Living on Mars
Would you like to go into space? How would you feel.
looking back at Earth? It would be amazing wouldn't it?
But how would you feel if you had to stay up there?
Believe it or not, a Dutch organisation is planning to send
humans to live on the planet Mars!
The purpose of the Mars One project is to build a
small village on Mars where people can live.
Thousands applied for a place on the mission, but only
24 people can go on the first spacecraft. However,
before they leave there is a lot of work to do.
The astronauts have to train very hard for their
mission and study science, technology and medicine.
Mars One is
also going to
send a rover in 2018
to test some of the
technology the astronauts will use. Then, in 2020,
another rover will land on Mars. Its job is to find a good
place for the humans to build their village. In 2022. six
spacecraft will travel to Mars carrying everything the
astronauts will need to live on Mars, including a
machine to produce water and make the air safe to
breathe. Two years later, the astronauts will land and
their adventure will begin!
