About the Mars One Project

< What is Mars One Project?>

 Have you seen the movie ‘Interstellar’? I remember that I watched it very interestingly. The story of Interstellar is that the humanity is trying to find a new planet to live instead of the Earth which is desolated by food deprivation and polluted air. We all know that we cannot live in the Earth for eternally. Some time at the future, we must get out of where we live today. Mars One Project is the first try of humanity to settle in outer space.

 Mars One Project first suggested by Bas Lansdrop, the entrepreneur of Netherland. With his co-worker, Arno Wielders, Bas Lansdrop set up the foundation in 2011 to begin this project. They discussed the possibility and technological validity with several aerospace agencies and experts. After that, they completed to draw the road map for this enormous plan.

 This infographic shows the total road map of Mars One Project. First, they plan to put the amount of water and food. Then, Rover, the robot that will sent to the Mars, will investigate the place where condition is optimum for human surviving. Rover will also build the base camp before humans come to Mars, so that people can come to Mars and live. About 2022, the first ‘Martians’ will be sent to the Mars, arriving there after 6 months. In 2025, more settlers will arrive at Mars and make a new society. Mars One Project will last over and over after all steps are finished, by continuing all these steps as additional crew land every two years.

 In February 17^th, 2015, Mars One selected 100 nominees of Martians. They are composed with 50 men and 50 women, and various aged from 20s to 60s. 39 of them came from America, 31 from Europe, 16 from Asia, and each 7 from Africa and Oceania. After several training in the area that is similar to the Mars. Then, Mars One plans to select 24 final nominees as a settler of Mars.

<What can we get from Mars One Project>

 Mars One Project can provide us some advantages. First, we can solve overflowing population problems by pioneering new lands in the Mars. Second, we can use the astronomical amount of resources stored in Mars. Scientists anticipate that various kinds of resources that are significant to the human are buried in the Mars. Lastly, human can use the Mars as a great place to study space. The Mars is pretty different to the Earth, so the experiments and researches in the Mars can give us the chance to develop science knowledge and technology.

 

 

<Problem of Mars One Project>

 Nevertheless of these advantages of pioneer Mars, there are several problems of this project. First, the selected nominees sent to the Mars are not allowed to come back to the Earth forever. This could be a severe abuse of human right. So, many human right groups are opposing to Mars One Project. Second, our technologies are so far to pioneer the Mars yet. Although Mars One insists that they have enough technologies to do the project, many experts evaluate that human are lack of technologies to settle in outer space. This means, if the project failed and serious problems such as polluting of the Mars occurred, we have no idea to handle those problems. Lastly, the foundation still has not enough money to continue this project. Last year, Landrop declared the delay of Mars One project due to the financial problems. Can they collect enough money to complete this project in right time?

 

 

<My Opinion about Mars One Project>

 In My opinion, the advantages of Mars One Project are bigger than the problems, and this project must be continued until it successfully completed. Now, I will express several reasons why I agree to this project. First of all, the Mars must be pioneered someday. We cannot just give up discovering outer space. Even it requires us sacrifice, we must do that as a human. Secondary, we can have tremendous resources from the Mars. As mentioned, there are super immense amount of metals and energy resources. If we discover the Mars, we could find even more resources. These resources from the Mars will become the engine to the development of economy and human society. Third, about the human right abusing issue, nominees for the project already agreed to admit the risks they will confront during project. It means, they know there will be hardships and they promised not to regard it as right abusing. So, I think that the human right abusing problems cannot be stand in this case. Lastly, lack of technology will be solved during the project is processing, because human will continue to discover more and more technologies.

 My recommendation about this topic is that we must have an interests and positive considerations toward discovering the Mars. Of course, it is quite difficult to us to do something for this topic, because we are not scientists or astronauts. However, if we get a continuous interest and support this, it will help humanity to discover the unknown world and to be developed.

(1 Topic 2 Purposes, Topic: Ramen)Ramen intaking must be regulated (Evaluative)

 Most people know that ramen is unhealthy food because its salt and fat.
However, so many people eat ramen so often that ramen can harm their health seriously.
The materials that make ramen unhealthy is sodium and saturated fat.
 According to the research of Korea Consumer Agency(KCA), so much sodium and saturated fat
were included in ramen. Averagely, 51.3% saturated fat and 86.5% sodium of daily nutrition standard
were contained in just one pack of ramen. While daily nutrition standard sets 2000mg sodium
and 15g saturated fat as daily limit of intake, average 1729mg sodium and 7.7g saturated fat were
contained in one pack. This means, if somone intake more than two packs of ramen in one day,
his health can seriously damaged by ramen. KCA says that ramen manufacturing companies must
reduce the amount of sodium and sturated fat, and use more unsaturated fat.
 I think what KCA said is necessary, but it is not realistic because companies will not follow
this advice. If they reduce the amount of sodium and saturated fat as KCA advised, their ramens
will become less tasty, which will lead to decrease of consumers. Rather, I think consumers must
control their intakes. Although ramen has so much sodium and saturated fat, it will not a problem
if we eat ramen less than before.
