A MISSION TO MARS
Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there
is an actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known as
the Mars One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to colonize Mars. Those
chosen people will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip.
For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be
living the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that allow
them to get along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, so they will have
to deal with that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people
back on the earth via e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-
time communication. Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20
minutes.
Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are
asking. There is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and Wired magazine gave the mission a
miserable score of two out of ten on its probability scale. However, for those who dream to go to Mars, at
least they can say there is a possibility that it could happen.
