Travelling to Mars
While the whole concept of possibly finding another planet to live in is most certainly a interesting thing to think about but I do not believe Mars is that answer at all. I think this episode was definitely the most controversial because the experts in the video seemed really optimistic about actually being able to live on it when in reality I don't think this will ever be possible. First off Nobody knows for sure what exactly Mars all contains this alone suggests that we have no idea what we are getting ourselves into if we seriously start considering moving there. There shouldn't even be such a debate when we live on a perfectly good planet in the first place. We can't deny that earth would be far better off if we actually gave an effort towards benefiting it. However, now our planet is dying and we look to another planet as our alternative, but for real mars? While I am not against the research and looking into other planets I just think that we have a lot farther to go before we even consider this and I honestly think mars is a poor solution.

I wrote about the same episode. You have some similar viewpoints and did a good job of defending them, I think it is a bad idea to spend so much money and time on this planet when we have so many signs telling us that it is not going to work.
ReplyDeleteI feel that it will never happen in our lifetimes or even our great great grand kids. But at some point way down the line I believe there will be life on another planet. The planet Earth will not be able to sustain that much human life if we continue to reproduce at the rate we are right now. I feel that Earth is not the only planet like itself and that there maybe others just like it.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The stability of the environment of Mars is not liveable for humans. It lacks a proper atmosphere, which would ideally hold heat in to keep us warm during the dark period or to deflect sun rays to keep us cold enough to survive. This is kind of essential. I believe using Mars for resources is a wonderful idea, and life on other planets is as well. Mars is not the best choice and I believe our research priorities should exist elsewhere. Of course, I still believe some research should be conducted on Mars to find resources and possibly other life.
