Topic Reading-Vol.1655-10/22/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Goodbye, Earth: 'We're going to live on Mars in 2027'
A ticket to Mars. It is a planet that attracts many people. Though it is earth’s neighbor planet, a trip to reach the planet takes several months at least and costs millions per traveler just for one-way, and no roundtrip ticket seems to be available at least for a while. The traveler, or better to say the settler in Mars, must spend the entire time with three other travelers for the entire time until another flight arrives two years later. What seems to be important is not only physical health but also teamwork to live and work together for the rest of their lives
Does it sound attractive to you? If you’re interested in settling in the red planet, you may want to start saving money for the trip.
But one question still remains. Why not the Moon but Mars? NASA succeeded in making 10 manned roundtrip missions to the Moon including six landings nearly a half century ago but no commercial trips has been organized or launched yet. A trip to the Moon seems far less risky and demanding. And most importantly, you can choose whether just to visit or live in there for a short time or forever.
Enjoy reading and thinking if you’re interested in living in a place where there is no natural air, sound or water.
