"Space Travel-100 Years from Now"
by Kacey Liu
Have you ever wanted to go to the moon or to any other planet? Well, maybe in a hundred years people will get the chance to go to the moon or somewhere else on a spaceship. In the future, there might be a chance to go move to Mars or to be able to travel to other planets.
The first thing humans could do for space travel in one hundred years would be to move to Mars. Moving to Mars has seemed a possibility in the future for a long time. Many people already think that life could happen on Mars especially since the supposed "Martians" are living on Mars which might not be true. However, scientists have started research about Mars and have reached some astonishing conclusions. They have concluded that Mars shows that there could have been life on Mars before. Scientists have found evidence of water in the icecaps that are frozen on Mars. They have also concluded that Mars has the right conditions for water, heat, and oxygen which are all things that we need to survive. Who knows? In one hundred years, scientists could discover a way to melt the polar icecaps. The water would flow over the land and fill the rifts and valleys. The water could irrigate the soil and the soil could be able to grow plants and trees in it. The plants and trees could use the carbon dioxide that Mars's atmosphere is made of and release oxygen instead. Water could also be a source for electricity and therefore could provide heat. In time, humans would be able to live on Mars.
After humans succeed in living on Mars, space travel could extend to other planets. Scientists could develop new spaceships with an outer covering that could allow the spaceship go through each of the planet's atmosphere safely and possibly land or observe the planet through air. Think about what you would see. It's almost impossible to imagine what it would be like to fly past Saturn's rings or to see Mars. It all depends on the advances of technology to design a spaceship that is capable of doing this. NASA is working on new spacecrafts hat could go deeper into space to as far as Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. Blue Origin's New Shepard Reusable Launch System is trying out spacecrafts reaching higher altitudes each time. It won't be strange to see travelers touring the planets in one hundred years.
Moving to Mars and traveling around our solar system are possibilities in one hundred years. You might even want to go live on Mars yourself Furthermore being able to live on Mars would inspire more space exploration into things that before would have been in our dreams. Traveling to other planets would be exhilarating too. Someday, you might go to travel the solar system for your vacation! This is all possible for space travel one hundred years from now.
