Mars vs Moon
Moon vs Mars
Why we should go to Mars not the Moon:
We should go to Mars instead of the Moon because we have already been to the moon multiple times. It is simply a waste of money to go into space to go to the moon just because we can. We already know so much about our Moon that going back to it is pointless. However, going to Mars would be a value for money as we have never been before. We would be better spending over 271 million pounds on going to a different planet to expand our knowledge rather than going somewhere we have already been lots of times.
Why we should go to the Moon not Mars:
Going to mars is to far-fetched. For a long time we will not have the technology to go to a different planet. It is simply easier to go to the Moon. It would cost less, and would expand our knowledge about the Moon. We know lots about Mars already so going to it would not help expand our knowledge. In fact it would just cost too much to go there and besides, we don't have the technology anyway.

I think that for now we should travel to Mars because, like the text says, we have already been to the moon. By saying this I don't mean that there is nothing else to explore on the moon because I am sure that there are plenty of things that we have missed. We have been to the moon multiple times so I think that if we are expecting some discovery out of it then Mars is the place to go. My reasons of thinking this is because we have been to the moon many times and what we need is either not there or it is extremely unobvious to find whereas if we were to travel to Mars there could be something waiting there for us to discover that is easier to find. Although traveling to Mars will be more expensive, we would not want to waste our money on the moon. The reason why I say this is because it is pretty expensive to travel both ways so we may as well spend a tiny of a fraction more money on traveling to the place where we need to go!

I think mars and the moon both have different reasons that you might want to go there. The moon as you said, we have already gone to the moon and I think that even though we have already been there, it would still be educational to go there as we still don't know a lot about it and it could prove useful to expand our data bank. The problem of going to the moon is that it would be almost impossible to inhabit it as the atmosphere is unbreathable and their is no gravity not to mention it varies between 253 degrees, to negative 387 degrees Fahrenheit in a single day. Mars is more habitable than the moon as The Martian day is very close in duration to Earth's. A solar day on Mars is 24 hours.
Mars has a surface area that is 28.4% of Earth's, which is only slightly less than the amount of dry land on Earth. My sources are wikipedia and quora. This is my view and I hope you take this into consideration.
I just want to conclude that this is a good post.

I think we should go to mars because scientists have proved that there is more life on mars than moon because there was life on mars and there is no life proven on the moon there also there was no water on the moon but there was on mars so there might of been life on mars so that may be a better habitat on mars than the moon also it has a 24:39 minute day span and mars is a bigger place for more people to live and mars has not been explored as much as the moon so it is a better place to explore so I strongly believe that we should explore mars than the moon
29 Nov 2019
I would choose Mars because we have already seen a lot about the moon.
29 Nov 2019
I think we should go to both places equally
I like this idea crafty_hurricane's because we could find more information faster
30 Nov 2019
I think that we should expand our knowledge about the moon before we go to Mars because we have sent rovers up there but still do not know if it would be safe for humans.
Also, continuing on the topic of rovers, 6 have been sent up to Mars by humans but I don't believe that we have the right technology for us to go there yet.
30 Nov 2019
I think we should go to Mars because, like you said, we have already been to the moon multiple times and we can already study it incredibly well without people travelling there - in short, it is unneeded. Mars is further away than the moon, however, so travelling to it would be a better option so we can understand it better as from artificial intellegence we can only get a few ideas about Mars. We could also build a colony on Mars whereas the moon doesn't have the right conditions for permanent human life, or at least I think as if it was possible we probably would be living on the moon now. But space companies are planning to send people to Mars in the very near future, meaning that life on Mars is probably possible and it will be very common soon.
01 Dec 2019
I think that we should go to marz and not the moon, I think this because we have already been to the moon lots of times and there is no point to go again and waste more money on something that we have already discovered.l also think that the international space station is spending way too much money on space exploration, when they can spend it on discovering other planets such as Jupiter and Venus.
01 Dec 2019
I think that we should go to mars instead of the moon because:
We have never been before,
We have already been to the moon so why not go to mars,
We can find out more about our solar system.
02 Dec 2019
I think we should explore Mars because we have found out lots about the moon so I do agree that we could know more fun facts about Mars and add facts to our solar system and that would be amazing to add something different.
02 Dec 2019
They can't fight
02 Dec 2019
I think we should go to mars instead of the moon because we have not explored mars and we could find life which would be extraordinary. I think some people might disagree because the moon is safe and it would be good to revisit it.
03 Dec 2019
I think we should go to mars because weve been to the moon hundreds of times so why bother when we can go to mars
we have been to the moon hundreds of times but failed lots so i think we should practice are space knowledge then send robots to mars and then go in 2030
03 Dec 2019
Mars because it has a lot of water.
03 Dec 2019
Lots of people have already visited the moon so why not investigate features that are important on mars, there could be anything incredible, us humans haven't noticed.

