suitable living space for humans. If real people could live on Mars, that would give the whole world the chance to keep living even after the planet dies.

Richard, an author for the website GOVTEEN Global Community, wrote an article briefly explaining why we as a nation, should not go to Mars. Some of the key points of his argument against going to Mars stressed that the financial cost would be too high, it would require several new spacecraft and ground habitats, and several new technologies that currently do not exist. He also was concerned about the budget cuts that have already stripped the National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA) to a shell of what the space program used to be. He also stressed that we are still in an armed conflict that has put a strain on our nation, economically and emotionally.

we shouldn't because, space exploration may cause death. But aren't we always trying to prevent death. Astronauts will get bored. In fact, a number of scientists say that of all things boredom is one of the biggest threats to a manned mars mission. If we continue on with space travel, many more people may die. And their family might lose them. Which will make the economy

Should humans really risk leaving earth forever to colonize Mars? There are so many high death risks! Colonizing Mars could be dangerous and risky due to deadly dust storms, a sub zero average temperature, and radiation that could possibly kill you.

We know more about Mars than we do about our own ocean on Earth. In 2030 Space X wants to send a manned mission to Mars to try to eventually colonize Mars. However, getting to Mars is very difficult and poses many problems. Space X should not send people to Mars because of too many health dangers. Scientist should spend more time trying to find out more about our planet rather than Mars.

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

One reason is we could bring new problems back down to the U.S. In "Danger This Mission to Mars Could Bore you to Death" it reads "bored people are also prone to taking risks" This shows an astronaut can hurt himself or herself or even the team. In "A Trip to Mars Could Damage Astronaut's Brains" it reads that the astronaut could get memory and learning problems. This shows that if the astronaut had kids it might be passed on

“Why We shouldn’t Go To MARS” by Gregg Easterbrook gives reasons for why going to Mars is a waste. On the contrary, “Remarks at the Dedication of the Aerospace Medical Health Center by JFK” by President John F. Kennedy demonstrates how there are many benefits of going to Mars. However, the Political Cartoon represents the amount of money being misspent for a hopeless mission. Twenty people have died going to space. Space exploration has taken away more than enough lives. One more life is not worth it. The sadness and grief that is felt when a family member is lost in space, is much more valuable than going to Mars. If the journey to Mars is the cause of deaths and injuries, it should definitely be avoided. There should be no doubts about saving lives! Ultimately, the space program is a waste of money and effort, so going to Mars should be an avoidable
