Introduction
Have you ever bored of living in a crowded
city? A new world in outer space will be
the best choice instead! Colonizing outer
space is the solution of solving many
problem such as crowded, environment
problem, and low productivity of food. In
our solar system, there is many planets
and moons. However, most of them is not
suitable for living, they are either too far
or they have bad environment. This leave
us only two choice, Mars or Moon.

Our Argument
Mars is the better place to colonize because of the
following three reasons:
• Mars had an atmosphere that contain elements
that human need to survive.
2. Mars have a temperature that is suitable to
survive.
3. Mars have water ice which is crucial for the
survival of life.

Point 1
Firstly, Mars had an atmosphere that
contain elements that human need to
survive
Not like Moon, Mars have a
atmosphere that human can really
survive in.
Mars atmosphere is rich in carbon,
nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen,
which are all the basic need to
make human survive.

Point 2
Secondly, Mars have a
temperature that is suitable
to survive
The average temperature of Mars is -53
degree. But the temperature is 27
degree at the equator during midday,
which is suitable for human to survive.
The temperature on Mars allow the
growth of some species of plants.We can
make the colony self-sustainable by
growing cold-resisting crops and live
their for a long period of time.

Point 3
Mars have water ice which
is crucial for the survival of
life.
In the south pole of Mars,
there are a huge amount of Ice on Mars
water ice. We all know in
order to survive, human
need water.

Conclusion
It is better to colonize Mars than Moon. That
is because Mars had an atmosphere that
contain elements that human need to
survive, Mars have a temperature that is
suitable to survive, Mars have water ice
which is crucial for the survival of life.
Therefore, colonizing Mars is better than
colonizing Moon.
