I mean, who would actually want to go to Mars? What's the point? It is a burning ball of mass! Ok scientist people! There was never life on Mars! How could there be when it is BURNING! and plus..oops..not supossed to talk about"religious" stuff even though it isn't religion. I mean why would ANYONE want to go into SPACE! wouldn't that be scary? So people...you can comment! :joke:
 
Um, it's not burning, it's actually very cold (it's further from the sun than we are). I, myself, have no desire to go into space, but those with a real sense of adventure might (my husband would love to go there, and had wanted to be an astronaut so badly when he was a kid!) Consider it an unexplored territory...people have always explored the unknown, and always will.
 
ok..then why did I learn that Mars was BURNING?!?!! hmm...oh well..I would never want to go..cause the rockets blow up a lot but that's just my opinion:D

Maybe you assumed it was because it is red. You could try to learn a bit more about the science behind it, rather than cowering behind fears with no scientific basis.
 
lol...I'm not afraid of mars(ugggg..I hate this stupid rule but I will abide by it). but I have learned enought about for me. I'm NOT trying to sound uppity or anything:) sorry if it sounds that way.
 
I didn't mean you were afraid of Mars. What "stupid rule" are you abiding by? BTW, if you're not going into space because rockets "blow up a lot" I imagine you don't fly, because planes crash a lot. LOL!

yes. I have already sailed to and from america once on a boat. Someday I will conquer flying!

Back to the discussion on Mars...

Mars is worth exploring because it is the mostly likely planet in our solar system, after earth, to host living organisms. You can check out more science on Mars here:

Here's a little info from that page, on why man should go to Mars to explore:

Solving the Search for Life Question
The debate continues. Future missions to Mars will address the question of Life on Mars. In 2005, a Mars Sample Return mission will attempt to bring back likely candidate samples of minerals in which these kind of fossils would occur. If successful, and similar evidence is found, the critics will be silenced. However, it's a long-shot that a suitable sample can be found by a remote-controled rover. The best thing would be to have a trained field geologist with a rock hammer. A human explorer would offer on-site experience, better mobility (presumably he'd have his own rover to drive around in), and a much better chance of finding evidence for life. So, in the end, the best way to settle the debate is to send people to Mars. In the opinion of the Mars Society and many experts, this question alone is enough to justify a
Humans to Mars program.
