At these sights is where Perchlorates, the hydrated mineral, were found. When referring to these sites, Alfred McEwen, a planetary geologist at the University of Arizona and senior author on the study says, "These may be the best places to search for extant life near the surface of Mars. While it would be…

to know that exploring things that may be impossible is the impossible. Exploration at extreme conditions is worth the cost for big reasons, exploration produces technology for people to build bigger things like better rocket ships and satellite radios. Furthermore, gives us new knowledge to space and things we may not know yet and may need the materials for here on earth. Yet, people believe though that space exploration is not worth it because of the human lives that it takes to do it if…

further our understanding of the universe through the exploration of celestial 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…

In the article, “Mars Exploration Rover”, Spirit became stuck in soft sandy soil. For months N.A.S.A. tried to set it free. The article states, “On March 22, 2010, Spirit ceased transmitting signals to Earth. . .” (“Mars Exploration Rover”). The article informs us that, “Spirit was launched on July 7, 2003, and Opportunity was launched on July 10, 2003” (“Mars Exploration Rover”). “Spirit touched down on January 24, 2004 in the crater called Meridiani Planum (“Mars Exploration Rover”). The…

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Mars Exploration Rover Mission (MER) is an ongoing space exploration mission of the planet Mars utilising two robotic rovers named Spirit and Opportunity launched on June 10 and July 7, 2003, respectively from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA [1]. The mission’s primary goal is to “Determine Whether Life Ever Arose on Mars” (NASA) through the search for clues in soils and rocks that suggest past water activity on the planet’s surface. The…

the need to reach the summit of Mount Everest, George Mallory said “Because it was there.” Humans have desired to explore the unknown and with space exploration they can finally have it. Humans will also see that it produces wealth to the United States economy. Lastly they will see that we cannot send robots to do it for us. Space exploration is worth the cost because it expands our knowledge and helps us see more of the unknown. I say that because studying health conditions effects and…

NASA and many others believe that space exploration could help change our country and our world. There's many ways that space exploration could benefit us. It could help us improve safety and help us find out more about our earth and its resources, exploring space would give us many benefits. The United states and NASA should put more into space exploration. Something that we need to protect ourselves from the threat of getting hit by an asteroid. If we don’t want what happened to the dinosaurs…

Tamppari also talked about NASA’s thousands of detections of minerals. Certain locations have layers of minerals that required a lot of water, and show that the environment has transitioned over time from a wet and neutral environment to more acidic and dry. The transition is being discovered as not so simple, with signs of either multiple, repeated transitions, or different locations changing with different characteristics. These mineral rich locations may have possibly been habitable in the…

NASA has a 19.1 billion dollar budget, which goes towards space exploration. Furthermore, 98% of those rockets are successful. Overall, the 98% of rockets go towards exploring and learning about Space. Space exploration enhances national security and protects us from danger. In other words, imagine cops trying to catch dangerous criminals without satellites being able to track and videotape every movement of the suspect. Nowadays, NASA has researched and developed a satellite that has…
