News of water being available on the Planet Mars has excited the world. From all the photographs sent from Mars’s robotic and reconnaissance missions it was felt for years that the finger like and stream like patterns observed on rocky surfaces one day would lead to a conclusive evidence.
This would mean that there could be life in the form of micro organisms which stirs up scientific emotions to the fact that man can inhabit Mars albeit the composition of gases or the gravity or atmosphere. That life can be inhabited under a whole set of parameters different than those on Earth is something to contemplate.
So who can inhabit. Definitely Americans first! Their knowledge of space today and the financial strength they have has no second opinion. Russia in the decades gone by were good but since they have lagged behind on the monetary front there is a huge gap between the two although the European Union is not far behind Russia. China need to cover a lot of ground and Japan, India and the lowly South Korea are there too. India has had a good mission to Mars and their future plans with exceedingly economic missions are good in the hunt.
Although everyone is unitedly looking at all space missions in a friendly manner and helping each other in developing technologies we don’t believe the scenario would remain the same it is today. 20/30 years hence when enough number of missions have taken place and humans are ready to move to Mars what would the political situation be like. If we look at history and the coming years of peace keeping measures it looks relevant that America, European Union and Japan to align on one side with Russia and China differing on matters and again a cold war like situation arising. India would be neutral and South Korea may go with America and Co.
We know it won’t be so easy for an entire country to shift to Mars but then taking peace keeping measures will be another view point. How many people can travel 9 months under pressurised conditions and shift to Mars. May be we develop better space saucers to travel.
What will happen to all the history or religious texts is something to ponder. And this is logic as we all know!
