Mars is not simply one of Earth's closest neighbors; it's also the only planet in our solar system that is similar to Earth.
Because of this similarity we can learn a great deal about Earth by studying Mars. However, some scientists and private
companies want to do more than study Mars. They actually want to visit it! As they get closer to achieving this goal, this
question arises: Even if we have the technology to send people to Mars, should we? We should not send humans to Mars
because it could cause irreparable harm to the planet.
Many scientists and other experts warn that humans could contaminate Mars with bacteria and other microorganisms.
They believe that human contamination would make it more difficult to locate and study life on Mars. According to an
article titled "Mars," this contamination could also "negatively impact lifeforms, such as microorganisms, that may
currently exist there." Some experts claim that we should travel to Mars because it would provide opportunities for
technological advancement and international cooperation. While there are benefits to sending humans to Mars, the risks
outweigh the gains. In fact, previous missions to space have shown that the same results can be achieved by simply
studying Mars from afar.
Mars may indeed have the answers to some of the biggest challenges we face here on Earth. Which is why it's so
important to preserve the planet. But if humans contaminate it, we may never find the answers we're looking for!

Asap plz which sentence from this excerpt of jefferson davis’s inaugural address indicates that secession was the confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers? an agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . there can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the northeastern states of the american union. it must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. if, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. we have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. through many years of controversy with our late associates, the northern states, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. as a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the confederacy which we have formed. if a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. but, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of providence on a just cause . .
