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…

The first destination will be to Mars. Mars is the second planet after Mercury in the solar system, but in terms of the sun it is the fourth planet nearest to it. The distance between Earth and Mars is maximum 0.00000102529 and minimum 0.00000062363 light years. It is unknown who the first person discovered Mars. In 1659, an astronomer named Christian Huygens discovered the Syrtis Major on the surface of Mars. Moreover, another astronomer named Giovanni Schiaparellin in 1877 discovered various…

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…

structures. Particularly astronomers have increasingly become curious with the possibility of life on Mars albeit past or present life. The Mars Exploration Rover mission has been one of the biggest success stories with twin rovers, Spirt and Opportunity landing of the Martian planet successfully. The Mars Exploration rover mission is the first extended exploration of another using mobile robotic science, with the evidence gathered laying the ground work for future missions to the Martian…

they had about the moon formation took a different turn when they kept analyzing these rocks. It took decades for scientist to come up with a whole new theory. Studies suggest the moon contains materials that was once part of the earth. Then there’s Mars the Red Planet; which is only 1/3 of our home it has the most extraordinary features of our solar system, it has the solar system largest Canyon called Valles Marineris, perhaps 3 times bigger than the Grand Canyon in Arizona. It also has the…

is all fictitious, consumers should keep an open mind because first, with a galaxy and universe as big as ours how could one possibly believe that Earth is the only planet capable of sustaining life. Second, there have already been aspects found on Mars to make one reconsider any opinion there was over the topic. Lastly, it is possible to come across a planet or a moon which has the required ingredients to sustain a form of life. Not human life but a different life. The universe in which we live…

Space is a vast and unexplored region, the exploration of which is necessary to satiate mankind’s curiosity and answer the enduring question, “What is our place in the universe?” The need to explore and understand the universe we live in has driven us to establish government agencies, such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA), whose main goal is to study outer space. NASA’s projects have led to many great advancements, including the…

What Keeps A Man Sane - The Martian Blog Post Humanities 10 Isolation could contribute to stress, loneliness, a decline in health and mental breakdown. In the book The Martian, written by Andy Weir, astronaut Mark Watney was stranded on Mars after failing to escape a disastrous sandstorm. This brave botanist was isolated from the entire mankind; he was separated from his crew, and lost the ability to contact them or the Hermes. Mark miraculously survived the sandstorm and made it to safety.…

Gattaca is a film by Andrew Niccol that depicts a futuristic society where eugenics, or the use of selective breeding and genetic manipulation, has become dominant as a way to perfect humanity. The film centers on Vincent Freeman, a naturally-conceived young man whose genetically inferior status as an In-Valid precludes him from achieving his dream of joining the space program Gattaca. Determined to pursue space travel, he assumes the genetic identity of Jerome Morrow, a genetically superior…

It is the third planet from the sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system. It has its own way of protecting itself and life on it (species, humans and plants), it has a strong magnetic field to protect itself and life on it from solar…
