“Living
on Mars may sound like impossible, but for Dutch, it is possible”
Earth as our home which
until now we stayed, continues to experience damage. It is caused by humans are
destroying the environment of earth. Earth is more dense population which
spread across the continents. Total amount of the Earth’s population has
reached six billion, and this number will increase along with the development of
technology. Population growth will result in environmental damage such as Global
Warming. It will cause a lot of fear in people about the future of this earth.
And many people think, is there any place other than earth to be habitable?
We need another place which
capable supporting life like on earth.
Dutch is never stopped
uncover a new knowledge. Currently, Dutch are on mission where
human on earth can migrate to Mars as next place habitable, it is called Mars
One.
Dutch plans to land human on Mars in April, 2023 as the beginning of life
in Mars. This project has a background to explore outer space as a home to live
other than Earth. It was first initiated by Gerard’t Hooft, an ambassador for
Mars One. Why Should Mars?

The
solar system has ten planets. Based on several studies have shown that Mercury
and Venus are too hot because it’s close to the sun. Jupiter is uninhabitable
because it is composed by gas. Saturnus, Uranus, and Neptunus are too cold
because far from the sun. There’s only one possibility namely Mars (Red Planet).
Creating a new life on Mars
is not easy, several steps will be taken to achieve it. The first step is Mars
One will launch a communication satellite and a supply mission in 2016. The
second is send a large rover to the Mars in 2018. The third is launch equipment
life support and another rover in 2020. And then the first human will be
arrived in 2023.
Dutch is currently preparing
a vehicle to get to Mars. They plan to launch many components Falcon Heavy
Rocket. It is still in development.
Currently, Mars One is
providing applications for anyone who wants to inhabit the Red Planets. The ticket cost about US$ 38. And then the
Mars One will launch to identify the suitable colonist. Human who go to the
Mars will live there for the rest of their lives because they only have one way
ticket. It means, they can’t come back to the earth.
