Musk accomplishes this by stating, “SpaceX is trying to move the price point for a ride to Mars down from 10 billion to 200 thousand.” significantly decreasing the amount. Noting this makes someone or a company more open minded to the idea of a trip to mars than before. In addition to the low price the vessel is said to, “carry up to 450 tons of stuff to mars.” when that is four times more than what you need to colonizing the planet.…
The connection between my article Mars, the red planet and The Martian by Andy Weir is that Mark Watney uses Mars’s two moons Phobos and Deimos to help him travel to the Pathfinder so he can communicate with NASA for help. When he travels at night he can’t see any of the landmarks like the craters to help him know the direction he is going so he uses Phobos and Deimos to help him travel. “Mars doesn’t have a magnetic field. So I navigate by Phobos. It whips around Mars so fast it actually rises and sets twice a day, running west to east.…
The article Mars Curiosity; Facts and Information, by Elizbeth Howell had stated information on how the Mars rover works and what it has discovered so far on its expedition. This article is allowing the public to understand how the Mars rover works and what it was designed to do. Mars curiosity is giving readers a better incite how it functions and what it has been discovering. Some information about the rover states it is the size of a small SUV. This tells the audience how big the rover really is.…
Second, in the event of a global catastrophe due to climate change, Mars would serve as the backup location. Additionally, potential resources like “water, precious metals, or additional croplands” are within grasp. Williams touches upon the goals of Elon Musk, a SpaceX coordinator. Musk would like to establish a Martian colony of 80,000 people; Williams respects the idea because of the cheap real estate, but is no fan of the commute. Above the drive of exploration, Williams is sure the difficulty of the task is the main reason for the entire operation.…
A six-member crew of astronauts, under the leadership of Commander Melissa Lewis, decide to suddenly abort their assignment on Mars after they learn of an imminent storm. In the process of exiting the red planet, Mark Watney, one of the crew members, gets hit and disappears from his colleagues. An attempt to search for him by Commander Lewis proofs futile. The crew thinks Watney is dead and proceeds to leave Mars. As the head of the crew, Commander Lewis notifies Teddy Sanders, the NASA director, who makes a press release announcing the fatal passing of the spaceman.…
$ at least. but with that money they can make it there for sure. mars one will send a supply drop and a new crew every year .so in ten years we'll have 40 people on mars in 20yrs will have 80 people on Mars so 25 years we’ll have a hundred people on Mars . by the 2050s we’ll have a full blown…
The Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) is another base providing a suitable habitat for simulations and research (Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation). The geography at this isolated location in Hawaii is exceptionally similar to that on Mars. Additionally, synonymous with conditions on Mars, the area is largely clear of plants and animals (Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation). The soil near this Hawaiian base contains minerals also found in Martian soil (Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation). Moreover, many geographic features such as lava tubes and channels would be available for the crew to explore (Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation).…
Without a doubt, one of the greatest mysteries that the world wants to know is whether or not there was life on Mars. Not only this, but if we can eventually get life on Mars. Well, NASA's rover Curiosity gives the world some spirit that perhaps the opportunity of achieving this is possible. NASA' ROVER CURIOSITY EXPLORING MARS Curiosity has been exploring Mars for quite a while now.…
But NASA has created designs of spacecrafts that are capable of enduring the mission to Mars. The two designs are called Orion and Nautilus (Millis). These designs were created specifically for human space exploration. The designs do need a few touch ups but overall it is a foolproof design that can be trusted. NASA recently signed off for their budget into law.…
People have been fascinated with the stars ever since the beginning of time. Our first manned mission to the moon was Apollo 11. It was a highlighted moment in history when the impossible was accomplished. Now our mission is to find a planet that supports life. NASA thinks Mars can do this.…
So obviously it comes at a price. A big one, too. A six billion dollar price, to be exact. Most people don’t have six billion dollars laying around waiting to be used on a one-way trip to Mars. So this means you would need sponsors.…
Article Review Space, the stars, and other worlds have been a curiosity to man ever since our existence on earth. Ancient societies saw the sun, stars, and moon as Gods and have always been captivated by their wonder. We are now in an age with such grand scientific advancements and technology that allow us to view the final frontier of space in much greater detail than past societies, even within the last one hundred years, could have imagined. In just sixty-six years, society went from the first powered flight, by the Wright brothers in 1903, to the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. Now our attention has been focused on Mars and whether or not life can, or ever has, existed on the Red Planet.…
about it the first people to set foot on Mars will be heroes and will become immortalized, just like Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Colonizing Mars…
Mars’ resources alone would make this venture economically feasible and shows that the red planet has endless potential to support human…
Despite the risks, the benefits for humans of a manned mission to Mars allows, offers, and ensures the new birth of exploration for the world. It will allow for more accurate information about Mars, the ability to explore farther out in space, and the spaceflight will allow the bringing together of different…