yes but the could die out there! Or they could get lost if they go out side!
03 Dec 2019
In my opinion we should go to the moon over mars but I will give opinions on both sides of the argument.
For going to Mars:
Some reasons for going to Mars over the moon are that the moon has been explored and human footprints are on its rock, but mars hasn't got human footprints on. It is possible for mars to have the secret ingredient to curing cancer and saving several lives. Mars is a good looking planet that we would love to explore it for ourselves instead of robots.
For going to the moon:
In my opinion, the moon would be better because:
Firstly, in a recent experiment, we have found out that mars' air is to thin to breathe. Also, in a recent BNC lesson, we turned space into a miniature scale and Mars is 1 killometre away from Earth compared to a tiny 7 steps to the Moon. This is a 9 month journey and if you go into space for a long time, your genes and blood can change and become infected. Also a rocket, sent by India, to the moon lost contact to Earth, imagine going to Mars! It is a massive risk that I recommend not taking.
In conclusion, I would recommend us going to the moon over mars for several safety reasons.
03 Dec 2019
Reasons for Mars:
I think we should explore Mars as the moon has already been discovered and explored. We know around 65% of the moon and around 10% of Mars, the only footage of Mars is through photographic footage and the curiosity rovus. They are both robotic though.
Reasons for the moon:
Mars' air is to thin to take in and it lacks oxygen. Plus, it takes a long time to land on the moon. Imagine that on Mars when it is further away. Either way it is polluting disgusting things and that is a reason not to go to either of them.
03 Dec 2019
I believe heading towards Mars is more advantageous for us as a race because it enables us to find unknown features of space as well as Mars. In addition, lots of countries, and people have gone towards and landed on the Moon and as a result we've found out a lot about our Moon. However, not being to Mars apart from sending robots to explore Mars we haven't gone very far after that. Excluding talk about living on it we could find other minerals, resources on mars that we've almost ran out of on Earth. It could also help us understand more about the Universe that we live in.
03 Dec 2019
I agree because no one has went to Mars.
03 Dec 2019
I think we should explore and discover Mars and the Moon.
Why we should go to Mars!
We should go to mars because no body has ever been to mars. Therfore we can descover mars and see if it is safe. Also it would be intreasting to see if there is life on mars.
Why we should go to the moon!
We should go to descover the moon because we could help and clear out all the space junk.
03 Dec 2019
And if we clear up space junk it could help the enviorment
03 Dec 2019
I agree with you but they are both unique in different ways. It is possible that there may be something about the moon that scientists still don't know about.
03 Dec 2019
I think that we should go to Mars as it wold be a great step in space history.On the other hand if we fail the Mars mission we will lose millions and we fill the air with pollution .

03 Dec 2019
I think that going into Mars is a great idea because one of the main reasons why people travel to space is to explore and learn more things about the Earth and bring back more knowledge than before. If we go to the same place multiple times not only would we be spending a lot of money but we would also have less knowledge about anything else because we just want to learn about one place and that may not always be the best idea. The Earth may be close to the moon but going to Mars would really help people and it may give them answers they have been looking for.
When you explore, you need to make sure that you are not leaving behind the other things that matter too because the more you explore, the more you will know and the more ways that will benefit people who live on Earth.
What kind of help would going to Mars give us?
when we went to the moon lots of the stuff used to get there was useful on earth so i think we should head to mars
this would enable us to live there if there is life and we won't find that out if we
don't carry on missions to mars
04 Dec 2019
After learning about Space last year i think that we do need to got to mars not the moon because we have been the the moon about 5 ish times but we have not stepped foot on mars. Mars might have some helpful ingredients to make key things in the would that we could use. They might have some more live things that we dont know
04 Dec 2019
i think we should indeed go to mars because we can experience new things more education it might cost a lot of money and all but still it might be worth it we have been the the moon already i think its time to move to a different planet instead of going to the same one over and over more adventures new things interesting things might be out there who knows unless we try
04 Dec 2019
If we go to mares there is more chances of serving because we know that it was capable of sustaining water

