Mission to mars

This week I have been reading and learning about the mission to mars witch is supposed to happen in the year 2025. There will be a group of people that will travel to mars but they won't be coming back. That is right they will be going there to die, Mr Wood asked us all a question it was do you think we should go to mars or not. I was puzzled I thought at first that we should not go to mars, but then i realised that it would be a great opportunity for us all. If we could colonise another planet and let more and more people go there we would solve a lot of problems with Earth but have new problems with mars so what do you think?
