Why man explore mars the red planet?
Mars is the best planet in our solar system to study if other planets are capable of supporting life and by extension, human life. The exploration of the boundaries of our knowledge is one thing that makes us unique as a species, we have the capacity to dream, come up with goals, and attempt to reach them. The capacity, desire, and ability to better ourselves through the quest for knowledge is very human. In addition, it’s a goal that determines if one day, humanity will be able to reach out into the stars and colonize them. Mars is the best test of human ingenuity and achievement because it is close by, theoretically massive enough to have an atmosphere, may contain enough water to support life, is close enough to the Sun to recieve energy for warmth and life.
