Colonization on Mars is approaching us faster than we thought it would. The variety of volcanoes and craters is good evidence of many ores on Mars such as copper, iron, nickel, and chromium. These ores would be very good to mine and send back to Earth. Mars also has traces of water and is a planet we could very well live on. The mars colonization project is only sending about 50 people on a one way trip. They are hoping to complete the mission in about 10 years from now. The idea of colonization on mars is coming true and before we know it we will be traveling to other solar systems. It's important that we start planning now for the generations to come because one day the world will come to an end and we need a plan to keep carrying on life. Colonization on Mars is just the first step to our future of space travel and discovering new solar systems. If we keep on trying and believe that we can do it over a few hundreds of years time, one day we will be able to achieve it. There was water on mars many years ago. Elon Musk is one of the many scientist. There are economic reasons for going to mars. Also many peoples curiosity is driving them too. It will improve longterm
