payload, and passengers. More recently, the possibility of travel to other planets within our solar system has approached feasibility. In 2003, the Mars robotic rovers exceeded all expectations, both mechanically and for information returned. By 2025, NASA plans to send humans to an asteroid and by the 2030’s, to Mars. A manned mission to Mars would last from one to three years (Salotti and Heidmann, 2014). If astronauts were to survive such a lengthy…

The red planet is being colonized by one man trapped on Mars. Mark Watney, the lone colonizer of Mars, lives inside his HAB (Habitat) stranded on Mars. His team had left him, consequently he now has to survive until he can travel home, but he doesn’t have enough food. Mark dreams that he will make it home safe and sound, although he thinks he knows he won’t; but he still tries. The author of The Martian has led an interesting life, as well as his main protagonist Mark Watney. Through Andy Weir’s…

Woooooooo!!! mars one’s first Crew has landed. The Issue is Mars One is going to Mars. Some people are not wanting to go at all whatsoever. We are going to be telling you about a planned trip to mars in the late 2020’s, we think it should happen, but some people think it is bad. We will tell you who it is a good thing, and can be helpful. Mars one is a good thing because we get to learn and explore a new planet. The first reason is that when planet earth runs out of resources like iron and…

impact on Earth; some are capable of even causing a global disaster. Asteroids are said to be leftover particles from when the solar system was formed. Early on, the beginning of Jupiter prevented any planetary bodies from forming in the gap between Mars and Jupiter, causing the small objects that were there to collide with each other and fragment into the asteroids seen today (Space.com). In the 1800's, Giuseppe Piazzi discovered what he thought to be a new planet. He named the asteroid Ceres…

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…

Congress in 1958. NASA’s main purpose is to explore space and aeronautics, or research about flight. There are four Exploration Missions taking place. One being DLRE (Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment), MER (Mars Exploration Rover- Opportunity), Mars Odyssey, and MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter). There are two International Space Station Missions taking place, ISS-RapidScat and OPALS (Optical Payload for Lasercomm Science). There is one Aeronautic Mission, which is Dawn. There are four…

Soldiers in the 35P Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) face many challenges as the progress through their language school and Advanced Individual Training (AIT). They spend six to 18 months focusing all their attention on learning a second language at an accelerated pace and when they have accomplished that daunting task they are sent to Goodfellow Air Force Base to learn the technical aspect of their MOS, usually another three or four months of training. By the time a 35P Soldier arrives at…
