might be to try to live on Mars. President Obama and President Trump have been supporting Nasa to be able to send people to Mars by the 2030’s. Astronauts have had many “trials” (living in a small space with other people for 6-12 months) around the world. Nasa thinks it will take about 6 months each way to Mars and the astronauts would have to live on Mars for about 2 years as they wait for the planets to realign for their trip home. The astronauts have a plan to colonize Mars, grow plants and…

Mars and Earth: Same Same but Different "We know how much radiation is out there, waiting for us between Earth and Mars, but we’re not sure how the human body is going to react to it" says Frank Cucinotta, Space radiation health project of NASA (Burgess & Dubbs, 2007). A new adventure comes along when there is no other giant planet and limited space to block during a long voyage to Mars. Mars has always been the final destination that many scientists turn to in terms of colonization of other…

Mars, the fourth planet away from the sun, is our next door neighbor. Since Mars is pretty close to Earth (compared to other planets) and we have the technology; people will move there and never come back. This one way ticket to Mars is called Mars One. People have made this the experience of the century, and each day we learn more and more about Mars. Leaving Earth to go to Mars probably means leaving your whole life on Earth and starting a new life on a whole new different planet that you…

NASA is planning for the launch date of the Mars rover to be 2020.the rover will be built on human curiosity. There will be differences in the rover the differences will be determined on the last rover sent to Mars. The scientist will be putting in landing system, including a sky crane and a heat shield. The rover body can be created without doing any other building or research. This will reduce the overall risk for the mission, while saving money and time on development. One of the rover…

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.

The Evolvable Mars Campaign Introduction There are two transportation methods of the approaches to the mars. The two methods are the SEP-Chem and the Hybrid method. In the SEP-Chem architecture, the system destination and the propellant return or the stages are pre-deployed proceedings to the troop leaving by the spacecraft of the cargo and it is a solar electric. While in the Hybrid approach, the systems of the destinations are also installed before the troop leave via the SEP, but the…

to Mars Mars, the red planet, is the fourth planet from the sun and is located directly after the planet Earth. Mars is the second smallest planet in our solar system right after Mercury. Mars is named after the roman god of war. However, it is often just referred to as the red planet. This is due to iron oxide that is found on the surface that gives it its reddish look. (Lawler, 2015) Though we do not know who exactly discovered Mars, we do know that the first person to theorize that Mars was…

In recent discussions of the planet Mars, a controversial issue is whether or not the time, money, and resources spent to get to Mars would be worth the trip. Two articles published in the New York Times present contrasting perspectives on the topic. On one hand Lawrence M. Krauss argues that The trip to Mars is definitely worth the risk and resources, just not the trip home. On the other hand, however, Ed Regis contends that Mars is a miserable planet that is not worth the effort. After…

Do Not Colonize Mars Did you know that if the dust storms on Mars are large enough, they could knock out the sun for days? That is one of the inconveniences of inhabiting Mars. There are many people who think we should colonize Mars, and some people disagree. I believe that we should not colonize Mars. First, the weather on Mars is intense. The weather is extremely frigid. The article “What Would It Take to Live Here” states, “ The average temperature is -81 degrees Fahrenheit.” (p. 19)…

water existing on Mars. Water is pretty common here on Earth, so why is this such a big deal? The big deal is that this is one of the biggest discoveries in Mars history. The discovery of liquid water, provides limitless options from colonization, to the fact that there may be life there now. But how did the media impact this disclosure? Normally space discoveries never get extremely popular. I thought to myself what was so different about this one. I conceded that since life on Mars has been…
