14 Millions of scientists have pondered the sheer possibility of leaving the Earth. The centre of humanity for time as we know it has been the Earth, but it has fast dissipated in recent years. Global warming. Protests. You name it. This mighty planet is slowly becoming weaker for humanity to inhabit, and so humanity is looking for a new start. They think the answer to that is Mars. But is it really? SpaceX over recent years have initiated a project to get man on Mars by an ambitious year of 2050.Whilst that may seem to be in the distant future, it seems unrealistic to even dream of stepping foot and inhabiting a planet which is over 150 million kilometres away from us. And yet, Elon Musk stands by his word even today. Yet, let’s look at the statistics. The pictures you see of Mars with futuristic bubbles and space cities where one can easily hop on a spaceship at one’s leisure to any other moon as a ‘summer holiday’ is simply the smokescreen slapped onto adverts which promise humanity a bright future.What Mars really is is a dust cloud, covered in toxic gases, too far from the sun, and on top of that, we can only work with one-third gravity. So, sounds impossible right? If not, why not try and get there just to find out? Why will we never make it to Mars?