MARS!!!!!>:(!!!!!!!!!!!
why
04 Dec 2019
I think we should go to mars because it will give us more understanding about what is here on mars and it will help with science experiment
04 Dec 2019
this is my opinion. we should go to mars because there could be stuff we have never found be fore
and scientists could make a cure with it
04 Dec 2019
Lots of people have already visited the moon so i think we should visit Mars for a change because we could actually find something really useful like a new mineral or even incredible and it could help us survive longer.
A straightforward and clearly explained reason, unbiased_honeyberry. Is there any benefit of going to the moon?
04 Dec 2019
I think that we should not go to them ever because we have thing in the sea.
04 Dec 2019
I think that we should stop exploring the Moon so we can explore Mars. Because no one really knows about Mars. So i think it is helpful to send people or robots up to Mars.
04 Dec 2019
We could go to both, if we go to the moon again we could learn about it a bit more. But if we go to the mars we know about a different plant as well as earth.
04 Dec 2019
The moon you an go to but mars you can not go to because it to hot
You can go to mars and it wouldn't be much hotter even though it is closer to the sun. I don't think we would have a problem going there except for the fact that it is further away. If we decided to go to mars we might have a few problems going there but why not risk it to go to a different planet? However I think that if we were to have a vote throughout the whole world (if possible) then we would be able to decide and make a decision. If we go to mars (referring to unbiased_honeyberry) then we might be able to find different chemicals but they probably won't be able to make us last longer, although they may help as some sort of medicine. This is my opinion which I hope you took in.
04 Dec 2019
In my opinion, I actually don’t think we should go to Mars yet. Like accomplished_reality said, we still don’t have the technology and we know a lot about the moon but we still don’t know every thing. We should keep on our travels to the moon for just simple research and then we will learn even more! Well, obviously. But my whole point is the knowledge is power and we could do a lot with that power.
But hey, if you think about it, another positive side of it, is while we can be adventuring to the moon over again, (if the existence of aliens actually exist) we may find new inspiration for higher tech? We still know very little about space as a whole, and it maybe super inaccurate. But there is that chance. And sometimes people do everything for just a slight chance.
04 Dec 2019
I think that we should travel to Mars because Mars holds a lot more potential than the Moon does. We have been to the moon already, as was said in the post, but we have not been to Mars, which would mean a lot more discovery about the planet, but also about space in general, and the potential for Mars' human habitation. A few years ago, water was found on Mars, in the form of ice, and, in one, place, brine. If we keep discovering it, we could find even more things that make it suitable for human life, meaning it could potentially be a refuge from the declining state of our planet. The Moon does not hold this potential, meaning it could not be of much use to us as a species and our survival, whereas Mars could provide a place for humans to go if Earth becomes too overcrowded and uninhabitable, whereas the Moon could not, so has no benefit to humans apart from accomplishment and satisfaction, which would only be for a few, as it has been done before.
Well done for explaining your reasons clearly. How useful would Mars be for habitation? Can you find out what our experts have said?
04 Dec 2019
We havn't actually been on mars so it could be interesting seeing humans go there and living there
04 Dec 2019
A lot of people have been to the Moon and if someone goes to Mars they could win a world record and their country will be very proud so we should encourage people to atleast try to go to Mars.No one has went to Mars before and Mars is the closest to Earth.Mars has one of the most largest mountains in the world so maybe astronauts can discover that.Every astronaut is probably very curious about going to Mars if they can.People probably chose Mars because Mercury is to far,Venus is dry,Jupiter is a gas giant and Saturn is classified as a gas giant,Uranus and Neptune are too far.Since everyone is about Mars it feels very interesting to learn and talk about it.
Lots of reasons here, compassionate_seal, well done. Which is the best one for going to Mars?
I think that Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants so they are filled with gas unlike Earth which is made out of core.
04 Dec 2019
I agree with you miraculous_ knowledge as we have visited the Moon several times but like you said we still have more to discover on it. Mars could become our home unlike the Moon which is tiny and could quickly become over-crowded like Earth. This means finding more about our sister planet will be more beneficial to us¬; seeing in more depth of how civilization could thrive there. Concluding my investigation into this, my reasons above clearly show how beneficial exploring Mars over the Moon would be to us. However, I also agree with careful_ science when he says that the two rocky bodies would be equally of use to us, and that the Moon is still filled with wonders waiting to help problems on Earth? He also talks briefly Mars’ 24-hour cycle. This would keep astronauts from getting very confused because that’s what the day-night cycle is on Earth. The reasoning behind my argument is clear, I’m really interested in hearing yours too BNC!!!!!
[ and are you even allowed to share your opinions?]
04 Dec 2019
where my comment above says ¬; it is meant to be a dash!
05 Dec 2019
I think that we have already been around the Moon and we have explored most of it and many Peaple have been there. I think that now it is time to take it to the next level and try to put a man on Mars and if we make the change of landing on Mars we could discover something very useful like a new mineral or something amazing that could boost our population by so much more. This might not be just humans but it could be animals too like we might be able to stop some animals from being extinct or help the endangered animals.
Therefore, I think we should go to Mars.
05 Dec 2019
