Why We Should Send a Manned Mission to Mars

Nowaday the topic in discussion is if it is posible to live in Mars because scientists will demostrate that Mars has similar qualities to our planet, or it is possible to find a new kind of life that helps us to improve our technology. Also, differnt countries like U.S., China, Russia and European Union are interested in spends and takes risk to send a special mission to Mars in order to find evidence that proves their theories. Although some people think that that it is worth the expense and risk to make a manned flight to Mars, I believe that it is very expensive and difficult to do it.

First of all, many researchers say that Mars is a planet that brings us an important information. As they say,this information can help us to understand the origin of life and ways to improve the protection of our enviroment. However, they are only theories because at this moment they do not have any evidence that demostrates that they say is true. According to Dava Newman, a professor of aeronautics at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it is very risky and expensive to send a mission to Mars because it is difficult and not everybody has posibilities to do it. I agree with Dava Newman's opinion bacause what she says is true and they cannot send people to
Mars with any experience.

Secondly, The European Space Agency (ESA) has a performance plans that consists in use robots to explore the planets in order to discover habitation that has best technology and new kind of life. They will send a rover to Mars in 2018 and expect to send a manned mission to the moon. Also this plan, called Aurora will finish the exploration in
2030.However, they do not want to wait longer to get information about it because they prefer to obtains faster solutions to help our planet to reduce the problems and preserve the Earth.

Thirdly, the final argument by opponents is that Mars

    We can solve world issues like world hunger and overcrowding by growing crops and moving people out into our solar system. We can bring a whole new industry of trade. We can build infrastructure and technologies with these resources that are literally beyond imagination. Millions of job opportunities can be opened up, from a space janitor to a commander of a spacecraft. Anyone's dreams and aspirations can really come true. We can create a solid backup of the human race on a different planet. We have been coming up with plans to go to mars for 65 years. The plans are around. The research has been done. We can do it, we just need to go. We can send all the rovers and drones that we want to the red planet. But what a rover can do in its entire lifetime can be accomplished by a human in one single day. Rovers have only scratched the surface humans can explore so much more. To go to mars it takes all of us. Every race, religion, country, and creed. We unite to achieve anything we can unite together and reach mars. Going to the moon united us all and inspired a generation at a time of worry and anguish. Going to mars will do the same. Impossible is a word humans use far too often, Mars is certainly not…

    What led the Apollo program into full swing was the cold war. At the time, WW2 had ended and the United States and the Soviet Union were two competing major forces of power. They competed, politically, economically, militarily and finally technologically. When the Russians managed to put a satellite, “Sputnik” into space, the United States opened up Nasa and the space race had begun. Both nations raced to reach supremacy in space and the ultimate goal was to put a man on the moon.…

    Alexander Fisher and Juniper Springs had opposing views on whether it was time to go to mars or not with their articles, The Case for Mars and Mars- A Waste of Time and Money. Both articles discussed the same topics and supported them in the same way, but with opposing opinions on the topic. The authors both included points about new technology and how it would affect the economy, whether robots can take a human’s place on Mars, and how the radiation levels could affect a human body. For example, in article one, The Case for Mars, states that technology developed during the quest could benefit humans. Fisher also argues that robots take much longer to do the same amount of work compared to humans. He also admits that the radiation is dangerous,…

    In making the case for sending humans to explore Mars in the near future. President Bush has proposed a grand multi-billion dollar long-term project. A project, to this author, is well worth the money. To start off, I will list off a few of my reasons that I will describe more specifically later in this article. First of all, the price tag of 170 billion dollars could easily be reduced by extensive research of more energy and cost efficient technology in the 26 years to come before we actually launch. Second, the possible benefit of spin-off (The transfer of new NASA technology to U.S. consumers) is too great to ignore. The new technology that will be developed from the research for the Mars trip and the new technology that could develop from researching the physics of Mars or finding new resources on Mars will eventually be passed on to the average citizen. My final reason is that exploring new territories is human nature. Since the dawn of time, Man has discovered and conquered strange new frontiers and took full advantage of the new area. By researching on Mars and in Mars physics, we could set the rudimentary foundation of possibly in the distant future terraforming Mars for human inhabitance. For all of these reasons I urge you to support Bush's plan for Mars exploration.…

    "In 1989, NASA's Space Exploration Initiative Mars plan was expected to cost about $400 billion. According to Zubrin's 1990 estimate" (Mars Direct), today the projected cost is around US$ 10-22 billion. The race to Mars has begun, with this race extending father than government agencies like NASA. The Mars race has even become privatized, with companies like Mars One and Space X designing ways to hopefully reach Mars first. The mission to Mars and the first stages to colonize Mars will be very costly, keeping that in mind what are the economic factors of going to Mars?…

    What does a planet need to have in order to support life? Earth is unique in our solar system because it is the only planet that is supporting life. Some scientists go so far as to say that the Earth is a “perfect planet” because it has features that are the perfect environment for living organisms; these features include our atmosphere, water, and a single moon. Earth is also in a place in our solar system where the Sun gives off the right amount of energy to drive the life. The distance from the Earth to the Sun determines how much of that heat we receive. If it weren’t for our ozone layer and Earth’s magnetic field, harmful rays would penetrate our surface and life would be exterminated. Everything the Earth has to offer us is balanced perfectly to keep life continuous.…
