Argumentative Essay On Life On Mars

Life on Mars? In our lifetimes, the average human will not be able to leave Earth and explore the galaxies beyond our own. We are stuck here unless we go through rigorous training and exercises, and even then we still might not be able to travel through space and explore new planets. A planet that scientists have been heavily studying is Mars mostly because they have found that there was once life on Mars. The facts lie within science, but has the government been lying about life on Mars this whole time? Is there already human inhabitants on Mars creating a second Earth for when Earth is completely depleted of natural resources? Mars is the only planet in our Solar System, other than Earth, that can withhold life on the surface according to NASA. The theory started once NASA discovered the presence of water. Since the
1960’s we have been sending space crafts to Mars to study the surface, the air, the magnetic field, and the craters. On the web I learned that “Many of the studies of Mars involve robots, and are getting more advanced with each flight. Someday a spacecraft may pick up samples from Mars and bring them back to Earth where they can be studies in our best laboratories.” These robots are apparently the only adventurers on the planet. NASA claims that the journey is far too expansive to send humans, but my question is what was stopping us from sending humans to other planets to collect information? It is human nature to have the “see it to believe it” mindset, therefore there is a large population of people who believe there is much more to Mars than the government wants to tell us.
Many people believe that there could possibly be aliens living on Mars, or even that the United States government knows more about Mars than they want us to believe. The leading evidence that aliens could have inhabited Mars is the “Face of Mars”. The face is a large pyramid-like rock sculpture that have similar features of a human face. NASA has claimed for years that the face has no significance to finding life on mars, and that the face doesn’t even truly exist, nor will they even send rovers over to investigate the face further. An author, Richard Hoagland, investigated data released from NASA about the face. He claims that all of the features of the face are far too symmetrical to just be a coincidence. They studied all of the photo evidence of the face, and concluded that there is no other possible explanation other than aliens building the face. To this day, NASA has dismissed the idea of aliens building the face, and aliens ever inhabiting Mars in
general. Personally, I believe that there must be more information that the government does not want to tell us. Ever since I read about the U.F.O incident in New Mexico, I have believed that the government has held information about aliens. I’m not sure why they would hold information from the public, but if I had to guess I would assume the information could endanger our planet. However it’s probably a good thing we don’t know the unknown, it could possibly devastate the world. If the government is okay about withholding information about U.F.O’s then of course they would not tell us about the secrets of life on Mars. There are so many unanswered questions we have about the universe, but so little funding is being put towards discovering a new world. There must be some specific reason why Obama stopped funding NASA. One day in the future we could be having dinner on a different planet. At this rate if Earth becomes depleted of all of our resources we will have no other choice but to leave Earth or else we would all become extinct. Maybe the government is working with the extra-terrestrials on finding us a new planet. Maybe the government is already working on building space stations for us on Mars, and that’s the secret information we can’t know about. It’s like we’re living in one of those cheesy space movies, and we don’t know the plot. One day the truth will come out, but until that day comes all we have is to ponder on our conspiracies.
