law enforcement team. With SpaceX, Elon Musk plans on landing a Dragon capsule on Mars by 2018. He also is strongly working on civilian travel to space for transport and recreational reasons. With the accomplishment of SpaceX landing the 1st stage rocket on a barge for reuse have opened up more possibilities by not only technology and ability, but also in cost savings. NASA’s drive is to land a rover on Mars…

the area of where Mars orbits and had yet to be formed. Jupiter probably stopped moving inwards as of the pull of Saturn as like Jupiter Saturn was closer to the centre of the Solar System so it had more effect on Jupiter. As Jupiter travelled inwards it gently nudged the Asteroid belt essentially switching places with it, and then as Jupiter went further out it encountered an area of icy objects and pushed many of them into the Asteroid belt. The evidence behind this theory is Mars itself,…

The Martian The closest Mars and Earth will ever be is 54.6 million kilometers. That has to be a bad feeling when it’s 2035 and your crew has just left you all alone on Mars. In The Martian book and movie we find out just how Mark Watney felt as he fought for his life while stranded on Mars and his strong desire to be reunited with Earth. The movie left out many important details that were included in the book, such as getting to know Watney before hopping into his journey and despite its lack…

The scene selected for a theory and principle of Psychology is when Mark Watney is setting up a video camera over his mars space station (HAB) lab turned potato farm. Mark is talking to the camera stating, “now that NASA can talk to me they won’t shut up, they want constant updates of the HAB and they have a room full of people trying to micromanage my crops.” “Which is awesome, I don’t mean to sound arrogant but I am the greatest botanist on this planet.” Gesturing to the camera the progress of…

Earth, Venus and Mars were subject to differing evolutionary processes in regards to their atmospheres. The current atmospheric composition of each of these planets also differs whereby Earth is dominated by nitrogen and oxygen whilst Venus and Mars are dominated by carbon dioxide (Rasool 1967, p.1466). This essay will examine the differences in the evolution of atmospheric conditions on Earth, Venus and Mars as well as their relative current atmospheric composition. Additionally, this essay…

great venture to Mars or even traveling through the depths of our oceans can be just as exciting. All we have to to is dare to go forth. We need to participate in the next major technological race, or we may fall behind both technologically and diplomatically. But how will this affect us scientifically? As we explore, we may stumble upon new laws of nature that apply deep in the oceans or on Mars. New scientific questions will also come up, such as: Was there intelligent life on Mars? If so ,…

The movie, The Martian, is a science fiction film based on a novel of the same name, published by Andy Weir. The feature film is focused around the planet Mars. Primarily, the Acidalia Planitia, a plain on the red planet. In the movie, this plain is the landing site for the NASA space crew, Ares III. Beginning on sol (day) 18 of their 31 sol mission, Ares III is shown inspecting the differences in soil of various areas when a severe emergency warning pops up on the computer in the HAB, or the…

Courage is doing something even if it frightens someone. All the men from earth had courage. To start with, that men kept going to Mars; this showed courage because they know that the crew before them had something bad happen. Also, they were going to a plant millions of miles away from Earth to see if the there was any life form on Mars. Nathaniel York was the first to go to Mars, after him was Captain Williams and his crew. Williams and his crew went to Mrs. Ttt, who is the first Martian they…

Nasa’s Viking project found its place in US history when it became the first American mission to make it to the surface of Mars. Two of the same spaceships were built, each containing an orbiter and a lander. Th spacecraft’s both flew together when they entered the orbit of Mars. The landers separated and the began the decent to the surface of the rusty red planet known as Mars. Viking 1 touched down in the southern hemisphere while Viking 2 lander made it way to Utopia Planitea. Other than…

The last frontier. There are over 125 billion galaxies (Bond). And out of countless of planets, only 1 can hold life? Well, we couldn't tell you if there are any other planets with life out there because we have only explored less than .5 percent of space. This is truly why space is truly the last frontier and will because of NASA’s mediocre funding. The Space Race didn't just prove that the United states can do anything we put our minds too. It also proved that NASA’s job goes way beyond just…