I believe that the next step to human exploration of space is to go to mars as we may find new things we may not of knew existed like a object that could help us make some sort of new technology maybe allowing us to travel further through space to other planets or maybe we could find a new form of life only see able to the naked eye that may help us, and we may start up a interstellar base and become marshans.
05 Dec 2019
I think we should go to the moon again but we should go to the mars first, if the earth heat up we know we can go up to space to mars as another planet
05 Dec 2019
I think we should go to the moon again but we should go to the mars first, if the earth heat up we know we can go up to space to mars as another planet
05 Dec 2019
i think we should learn about more about the mars because we have lots of moon and we haven't seen and we don`t know how hot mars
05 Dec 2019
i agree because we should explore something different because lots of people have been to the moon before but before we that humans go to mars we should let robots go because we don't know what we can find as well what happens if we have a failed flight people could die. But mars sounds so fun to go to what happens if earth warms up we will have to go to mars so that is why we should send robots and when its safe and then we can go for our self.
05 Dec 2019
I believe that if globle warming got really bad, or our planet exploded we would have to move to a different planet.I think we would have to move to mars because the moon is to close to the earth and if the earth exploded, like I said as one of my points we could die. So I would live on mars because it safer the the moon. Thank you 😀😀
Good ideas but the moon is way to small for everyone on Earth to live there anyway. Mars might be habitable in the future if people carry on trying to make more inventions but it seems like it would be to hard because of the atmosphere.
05 Dec 2019
Good thinking! I think we should try to go to the Mars because we already know more about the moon. It would take a long time to get enough money and the journey would also take a long time but it would be worth it more than going to the moon again. When Tim Peake came back down from the moon, he could hardly walk but i think that people make more machines to use for exercising. It would take a long time to figure out the best ways to do this but it would create more scientific advances which could help us on Earth and in discovering more of the universe.
05 Dec 2019
Actually, now i think that going to the moon would give us more ideas on how to go to Mars because going to Mars would be very hard.
05 Dec 2019
I think, that we should maybe start to move people over to mars because are world is probably going to die or explode but first we should deal with problems on earth. In our class, we have been disgusting if we should let people into mars and not animals .
how will the earth blow up
05 Dec 2019
In my opinion, I would say that going to Mars and seeing if we can live there would be really good because the earth is not big enough for humans anymore. If some humans live on Mars and some on earth, then it would balance out. The people on earth can look on the Moon and then we can also balance the money so we can do half of the money on the Moon and half on Mars.
this will not only help humans but also the earth
05 Dec 2019
I think we should go to mars because we have already gone to the moon . it will be new and we may find out somethig that may affect our lives.
What might we find?
I agree to this
05 Dec 2019
Moon is better because if you stand foot on mars you be burnt due to the fact that is extremely hot.
Could you give us some evidence for Mars being extremely hot? Or are you thinking of Mercury?
as I know that mars is the next planet after earth, it cant be hotter
05 Dec 2019
mars is really cold because the moon is attach to the sun
06 Dec 2019
This is a big one, I’m betting there’s going to be a big debate about this later. But here’s my opinion.
For the moon, some people would want to go to the moon because it has craters so we could get a head start and get some mining. However on mars there and big hills, basically the opposite of the moon. However if we want to mine we might need some strong materials to mine the moon.
Now mars, with the nearing future and climate change one of the BIG reasons to explore mars is to see if we could live there. However this would mean we would need a LOT of rockets to move all 7 Billion people to mars. Plus rockets need fuel to run and that would mean we have to options: 1. Build a giant rocket and take people in that or, 2. Make lots of rockets. I’ll leave the discussion to the government from here.
What’s possible to mine from the moon? And can you find out what governments are saying about this?
You never know, thats what people want to find out!
Well done, kind_dinosaur!
06 Dec 2019
mars is minus 125 degrees in winter and minus 60 in summer
this is why we need robots up there too
06 Dec 2019
i am an accomplished_reality (the person who posted it) side of thinking because he is thinking about both planets also along with there pro's and con's.from my point of view i like to think outside the box so i would preferably go to mars because scientists want to see if there is any living species on mars or if there is some sort of forming air bubble and also what minerals are in Marses caves or simply just in the ground.And after all i know scientists do not know if mars has a core or not
06 Dec 2019
i think we should go to mars because there might be life
But there is a machine on mars whaching what's happening right now
this is good but we need to pay a lot for this and it could break down at any time
06 Dec 2019
I agree it's a waste becouse just becouse the moon is are natural satellite just meen you only have to stop there anyway scientist says that mars may have sustained life but that needs to be proven
06 Dec 2019
We should probably go set up a moon base and then go to mars because gravity is almost nonexi
06 Dec 2019
We should probably go to the moon and setup a moon base but if you are talking about were we should explore I think mars because no man has ever gone there and many people have gone to the moon
06 Dec 2019
we should go to mars because sientists have been investigating mars having life on it
08 Dec 2019
This one was a tough one for me.
