Mars Should Not Be Colonized
Mars Should Not Be Colonized
The tallest mountain known in the solar system is on Mars. Many people on Earth are actually interested in going to and living on Mars, however, it should not be colonized. To be able to colonize Mars will be risky, the food will not be what humans are used to on Earth, and the trip to Mars is only one way.
The trip to Mars will take about nine months and it is a very risky mission to those colonists who choose to do it. Colonists living on Mars are in for a risky life. Even though the astronauts are in a space suit they could still die if there is a crack in their helmet because of the deadly radiation. There is hardly any oxygen, and the cold temperatures of -80 degrees Fahrenheit will be unbearable. In addition, the colonists are leaving so many things like their family, friends, pets, and their favorite foods! The people who are going to Mars are making a very risky decision.
Shipping food from Earth to Mars would take too much time and be too expensive. The only way to grow food would be in special greenhouses. Mars's The thin atmosphere of Mars and lack of sun make it next to impossible to grow crops outside. Since crops would be restricted to greenhouses, colonist would have to depend on freeze-dried food most of the time. Making matters worse the human sense …show more content…
Colonists going to Mars will not be able to come back because they don't have the technology for the return trip. They will become very homesick and miss the Earth lifestyle with family and friends. There are NO hospitals, so if they get injured, they will not be able get the needed help. The long trip would require a fully stocked spacecraft of food (freeze dried chicken)water and lots of fuel. It will be an expensive trip! MIT has calculated that the budget to send our first crew to Mars will be $6 billion. The risks involved are not only safety issues but also a huge expense, both being a big
