For any years, many scientists have been studying planets, particularly mars, hoping to find another planet where humans could possibly live and thrive in aside from earth. As of now, they are looking into Mars. Mars is basically a backup planet if something suddenly goes wrong such as possible asteroids hitting us and possibly wiping out the whole human population or even explosions and other natural causes that can significantly be detrimental to the point where everyone would have to navigate to a whole different planet.
Although they are looking to possible changing the atmospheres and maneuvering other things to make it possible for life to happen in Mars. Right now, as the future moves on, the atmosphere and pollution problems had improved mostly because of the shelter in place due to the pandemic, however, what happens when we are out of this. Things would continue moving as it did before, with millions of people driving. Even if humans have caused an increase in pollution and global warming, it will always be with better than Mars. Adding on to the debate whether or not it is ethical, it would be ethical if the whole population was in danger and moving to mars would save everyone’s lives, but we are not fully sure when or how much impact the asteroid or future disasters could bring. I am not saying to not be worried, because what scientist are doing is preparing us if disaster strikes. However, all I am saying is that we should not give our full trust into possibly having actual life in Mars. The worst of earth could possibly be better than the best of mars.
Maybe moving to mars would actually happen if scientists and other experts find a way to permanently change the atmosphere or get it to the conditions like earth sow would be able to live comfortable, but in the mean time we should get earth back to the way it was before or at least try to by reducing pollution and stop doing things that increases global warming. We could also limit plastic use. All these ways could improve earth little by little.