On one hand, I think that we should go and keep going to the moon and not Mars because almost every time we go, we find out something that we didn't know before! Even though we have been to the moon multiple times, it would cost less to go because if we go to Mars, we would have to develop a new range of products and technology that would get us there. It would also take a long time to develop that technology and that is probably why NASA says that they will land people there in 2030! (I researched this on Google if anyone wants to find out more).
On the other hand, I think that we should go to Mars because we can find out if the theory of water on Mars is true and that the astronauts that are in the space programme can feed back to us if it is or not. The scientists can also see if the climate on Mars can allow humans to live there, if it can sustain life by looking at the effects it has on their health and safety. Scientists have said that there is a new planet that has been discovered that could potentially be 'another Earth' meaning that if Mars doesn't work out for humans, we could maybe look at how life would be on there.
In conclusion, using all 4 skills, I think that we should go to Mars and the moon because we can descover new things and for the reasons I stated above.
Two good sets of reasons - particularly about going back to the moon to learn new things!
I tole rly agreed that that because t,h. person is right
Thank you, super_fish!
09 Dec 2019
If we don’t have the technology to go to another planet, why was it considered an option in the first place?
Because we would make more money and work more hard.
And make more technology
09 Dec 2019
I hear what you are saying about why we should live on Mars not the Moon, however there could potentially be other planets that are safer to live on. Because we haven’t explored and considered the whole universe we don’t know what is out there and if there are any materials that could be helpful for our planet so we might not have to move to a different planet. Thank you for giving us your opinion of what you think it is really helpful.
09 Dec 2019
If we go to the moon we can discover more thing for example we might discover life on the moon but we have already been to the moon
And if we go to mars to get more information because we have only taken probes to the big red ball we can maybe maybe move to mars if we get enough information.
What would happen if we couldn’t move to mars though. Lots of people including scientists are saying that there has been life on Mars before, but what if they are wrong.
09 Dec 2019
I have looked at this with an open mind
I think we should go to mars because you can experience new things. You wouldn’t know what’s out there unless we try. We should stop going to the same place over and over I think it’s time to move to another planet like mars it would be amazing. There could be something interesting out there,there could possibly be anything out there we just have to try and not give up.
09 Dec 2019
I have looked at the evidence with open mindedness. I think we should still research the Moon but we also need to research Mars too. What happens when Earth dies where do we go? Mars has recently been discovered that it could have water!
Candid_cliff
09 Dec 2019
We have discovered that their is already water on Mars so if the Earth explodes we may move to mars in 10,000,000 million years. But if we do move to Mars the water will maybe be disease a kill people of the world.
09 Dec 2019
We are not going to the moon just because we can, we are going to the moon there is still so much to find out about the moon. Also the moon has no atmosphere so there is no way we can live there. Fortunately mars has an atmosphere so we could live there.
But equally we could go to both places.
09 Dec 2019
I think that we should have NASA having a nother part to go to mars along side of going to the moon
09 Dec 2019
Yes I agree with you we should go to mars becaus we have been to the moon got data on the moon but if we go to mars we might find a cure for a medical issue.Also if we keep on going to the moon it will be like we have a force filled but if we go to Mars we might be able to find a way to live there.
09 Dec 2019
I totally agree with you. We should go to Mars instead of going to the moon. There is no point going there again and again. It's just a waste of money.
10 Dec 2019
I totally agreed with you but the Earth will soon never exist so we will have no were to live so we need to go to mars soon to see what is out there
That is very true
10 Dec 2019
If we go to mars then we could discover the mountain and find a very rare material that could help our earth a lot. Also if we go to mars then we could also accomplish the achievement of finding a different animal there.
10 Dec 2019
During this comment I have used my scepticism.
We need to research Mars as well as the Moon because if we research Mars we could find oxygen for when the Earth dies.
On the other hand, we should discover more of the Moon because we could find recourses to help the Earth.
In conclusion I think we should research Mars and the Moon to unlock a new way of life.
10 Dec 2019
I think we should go to mars not the moon because we have not been to mars and we need to expand our knowledge. We don’t need to waste money on somewhere we have already explored like the moon.
10 Dec 2019
I believe there are still reasons why we should travel to the moon as you said we have already traveled to the moon and we know so much about it that can be good as we will know how it works and we won't have to worry about all the difficulties that we would come across on Mars. Although if we went to Mars then we would be able to find new things,maybe, but there's also the fact how we have no idea about what's out there we could run into a warp hole (probably not) but if we did then we may end up on the other side of the universe and not know how to get back to were we where.
This has been excellent_brain
10 Dec 2019
I think that we should go to the moon and mars because at the end of the day they are both still apart of our world and we need to use as much land on our world as possible. As long as we are safe and we are not in danger then I believe that anything is possible and we can succeed going to both planets.
We could make it safe by putting robots on mars and see if it is safe to live there. I know that it will cost a lot of money to keep sending robots to space but I think that it is much better to pay money to risk your life.
But what I still don't understand is that although mars is a really cool planet that we still need to discover more about but what benefit would it really give us just to go to mars surely we should try and go to every planet.

