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.…
In preparation for the destruction of Earth, humans are to be transported to continue life on the planet Mars. Scientists have been studying this planet for decades. Research and experimentation have shown Mars is capable of supporting human life forms and other organisms. However, the time and money necessary to accomplish such a feat would be astronomical. Matt Williams, the Guide to Space Curator for Universe Today, expresses his opinions on this phenomena in his article, “How Can We Live on Mars?”…
Humans Shouldn’t waste Time and Money Visiting Mars There is so much data out there in this world that leads humans to want to go to other planets. Not only want to, but eventually people may need to go to other planets and there is a chance that it could become a huge part of life and a huge step up from where humans are today. A new galaxy has been discovered called TRAPPIST-1 which has seven Earth like planets, three of them suitable for life. If humans could get to this galaxy which is only 39 light years away, it could be a huge necessity. Most people think we should invest time and money going to Mars, to the moon, and then other planets in our solar system.…
Mars, a red, cold dry planet people are thinking about colonizing. If you ask me this is a bad idea. Mars is dangerous, unsanitary, and you can get many diseases and sicknesses. Mars is dangerous. There are sand storms.…
Mars would be the planet to expect to show the greatest variation in apparent brightness as seen from Earth. None of the planets makes a large percentage change in its distance from the Sun. Mercury only makes a moderate change in its distance from Earth, which tends to be canceled by its phases. Mercury can hardly be seen except near Greatest Elongation, so it’s a never far from being a half-Mercury phase if visible. Venus makes a large fractional change only about 0.3 to 1.6 AU, but this is offset by the smaller fraction of illuminated surface, we see due to the phases.…
Mars colonization means that we should send some normal people (enough for reproduction, at least 100 people), land on Mars and live in Mars. This is a similar process with what we have done in America. Our journey to Mars is truly difficult. Until now, we have or had 12 spacecraft orbit and 12 spacecraft land on Mars, but half of our mission failed on the journey to Mars (data from NASA). However, we are still incessant trying to get the gate of the Mars.…
There has been a large debate recently over whether or not Mars shows signs of life, and whether it could develop life. A small team consisting of 4 people decided to find out the truth. The group designed and executed a series of experiments that tested for the presence of certain essential macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. After compiling the results of each experiment, the group found out that in their experiments, the soil turned out negative for every test. This led to the conclusion that Mars is unable to develop life, because of the lack of macromolecules which are essential for life as humans know it.…
Mars, the fourth planet away from the sun, is our next door neighbor. Since Mars is pretty close to Earth (compared to other planets) and we have the technology; people will move there and never come back. This one way ticket to Mars is called Mars One. People have made this the experience of the century, and each day we learn more and more about Mars. Leaving Earth to go to Mars probably means leaving your whole life on Earth and starting a new life on a whole new different planet that you would not know much about.…
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.…
Humans have pondered on the question, “Are we alone?” for centuries, however, humankind still lacks an answer. Human beings are cognizant and curious of the world surrounding them. So much so that governments, including the United States government, spend billions of dollars on space programs to explore the solar system, the planet Mars in particular. As our earth develops into a planetary, polluted waste, Mars could eventually become our new home.…
On September 28th of 2015, NASA officially confirmed liquid water existing on Mars. Water is pretty common here on Earth, so why is this such a big deal? The big deal is that this is one of the biggest discoveries in Mars history. The discovery of liquid water, provides limitless options from colonization, to the fact that there may be life there now. But how did the media impact this disclosure?…
Colonies on Other Planets Isaiah Dokus 1/12/2017 The Earth is deteriorating, and growing faster by the day. We are using up our natural resources faster than I can type this sentence. Eventually, we may need to move.…
In the next 30 years, we can colonize Mars. Thanks to technological advances and years of mars study, we will be able to travel to Mars and use its natural resources to create permanent human communities on this planet. Why do we want to colonize Mars? Humans have a natural curiosity for the unknown; we have a great spirit of adventure, we are fascinated with the idea of an adventure, exploring the unknown. Colonizing Mars is a very challenging mission, but the once achieved the satisfaction and the glory of colonizing Mars will repay for all the hard work and dedication .Think…
Mars’ resources alone would make this venture economically feasible and shows that the red planet has endless potential to support human…
Navigating the unreliable world of love, Chaucer’s The Complaint of Mars brings out an aspect that we don’t see as often in the traditional love story. Instead of a happy ending with the respective main characters united in romance, Mars and Venus are driven apart by godly fate. Through Mars’ complaint that questions the purpose of love itself, Chaucer asserts that love has a destructive nature, causing endless misery once the pleasure and joy of it has passed. He also believes that love is used as a tool of control by God that lures people to fall in love so that they can be inevitably forced to separate, following their predetermined fates. Mars’ infatuation with Venus is noticed almost immediately as he compliments her to be the source “Of…
