First Colony on Mars

You may have heard about Elon Musk's new project. He’s planning to send the first group of people on Mars and create a first colony. This project is both dangerous and very opportunistic. What do you think about it?

  1. Hello,
    first of all, I indeed heard about Elon Musk's project. In my humble opinion, this project seems a bit optimistic and too dangerous actually. I think that we don't have the technological resources to do it, we only send some robots on Mars and no human being went there. This project will probably occur, but in some decades, now, it's impossible. Also, I think that even if we can do it, not a lot of people will do it: the travel will last for a very long time, the distance between Mars and the Earth is about 76 000 000 Km, it's incredible. Not a lot of astronauts will accept this mission I think.

  2. Hello,
    I have to agree with Bilel, the mission is far too dangerous given the technological resources and knowledge about Mars we currently possess. I believe that we will be able to launch such a perilous project once we understand more about Mars itself and more about the dangers of the trip. We don't know what will happen to the human mind once the Earth is out of sight or how it would react to the extremely long journey. And I personally think that anyone willing to go on such a mission now is out of their right mind.

  3. Hi,
    Well, yes, I’ve heard about Elon Musk’s project to send humans to planet Mars in 2024. And we all know that this mission looks infeasible for health and economic reasons; it also requires some huge technical resources. However, Elon Musk showed us in the past that he was capable of creating crazy futuristic stuff that are now used every day. That indeed proves his ability to make the impossible possible. It is with that kind of mad projects that humanity will improve in a good way.

  4. Hello,

    I think , this is a project that could really help us if our planet continues to be so polluted and damaged.
    And it would not be impossible and it would be a project used as a "last resort".
    But on the other hand I think it would really be a project at risk and it looks scary because taking a trip in space is not without risk and live on a planet where no human has ever lived ...
    We can not know all that could happen.
    So for my part if we had the choice I would prefer to stay on Earth, at my peril.

  6. Hello,

    Elon Musk's project is a good idea to go further in humanity's great project, which is the colonization of space.
    But to consider such an early space travel is, in my opinion, too presumptuous. Despite major advances in this sector, problems such as: fuel, travel time, uncertainty about the survival of the rocket crew, and the important cost remain.

    Indeed the biggest problem is that it might be very complicated to find (crazy) volunteers to make such an ambitious trip.

    But fortunately for humanity, in a few years, I will be a great aerospace engineer and I will resolve all these problems.

    More seriously, I think we'll be able to go to other planets but not at the moment.

    Thank you for reading and good bye

  7. Hello,
    to start with, we all know that our Earth is in danger due to the global warming. Even though we could still save the planet, there are too many people who don't care about it. Elon Musk wants to colonise Mars and then maybe other planets. If it works it could be the solution of our problems.
    First, a lot of people could leave Earth for Mars so there would be less people on our planet and less pollution. Therefore, it would maintain or lower Earth's climate.
    Moreover, it would be helpful if we can't live on our planet anymore because we would have another planet to live on.
    To conclude, in my opinion Elon Musk's project is a good idea because it would be a valuable solution to all the climate problems we are fighting for.

  8. Hello,
    I think this project is very interesting, perhaps even the most interesting for a very long time. Overconsumption and pollution are slowly destroying our planet. Elon Musk is a mad inventor who wants to do everything that seems impossible. Even though the project is dangerous and still at the beginning of its design, I think that thanks to innovation this kind of project that look unrealistic can succeed. In addition, I see a similarity between this project and the space race between the United States and the USSR during the Cold War, because these two countries have braved all risks and have developed rockets and satellites that are always more efficient. There have been many fatal accidents but innovation has continued and I think these sacrifices have served a great and noble cause.

  9. Hello,
    Indeed, I've heard about Elon Musk's project. When you learn some things about this person, you realize that all his projects are impressive, and you don't understand how he will manage to accomplish them. Moreover, it seems that his employees are dedicated to him so they're all serious. So I think that with research and work we will be able to live on Mars. I also think that we have to try to colonize this planet because in a few years, we won't be able to live on Earth because of global warming, polution, etc,...

  10. Hello,
    In my opinion, of course, this project is very risky, because it will be the first attempt to send a group of people to Mars, but if this project succeeds, it will be a great news for all humanity. Mars, because of the water that has been found on its surface, could be an alternative planet to Earth and we know that if global warming does not stop, our planet could no longer be habitable. The existence of an alternative planet would then be a very good discovery. To conclude, even if this projects looks dangerous and optimistic, I believe that we need to hope that this kind of project will be a success.

  11. Hello,
    First of all I think Elon Musk is a genius, I loved all of his projects and ideas.
    Our planet is dying and I think it is very important to find a solution because there is a time or we won't be able to survive on earth. We need to know if we are able to survive on Mars. It's a dangerous project because people are going to die and won't be able to come back so if he finds people that are ready to take the risk then I think we should try it

  12. Hello, first of all this project is very risky for the life of the people who will be sent to Mars. This is not the first person to think about this project. This idea has been used in different movies and series but Elon Musk seems to be the most serious person to do this project.
    Then, everyone knows that global warming is a major problem for our planet, if this project works it will probably be the biggest news ever announced to preserve the human species and the planet Earth have an alternative planet. Finally I am for this project to preserve the human species, send a group of human being sentenced to prison to perpetuate or sentenced to death would be a good idea.

  13. Hello,
    First of all, for me this project is very risky, because many scientists have stated, after several experiences that it is impossible to live in Mars. Many operations, with robot were lead, and the life on Mars is very dangerous but it's the best planet to live after the Earth because Mars has a large amount of water, so it's a very complicated choice.
    Then, our planet is very affected by the global warning so the Elon Musk's new project, can be a good idea to save the humanity.
    Maybe, in fifty years, our children will live on Mars...

  14. Hello everyone,

    In my opinion this project is really interesting : First of all, it may be useful in the future because the damages we are doing to our planet may be irreversible and could forced us to find somewhere else to live if humanity wants to survive. Then having access to the resources of Mars could help human science to progress. Moreover, being able to go on Mars would be a real advancement that could extend our ability to go further into our galaxy. However there is also many downsides to this project. To begin with, sending humans on Mars would cost a lot of money, that could be spend on other things such as environmental protection or human development. Then, if humans were able to make it to Mars, it would cost even more money to send them supplies that they won't find on Mars such as water.

    1. I made some mistakes :
      - the damages we are causing
      - could force
      - There are many
