Mars is back on the agenda.
Speaking at a joint meeting of the Congress in March, President Donald Trump said that the United States would “pursue our apparent destination in the stars, and the planet would launch US astronauts to stars and stars on Mars.”
What does this mean? The Charter Destiny is the belief that was widely spread in the United States, especially in the 1800s, that the US settlers had to extend the West throughout North America. Similarly, then, the Trump administration believes that settlement of Mars is the destiny of the Americans. And he wants his administration to take steps to fulfill this goal.

Should Mars that resolve the United States prefer?
But should we really do it?
I recently participated in a debate with Shannon Strown, a prominent science writer on the subject. Sponsored the debate Open for discussionAnd professional moderation by Emmy Award -winning journalist John Donwan. Spilller Alert: I discussed in favor of settlement. I hope you learned as much as I did.
