Argumentative Essay On Mars

Who knows what kind of opportunities can come from Mars? We can use the many resources that have already been found on this planet, it could help us in many ways beyond space exploration, and it could even be a new place for us to live. That’s why I believe that the government should fund space exploration to Mars.

There are resources on Mars that could be useful to humans. Magma under the surface of the planet has produced ores of iron, nickel, copper, and chromium. The soil could be used industrially and in construction for things on the planet. Solar and wind power are very practical forms of energy that could be used on the planet. It is also believed that there is gold on the planet; this could help pay for the money put into exploring

it. If we put humans on the planet we could harvest, and use these resources to build colonize on the planet.
“Only by pushing mankind to its limits, to the bottom of the ocean or into space, will we make discoveries in science and technology that can be adapted to improve life on Earth” -Alexander Kumar
Going to Mars can help us in many other ways.

A new algorithm was made after there was trouble with the Hubble Telescope being blurry. This algorithm was introduced to a doctor who applied it to X-ray images to detect breast cancer. We cannot yet predict what kind of technologies will be made to have a manned mission to Mars, or how it will affect the agricultural and medical fields. However, we will not find out if we do not push humankind to the limits. Being the first country get to Mars could give us political and economical benefits over other countries.

What happens when we can no longer live on Earth? Maybe moving to Mars is the answer. Studies have shown that there are many deposits of ice under the surface of Mars. If the ice is melted the water could be used to help grow plants. The plants could be used to supply oxygen to the things that need it, and it could be a food source for humans or livestock. Also the water combined with the large amounts of carbon dioxide can be used to make fuels, oxidizers, and plastic for equipment. Things will have to be built underground to protect from the

sun.
Although we are many years from having the technology to travel to Mars. There are many reasons why our government should start funding the journey. There are many resources that can be used that already found on the planet. The exploration can help us grow many ways beyond just space exploration. The planet could also be the salvation of mankind. Although the cost is high I believe the government should fund a trip to Mars.
