Is Mars Colonization a Good Idea? Among celestial bodies in our solar system, Mars is remarkable in that it possesses all the raw resources required to sustain not only life, but a new branch of individual evolution. The time to colonize Mars would certainly be required when the Earth becomes uninhabitable as the global warming rises up. When that happens, Mars has the potential to become the most habitable planet in our solar system. Nevertheless, even with positive extrapolation of robotic manufacturing
Colonize Mars? For many years people have wondered what could happen if humans lived on another planet. In recent years the technology to achieve this has been getting closer and closer. It has been predicted that humans could be on Mars by the year 2030 (Knapton NP). But should people even bother attempting to go to another planet? What would be gained by this? Is there a good reason to go? Although some may question the justification of going to Mars, humans should colonize Mars for the
civilization. The current sustainability projects humans possess are neither long term nor effective. As resources decrease and greenhouse gases increase, many scientists are looking for alternative places in our solar system for colonization, and Mars is the most capable of supporting this human settlement. The environment of both planets play a critical role in both the sustainability of Earth and the possible colonization of Mars. The Earth is
As the human race gazes upon the stars, it finds that its natural instincts to explore, possess, and mold become illuminated. The real question for the human race is not whether to explore but what to possess in the Solar System first? Whether man should first colonize Mars, Venus, or Earth’s Moon is the real question for the human race because a successful first attempt would directly influence life on Earth economically and politically for generations. If a successful colonization mission can be
“If the human race is to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before,” said Stephen Hawking in 2008. The interplanetary migration of our species has been a stimulating prospect for ages, and, as technology is advancing by the minute, we are only getting closer to its realization. For this prospect, Mars is the sole candidate. There are many reasons why this is so, and there are many reasons as to why we should undergo the colonization of Mars now. But
investing in my solution of colonizing other planets which will help decrease overpopulation. III. Credibility statement: Researching solutions for overpopulation over the past month has extended my knowledge on the topic and proven to me that planet colonization is the best solution out there. IV. Thesis Statement: The United Nations could save humankind as we know it by understanding, finding a solution, and knowing who else has worked on the solution to decrease overpopulation.

Comparing and Contrasting Martian Colonies with the Mars Colony in Schiaparelli Crater Forming a society on an inhospitable, deserted, and entirely hostile planet was far from being an easy goal. Everyone presented their plan to colonize Mars, but no one had a perfect plan. There was always a spot where a difference was notable, such as the decision of bringing frozen human embryos. The Martian, a movie that was about surviving the Red Planet, also showed notable unique features in the habitat.
years of oppression, their society was left in shambles and much of their culture was destroyed. Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles explores this theme of imperial expansion as applied to the hypothetical situation of humans colonizing the planet Mars. In the novel, the humans who flock to the planet are portrayed as reckless beings with no care for their new home. They destroy ruins, clear the
make the journey to Mars as safe as possible, NASA started the Human Research Project which focuses on finding the safest methods for space travel. The Human Research Project has found ways to mitigate in-flight radiation and currently researching other health problems that could arise on an interplanetary journey such as nutrition, lack of gravity, and expiration of necessary medications. Even with the risks, NASA Human Exploration Strategic Analysis Lead Pat Troutman says Mars is humanity’s best
Modern humans have been on Earth for more than 200,000 years. Although many people feel that 200,000 years is a fairly long time for us to have existed as a species, it is quite the opposite. The earth is estimated to have been made 4.54 billion years ago. Life as we know it is estimated to have begun 4 billion years ago. When comparing the existence of the human race to the existence of the planet we live on or the existence of all forms of life, it becomes very apparent that the humans species
