Joshua Connolly 08 August 2015 NCAS2015FALL Evolvable Mars Campaign Essay Question # 4 The question of how to effectively plan a mission to Mars is multi-faceted. To convey the idea of the best mission, every portion of the mission must be discussed. The spacecraft must be designed to meet all mission and safety specifications. The testing must recreate possible scenarios encountered for the duration of the mission. The actual spaceflight plan must account for every action the mission is to take…

Fiction Belongs in Education Fiction is not real, but it is a real life experience, situation, and story that the reader can relate and learn from. “Fiction, because it is not about someone who actually lived in the real world, always has the possibility about being oneself”(Orson Scott Card). Fiction makes the reader become the main character or actor in a story who goes through and overcomes obstacles that are seen in everyday living and society. As readers we learn from fiction and some use…

In what ways are we putting Earth under complicated issues? What can we do in order to achieve long lasting sustainability in Earth? Earth has become an issue all throughout the world and has been the number one problem due to the lack of attention we put on it. Many might not consider it an issue because we see the problems everyday thinking it’s normal, however it affects us along with the Earth. This has an impact on the world because we are the ones who come across problems involving the…

Atmospheric Global Circulation is the movement of air caused by solar energy and the interaction of warm and cold air - this convergence forms cells or belts over the Earth’s surface. George Hadley (1685–1768) a British physicist and meteorologist, who first described this theory in 1753, did so using what is known as the Single-Cell Atmospheric Global Circulation Model or Hadley Cell (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica, 2007). Hadley’s Single-Cell theory failed to consider the Coriolis…

Only floating microscopic organisms could life there because the planted doesn’t have a solid surface for life to develop. The free floating organisms would only be able to exist at the top of the clouds since the atmospheric pressure is more intense than Earths. The free floating organisms would have to be resistant to solar radiation though because the atmosphere is chaotic. Lastly the gravitational compression has heated areas close to the core over 18,000 degree…

On February 28th. 2016, Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Oscar for the movie The Relevant. Before he concluded his acceptance speech, he made a very powerful statement that left the audience speechless. “Making The Revenant was about man's relationship to the natural world. A world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history. Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow. Climate change is real; it is happening right…

Sleeping Pad Comfort Through The Night This sleeping pad can comfortably withstand five times the normal pressure generated while pumping. The humidity resistant polyether laminate and welded seams makes this pad fully airtight. There is enough grip on the top of the mat, offered by the honeycomb fabric, to ensure that you do not slip or slide on the mat at night while at the same time you can change the position to quickly and easily inflate your mat with the integrated pump that inflates it…

Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on earth’s surface. Natural substances like water, ice, acids, salt, plants animals, and changes in temperature are all different targets for weathering. After the material is broken down or dissolved, erosion occurs. Erosion transports the bits and pieces of material away. Every rock on earth’s surface will be weathered in some way because they are not tough enough to resist weathering. The two types of weathering is…

Rising sea levels are increasing the number of floods around the world. Moreover, the occurrence of droughts and desertification in large areas on Earth are having devastating consequences for human kind. All of these issues will become more difficult to manage if we do not act soon. This phenomena is known as global warming and climate change. Global warming is the increase in temperature throughout the world. It is caused by the increasing amount of carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases in…
