It's
no secret that humans have a long way to go before we can even think about
exploring other planets. But why is going to Mars so difficult? What are the
challenges? And what if you're already there...what can you do?

There are a lot of challenges
when it comes to getting to Mars, but that's why we're here! Here are some of
the biggest challenges:
There is a lot to discover in
the universe. But - Mars is the one most people are curious about! So, we've
summed up some cool facts you need to know before you step foot on it.
Here are few reasons
because of which it's difficult to go to Mars
1. Mars is far away
Mars is a long way away. A trip
to Mars would take a lot of time and money. It's not like you can hop on a
plane and go there. You'd need to build spaceships that can travel through
space, which takes years.
Then you'd have to get your
astronauts to the planet safely. Once they got there, you'd have to figure out
how to get them back home again. If something goes wrong, they're stuck on Mars
for good!
The chance to live on Mars is a
rare one. If you really want to be one of these people, you have to be ready
for a pretty long journey. The trip to Mars is going to take between 7 and 8
months (roughly 607 days). This is a very long time when you think about it.
Your survival is in your hands. You have to make sure that you are prepared
physically, mentally, and scientifically because if anything happens, you're
stuck on Mars for good!
2. There are radiation hazards
Radiation is a major concern
for astronauts on the Red Planet. Mars is an incredibly hostile environment,
with temperatures ranging from -196° to +120° Fahrenheit, high pressure, and
little or no air. The Martian atmosphere is about 95% carbon dioxide, which
traps heat at night and radiates it away during the day.
The radiation that does reach
the surface can be deadly if not shielded from by thick layers of soil and
rock. The radiation levels at the surface are roughly equivalent to what you'd
experience in a plane flight over Europe. This makes it difficult to build
structures without exposing astronauts to high levels of radiation, which could
have long-term effects on their health.
Playing up the wonders of Mars
and its strange properties, the sentence clearly highlights the threats that
await both humans and machines at the Red Planet.
3. Mars has a weak atmosphere
Mars has a weak atmosphere,
making it difficult for life to exist there.
This is a problem for two
reasons: first, because a planet's atmosphere is a major factor in determining
whether life can exist there; and second, because Mars is the only planet in
our solar system that has been imaged by spacecraft. If we're going to send
humans to Mars, it's important that we know what conditions are like there —
otherwise, we'll just have people who are extremely uncomfortable.
The atmosphere on Mars is
fairly thin — only one-third as thick as Earth's — and contains very little water
vapor or carbon dioxide (it doesn't get enough sunlight). It also lacks
nitrogen because it doesn't have an asteroid belt with lots of
nitrogen-containing rock in it. This means that whatever organisms might be
found on Earth would have to evolve very quickly if they were ever going to
survive on Mars.
Because of this, scientists
think that if you went to Mars today and looked around with your naked eye
(without a telescope), you'd see nothing but dust particles suspended in the
air (and probably some clouds). The third rock from the sun (after Earth and
Venus) doesn't have an atmosphere of its own, either; instead, all its
"atmosphere
4.The gravity is different
The gravity on Mars is 0.38 of
that on Earth, which means that it's easier to do things like lift heavy
objects or run. However, there are other issues with living on Mars. For one
thing, the temperature can vary from -120 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to
+200 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. Also, Mars has no atmosphere to protect
us from cosmic radiation or space junk.
Both these factors mean that
living on Mars will be hard for humans. The lack of gravity and low atmospheric
pressure would make it difficult for people to breathe, and there's no
protection from radiation outside our bubble of air.
It takes a long time to get there
A trip to Mars takes around 8
months, which is about one-fifth of the time it takes to get from here to here.
In the 1950s, when space travel was still in its infancy, people thought that
once we got there and started exploring, we'd have our own back yard pretty
quickly. But it turned out that wasn't true. We've been trying for decades to
go to Mars and we still haven't managed it.
The reason why there's so much
difficulty getting to Mars is because of the distance involved. It takes a long
time to get there, but once you are there it's not very big or interesting
either. You could describe the Earth as being huge but also tiny; or you could
describe your house as being small but also huge. But neither description really
makes sense; both are equally meaningless since they're completely
indeterminate. The only way to describe something like this is by using an
adjective that sums up both concepts: vast and small at once; huge and tiny at
once; etcetera...
Conclusion:
It's true that there's no easy
solution to the problem of sending humans to Mars, and it's going to take a lot
of ingenuity and planning from our side. However, I know of no better
motivation than mankind's desire to explore—whether it be for scientific, personal,
or economic reasons. We're explorers by nature, and we will find a way to Mars
one day if it kills us.
