Why is going to Mars so important?

Firstly welcome to Mylot. My father watches these types of programs all the time on Sky, it fascinates him. My theory is that Earth will not always be around and us humans will need another planet to call home, so we need to start looking for inhabitable planets. I believe one day that Earth will be wiped out either by the sun or by a freak asteroid, whether it's in a hundred years or a thousand scientists don't know. There has got to be life out there, we can't only be the only race in the galaxy. Or maybe we are still too prehistoric for other life forms to get in contact with us. There is life out there, somewhere, and hopefully one day a planet humans can settle on.

I think it is interesting to visit Mars because is similar to earth in terms of size. Who knows maybe in a few hundred years humans will live there. Probably after the earth is done for. I am really more interested in all those planets that keep getting discovered that orbit other stars. Would be amazing if life was discovered in one of them.

Since the Mars is a planet which is the most similar with the earth we can find so far. So going to Mars seems to be so important. As the scientists can do some research there and see whether it can be another earth and let the human beings live there. Our population has been increasing and the resource, energy etc. will be run out one day. We need to find a backup planet.

Going to Mars is necessary in order for the scientist to study the planet. There are still many unknown and unanswered questions among scientific community regarding all the planets in our solar system, may be by exploring Mars can provide slight glimpses to those unanswered questions for the researchers and scholars of space science study. They may have discover new materials; mineral or even rock element in the red planet which had never exist on earth. The rock and dirt study can tell the scientist the red planet past and its history in a way a lay man can't understand.

It's science. For me, it's more than rocks. It's discovering what's surrounding us... I think it's one of the best traits of the human kind: to be eager to learn, even if that we learn isn't really cool or exciting.

Our scientists are always in search of or to find a planet that closely resembles earth and make life possible as in earth. So they are behind Mars which is one of the closest and they even sent a Robot to examine conditions and to take photos over there . They found some masses of water over there. To be simple mars ia an option if earth diminishes as in a movie lol
