Mars Science Laboratory

Missions Synopsis: My sci-fi paper will detail a futuristic mission to Mars, several decades in the future. Previous rover missions have paved the way for a colony on Mars, and a human crew has at last been sent to the red planet to finish preparations for the settlement. Logistics such as rocket propulsion, humans in space, and robot-human missions will be included, as well as details concerning setting up a colony on Mars. Robot in Space: The Pathfinder Mission: Robotic missions have always…

Ethical Approach To ‘Life on Mars’ With the current state of Earth as global warming causes extreme weather changes set to intensify through the coming years, combined with the depleted level of resources available, due to unsustainable extraction, consumption and waste, and the rapid advances in technology, the race to colonise Mars is becoming increasingly alluring. At present, there are many interested government bodies such as NASA and private companies such as Mars One along with associates…

There's been an ongoing debate on the idea and topic about Pluto's classification as a planet. In 1930, Pluto was discovered 400 billion miles away from the sun by Clyde Tombaugh. "Clyde Tombaugh was an American astronomer who worked for the Lowell observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona" (Wikipedia). When Pluto was discovered it was classified as a planet, it became the 9th planet in the solar system. It wasn't much longer before its classification was in questioned, as a result people started saying…

Elon Musk has dreamt of going to Mars for a long time, and one of the key elements in his operation is an extremely fast transportation system in our world. (Chambra, 2017). Before even beginning the construction of the Hyperloop, Elon has already dreamed incorporating the technology for the mars exploration. Elon Musk stated, “The Hyperloop would incorporate a series of pods travelling in an atmosphere close to an absolute vacuum.” (Chambra, 2017). Musk also plans to create a massive rocket…

Will Humans Ever Live On Mars? Global warming. Nuclear warfare. Donald Trump. These are some of the problems we face in today’s society. In order for the human race to ensure its survival from such threats, it is imperative that humans expand beyond earth and into space. If earth were to be destroyed, the human race would continue to exist on another planet. Many scientists believe mars would be a suitable planet to begin colonizing (SpaceX). Mars has ice underneath its soil, which translates…

Sacrifice is the ability to protect others for their sake, not yours. To be successful, you need to sacrifice, and you need to take risks. "The Martian" is about a botanist Mark Watney that got left behind on Mars due to a big storm that took place while their "Ares 3" mission was in progress. He needs to survive on limited resources and must find a way to return to earth. Andy Weir illustrates the positive impact of sacrifice in “The Martian” since Mark takes one for the team, Mark risks his…

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. It is known as the Red Planet. Many scientist and engineers have been trying to get people up to Mars and colonize it. However, we shouldn’t go up to Mars in an attempt to colonize the planet. It would be very time consuming. Along with this, there would be many health issues we would have to solve. Also, a lot of safety concerns are also present. Here is why we shouldn’t go and colonize Mars. If we did go to Mars, it would take humans a really long…

The Voyager spacecraft program started the worlds endeavor to explore farther regions of our local solar system. The program takes in hand the idea behind the Planetary Grand Tour. In which they would utilize the rare alignment of the planets in their favor, so that the craft would take less time and fuel, having the ability to visit Jupiter and Saturn. With the main mission, the study of both Saturn, and Jupiter, including the planets’ moons, rings, and atmospheric composition. Later, one of…

NASA’s Mission to Mars NASA was created in 1958 and has been planning to go to Mars since April 15, 2010 by President Barack Obama. They say that the first human to set foot on planet Mars will be in the year of 2030. The problem is, is that NASA doesn't have enough money to fully pay for the mission. Is there a possibility that NASA gonna have tax monad to help pay for the trip?Do we really think NASA is ready for Mars? Well if the mission goes as plan the Space Launch System and Orion…

is! Mars is a very similar planet to Earth. Even recent studies have found that there could have been life on Mars many years back. Coming from the sun Mars is the fourth planet out right behind the Earth. Mars’s days are a bit longer than the Earth’s at 24 hours and 37 minutes per day. A year on Mars is 687 days, since the distance from Mars to the sun is 141 million miles. Mars has 4 seasons just like Earth since they have a similar tilt at 25o to the plane revolution. As of right now Mars…
