Second Mars Debate

First Two Mars Debates

Believe it or not, there actually is a lot of debate going on around the idea of a mission to mars in "the real world." What do you think? In your Advisories, split into pro and con groups for each of the two questions. In those groups, brainstorm arguments for your position backed by what you find on Debatepedia and any other websites you find useful. After 20 minutes of research and discussion you should elect a scribe and put your opinions on paper. Once you've done all that, we'll reconvene in the boardroom for a discussion of the issues.

The Questions:

Red Team: Risks: Are the risks of a manned mission to Mars tolerable?

White Team: Is a manned mission to Mars feasible?

Grey Team: Would a manned mission to Mars be economical?

Blue Team: Does the public support a mission to Mars?
