Essay on Life on Mars

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…

the universe through the exploration of celestial structures. Particularly astronomers have increasingly become curious with the possibility of life on Mars albeit past or present life. The Mars Exploration Rover mission has been one of the biggest success stories with twin rovers, Spirt and Opportunity landing of the Martian planet successfully. The Mars Exploration rover mission is the first extended exploration of another using mobile robotic science, with the evidence gathered laying the…

Elon Musk’s SpaceX expedition to colonise Mars will undoubtedly change the world of space exploration forever, no longer will living on another planet be limited to science fiction. This leap forward in the survival of humans as a species comes with it a plethora of ethical issues that surround sending humans to Mars. The most obvious issue at this current point in time is human emigration, which is currently the only perceivable way to colonise Mars within the next 20 years. This poses one very…

The future of space exploration starts today with the Space Launch System. Soon we will be able to go farther and faster than ever before to explore Mars and everything beyond. There are many difficult choices to be made before this is possible. We must choose a transportation method for the crew to travel these vast distances. SEP-Chem and the Hybrid Method are the two most promising methods. We must also be able to use Mars’s natural resources to our advantage and explore new ways of getting…

Shouldn’t Go to Mars Why would you want to go to mars when you know nothing about the planet. You might know its the so called “Red Planet” but do you know anything else. Did you know there's --extreme weather on Mars that include insane dust storms, -81 degree temperature, and last but not least your pocketbook. On Mars there are severe conditions that could change your life forever.On mars you can’t you could die from its deadly radiation that could kill you instantly.Also on mars you're…

study, Mars is emerging from a 400,000-year thaw. The recent research may also give NASA scientists more information about the Red Planet. Information scientists can possibly use to understand Earth’s changing climate better. The Mars ice age ended roughly 400,000 years ago, yet the planet is still pretty frosty. Scientists believe that the massive amount of ice that once accumulated around the Martian poles could be the reason. The study’s findings noted that if all that ice was spread over…

We should go to Mars “The day we stop exploring is the day we commit ourselves to live in a stagnant world devoid of curiosity, empty of dreams.” — Neil deGrasse Tyson. The world has gotten too comfortable living in its bubble of safety. It’s time the world became curious and took the chance of exploring the unknown. Years and Years of debate after landing on the moon has raised this question: Should there be a manned spaceflight to Mars? Despite the risks, the benefits for humans of a manned…

been on the surface of Mars for more than eight years, but sadly the spirit rover only made it to six years. Opportunity and the Spirit rover are NASA’s twin Mars Rovers. NASA's Spirit rover landed on Mars January 4, 2004, and was launched June 10, 2003. The amount of time that NASA planned Spirit was 90 days, but as you can tell they went a little over 90 days(2100 days over to be exact!). The…

over all of Europe, then I believe that he could have also faked his death. Planet Mars, Life or no Life?…

“The Martian” is a great movie adapted from Andy weir’s novel “Mars Mission”. Accidentally wound and mistakenly believed dead, astronaut Mark Watney was left alone on the Mars as the Ares 3 and rest of crew safely evacuated from the planet. Using the minimum reserved resource from the Mars station, Mark found a way to make fresh water and grow the potato. Despite all the problem and challenges, he was able to establish communication with Earth by using the Pathfinder. While the rescue plan is…
