Should There Be Allowed To Colonize Mars?
The Planet of Mars isbeing 142 million miles away from the sun and only forty-nine million miles away from earth. The average temperature for Earth is fifty-seven degrees fahrenheit. The average temperature for Mars is negative eighty-one degrees fahrenheit. You would think there would be no way of having life on Mars (University Today). The cool thing is scientists think Mars would be the first planet to colonize and be able to live on. Almost everyone thinks that earth has full twenty-four hour days. Truth be told that Earth only has twenty-three hours and fifty-six minutes days. Mars actually has longer days lasting as long as twenty-four hours and thirty-six minutes. There are a lot of planets that have more than one moon and Mars can be included in this because it has two moons. The name of both of these moons is Phobos and Deimos and were found in 1877. Both of these moons are named after the sons of Ares which is the Greek God of war (University Today).
Mars got it’s name from the Romans which stands for God of War. Mars is also known as the “Red Giant,” because of the way it looks. You may wonder how Mars got its nickname “Red Giant.” This has to do

This sounds like it could be true because there isn’t much of a difference between Mars and Earth. The big problems with colonizing Mars is oxygen and liquid water. Having liquid water on Mars is possible though because features on the surface suggest that water once flowed. Even though there is no sign of liquid water on Mars astronomers have found water is frozen in the soil, and in sheets of ice in the polar ice caps (Sharp). A way to get oxygen on Mars would be to grow plants. Mars is ninety-five percent carbon dioxide (Sharp) which plants need to survive and grow. In return, plants would give off oxygen for us to breath. Even if we did this the gravity on Mars would not be able to keep oxygen in its

    Some scientists believe there was life on Mars due to a number of factors. For one we know there was at one point a substantial amount of liquid water when the planet was much younger. We also know Mars’s electromagnetic field has dampened, making it more susceptible to interstellar heat and radiation, thus eliminating the life that could have existed. There are also other several factors including volcanic activity and evidence of salt oceans.…

    But how could we possibly reach them, modern day space travel doesn’t even reach the moon, and we still don’t know how long humans can live in zero-gravity without permanent, adverse effects. And how might humans survive under a different sun with lashes of uncontained radiation that are common on Mars. This research will analyze the reasoning and possibilities of humanity colonizing Mars as well as the changes society might undergo having a foothold in two different planets in order to answer the questions, why do humans feel the need to colonize Mars? And how might its colonization affect our…

    The idea of space colonization has fascinated the minds of generations of people on this planet and it is slowly becoming a reality. The advancements in space Technology in the past 10 years have surpassed what some thought would stay fiction. Some say we should colonize the moon, some mars and even others say planets outside of our solar system. These people bring excellent reasons for why they say what they say but currently and realistically the best option is Mars. While the atmosphere of mars is quite different than earths, having roughly only 1% of earth’s atmospheric pressure at sea level, Mars has a much thinner atmosphere which is also 96% carbon dioxide. The average temperature on earth is 14 degrees Celsius (57 degrees Fahrenheit),…

    The article The Martian Chroniclers a new era of planetary exploration by Burkhard Bilger discusses Earth and Mars known as the “Goldilocks Planets,” this is because Earth and Mars both have the perfect environment for life to be sustained. I was first observed that Mars had evidence that it could sustain life in 1877, by the astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli. Schiaparelli drew a map of mars as an “earthly paradise.” This was because he observed that the planet had what appeared to be continents and water channels on the surface. Although, it was discovered that Mars has less water contents then earth’s driest desert. Nevertheless, because of Mar’s atmosphere and geological environment Mars has the possibly that it can sustain life. NASA has sent many space crafts to explore what is on Mars the first was the Mariner 9 then, Viking 1 and Viking 2, the…

    Dr. Stephen Petranek said, ”Some of the greatest advantages in civilization and technology, came because we explored.” Humans should not colonize Mars. If humans colonized Mars, humans would barely be able to survive. Mars lacks two very crucial products to survive, food and oxygen. Humans of the future would not benefit with colonizing Mars because humans who go to Mars, will have a risky voyage, there is not oxygen, and it will cost a lot of money to arrive on Mars.…

    Humans would not be able survive on planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune because those planets are Gas Giants. There is no surface, the planet is made up entirely of gas and atmosphere and the cores would thus most likely be liquid. Mercury, the innermost planet in our solar system, is a terrestrial planet which means it has a hard rocky surface. And although that is true*, humans still would not be able to live on Mercury. There is no atmosphere and because Mercury’s distance is substantially closer to the Sun, temperatures are exceedingly high. Venus is the second planet from Sun and is also a terrestrial planet. The size and mass of Venus is relative to Earth in that they are similar under those characteristics. But due to Venus’ dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, living on its surface would be quite impossible. Venus also has dense sulfur dioxide clouds which makes this planet have the strongest greenhouse effect. And because of this Venus is actually hotter in temperature than Mercury. But what about Mars? Are we able to colonize and inhabit the planet Mars?…
