“It is absurd to think that we can bring life on a dead planet like Mars, if we cannot sustain it on a planet steaming with life like Earth!” - Unknown. I think a manned mission to Mars is not a good idea. I think going to Mars to not a good idea, because the effect on the body. First, it is too cold. For example, Article #1 say that the average temperature on Mars is -61 degrees Fahrenheit. Since this would be to cold for humans to live on, going there would not be a good idea. Second, it would damage their bones. For example, Article #1 says that it would damage and weaken a human’s bones, because of the change in gravity. Since it would damage their bones, it would not be very smart to go to Mars. Finally, there is a chance of germs affecting their bodies. For instance, in Article #1 says that there is a small chance …show more content…

For example, would you rather have enough money to pay off the national debt, or try to go to Mars and everyone die, because you fail to plan safefully at 13,000 m.p.h. as stated in Article #3. Since we could use that money for much more useful things, there is almost no point even going to Mars. In conclusion, the trip to Mars is just too
