Would you move to mars? In the Scope magazine, by Scholastic explains how NASA, the National Aeronautics and space Administration has been working towards a goal of sending humans to Mars for more than 50 years. No, I would never want to move to Mars. There are many reasons why I do not want to move to Mars because air is not breathable, have to spend all your time in a space suit, and doesn’t have enough oxygen. As the article said, “Mars is a dangerous place. The air is not breathable-it doesn’t have enough oxygen. There’s not a drop of water. Giant dust storms fill the air with choking dirt. It can get as warm as 86 degrees F on Mars. But it’s usually only about 81 degrees F below zero.” (Pg.6) Therefore, if you can’t breathe, how will
Within the story “Follow the Water” by Jennifer L. Holm, you can find multiple scientific facts, and some facts are included in “What Would It Take To Live There”. For example on the bottom of the first page you will see a line about the radiation. “The cabin is made up of thick black plastic, sturdy enough to protect us from the solar radiation, which can kill you give you terrible skin cancer.” Since Mars doesn’t have a magnetic field, you can be exposed to this deadly radiation. “Some of them had to have their noses removed.” Which is one of the events that could happen when your body is exposed. Another subject she talks about is how to temperature is -81 degrees on mars, and that is a true statement. “It’s could on Mar’s colder then you
The people that go to mars are risking their lives they can die of many things, including lack of oxygen and sickness. There is no atmosphere on Mars so therefore there is no oxygen which all humans need. The people will try to make an atmosphere by planting plants which let off oxygen, which could easily fail. Some
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.
In the text " Nannies, Maids, and Sex Workers in the New Economy," Barbara Ehrenreich and Arlie Russell Hochschild argue that women from third world countries have to leave their homes and go to developed countries in order to provide for their families. When these women move so far away their family bond is affected and their children miss out on the love and affection they need. These women also run the risk of getting paid little for their work, being manipulated by their bosses, and also having to become sex workers for them so they don't run the risk of losing their jobs.
Images of a blue lake have been found on the surface of Mars. NASA experts are confused, but what seem to be even stranger is the apparent sighting of a humanoid alien walking along the red planet. Is this just a hoax or does the space agency have some explaining to do?
The quote above gives a quick biography on Mars. Mars is a dry, desert like planet that is between Earth and the Asteroid belt and Jupiter. It is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second closest to Earth (first being Venus). Mars is just over one half the size of Earth and has just over one third of Earth 's gravity, and the surface area on Mars is nearly the same as land area on Earth. It has a very weak magnetic field, so a lot of the Suns radiation gets to the surface. Its atmosphere is less than 1% as dense as Earth’s and 95% of it is carbon dioxide. 1 year on Mars is 687 days and has an average surface temperature of -62 degrees Celsius. But Mars does have its similarities, It travels only 4 miles per second slower around the sun, its tilt is 25 degrees, compared to Earth 's 23.5. 1 day on Mars is just 41 minutes longer than Earths, and Mars’ surface temperature range is the closest in the Solar System to Earth’s. http://www.universetoday.com/22603/mars-compared-to-earth/. But
The “cave” in Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” is a metaphor for human’s mind, in this document he basically said that human need guidance that help them to get out of that “cave” and the cave that we are in right now is our mindset and our perception. Get out of our cave meaning create for us a new perception, give us a chance to gain back our free will and more than that it help us take back our freedom to think, question, analyze about this world. When you living your old thought and perception, at first you will feel terrifying, scare and depress because you don’t know what to do or what to think , you will question everything you do, see, touch or heard. However, it’s worth it because when you gave up your old knowledge that enlightened
Mars is a planet that we are still learning and discovering new things about. They have landed rovers on the planet and has discovered water under the surface of the planet. If they were to send humans to mars it would help discover more things that a robot couldn't do that a person can. With a person's view it would be better because the person would be able to describe it and show proof.
One has to spend his days working to make Mars a suitable place to live, but there is no guarantees that it is. On Mars, one does not have his family, toys, internet, or any object that entertained him/her on Earth. The humans will have to learn to survive without any of their necessities that they had on Earth. In the video “Want to Colonize Mars?”, it says, “Mars is cold, it’s dry, it’s rocky, it’s inhospitable. There’s no Starbucks. No Internet. You pretty much spend your days working for the betterment of mankind…” This quote is elaborating on the fact that on Mars, there is simply nothing to do besides work. It is not the type of work that provides money for oneself and his/her family, but work that has no definite outcome. Not to mention, one will be living on Earth without his/her family. To conclude, another reason why traveling Mars is doltish is because there is no source of entertainment on
Global warming and pollution are two major reasons why colonizing Mars is a bad idea. Many scientists are working on ideas to fix the atmosphere on Mars, finding liquid
One of the problems that they might be trying to run from is pollution. We are polluting the Earth and there are people that are trying to fix it, but some people might have just given up and decided to go to Mars instead. Although Mars hasn’t been polluted won’t we eventually pollute Mars just like we did on Earth. Just because people go to a different planet doesn’t mean that everybody will change the way they were on Earth.
If I were asked whether or not I wanted to be an early colonist on Mars, I would accept. Not because the thought of living on a newly inhabitable planet is cool, but because of the creatures that may already claim Mars as their own. Mars would be an interesting place to live, its dirt red and sky pink.
The last reason why you shouldn’t go on this trip to Mars is because finding ways to live there would be difficult. First of all, work will have to be done in order to find water. When water is needed, you would have to break up the soil. Being able to expand will also be limited due to the amount of water and oxygen that is on Mars. Lastly, the environment is very unforgiving. If a small mistake is made in the atmosphere, you could easily become injured or possibly die. The Mars One website says, “Mars is an unforgiving environment where a small mistake or accident can result in large failure, injury, and
However, being there will be much worse. Scientists say that they can make water and electricity on mars with fuel cells. In spite of this, according to Regis from the New York Times, negative 81 degrees fahrenheit is the average temperature and there is no oxygen or food sources there. We would need to bring food sources with us and then we have the problem of not even breathing! Imagine the cost of that.
on earth, so we would need to have a way to hold us down so that we could walk normally. The years on Mars, also called "Martian Years" are two times longer than a regular 360 day, year on Earth. The temperatures on Mars will make it very difficult to live there. The lowest temperature that it can get there is –195 degrees Fahrenheit. The highest temperature that it can get there is 70 degrees Fahrenheit. By living on Mars you have a 3% chance of getting cancer from the UV and radiation rays. Although the soil on Mars can protect living organisms a small amount of the time from the UV and radiation
