We need to entrench the survival of our species. Many critics may say that we should remain on earth and that we’ll keep evolving despite any population harming events. However‚ to put it in a deeper prospective‚ the dinosaurs got wiped out by asteroids‚ all that remains now is fossils. This could be the human species years from now. All things considered‚ becoming a multi planetary species would provide a stronger chance of survival. As well as the fact that Mars has become our only “Plan B” considering

THE SOLAR SYSTEM T The Solar System consists of the Sun and the astronomical objects gravitationally bound in orbit around it‚ all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The vast majority of the system’s mass (well over 99%) is in the Sun. Of the many objects that orbit the Sun‚ most of the mass is contained within eight relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular and lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic
