Have you ever wondered how it would feel to go in outer space? Well, get ready to spend a lot of money then. Scientist have been researching to get a way to Mars. They are building models and people have signed up to go to Mars. A man named Elon Musk is building a prototype named Grasshopper and is almost ready with it. He is working on getting us there and trying to make it possible to claim land. Also there was a treaty signed on 1967 called the Outer Space treaty which told us that countries can’t claim land but didn’t say anything about personal land claim. Furthermore I don't think that people should buy land on Mars. A reason why people shouldn’t get land because we can’t even live there. According to a recent blog that I read by Robert Walker which it is called Science 2.0, it said that Mars has no value for us except for the minerals or tourism. We can’t grow anything so we can’t eat anything. The surface is hard and rocky, then how will we build anything on top of it. We can’t have oxygen …show more content…
This article I saw was Miami Herald by Teresa Anjou said, there was a treaty proposed called the Outer Space Treaty, and it a treaty that forms the basis of international space law. It tells us that, countries can’t claim land but it didn’t say anything about us owning it. That’s why Elon Musk is trying to get us there. But if the Outer Space treaty comes out again and if they say that countries can claim land, then All the states that signed the treaty will want most of the land. The countries will want all of the land and then other countries would want it to, maybe then everyone will want to fight over Mars. North Korea already has nuclear missiles and could destroy countries. Mars is a place that cold make history of us going there, but I think that all of the countries would want all of the land, then war will break out. That is the 2nd reason why we shouldn’t claim land on
Would you want to live on Mars? Some would say yes, others no, I am against going to Mars and think that we should stick to Earth and put our time, money, and energy into fixing this planet. I will show you all the reason why we can not go to that red planet.
There is an ongoing debate on the issue of weaponizing space in order to protect our national space assets and achieve national strategic objectives. This is an issue because of the increase of more space faring nations trying to exploit the benefits of space and other nations also trying to develop capabilities to disrupt other from using it. This background paper will outline the current international laws and policies, our national policies in regard to space, current issues that catalyzed this debate, the benefits and disadvantage of weaponizing space.
Both organizations plan to go to Mars by 2022, (Nicky, 2016). So far, SpaceX has learned how to reuse spaceships which would save millions of dollars. They believe that Mars may be expensive, but it’s worth it to further expand life across our solar
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.
...egular people, believing that if someone was to go to Mars they might have been able to survive A variety of organic compounds present may mean a life is probable. Also, if the trip to Mars in 2023 turns out to be a positive one, then it will prove to everyone that in the future more and more people will move to this other planet. A lot of people will find it unnecessary to stay on Earth if they can start a new life somewhere else in the galaxy. Even though the trip will have America paying billions and billions of dollars, it truly is worth it. A life on Mars could mean living to an older age and being healthier. The point of going to the Red Planet is to find out if there is a better life somewhere other than on Earth. Just like NASA astronaut, Buzz Aldrin said, humans will most likely reach Mars and when they do humans will turn into a two-planet species.
Mars is our next best hope in life on another planet. Because of science mankind can grow and harvest plants in the modified mars soil, make a thick warm atmosphere, and drink no frozen mars water. Mankind can grow and flourish more as a species with this idea of colonizing mars. With more scientific advancements we can colonize mars and we will colonize mars.
Even though we have confirmed the possibility of colonizing Mars, there are certain limitations posed by our current technology and by the space environment that could make traveling to Mars lengthy, expensive, and dangerous.
The planet Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system. It is named after the Roman god of war, and has been a point of interest for hundered of year because of its stark red color in the nighttime sky. After scientists successfully landed men on the moon, they set their next long-term goal to land on Mars. Plans have been made and a 500 day trip into deep space has been proposed. It will be the longest amount of time in space for a human and also they will not be in direct contact with Earth.
President Bush is the first of two presidents that we will talk about in regards to the National Space Policy. During the presidential race, the candidates make
..., including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies since 1967, alongside the Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space resolution A/55/558. We strongly believe that the exploration of outer space should be held with the likes of Terra Nullis (“land belonging to no one”) in international law. Thus, it is crucial that we treat space and other celestial bodies as a source for intellectual and scientific findings, not the grounds for militaristic advantage and armed conflict. We must delegate on how to prevent states with current technological capabilities for space exploration from abusing that power in the name of “science”. Furthermore, we should work more actively on allowing developing countries the same possibility for outer space achievements, whether through access to outer space research facilities and/or economic assistance to enhance technologies in this field.
The Moon Agreement stands as a supplement to the Outer Space Treaty, building upon the principles established within it but with a specific focus on the moon. It is interesting to see the idea of increasing the level of human well-being across the planet reemphasized in this agreement, as expressed in Article 4: “The exploration and use of the moon shall be the province of all mankind and shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries, irrespective of their degree of economic or scientific development. Due regard shall be paid to the interests of present and future generations as well as to the need to promote higher standards of living and conditions of economic and social progress and development in accordance
This paper will discuss the United States’ stance concerning the space laws, policies and directives by providing analysis in the areas of space laws, policies and
For my senior thesis, I wanted to choose a topic related to current space issues. While researching plans for exploration and possible future colonization of Mars, the question hit me: Should we try to colonize Mars? Although colonization is an exciting concept promising numerous societal benefits, some propose reasons
There are many reasons that space exploration should continue. If Earth ever becomes too overpopulated or over polluted, then perhaps people can move to Mars. The world population in 1970 was approximately 4 billion people, and is currently nearly 6 billion people. The world population in 2015 is estimated to be 7 billion people. There is a possibility that there are useful resources on Mars. Scientists have found ice and some other clues, such as craters, volcanoes, and valleys, that have led them to believe that there was once life on Mars, and they believe that sometime in the future, should planet Earth need to be evacuated, humans will be able to live there (Jakosky 142). Many of the rocks on Mars appear to have been formed by gasses, breathable by humans and other creatures. A process called terraforming will allow astronauts to make use of the resources that are on the planet and create an atmosphere that will support life. One method for terraforming is that scientists would convert the gaseous rocks back into gasses, and use gas-eating organisms to eat the gas, which results in the formation of other gasses. If these organisms continue the cycle, then Mars would have a stable atmosphere for humans to live in (Getz 39).
