This answer assumed that it's the former one. Honestly, I probably wouldn't send anyone back to Earth since there's no reason to do so. Considering that the ratio of human population on Earth to Mars is still favoring Earth, then why do I need to send people back to Earth?]]> 2021-11-19 06:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/syifasaffiyahtan/y30jk5hxq3c9reb4/wish/1901460814 syifasaffiyahtan https://padlet.com/syifasaffiyahtan/y30jk5hxq3c9reb4/wish/1901479925 This answer assumed that "send back to Earth" meant "send back to Earth for a period of time". If so, then I would let everyone return to Earth by letting them take turns, assuming that I have the resources to do so. They probably have family or friends that they miss, or maybe they're just homesick. There's no reason for me to be unjust and only let 5 Martians return to Earth, right? I mean, think about it, if you're working on Mars and you see your coworker who gets to go back home, won't that enrage and depress you? You're stuck here, scrolling through Instagram and you see Dr. Ben posted a picture of him chilling with his wife at home, and you have a wife on Earth too and you miss her, you'd hate me for being unfair, won't you? So why shouldn't I let everyone return to Earth?]]> 2021-11-19 06:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/syifasaffiyahtan/y30jk5hxq3c9reb4/wish/1901479925 syifasaffiyahtan https://padlet.com/syifasaffiyahtan/y30jk5hxq3c9reb4/wish/1901495873 Here's the scenario where I do NOT have enough resources to have a system that allows everyone to return back to Earth by letting them take turns. If I don't have the resources to do that, aren't all the Martians (including me) doomed? We need tonnes of rocket fuel to send supplies from Earth, so the inability to let everyone have a mini Earth vacay would be a good indicator that the situation is dire anyway so as a sensible person who cares more about people's lives than profit, then I'm afraid I have to end the mission and send everyone back to Earth.]]> 2021-11-19 06:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/syifasaffiyahtan/y30jk5hxq3c9reb4/wish/1901495873 https://padlet.com/syifasaffiyahtan/y30jk5hxq3c9reb4/wish/1913431623 Botanists in aerospace research play an important role to study survivability of plants which includes fundamental factors such as the role of gravity has on plant processes and responses to the environment. For example, gravitropism is the bending response of plants to the force of gravity with the roots growing downward and the shoots growing upward.
By sending back botanists, they are able to share their findings and research which will improve the applications in medicine, agriculture and biotechnology. ]]> 2021-11-26 01:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/syifasaffiyahtan/y30jk5hxq3c9reb4/wish/1913431623
