Seven Courageous People Setting Mars' Principles
People around the world were celebrating for the coming of 2013. In the USA, Clement, Fred and Walter attended the party held annually in the Times Square in New York. They drank alcoholic beverages and chatted amid millions of people feverishly to welcome the New Year. "Do you two think that human beings can go there?" asked Fred, with his finger pointing towards a tiny little star. "Why not? Nothing is impossible!" answered Walter confidently. All of them enjoyed the party and they almost forgot that they were actually soldiers serving in the air force for the USA. Meanwhile, two test pilots, Xiao Yang and Liu Hao, were testing the new type of fighter aircraft in China conscientiously. Xiao was the only woman among the teams of test pilots, however, she was smart and was willing to take up additional responsibility. Therefore, she was usually praised by Liu and other members. "There are always discontents among people over the world. They are fighting for resources, food, energy all the time. However, people in some developing countries are cheerful because they live a simpler life and thus have less stress compare with those who live in developed countries, " said Sergey, a scientist who was working in Russian Federal Space Agency. He, together with his colleague, Yuri, were delivering a speech in the headquarter of the Space Agency. "At the same time, the world is becoming more and more crowded, with a rapid growth of population. What can we do to deal with these problems? In the long run, some of us should migrate and settle down in Mars, our neighboring planet," said Yuri passionately. The audience was shocked by the speech. "How can we migrate to Mars in a short time? " "How much we need to launch spacecrafts?" The audience started a zealous discussion on Yuri's speech. In January 2020, the USA, together with China and Russia, announced a space project based on the data collected from the "Curiosity" rover in Mars in 2015. The ultimate aim of the

    Humans have dreamed of leaving the earth and traveling space for many years, and up to this day they have taken many steps in the right direction. Yet, with every new frontier they approach, new problems loom over the horizon. Some of these problems arise right here on Earth. Some of the issues have been resolved, such as escaping the forces of gravity to reach outer space. Most of the problems are far more arduous and the solutions need more time to be worked out properly. In “The Coming Schism” by James E. and Alcestis R. Oberg, they posit that humans can colonize space. Humans need to buckle up and build the technology which will help to solve problems that would arise to settle outside earth. The Obergs use comparative strategy that is to use the yardstick of the past to measure future to convince the reader that the colonization of space is possible, if problems such as, communication, cultural conflict and the rejection to space exploration is solved. The solutions to the problem are important for the journey to space, because they all have the potential to disrupt progress.…

    In NASA, the Mars science lab rover is acknowledged, over a budget at 2.5 billion dollars. Although Obama’s Fiscal plan for 2013 would incise NASA’s funds from 587 million dollars to 360 million dollars, no quantity of money is worth Mars exploration. Mars is still merely a rocky surface in the midst of no indication of water or active geology. Space exploration is exceptionally expensive to the citizens of the United States; the government could unquestionably use this money to better the country where the people live. Exploration costs millions of dollars which is completely unnecessary to provide the NASA space program.…

    Is the space race really worth it? In a world embroiled in endless problems, starting from rising food and oil prices, poverty, hunger, illiteracy, high infant mortality rate, terrorism to the threat of global warming and climate change, one may question the significance of the world beyond ours. In a state of global political and social instability, is the space race really worth it? Taking into account the 8 millennium development goals, projected to be achieved by 2030 instead of 2015, and the prosperity the achievement of these goals will bring about, the space race does not seem superficial to it. The importance of human lives is irreplaceable. Thus, striving to locate extra terrestrial life forms is not worth the effort; especially when every 3.6…

    In 1961, the world was changed forever, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin entered the spacecraft Vostok 1 and traveled into space. Following him in the same year, was the American astronaut Alan Shepard in Freedom 7. Then in 1969 the crew of the Apollo 11 mission landed on the Moon. This space race in the 1960s helped to light the fire of man’s interest in outer space and has lead mankind to wonder if we could live away from the comfort and safety of planet Earth. Many scientist and explorers have wondered if it would be possible to colonize the Moon or Mars for the purpose of research, resources, and hopefully a secondary home for the human race. However, many people have also doubted the idea of leaving the safety of planet Earth to explore other options of habitable places. Many argue that space exploration is dangerous and some critics argue that it is using too much money that could…

    “Kids, back in my days, we didn’t have those fancy teleportation devices; getting to places was a transportation problem. I remember very well those times. Cars now had a modern system of using infrared radiation as energy fuel, therefore many began to buy automobiles since the pollution problem was disappearing. Still, the traffic jams were constant and a solution was being researched. This way, public transportation became the axis of travel of the modern man. Nevertheless, as living and health conditions improved, there were still too many humans in the planet that needed to get from one place to another. We never believed at those times that change was very close.…
