Living everyday life on Earth can be tough. The constant stress and anxiety that life brings about can have an effect on someone in a variety of different ways, good or bad. But just imagine reliving these things on the foreign ground. Another country? Sure, but another planet? That’s something else.
For years astronomers have pondered about the mysteries surrounding life on another plane and whether or not we could leave the world as we know it. It’s a scary thought but at the same time very thrilling. Recently funding for the Mars One program has gone up and a few people are being selected to go to Mars to live the rest of their days. Mars One aims to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars and prove to the world that people can survive on Mars.
This is an extremely big deal for many people, especially astronomers and those who work specifically in the space program as many scientific discoveries can be made which can further advance the growth of technology and the scope of our minds. By allowing humans to survive on another planet, it allows us to be able to think outside of the box and essentially expands our imagination by making the impossible possible.
A main driving force of the Mars One mission is pure curiosity. A lot of times curiosity gets the better of us but in this case, curiosity will define our humanity and fulfill our purpose as adventurous individuals. Many questions are asked: where did Mars come from? Can it teach us about Earth’s history? Is there life on Mars? These are just 3 of the most frequently asked questions by scientists all over the world and now that humanity is so close to discovering something new, maybe some of these questions will have an answer. But who knows, maybe we’ll only be uncovering more questions… it’s just a matter of time before we find out.
