Argument Essay: Should People Move To Mars?

440 Words2 Pages

Many scientist are now saying that people could possibly live on Mars, but of course there are always 2 sides to a story. My personal opinion on the topic is that we don 't need to move to Mars because life on Earth is just fine right now. I also believe it would not be a good idea because it would be too expensive, there are many health hazards, and we don 't have good enough technology yet. Firstly, I think that we should stay on Earth because it would be too expensive. According to source 6, this is a huge problem because it is not fair to the people who are still on Earth.First off if it was funded by the U.S. this would hurt our debt problem. Next, people 's taxes would be higher in order for us to fund the project, which is really not …show more content…

Secondly, humans were made to live on earth and nowhere else. According to source 4, it says that there is a great deal of health hazards. For example the sample stats that "bones and muscles get weaker", which means that by the time we get to Mars, it would be harder to survive because we would be too weak to work. It also says in source 5 that "this magnetic field helps protect life on Earth from deadly forms of space radiation". This means that it 's not a good idea to leave Earths atmosphere because your could get exposed to deadly radiation. It also states in source 4 that your optic nerve can swell from 0 gravity. Finally, we don 't have good enough technology yet. this is scary because if you get stuck in space with a defective spaceship your in trouble. Source 2 says this will require "improvement in spacecraft and other technology". It also says that it will require 44 metric tons of weight to land on Mars and N.A.S.A. has only been able to land 1 metric ton at a time. I personally think it 's not a good idea to go to space in a spaceship that you cannot trust. In conclusion I would not want to risk the chance of living on Mars. Right now I am perfectly happy with life on Earth and see no reason in fixing something that is not broken. Due to the fact of it being to expensive, there are many health hazards, premature technology, there is just no need to go to Mars

Nasa is looking into different ways to send people to other planets and a safer or more efficient ways to get there. To help meet their goal of sending people to mars, nasa is creating the Asteroid Redirect Mission, it is the first-ever mission to analyze, seize, and alter a near-Earth asteroid to a balanced orbit around the moon. Once there, astronauts will be able to explore it and collect data from it. Nasa is guessing that in 2020s all of this will take place.

If I asked you “What does NASA stand for?” you would probably say either “Need another seven astronauts” or “Need another shuttle also”. Today those jokes can’t be funny because NASA’s funding has been cut by congress, so they could probably use more astronauts and another space shuttle, but they don 't have the funding to hire more people and or keep up with today 's progress. NASA’s funding shouldn’t be cut by the government because NASA doesn’t have much money to support its educational programs, NASA also doesn’t have the funding to keep up with technology, so NASA can’t send anyone into space until 2021, and they won’t have the ability to keep up with the progress which will set them back generations. NASA has recently halted some of their educational programs due to budget cuts and American citizens are not happy.

The author that wrote the argumentative text, Leaving Main Street, stated that, “The cost of exploration is vastly outweighed by the idea of extending humankind’s sphere of influence to outer space.” (120) The author is saying that the expense is well worth it, so that we can expand our knowledge about space. The author Mary Roach, stated in her argumentative text Packing for Mars, “It might not be that hard to raise the funds. If the nations involved were to approach their respective entertainment conglomerates, an impressive hunk of funding could be raised.”

Technology was still developing in the 60s, so theorists believe it would be impossible for this mission. These theorists also point out that Earth’s radiation field would have killed the astronauts. “These are regions surrounding the Earth in our magnetic field where high energy trapped particles from the Sun tend to get confined," a professor from the National Space Centre states. With the high radiation, there is no way the mission could have been successful. Another notable allegation the theorists have pointed out is that there are no stars in the photographic evidence.

If earth suddenly becomes uninhabitable, and Let Robots Take to the Stars mentions itself in paragraph 4, that Earth is “plagued by pollution”. Mars is the easiest planet to access and live on. Overall, eventually our earth is going to be destroyed because of us putting out greenhouse gasses into our atmosphere. By studying Mars for the next five to ten years we can learn about the effects of our future. Mars’ atmosphere is 95.32% carbon dioxide, this is what our atmosphere will eventually end up like.

Colonizing Mars Mars is often voted by people as being the most likely place for humans to colonize after we are done with Earth. This is often said because of Mars’s similar size to Earth and similar climate. However, Mars might not be the best place to go when we decide to make our first extra-terrestrial home. Whether you believe we should colonize another planet or not, evidence proves that moving to Venus is both logical and cost effective. There is much more promise in visiting Venus and much more we can learn.

They also believe that they will find new resources to genetically modify our society. And they just might get their wishes if people start funding for space travel. Finding cures, new resources, and studying space are only a few reasons why space travel is necessary and why people should do more to fund the cause. Cancer and Mono still haven’t found a cure but, with the help of space travel, people can explore space and find other materials to find a cure for diseases. “Medicine has been revolutionized by the space program.

Space exploration has long been a debated topic. From the days where there was controversy between whether the universe revolved around the Earth, because god made humans special, to whether Copernicus’s idea that the Earth and the other planets of the solar system revolve around the sun was true. Then there was the space race where there was a dilemma based on what was ethical to be produced and sent to space (such as weaponry during the cold war). The more contemporary problem involves the exploration of space and the danger that space debris poses. We must accept however that space is our back-up plan if we were to exploit the Earth to such an extent that we could no longer survive here.
