Mars Colonization
“If humanity is to continue for another million years, our future lies in boldly going where no one else has gone before”. These are the words of Stephen Hawking who is a very well-known British physicist who made significant contributions in the field of cosmology, quantum gravity and many more. We have been hearing people talking about colonizing Mars for a pretty long time now. The concept of saying good-bye to Earth is very real and it is important for us to know more about their plans and ways how these companies are planning to do it. From fiction to real life, the colonization of Mars would be one of the greatest milestone mankind would ever achieve. I’ve spend a good amount of time trying to understand more about this concept and how scientists are trying to achieve it with the help of internet and many other sources. Therefore, I’d like to give you few facts on

The first and foremost challenge is the price to get to Mars which is almost $200,000. We have to do be have to be super rich to buy a ticket.
Another major reason is the rate of failure is very high. Therefore, you always have to keep in mind that we are buying a one way ticket to Mars and if we don’t make it then then we are wasting both the money and time. And even if you make it to Mars, according to…… says that, “The dose [an] astronaut would receive on a Mars mission is large enough to be beyond what they’ve experienced in Earth Orbit.” Hence, the chances of us surviving Mars is very narrow due to over exposure of radiation.
Another downside is the budget, Space X and NASA according to…. Spends at least $ on making this work by making 100% reusable rocket ships and it is quite impossible because the current technology is not advanced enough. And even if everything worked out perfectly, the ship only travels twice a year to its destination because of the interplanetary difference in rotation and
