A colony on Mars is something dreamed about by many, and criticized by many more. There is a major possibility that a colony on another planet is the future of humanity. The issue in today’s world is that there are several issues with setting up a colony that seems to prove it as an impossibility for it to occur in the near future. There are simply too many technical problems with the plan for the colony that needs to be addressed and solved before the colony becomes a reality. To begin, one of the paramount problems is cost. It would cost billions of dollars to simply get to Mars to set up the base camp location.[1] This does not even include the trip to send the first manned crew to the location, which in itself would cost over a billion dollars. The total plan for the first year of a colony on Mars is estimated at around $6 million which only includes setting up the first set of humans sent. Any follow up trips to send more humans to populate the colony will cost upwards of $1.5 billion dollars per year. [1]The costs of simply getting to the planet are astronomical and are going to leave a sizeable dent in the countries national treasury. While SpaceX CEO Elon Musk claims that the cost per ticket to get on a spaceship to less than $2 hundred thousand would make it substantially cheaper, there is no way that the costs can be that low in this point in time. His plan involves using a reusable spaceship, and cheaper propellants, which are both not options that have been

According to our textbook, the term civil defense is “an effort to protect the citizens of the United States from a military attack” (Oliver, Marion, & Hill, 2015. P.3). During the WWI, there was fear and concern about the safety of the American people, but they don’t fear of the aerial bombardment like the European suffered. However, there is a need for protection from future attacks, so “on Aug 1916 the federal government established the Council of National Defense. The council was a presidential advisory board appointed by the president and its responsibilities included ‘coordinating resources and industries for national defense’ and ‘stimulating civilian morale’” (Oliver, Marion, & Hill, 2015.
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
Death is the sixth highest fear in the US. The idea of death is very prominent in our society, as around 6,775 people die a day, in the US alone. Serial killers are the monsters of the real world and should be feared the most. Villains in comic books or movies are fake, and can only bring us entertainment or the sense of being afraid. Serial killers bring true fear into people’s lives. The Zodiac uses this knowledge of fear and implements it into his own style of killing mass amounts of people, and not be caught. The Zodiac Killer’s intelligence is used to get away from the police, with killing many people of all statuses, age, and gender, by using ciphers and encrypted messages slowly giving the police hints. These hints are used so that
I would not support NASA’s manned mission to mars because of the financial constrains attached with it. Data from several readings suggest that the total cost of the mission is going to be approximately $80 to $100 billion which is definitely a huge amount. A workshop group of more than 60 individuals representing more than 30 government, industry, academic and other organizations has found that a NASA-led manned mission is not feasible with current budget in hand. NASA already spends around $4 billion a year on exploration programs; most of that is devoted to developing the Orion spacecraft and a new rocket that would one day carry astronauts to Mars or other deep-space destinations. This amount of money could be used for present issues like poverty, unemployment that are cause of serious concern for a large group of
Immigration originates way back in the nineteenth century when people started coming from western and northern Europe to the Americas. Immigrants were trying to get to America where they could be free and not have a King or a Queen ruling over them. This was before coming over to America was illegal for people in other countries unless he/she had a work permit to work in the United States or were brought over the the Americas legally. In 1808 the Foreign Slave Trade became illegal so the migrants became illegal aliens according to the Historical Timeline of legal and illegal immigrants in the United States by ProCon.org. The other country should pay to bring the
Now we are a step closer to making it our second planet that humans have lived on. But there is a problem! We as in humans have spent billions upon billions of dollars on the trips to the moon and sending a drone to Mars, Pluto, etc... But why are we trying to find a way to get to another planet and not trying to save this one. Lets fast forward a couple thousand years right! We have made our way to Mars and concurred it. What are we going to do to our sweet mother earth. Are we going to leave it destroyed or will we still care. The only thing that is going to happen if we come to Mars is the same thing that happens on Earth. We are going to destroy Mars as well. We are going to live there and then destroy it in a mater of millions of years. Why do we have to move to another planet when we can just stay and fix
As I expected, Hillary did a better job than Donald during the presidential debate. She has plans for the U.S. that will definitely make our country a better place, unlike Donald’s. Many people seem to hate Hillary, but between the two candidates, Hillary is the better choice. A strategy I think Donald should use in order to take the lead is, to be honest, and admit to his mistakes. By doing so, many people will start to like him better and they might support him.
One large project that is being pursued is colonizing mars with a human population. This will mold the future and newer generations. It can make us question the future and what lies ahead. It has been said that it will take no more than 50 years to fulfill the colonization of mars.
Humans Should Not Colonize Mars In a situation where humans colonize Mars, if a tragedy happens, the citizens on Mars are doomed. Colonizing Mars is not beneficial to Earth. The mission would cost billions of dollars to accomplish.
In today society the number of unlawful immigrates is at an all-time high. In the United States approximate 2 million illegal immigrates to enter or try to enter the courtiers, and that number has arisen in the last decade (Lee, 2015). There are about 41 million immigrants living in the United States. There are about 8 million illegal unauthorized immigrates living in the United States (Lee, 2015). The problem is that why some immigrate comes looking for work, so they can support their family back home, many have come to the United States in order to flee from the violence and the corruption. That is going on in Mexico, Central American, and oversea and that is the problem. Each 2 years Senator and President all try to figure out how to deal
When scientists colonize mars it will give people the opportunity to find ice underground, it well inspire so many people, and it will allow mankind another place to live. People are ready to go to mars for things the Earth needs. It will be a expensive trip but scientists can do
That is a question many people ask and have been asking for quite a long time. Is the answer just because the process is taking a long time or is the reason bigger then that? According to news.nationalgeographic.com “humans put all of their ideas and efforts into working on the mission but they've never left the drawing board.” NASA’s preparation for the trip to Mars has taken at least 70 years (Heres Why, 2017). Many people are still scared about new missions because they're reminded of the Apollo 1 tragedy in 1967. There are many problems that humans could face if they went to Mars such as, they will need enough water, food, oxygen, etc. There is also the risk of being exposed to radiations from spending years in space (Choi, 2017). “It’s a choice, not an imperative” says John Logsdon a professor at the George Washington University’s space policy institute, many may have the same beliefs as him, but one day traveling to Mars could become an imperative and humans need to be ready and prepared for that day (Heres Why, 2017).
Added to the economic costs to America, a venture to Mars causes substantial risk to the society. The environment and society are very important to human survival on Earth. Even though some people feel that exploring Mars may help understand the Earth better, and going to Mars will be a great scientific milestone, in my opinion exploring Mars is a bad idea. The atmosphere on Mars is about 100 times thinner than earth and it is not suitable for us to breath. It contains about 95% of carbon dioxide and little or no oxygen. This will make it very difficult for humans to survive there. Unlike Mars, which is not protected and is exposed to everything, the Earth is protected by the ozone layer. Exploring Mars will be dangerous to humans and very expensive to taxpayers. This will take years of planning and the mission will take years instead of days. The astronauts who go there may run out of oxygen and even fall sick. They will be unable to just return at any time. They have to wait until the earth aligns with Mars before they can return. All this could take months or even
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.
