Manned mission to Mars

We Have Liftoff The Space Shuttle has been grounded. This has led some people to believe that manned space exploration has ended. I do not believe this is true. I believe that the commercial sector needs to take the reins to further advance the field of space exploration. Engineers will play a key role in this endeavor. This is especially true if we plan to probe even deeper into the last frontier. The government has done its job and I believe it was time for NASA to step down. NASA did an…

a great cost when NASA tries to pay for multiple missions and taxpayers are reluctant to give more funds. In fact, “It wasn’t the space shuttle that was preventing us from exploring further,” said space history expert Robert Pearlman, “It was the lack of political will to give NASA more money.” (“NASA’s Shuttle”). The company is forced to make sacrifices when it comes to money. One of the many trips NASA has planned is the legendary journey to Mars. They planned to build a space shuttle and a…

emotions of the astronauts travelling in the space and of the rest of the world, relatives, friends and crew members of each mission into the space. These two movies are quite different but still have a lot in common. “Apollo 13” is about seventh manned mission in American Apollo space program and the third one intended to land on the Moon. Unfortunately, during this mission, an oxygen tank exploded and caused serious problems for the astronauts. This movie depicts the hardship connected with…

have the chance to join other people in a one-way ticket journey to Mars. Thought it was a joke? Like a sci-fi scene from the movie Red Planet, but it was not. Mars One, a non-profit foundation led by a Dutch National and Entrepreneur planned to beat NASA in getting people to the Red Planet to establish a human settlement by 2027. With an estimated $6 billion for the first mission and $4 billion for every next manned mission, the idea is to send a crew of four every two years beginning…

America could lose its global power if they don’t get back into space. I know that NASA just shut down manned missions due to budget cuts, and if we don’t go back to space, the U.S. will seem weak. This could cause war, and make more budget issues. However, if they start sending more people to space the U.S. will have more debt, and might be unprepared when a war occurs. The U.S. should go to space because almost all of the countries the U.S. has been competing with have access to space, and…

On September 28th,2015 NASA researchers announced that they had discovered liquid water on the surface of Mars. They actually told news agencies that they had something big to discuss in relation to Mars. It took several space craft and several centers of research five years to come to this finding. Why is there such a push to find liquid water on mars? As far as science knows, life requires water. Rockets require hydrogen and oxygen. Humans require oxygen to breath and to function. If we want…

According to Space.com, Walter Cunningham and the people of his crew, did not get honored with NASA’s biggest award, the NASA Distinguished Service Medal. Apollo 7 was the first manned Apollo mission, but they did not get awarded with this award until forty years later. The mission was at 1968, and the crew got the award at Oct 17, 2008. I can connect with him because I usually don’t get recognition if I do something good in the house. According to NASA he majored in physics. I find physics…

“Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death!” by Maggie Koerth-Baker was published in The New York Times Magazine on July 16, 2013. In the article, Maggie Koerth-Baker states that research funded by NASA trying to understand the truth about people who travel in space for a long time and what behavior they have experience in a long amount of time in the space. Koerth-Baker claims that boredom is one of the biggest problem for astronauts today. The astronauts who travel throughout Mars…

Emma-Mae Smitley 9th period The Colonization Of Mars Life is defined by the decision we make; from how we act, to how we coalesce into our environment. If the earth became unsafe, we as a people would have to make a very drastic decision. Envision a whole new world, but this time on Mars. The colonization of Mars could benefit humankind because expanding our species to a second planet could help maintain our existence longer, the colonization of Mars could also help us as a way for people to…

There are a lot of alien and UFO footage on YouTube. So it is always good to see a scary rocket that may be heading for Mars one day. New footage of a SpaceX rocket cruising down Main Street America may be intimidating to some YouTube viewers. Simply because it is footage of a real rocket that will go to space. And not a bizarre flying saucer that is blowing up volcanoes with laser beams. The footage of the SpaceX rocket was posted by USLaunchReport. There YouTube channel has a little more than…
