= 30 SECONDS TO MARS =

There is great debate at the moment over the question of sending a manned flight to Mars. What do you think? Look at both sides of the argument and tell me what you believe should be done. You will need to research how it can be done. How much will it cost? Could that money be used on other things on our own planet. Do we have the current technology to send humans to Mars? What additional technology needs to be invented? Present your point of view on your class blog. 6S 6T 6U 6V 6W 6X 6Y 6Z Assessment Rubric: [|SpacePersuasiveWritingRubric.docx]
