Website Review Assignment

The Mars Society website's main objective is to further the exploration and settlement of the planet Mars. The home page of the website consists of posts related to Mars from people who must be members of the Mars Society. There are several tabs available to open on the website including political action, marspapers, mars society news, and content. The political action tab included information on how to ask congress to support the mission and objective of the Mars Society. This also included resources that one must have to support their efforts in a campaign.
The Mars Society attempts to extend information about why it is important to gain an understanding of the planet Mars. One of its goals is to reach out to the public and inform them of the vision of pioneering Mars. They also encourage the private exploration of Mars as well.
The Enterprise Mission website is an interesting website. The quote that is on every page of the website caught my eye, "To Boldly Go Where Someone Has Gone Before...." This is an interesting quote to me becuase it shows that the exploration of Mars has only begun. Yes, we have been to Mars, but this quote makes it clear that the scientists beleive that we have more opportunity on Mars.
This website, similar to the first one, has many objectives revolving around the exploration of Mars. A similar objective is to involve the public in the effort to further explore the planet Mars. Many people today do not realize the advances in space exploration over the past 30 years and should understand the possibilities that are in space.
Both websites were very interesting, however, I thought the Enterprise Mission website had more information and was more detailed on what it wanted to accomplish and how they wanted to accomplish it.
