Mars OneMars One is a future organization and mission with many goals. Mars One plans to launch a one-way trip to Mars in 2025. By sending Mars One, scientists hope to achieve goals such as the survival of humans on Mars, the successful growth of plants, and to learn more about the planet. Mars One is a non-profit organization that lives primarily on donations to fund its missions ("Information"). Mars One was founded in 2011, but wasn't widely known until a few months later (“About”). The Mars One organization was founded by a select team, and the mission to send humans to Mars cannot be accomplished without them. There are many goals that can hopefully be achieved that will have a huge impact on history and society. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and is a seven-mouth journey (space.com). The reason why the planet Mars is red is because the surface is covered in minerals that make it look like the rusty color that earth sees (space.com). Mars has a very thin and cold atmosphere, which should mean that water cannot exist, but water and ice have been discovered on the planet (space.com). Mars also has a much colder climate than Earth, which is why when people are on Mars, they have to wear Mars suits while they are there (space.com). Of all the eight planets in our solar system, Mars is the most suitable for human life on a planet other than Earth. Mars is like Earth in many ways, but it is also different. Mars has water and ice, which is why scientists believe plants could eventually be grown on Mars (space.com). Once plants have grown, oxygen can form and strengthen the atmosphere (space.com). When the atmosphere is thicker, the planet will be livable for humans (space.com). The ultimate goal of scientists is to have human life on Mars which can be... middle of paper... most of what scientists know and need to know about conditions on Mars is known at Skylab, Mir and the International Space Station. Photovoltaic panels will power housing units on Mars. There are limitations to this mission due to budgetary costs. One issue that may arise later in the mission is how astronauts on Mars will get the resources they need to survive. Because there is no way to know whether the water on Mars can be consumed, Earth must send large amounts of water to Mars (“Technical Feasibility”). Astronauts must also be cautious of the high amount of radiation on Mars ("Technical Feasibility"). Mars One plans to do great things in history and achieve great things for our nation. The mission hopes to build a permanent habitation structure on Mars and have successful plant growth on the red planet.
