Rotation is the action of moving an object around a center and this concept is fully shown in the movie “The Martian”. The rotation however depends on the concept of angular momentum, which is the rotational analog of linear momentum. This quantity is and will be the same for any rotating object and will not change unless it is ever impacted with an external force. In this case per say the Earth or Mars, rotating about its axis the physical quantity will always be conserved. Thus poses the…

for their sake, not yours. To be successful, you need to sacrifice, and you need to take risks.

At first they did not think as continuing each other, Bradbury collected them in one book only on the advice of the publisher after most of them…

grown so much: learning to walk, talk, make friends, build cities, start wars, and make bombs that can cleanse entire planets of life. This is our home. Sadly, we can’t live here forever. The concept of expanding our domain isn’t just about exotic Martian vacations or low-gravity sports. Earth may not be habitable forever. The ever-impending “consequences” of climate change, nuclear war, and a slew of astral natural disasters threaten the existence of all life on Earth. It’s time to take a…

German poet and writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said, ‘’Certain defects are necessary for the existence of individuality.’’ In both the 1956 film Forbidden Planet and Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles, the loss of free will/individuality does happen in a fatal and tragic mannerism. In Forbidden Planet, a space crew from Earth is sent to the planet Altair IV to investigate the whereabouts of the missing first expedition that has been unheard from in 20 years. Captain Adams, the main…
