Colonization of Mars

genuine or realistic, which brought many lessons to learn from. The story started off with Mark cursing and explaining his situation, while in amidst all that having to bear a minor wound that was the sole source of his survival. Mark is part of a manned mars mission group called ARES 3. Due to a massive sandstorm…

dark lines appear and disappear seasonally on the surface of Mars. The lines would appear and vanish in the same places during the warmer seasons, near the planet’s equator. This phenomenon is known as slope lineae. NASA has just confirmed that saltwater found in perchlorates’ crystal structure is what causes this to happen. This is very controversial because it raises the intriguing questions of whether or not life could exist on Mars. However, scientists don’t know where this water is coming…

It had large black eyes and smooth green skin. It’s a Martian, sent to explore Earth. The Martian slowly walks down a ramp from his ship to the ground below. The ground is different here than it is on Mars. It is brown and covered with green plants. It is much softer than the rocky soil of Mars. The Martian claps its hands together, causing a thin disk to emerge from the spacecraft. The Martian climbed onto the disk. Ready to explore the Martian shifted its weight forward causing the disk to…

In recent discussions of the planet Mars, a controversial issue is whether or not the time, money, and resources spent to get to Mars would be worth the trip. Two articles published in the New York Times present contrasting perspectives on the topic. On one hand Lawrence M. Krauss argues that The trip to Mars is definitely worth the risk and resources, just not the trip home. On the other hand, however, Ed Regis contends that Mars is a miserable planet that is not worth the effort. After…

Some political and economic challenges affecting Mars Direct involve the budget NASA has for the missions. The cost to send humans to Mars is around $30-50 billion (for private companies it is estimated to be $5billions). NASA’s budget each year is approximately $18billions so the corporation cannot afford to go to Mars alone (as they have to distribute this budget to their other formal missions). They will be looking towards international partnerships and cooperation, unless major disruptive…

Americans attempt to force elements of their society onto other cultures and how they are so self absorbed that they unconsciously disrespect other ways of life. Bradbury shows his antipathy for American Imperialism through some Americans that explore Mars who show blind disrespect to the Martians. For example when the fourth American expedition…

The Technology we need to get to Mars The technology particularly required to get to Mars is astonishing! From solar sails to robots, they all will be astounding. But three factors affect the technology. Cost, time, and engineering. Without these chattels, the expedition to Mars could be a flop. But, we do have these elements, even though it may not seem like it . With those three factors, getting to Mars will be a successful mission. Cost is just one of the three things that affect the…

Way back when, humanity had such a strong past. Nothing appeared. Time was time. Nothing is nothing. The four eras that made history. Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic.

Back in the Precambrian Era . Earth was born. 4.6 million years ago, not even that many.! Stars and the planets were too! Rocks and much…

Mercury is the nearest planet to the sun. As such, it circles around the sun faster than all the other planets that’s why Romans named it after their swift-footed messenger god. The Sumerians also knew about Mercury since at least 5,000 years ago. It was often……………….(akin, related, connect , joint) with Nabu, the god of writing. Mercury was also given separate names for its looks as both are morning star and as an evening star. Greek astronomers knew, however, that the two names…

Saturn is a gas giant and is composed of similar gasses including hydrogen, helium and methane. Saturn can be seen with the naked eye. It is the fifth brightest object in the solar system.Saturn was known to the ancients, including the Babylonians…
