Manned mission to Mars

Mars mission? Bad idea Mars mission is a bad idea because your health and body would be in danger, you would be away many months, and your life would be on the line of death. Your body and health would be a problem on Mars. First, you have to keep your muscles strong or they will deteriorate. For example, you would have to take a jog on the treadmill everyday. Since Mars has such low gravity you will have to find a way to keep your muscles strong. Second, time away from Earth’s gravity harms…

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…

As many people heard, going to Mars and colonize is a new mission everyone is discussing about. Many experts and scientists have looked into the Mars mission; in exploring or colonizing. This mission is still unclear whether they are ready to send manned missions or not. Stephen hawking; theoretical physicist and cosmologist, have said: “ ….we must spread out in space and find a new habitat”[1]. His wording encourages and agrees about colonizing Mars and thinks that the future of the Earth’s…

Sending “150 pound bags of water,” as Laurence Krauss calls them, on missions proves to be a bad idea. Humans going on space missions only make the already expensive mission exponentially more expensive. Humans are also very adapted to this earth and are susceptible to much harm in the outer world (Dunbar). This fact makes it difficult to keep humans safe while also keeping the cost of the mission down. Another reason the cost would go up is the fuel. If we send humans to outer space, we…

Funding to the Final Frontier: US government funding manned space flight missions I have always wondered how stars would look like from a different planet. The universe around us is unknown and undiscovered. Investigating space could reveal answers to being alone in the universe. Governments all around the world want the achievement of space exploration. The US government should continue to fund manned space flight missions because it could lead to further research on space, the colonization of…

China became just the third country – following the US and Russia – to achieve a soft landing of instruments on the moon, landing the “Jade Rabbit” (or Yutu) lunar lander. The significance of this, and other China National Space Administration (CNSA) missions, however, has been the national reaction within China. According to National Geographic’s Michael Greshko, millions of people followed the rover’s activity on social media. In 2014, Yutu was believed to have failed after being unresponsive.…

Mars has many similar traits as Earth. Our nation has done extensive research about this planet. There are many aspects about Mars that is still yet to be uncovered. Many people wonder if life is sustainable on Mars. There are many similar aspects between Mars and Earth, but no astronaut has been to Mars yet. Until there is a manned mission to Mars we may not know if life will be able to survive on this planet. Mars has a very extensive history and we are still learning about this planet.…

again witness history. The American people deserve more than just an unfinished mission, and they want it too. According to an AP- Ipsos poll, 73 out of 128 people believe that the space program should continue sending humans into space (AP-Ipsos Poll). Continuation…

powered flight, by the Wright brothers in 1903, to the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. Now our attention has been focused on Mars and whether or not life can, or ever has, existed on the Red Planet. Jim Bell, a professor that specializes in the study…

moon in the late 1960’s and never returned after their scheduled missions was a strip-tease of almighty proportion. To make matters worse NASA not only did not return to the moon, but instead focused their resources, time, and effort on the space shuttle program. Which was considered by many to be a failure, however, now with the help of the private sector the…
