A MANNED FLIGHT TO MARS

   

  (1)The Martian Piloted Complex or "'MPK'" was a proposal by Mikhail Tikhonravov of the Soviet Union for a manned Mars expedition, using the (then proposed) N-1 rocket, in studies from 1956 to 1962.

Heavy Piloted Interplanetary Spacecraft (known by the Russian acronym TMK) was the designation of a Soviet Union space exploration proposal in the 1960s to send a manned flight to Mars and Venus (TMK-MAVR design) without landing. The TMK spacecraft was due to launch in 1971 and make a three-year long flight including a Mars fly-by at which time probes would have been dropped. The TMK project was planned as an answer from the Soviet Union to the United States manned moon landings. The project was never completed because the required N1 rocket never flew successfully.

 

The Mars Expeditionary Complex, or "'MEK"' (1969) was another Soviet proposal for a Mars expedition that would take a crew from three to six to Mars and back with a total mission duration of 630 days.

 Nowadays , our world is partially developed .During a long period of time , all kind of societies developed them in a way that was like better for them, and obviously they did it because they wanted to improved their lifes to make it more easily.There were some cultures that studied our univese, the plantes ,our solar system, etc..In our society, we realized that the principal countries in the world want to de the leader of all the worls.So they look for ways to achieve that goal and using less money. A clear example of this is a controversial topic called a manned flight to Mars.

A manned fligth to Mars could cost thounsands or maybe  millions of dollars .The thought of a trip to Mars many people consider it like exhilarating.For example  the cost of the adecuate machines to not alterate nothing during the trip or in Mars(the components of Mars) is  very very expensive. Another reason to not use this is that it will take too much time to put in action that, and if they do that they will just take care on the money to do it forgetting others needs in the city or country ,they will forget the people who live in that city.Although these reasons that are against to do it reality , there are which help it ;for example,if they do it ,they will have information to safe our planet ,because Earth is similar to Mars .The ESA developed a plan in which robbots will go to Mars by 2009, and after that a human will do to Mars by 2030.It is not a long period of time , because we are in 2012 and wait until 2030 is shorter than other plans.There is another way, is expensive it`s true!, but a country can separate the money one part for the citizens and the other to explore Mars, and if the exploration is good the gain that the city will have is bigger than the invesment .

I think that a manned flight to Mars is the best option to save our planet and know how we should take care of it.Mars is a primitive planet ,like the Land was, and we can learn more about our descent .The Mars Society said in its Founding Declaration,"As we begin the twenty-first century , we have evidence that we are changing the Earth`s atmosphere and enviroment in significants ways....Mars , the plant most like the Earth, will have even more to teach us about our home world.The knowledge we gain could be key to our survival."

It will give us national prideand obviously give us position as a leader in science and technology.China,Russia and the European Union have all announced plans that includes space especially moon and Mars.

To um up, i am in favor of a manned flight to Mars because it will give the key to save our home world, because day by day we are destroying the enviroment.It will us too the posibility to know more about our descent and be informed.Mars are like the Earth and if we know more about Mars . we are going to know more about our world.
