Why We Must Go To Mars: The Imperative for Human Exploration of the Red Planet

There are many benefits to Mars exploration, including:

• Scientific discovery: Mars is a unique planet that could potentially host life. Exploring Mars could help us to answer some of the biggest questions about our universe, such as whether or not there is life beyond Earth.
• Economic development: Mars exploration could create new jobs, boost economic growth, and lead to the development of new technologies.
• Human adventure: Mars exploration is a great adventure that would inspire people all over the world. It would also be a great way to learn more about ourselves and our place in the universe.

There are also some challenges to Mars exploration, including:

• Distance: Mars is a long way from Earth. It would take months to travel to Mars, and it would take even longer to return.
• Radiation: Mars is exposed to high levels of radiation. This radiation could pose a health risk to astronauts.
• Gravity: Mars has a lower gravity than Earth. This could lead to bone loss and muscle atrophy in astronauts.

Zubrin's plan for Mars exploration involves sending a series of robotic missions to the planet to prepare the way for human explorers. These missions would map the surface of Mars, search for water and other resources, and test out new technologies. Once the robotic missions have completed their work, Zubrin proposes sending a human mission to Mars in the 2030s.