I think we should go to both because if we go to Mars instead of the moon .yes we've already been to the moon and Mars is where we have yet to explore however by going to mars we are decreasing the amount of population on the planet . if the rocket does not make it then we are losing people on the planet .so I think it would be safer to go to the moon even if we have already explored it .

I srongly agree we should go to Mars because I think that if we can land on Mars, we can figure out how to live in space because air on Mars is very thin and according to research we are not able to breath on Mars at the moment. Secondly, we haven't been there yet so it would be a good experience for people. Thirdly, we have all the research about the moon now so now we should gather information about Mars ( the driest planet in the solar system).

moon because we dont know anything about mars.how about Uranis
10 Dec 2019
moon because everyone has curiosity

Moon because we know how the moon looks like and it has a job to create darkness for us to sleep and we do not know that much things about the moon.
yes i can see what you mean but there is no food walter and electricity and houses so we may no be able to sleep or do anything.

On the one hand, if we go to mars we will have to wear space helmets because we have no oxygen so we may not be up there for a while. On the other hand we will have no way of getting up there because we will have to pay lots and lots of money. By the time you get there you will most likely be dead. the moon on the other hand, is not cheap to live at . up there because there is no food water and electricity. water houses so potentially we are all going to die .

I think we should go to Mars instead of the Moon. I feel that we have already researched an ample amount about the Moon. Focusing our research efforts on Mars will allow us to find more resources. Scientists state that Mars could be the next 'potential Earth'. If this assumption is accurate then I believe it is worth exploring. Mars would be the ideal planet to do further research about as it is the most similar planet to Earth. Furthermore, in 2025 four astronauts will land on Mars and every 2 years another team of 4 will make their way to Mars. This would allow us to discover more about the life on Mars and whether it can provide a possible habitable environment for humans in the future.

