Colonizing Mars

Here is a plan words article that rehashes some of the subjects that Bernie has been talking about in class. Why should we colonize Mars? The author of this essay highlights points such as its similarity to earth, the possibility of bacterial life that might un-earth Earth's origin and profitability of developing Mars. There is just tons of land on Mars waiting for people to claim it. Like I said, this is a very basic outline, a lot of which Bernie mentioned in his lectures, but it was nice to see it all typed out.
