Colonization of Mars

Is the coastal eroding? Yes, along with the power of the waves and wind the coast is eroding. The coast is not only eroding because of the water and wind, it’s also eroding because of human activity. The one activity that we do causing erosion is dredging; it’s when we get shipped to us. The ships cause waves to hit the coast. Is there any other planet that is habitable? NASA’s space telescope has found planets that could be the second “earth”. They found an earth sized planet orbiting the…

In the book “The life of super earth”, Dimitar Sasselov, one of the expert astronomer discusses some of the major findings on investigations of the universe. Much of the research relates to investigations in the laboratory relating to synthetic biology and how it can lead to better understanding of alien life in other planets outside the solar system. The most interesting idea is Sasselov’s claim that super-earths have better chances of harboring life than earth-sized planets. Personally, I have…

Nasa has just discovered a planet like Earth known as Kepler-186f, named after the telescope that found it, the Kepler. This discovery raises the possibility that a large number of planets like earth are waiting to be found, maybe much closer to Earth. One astronomer says that this is a tip of the iceberg discovery! Another says that it is a historic discovery of an Earth-like planet in a perfect spot around its star. Nasa says that future missions will study whether which planets are life…

The above diagram illustrates the volcanic activity on Venus, it indicates how activity this planet has been and still is. There is no evidence of plate tectonics on Venus along with no long linear volcano chains. There are also no clear subduction zones. Rifts are very common on Venus and they look much like the mid-ocean ridges on Earth. Volcanoes on Venus are much more regional and less organized then here on Earth. Volcanoes on Venus seem to have simple and fewer eruptive styles than the…

Technology has helped humankind move forward but even then we use it to destroy ourselves. In The Watchers people on Mars had been sitting on their porches enjoying the night when they saw Earth explode. A war had begun on Earth. Bradbury says, “At nine o’clock Earth seemed to explode, catch fire, and burn. The people on the porches put up their hands as if to beat the fire out. They waited. By midnight the fire was extinguished. Earth was still there”(144). The phrase, “At nine o’clock Earth…

NASA Update News: NASA Science Chief Announces His Retirement; Leaves A Legacy Of Success John Grunsfeld, head of NASA’s Earth and Space science activities, former astronaut and chief scientists will retire on April 30. He has been in the service for four decades and would leave a remarkable legacy in the history of science and exploration. Space reports that Grunsfeld led the NASA’s Science Mission Directorate since 2012. He managed over 100 missions. These include the New Horizon’s…

Oxygen has been found lingering in the upper atmosphere on Mars. So why doesn't life exist on the planet? Well for one, it's atomic oxygen. Perhaps one day aliens thrived on the red planet, prancing about in lush green fields with waterfalls of gold. As we know, that's far from the case now. So what happened? Until NASA gives us a logical answer, we might as well say the devil is responsible for the planet's destruction. NASA HOPES TO UNCOVER MARS HISTORY Atomic oxygen affects how gas can…

on Mars that would drill below the surface of Mars to investigate its interior structure. This mission is designed to get a better understanding of Mars' evolution. One of InSight’s main targets is to answer the question “How did the terrestrial planets form?” Proposed launch year: May 5, 2018 MISSION SUMMARY (350-400 words) InSight stands for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport. It is a NASA Discovery Program mission that will place a lander on Mars to…

Spacesuit costume is alive and well can be harsh environments strangers, vacuum and extreme temperatures are maintained. Usually wearing a spacesuit on board the spacecraft, as a safety measure, the loss of cabin pressure, extravehicular activity (EVA), should work outside the spacecraft. In Earth orbit, carrying the lunar surface, and to customize the way back to the earth with the moon. Modern spacesuits use complex systems and environmental systems around the base pressure costume, designed…

Neptune Neptune's core which is approximately the size of Earth is believed to be composed of rock and Ice the course covered with a thick mantle that contains water liquid ammonia and methane mixed with gases it is bitterly cold on Neptune with an average temperature of -210 degrees Celsius however it is warmer than expected for a planet's distance from the Sun since Neptune has an internal energy source like others Neptune is the fourth largest planet in terms of diameter making it the…
