The Moon Mars, or the Asteroids; Where do we go next and why?
Have you ever wondered where we would live next ii life on Earth was no longer suitable, and we had to choose another planet to live on? 1 believe that we could live on Mars, although the question of "Life in Space', still lingers in the air, 1 think it's quite possible for Ii Fe to exist elsewhere,
I do not think the Moon would provide a stable living environment. The moon may be our neighbor in space, but it is a cold, lifeless ball of rock, land has no atmosphere. The moon doesn't have liquid water, but so far, it's the only planet that humans have visited. I think that it would be pretty hard to live on the moon; we would have n hard limo breathing and finding water. We need air, food, and water to survive. We wouldn't be able to grow plants without water or air.
If we lived on an asteroid, we would be doors red. An asteroid is a niece of rock, and sometimes metal, Asteroids do not stay in one place, they move. Usually, an asteroid approaches the Earth, moving at thirty miles and sixteen to Forty kilograms a second. Imagine living, or trying to live on a moving asteroid. Our planet would actually be hitting into other planets, and then would (blow up into tiny pieces, How would we survive on a rock that could actually be destroyed in seconds? I would be terrified of living on an asteroid.
I think that Mars is the safest place to go next. Mars is the farthest planet from the sun, and it makes the surface cold. 1t has a thin atmosphere made of carbon dioxide that contains about one percent of Earth's air pressure, from the many books that 1 have rend, T have gathered that this stir isn't breathable. The air pressure would bloat your body and turn your blood into gas, However, l believe that if special space; suits are made to hold air to breathe, life on Mars would be possible.
So far, many researchers say that Mars is to dry planet, with no liquid water. Thus, I have found out that this was not always the case. According to Robin Scagell's Space Explained, there are many dried up water channels, and the iron in the rocks is why they arc red. He also stated that small amounts of water worm found. Also, I have concluded that Mars is a planet that. at some point, had traces of lire Wins, Algae were found once before, and are believed to have been there for some; time. They may not have been 8171e to survive for very long, but maybe with today's technology, there is hope. The only mason Mars is a better choice than the Moon or the asteroids is because we know more, and live found more about Mars. '1 his proves that these could be a chance of life on Mars. I do believe that Mars would provide a safe habitat for human life.
