Traveling to other planets has
always been a mystery to me. I could never understand why people always need
more than what they have. It seems a little ridiculous to think that we aren’t
satisfied destroying one planet; that now we are going to change another just
for our own selfish reasons. The human population is over abundant as is and
spreading to a new planet would only make that worse. How does anyone think
that it will be a good idea to place people on two different planets when the
world is so out of control already? I think that it would be great to travel to
outer space and explore what the universe has to offer. But on the other hand I
wouldn’t want to destroy any of the magnificent creations. The universe is
something in my opinion that can’t be captured or tamed. It is the whole to
life as we know it and needs to keep the mysteries of wonder. That’s why I
disagree with colonizing on Mars. Even though it would be a great experience
and we can learn a lot, I don’t think that it’s necessary. Think of all the
things that can be fixed or helped here in our own backyard on Earth. Everyone
sees that the world could be better but we don’t all try and save it. Instead we
make plans to ditch the old and start new. The problem is what happens when
this planet goes down too. Where would we all go then?
I liked what you all pointed out here. I feel like we would end up destroying another planet like we have earth if we moved. Changing locations doesn't change the habits and terrible tactics we have developed over the years regarding how we treat our own planet.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely. If we can't take care of one planet, how are things going to be any different on a different planet. Things may be alright for a little while, but eventually the people living on Mars will be faced with the same problems we are facing today. I feel that moving to another planet is a way to run away from the problems. Eventually humans are going to run out of planets. Then what?
ReplyDeleteI don't agree that we are destroying the planet we have. It took us awhile to realize the things we do have an effect on the planet we life on but we also made great strides to lessen the effects we have on our planet. It's a learning process. I do however agree that space traveling is good for the exploration aspect but not for looking for a new place to live. We were given a great planet to live on and if we were meant to move to another planet they would be more habitable.