Personally, I don't actually think that the world will just not be there. Yes, eventually the sun will blow up and potentially form a black hole (which would end the world) but the world itself would never end. Except for if we destroyed it yourself, but my point is that the world would not just end. We could go to mars if anything happened to our planet but isn't that just a bit to much effort?

I think we should go to mars so there are more planets humans know about and mars can be a emergency planet if earth heats up. As the moon we know can be a emergency place to go to.
11 Dec 2019
why can't we just go to both the moon and mars you don't have to go to just one we can go to both

Moon has been to a lot so if we test Mars and get the green light than Mars if not then the moon

Although watching lots of movies of the fact that astronauts have been to Mars it is hard to believe that humans have not yet conquered Mars which is a very big milestone. NASA have a lot to work on if they are going to send a human to Mars because the astronaut may feel isolated in the fact that he/she is leaving is to go into orbit and see if they can go to Mars and find out many things to send back to earth so they could do further research. As we have already conquered the moon several times it is not as important as humans discovering Mars because research on the moon is done.

Although we have traveled to the Moon before we could still have a advantage because we can collect Moon rock and dust. But we have never explored Mars before and new research could be found as well. Although Mars is new the Moon's rock or dust could be used for further research or experimental purposes. Mars is very cold though so human activity or a type of creature from our planet may not survive that climate because we've never experienced that level of coldness before. Also we've never seen or experienced any of the creatures or life that live on Mars and don't even know what research we will find there may be nothing to help scientists for there research on Mars or experiments on it. So therefore I believe that the Moon is a better place to live on because we know whats there and it's less dangerous.
You’re speaking up for the importance of the moon! Do you think this is why NASA wants to go back there by 2024?

Well yes because the Moon probably has more resources to collect and by that time [2024] and there will be more types of resource to collect and new discoveries to make. Also they could find aliens for the first time.

We need to take into consideration that Mars dust sticks to every thing meaning that If a mini Mars wind storm comes it could easily destroy the habitat, and we need to make a moon base first to make the journey to mars easier, then the problem, with Mars the Mars dust might make the rockets unable to work because it could get into the thrusters of the rocket so no coming back but let's say all this was solved it would make a good place to launch rockets for asteroid mining and a secondary home planet so we can move there however we will not say are planet is important and we will destroy the wildlife in. conclusion it is a terrible idea but also good (some)

I think we should look at going to Mars because we are unsure of what secrets it holds and could be the perfect home whearas we already know loads about the moon and don't need to expand our knowledge on it.
13 Dec 2019
I think we should focus on mars as we have already visited the moon multiple times before but I think we should focus more on climate change more than any of the planets, including mars. I think this because we need to turn our ettention to our planet instead of others
13 Dec 2019
I agree with you skillful_turtle because we should focus on mars and also we should explore it
13 Dec 2019
I think we should send astronauts to the Moon and then Mars as we could set up a Moon Base. We could use this as a head-start to discovering the rest of the solar system as the gravity on the Moon is less than earth so we wouldn't need as much fuel to get off the ground, therefore we could carry more payload. Scientists estimate it will cost as about as much as the ISS. This might sound expensive but it will grant a huge advantage. This could be the first step to discovering the solar system in its entirety.
13 Dec 2019
We should focus on mars because we have all ready went to the moon
13 Dec 2019
i think that we should go to mars because we already have went to the moon lots of times and it is intresting to know the secrets mars will hold for us.Also that mars have diferent materials to the moon and find the mysterys about mars

I think we should not go to mars because we do not have the technology to go there.On average, the temperature on Mars is about minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 60 degrees Celsius). In winter, near the poles temperatures can get down to minus 195 degrees F (minus 125 degrees C).As you can see mars can get pretty cold and it also takes 150-300 days but it depends on how much fuel people are willing to take more fuel that is been spent shorter journey were if you spend less fuel then longer journey.It also could take up to 250 million or more.So therefore i believe we should not go to mars and espandon on are knowledge on the moon.
13 Dec 2019
im not sure i think Mars because it could be possible to get there in a couple decades to get the knowledge to get there but then again i think moon because people already got there so we know it is basically safe to go there even though Mars will be mower exiting to go moon is closer and safer for what we know
16 Dec 2019
I think it is both because if we went to the moon, and something went wrong, there would be more chance of you getting back to Earth, then there would if you were on Mars. I also think we should go to Mars because we haven't been there, and it would be quite interesting to and look at.
