Note: My National Geographic magazine entries are not in order, (this is because I don't always have time to do my entries).
How? And how are we trying to take Mars over? I will explain. We have already walked on the moon.
Hi! I love dinosaurs. Today I will be doing a 2016 National Geographic magazine entry.
MARS: We are on Earth, but can we survive on another planet? There's one possible planet. Mars.
However, Mars is a much tougher target. We haven't been able to even live on our moon. Here are the problems and the possible solutions: The first problem is water. Water is the most important thing that we (and most other kinds of life) need to survive. There are two possible solutions: One, we can get ice from Mars poles, then melt the ice to get water.
The second option is to get water from Earth.
Now, what about food?
We could store food in our rocket. But what to do if it runs out.
We could plant food, however, it won't be easy, especially using Mars' "soil".
We could of send food supplies via rocket, however it will take too long.
So therefore, we need another solution.
For example, we can have fish in out rocket and plant lots of food using soil from Earth.
Building a base on Mars is easy, as long as it's small, strong and built by robots.
But who will go on to Mars? If they agree, a crew of one cook, three people and a few robots.
Now what about the energy source?☇
The only source is most likely nuclear energy. Because Mars is too cold for solar panels and is not always windy. There are more problems, but I will only talk about the most important ones.
Also, our crew can't go outside. This is because Mars' air is toxic with gasses.
So overall, is Mars really a new Earth??????? Or is it a dusty planet that scientists hope we can live on?
Conclusion: Mars is still a mystery to us. So, building a colony on Mars is possible.
However, we should clean the Earth's oceans and land and atmosphere before we move on to Mars.
