Headlines and news about "Humans in Mars" might not be something to be surprised about in the coming years.

Recent science reports confirm that a top Pentagon space expert suggests that nations around the globe should work together. This is to achieve better research and transportation for people to easily get transported to another planet in the very near future. Space News reported that Pentagon hopes to see a united Earth in coming up with ways to understand life in space, despite the ongoing political misunderstanding of several nations worldwide.

According to the deputy undersecretary of the Space Air Force Winston Beauchamp on Defense One's summit last November 17, the world needs to agree on expected patterns of behavior while on space. "That's part of the reason why we want to codify our norms and behavior in space because it is such an important domain, not just for us but for humanity," Beauchamp said. Pentagon specifically wants to diminish debris and collision that are orbiting the Earth right now that may harm the humanity in the very near future.

"We need to be able to operate in space both to advance our state of technology and eventually get the human race off this planet onto another planet. We can't do that if we have to try to fly through a shell of debris,"Daily Mail UK quotes Beauchamp.

The publication also recalls Stephen Hawking's words earlier this month when he warned people about the dangers if humanity stays on Earth. He specifically said that humans will not survive Earth for another 1,000 years. Some of the threats that he pointed out are the rise of harmful innovations of the artificial intelligence, huge and unexpected disasters, nuclear war, and the spread of genetically engineered virus. Because of this, he invites people to get more interested about life outside Earth and learn new things about being accustomed to the life on space.
