More on the Mission To Mars…

6 Comments

I’ve talked about the topic of Mars before on my site. A lot of people mistakenly believe that it would be pretty easy for NASA to travel to Mars and have a human being step on Mars safely, without any harm and successfully leave the planet after exploring it. If you think it’s easy, why don’t you try it. Go to MARS yourself and step on the planet, I’m positive you would be dead in a flash

I can think of several reasons why Mars would be a dangerous planet, and why it would take years and years of investigation for a human being to successfully step on Mars for the first time.

  • The planet could either be cold or hot at the same time – Yeah, I know that the further a planet is away from the sun the colder it gets, but Mars sounds like it may be pretty hot at times too since the planet could be volcanic. There has been lava flow sightings on the planet before as I said.
  • The planet could have dangerous dust storms – The planet is very dusty and dirty, there’s very strong winds on the planet at times, which I bet a human being couldn’t handle no matter what kind of astronaut suit you wear.
  • There could be aliens on the planet – You may say there’s no such thing but there could be lifeforms on the planet. You may never know what’s around.
  • Mars has a pretty thin atmosphere – There you go, here’s the big reason why it would be impossible to make it on Mars. It’s said that it’s full of methane which could be dangerous for human, could cause asphyxiation.
  • Radiation – That’s another big one, the cosmic rays. I read that could give humans cancer.
  • Food and Shelter – How is NASA going to survive without food and shelter on MARS? That maybe pretty risky if you think about it.
  • The air may not be safe to breathe, not enough for a human to take – I’m sure NASA would build a breathe-able enough suit where you can survive on Mars, but still pretty risky.

I can go on people. If you think it’s easy for NASA to send someone over to step on Mars, then you’re delusional. It would probably happen someday, yes, like I said, but it won’t happen anytime soon. It’ll probably happen in 2030 or later. In my opinion, we don’t have the technology to do it right now.

It’s not easy as some of you think it is. I would like it to happen yes, it would be wonderful. I’m sure other planets in our solar system are just as dangerous too. Just wanted to give you a bit of a reality check.

  1. There is no current volcanic activity on Mars – and of course they would require suits for breathing, as they do on every single spacewalk and during the moon landing. It isn’t some new incredible technology NASA is trying to grapple with. Everyone is already well aware of the atmospheric conditions, Kev.

    1. No matter what you think, Mars is dangerous and a risky project. You have to understand that fact. All the stuff you’re saying is just opinion.

      1. And about an astronaut breathing suit, they need a special suit, you can’t wear a regular suit. Mars is not the fucking Moon, ya know??? Mars is a different thing we’re talking about here. Mars is full of different gasses and chemicals in the air, that a regular astronaut suit can’t even take. They would need a safe suit, that’s good enough for Mars. If they use the wrong type of suit, he would be dead pretty quick. Even if they use the right kind of suit that’s good for Mars, they need to look at how long the suit will last on the planet. There’s so much investigation to do. They were successful on the Moon ’cause that was easier and like I said, Mars is different. They’re going to have to do a lot of testing and experimenting. Maybe test out Mars experimenting by sending an animal there first, that’s what they’ll probably do, I think.

      2. Excuse me for my language, I cuss and swear a lot. That’s how I talk on and off the computer. It’s my language. 🙂

  2. I’m confused. Who is this blog post directed at?

    No one I know expects to be on Mars for at least a decade, and probably a few years more. Nor do I think NASA would send someone there without knowing everything about what is needed to survive. They have sent several probes and a couple of rovers that provide data. We do know quite a bit about the planet.

    1. They know quite a bit, but not everything. I mean, what if they did try to send someone over there, and what if it fails, that person ends up dying because of a mistake? It could happen. How are they going to leave the planet safely after getting done exploring? Those are questions that needs answers.
