Should We Go Mars?

 Hey Guys 

Today I am going to be showing you my writing about if we should go and live In Mars and my writing is about why we shouldn't go instead of why we should go to Mars because I think that it is a bad idea to go to Mars and I have lots of good points that make me never wan't to go to Mars. But if you still wan't to go to Mars after this then I would be surprised.

Here is My writing 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why We Shouldn't Go To Mars 

I think that we should not live on Mars. Because of the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. How would you get food? You would need enough for 26 months! And water as well. And also it will be super hard to grow plants for food. These are my points that I am going to be telling you about. So continue reading and you will see the points. 

There is 95.3% of carbon dioxide on Mars so being out in the air for 2 minutes will take all of the carbon dioxide from your blood cells. That means in the two minutes time you will be dead so if you wanted to go outside you would need to be wearing a spacesuit.  Your shelter would need to have airlock doors so no carbon dioxide could get inside of the shelter.

You need food to survive. So how would you get the food? One person will need about 5 tons of food to last 26 months on mars and plants can’t grow there. First of all the plants will die because of all the carbon dioxide in the air and the plants would need water and there is only a little bit of water flow under all the ice caps. Otherwise just for two people you would need to bring on the rocket 10 tons of food just for two people. And don’t forget about the water you would need to bring enough water for 26 months and water is really heavy and you would need water to even try growing plants.

Dust Storms happen a lot on Mars. Because the whole planet is a big desert and their dust storms can last for 2 months. The dust storm can cover the whole planet so no way to escape fr that if it is covering the whole planet. So then  you would probably have to stay inside throughout the whole storm and that could be for 2 months.

The temperature is really cold on Mars so you would need to have your shelter really warm. Also how would you get electricity to heat the shelter? It would be hard to get electricity, a solution to that is if you used solar panels. But  the dust storm would make it hard to get power in the middle of the storm.  But the temperature can be -125 to -193 and that is super cold. I wouldn’t want to be in that temperature. And because of the freezing temperatures most of the water (if there was any) would freeze straight away so you would need to keep your water warm so it wouldn’t freeze.  

Overall it is a bad idea to go and live on  Mars because food would be hard to bring and it is almost impossible to grow food on planet Mars.  Water is really heavy and also hard to bring over to Mars and there is barely any water on the planet, only a little bit of water flow. And  Mars can get super cold also. Mars has lots of dust storms and they can last up to 2 months so I think people shouldn’t live on Mars.

I hope you liked my writing and considered that going to Mars is a bad idea
