Discovering possible ways to reach Mars and finding some sort of life up there has been a subject of constant and in-depth research for scientists. Various missions, independent and sponsored are figuring ways to reach the outer space and probably stay there. So far, astronauts only have had the opportunities to experience the outer world. There are still no traces of life forms right now on Mars, but when retired NASA astronaut posed a question to visit the red planet, people were interested to know more. Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin is the second man who has been on the moon. NASA Finds Evidence of Life on Mars, Know Everything About The Big Discovery by Curiosity Rover.
Aldrin put up a poll on Twitter about visiting the red planet with a comparison to Pilgrims leaving England for America. He described this as a one-way journey to the unknown. Now Twitterati is always known to give diverse reactions. While some actively looked up to the journey into the unknown as a great challenge, others were not at all happy with the comparison.
Check Buzz Aldrin's poll on Twitter about the trip to Mars:
Pilgrims coming to American on the Mayflower didn't plan on a return trip. Would you agree to move to Mars with no expectation of coming back to Earth?
— Buzz Aldrin (@TheRealBuzz) June 19, 2018
Close to 50% of the people straightaway denied the trip while 33% would instantly agree. Check out some of the reactions:
Take me away!

We have a lot to prepare
We need to become a multi planetary species, with space colonies...or we'll end up like the dinosaurs eventually. We need space pioneers, like the Pilgrims, who are prepared to endure the initial hardships of Mars, in order to prepare the way for many more of us to follow. 🚀✨

There's always someone who people would like to send
Buzz. It would be truly wonderful if you could arrange a one way ticket for Donald Trump

When the politics is so bad that you'd rather go to Mars!
Where do I sign up for a one way trip? I don't know if I can take anymore of these politicians. If I ever come back to Earth it would probably be looking like Mars itself.

The Earth lovers will not go anywhere
Dude why we have to leave our beautiful earth on the first place. Shit, I don't even understand why people are crazy about going on mars. Our wars on Earth has yet to be solved and people wanna spread wars and hate on different planets too. SAD!

Sorry to be a downer Buzz but, compared to Earth, Mars looks properly shit. It's a dust bowl. Our skeletal and respiratory systems evolved to Earth's gravity and atmosphere so Mars would mess us up. And I like being able to take a walk without a suit on to stop me from dying.

If you are keen about the red planet then at least you can observe it closely in the next month, in the Mars' Opposition. But what would be your reaction to the question posed above? Would you like to take an unpredictable journey to the red planet or are you happy on Earth as it is? Do let us know your views in the comments section.
