Colonization of Mars

Our NASA team is proposing an exploratory mission to the planet Pluto. Although the planet is very far away we have reason to believe that with the technology to get there and set up a base. We have done extensive research on this planet and strongly recommend that this mission is approved and carried out. One reason that this mission is essential to the development of NASA and the human race is the physical features of the land. Pluto is cold, but has 30% water ice and 70% rock material.…

the TEDTalk video, Let’s Not Use Mars as a Backup Planet by Lucianne Walkowicz, she makes use of several rhetorical devices such as: parallelism, imagery, simile, and metaphor in order to further her claim that is, people should take responsibility of the Earth rather than spending valuable time on making Mars a possible planet for people to move in, which will take hundred of years. Walkowicz makes use of parallelism to highlight the comparison between Earth and Mars. For instance, “though…

if the goal is to establish permanent colonies, settlers would need to develop a way to grow food on Mars. In the Martian, the character Mark Watney survives his dilemma because he is able to use his knowledge of Botany to grow potatoes in the Martian soil. Watney turns the HAB floor, as well as some pop up tents normally used in case of a rover breakdown, into a garden by covering it in a layer Mars’ red dirt. The soil on Earth contains certain bacteria and nutrients that are an essential part…

In our society, people may think Mars would be easier to understand. Similiar to Earth, Mars may has ice and water in its atmosphere, different wheather in seasonal, and other recognizable features. However, conditions on Mars vary wildly from what people know on our own planet.Solar system has influenced numerous cultures effecting legends, religious beliefs and at the beginning of the 21st century. Mars Odyssey have long been achieved which is a part of Mars Exploration Program and was…

Mission To Mars “We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard” -John F Kennedy. Back in May of 1961, John F Kennedy challenged the United States to land a man on the moon, and be the first to do it. However, now the challenge has escalated from a moon landing to a landing on an entirely different planet… and living there. Many different organizations have proposed the idea and are currently working on figuring out if we can reach Mars. We have to ask ourselves, how…

Colonizing Mars: Must or Bust? For the better part of the last century, the thought of landing man outside our planet has been an inviting target for international space agencies, distinction seeking engineers, grandeur adventurists, and dreamers of all ages. Carrying on the momentum from the Space Race and mankind's giant leap towards the moon, the next great phase in our mission to colonize outer space has been the Red Planet, Mars. The fact of the matter, however, is that the amount of…

mission to Mars and his survival story. This story can be broken down into three main parts. How he was stranded, what he did to survive, and the rescue mission to return him back to Earth. Each of these categories have smaller sub-sections to them. While analyzing pieces of the main parts in the movie, scientific accuracies and inaccuracies can be found. When looking at parts of how Mark Watney was stranded, the main cause is fictional and non-fictional characteristics of Mars. Before…

In the Martian Chronicles, the author was able to integrate this message into a chapter called the Locusts. The Locusts talks about how when the Earth men come and the second they step foot onto mars they change it to fit their needs without consulting the last living Martians beforehand. It also talks about how when they come they are like a swarm of locust just eating up the resources and then moving on to the next place. “The rockets set the…

into the mist, the robe, the blue mask”(135). Although he wanted people from Earth to come and eat his hot dogs, it wasn’t possible because at the end of the chapter, the Earth caught on fire. This happened after the Martians came to give Sam half of Mars, and it was after Sam shot two innocent Martians. Sam was very scared of being all alone, except for his wife, which then resulted in a mental disorder. He kept thinking that thousands or Earthlings will come and enjoy his food, but that was…

Mars Exploration For centuries mankind has been fascinated by the night sky. Countless numbers of scientists have dedicated their lives to learning and exploring our solar system. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has consistently lead the USA and the world in space experimentation and planned missions. One area they have actively pursued is the study of Mars. NASA has researched planet Mars for over decades and recently released a detailed plan containing their strategy for a…
