A popular trend in today’s society is the constant search for new information. In this case, the new information is pertaining to Mars. For the past 10 years, researchers and the population of Earth have been intrigued with the thought of going to Mars and possibly living on the red planet. In addition, exploring Mars as a possible habitat has sparked a significant amount of controversy in today’s culture. Contrary to what many believe, exploring Mars for research purposes and a potential environment is not the solution to today’s evident issues. Exploration of Mars and sending individuals to Mars should not be pursued in today’s society because of high cost, human dangers, and environmental dangers, all of which prove few or no benefits due to the recoverable environment of Earth, and the unattainable colonization of Mars.
