Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Goodbye,
Earth: 'We're going to live on Mars in 2027'
A ticket
to Mars. It is a planet that attracts many people. Though it is earth’s neighbor
planet, a trip to reach the planet takes several months at least and costs
millions per traveler just for one-way, and no roundtrip ticket seems to be
available at least for a while. The traveler, or better to say the settler in
Mars, must spend the entire time with three other travelers for the entire time
until another flight arrives two years later. What seems to be important is not
only physical health but also teamwork to live and work together for the rest
of their lives
Does it
sound attractive to you? If you’re interested in settling in the red planet,
you may want to start saving money for the trip.
But one
question still remains. Why not the Moon but Mars? NASA succeeded in making 10 manned
roundtrip missions to the Moon including six landings nearly a half century ago
but no commercial trips has been organized or launched yet. A trip to the Moon
seems far less risky and demanding. And most importantly, you can choose whether
just to visit or live in there for a short time or forever.
Enjoy
reading and thinking if you’re interested in living in a place where there is
no natural air, sound or water.
