NASA-THE JOURENY TO MARS PLANET:
“The United States is justified in spending billions of dollars on NASA space missions to Mars.”
Throughout the course of history, man has dreamed of stepping foot on another planet. The advances in technology in the 20th century have allowed man to do what at one time was considered unthinkable for millenniums before. With the advent of the modern space program in the early 1950’s, NASA has performed many inconceivable feats. They have sent and returned men to space. They’ve set up space stations orbiting the earth. They have allowed men to land on the moon, collect samples, and then return to the earth.

Recently, NASA has taken an even greater interest in Mars. With the discovery of ice on Mars, and with further discoveries of ancient bacteria on a couple of rocks in Antarctica that are believed to be meteorites from the planet Mars, scientist have speculated that life originated on Mars millions of years before it ever appeared on the earth. Many scientist believe that much can be learned from the finding of life – or evidence of previous life – on the planet Mars. Many of these scientists think that missions to Mars can find out if there truly was life there, and why it disappeared. Perhaps this can lead us to understand how life will one day disappear from our planet, or even maybe, prevent that from occurring.
Many critics have pointed to recent failures from NASA space missions to the planet Mars as reasons to abandon attempts to further send space probes. These missions cost millions of dollars, and they resulted in disaster. For instance, one spacecraft was sent to land on Mars, and, as it approached the planet after its six-month trip through space, was suddenly unreachable. After a commission was formed to study what went wrong, they discovered that some engineers forgot to convert some measurements
