Mars Exploration Rover

finds a way to contact NASA through an old Pathfinder probe. NASA then declares him alive but does not tell his crew so they can concentrate on the mission back to earth. NASA tells him to drive to another spaceship that was put there for the next Mars crew,…

Elon Musk’s SpaceX expedition to colonise Mars will undoubtedly change the world of space exploration forever, no longer will living on another planet be limited to science fiction. This leap forward in the survival of humans as a species comes with it a plethora of ethical issues that surround sending humans to Mars. The most obvious issue at this current point in time is human emigration, which is currently the only perceivable way to colonise Mars within the next 20 years. This poses one very…

health, then come back with 20/100 vision, low bone density, and intense exposure to radiation we have yet to understand the long term effects of. These are the conditions under which we want four brave souls to live in on Mars in 2025. When it comes to deep space exploration, where do we draw the line for the circumstances under which we can send people rather than machines on missions? I argue that that should be determined by the astronauts themselves. They are, after all, the ones that are…

The Martian Design Process Sol 6 is the most daunting day in Mark Watney's journey on planet Mars. Watney shows an excellent use of the Design Process in twelve “quick” steps. The first step being the easiest, defining the problem. Watney has found a problem--he is stranded alone on a planet millions of miles away from home. In addition to this, his recurring issue is Watney needs to figure out a food source. Mark needs to figure out how to create an edible life source on a planet with no life!…

trip to Mars with his crew. When they arrive on Mars, they decide to start building the hab. While they were finishing the hab they noticed the radar said there was a big sand storm. The sand storm was getting closer and dangerous so they were trying to get to the rocket ship. They were in such a rush they didn’t notice Mark was not there until they got to the ship. They had to leave Mark behind because they did not see him and they did not have much time. After the crew abandons Mark on Mars,…

The Millennium Falcon is one of the fastest ships in the Star Wars universe. It makes the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. This “hunk of junk” has outmaneuvered a fleet of TIE fighters through an asteroid field and, while most ships in Star Wars — from Imperial Star Destroyers to X-Wing fighters — are capable of faster-than-light travel, only the Millennium Falcon has the benefit of specialized care from Han Solo and his trusted copilot Chewbacca. Like Han Solo, business professionals are…

Movies of the 60’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubick) To me, the film raised more questions than it answered. Roughly it shows humans have conquered the outer space. On the moon, a monolith is mined whose origin and material are unknown, this monolith sends a signal to Jupiter. The space ship Discovery is sent to advance to the destination of the signals. Two of the team are awake, the rest of the team is sleeping. The board computer HAL 9000 is becoming more and more of a threat. For me…

The earth orbits the sun, one full orbit is called a revolution, a revolution is one year, and a year is…

Technology, and Transportation: If we are going to be living on Mars, we are going to have to overcome many obstacles. One of the biggest obstacles we have to face is waste management. My plan is to use the waste/garbage and recreate it into electricity. We would have to burn the waste that we have, to produce steam in a boiler that is used to generate electricity. This would provide enough electricity for the population that is coming to Mars. Not only can we produce electricity, but the waste…
