Mineral exploration

Curiosity has always been the leading factor in division making among humanity, traveling, discovering and learning from our experiences to advance our species. If you were to live on a secluded island in the middle of the ocean, unaware of what awaits, if anything, beyond the horizon. Sooner or later your curiosity would get the best of you and eventually you will leave to explore, learn, develop and widen your knowledge of the area around you. The same can be said with Earth’s closest neighbor…

Space exploration leads the pathway of perception and can be useful in multiple types of technology. With the government in a federal deficit, why was NASA the program that had such a drastic cutback? Space programs and space exploration should be better funded by the government. Although there needs to be a decrease in government spending on programs because of the government deficit, NASA should not have received such a large portion of their program spending cut. NASA has possible plans…

become an icon of space exploration and mankind’s accomplishments. NASA has created countless scientific advancements and created the stepping stone to the future. No one would have thought that NASA’s future would be as uncertain. Now, with the decimation of NASA’s budget by the congress, thousands of jobs are threatened and mankind’s advancements in the field of science is questionable. Congress funding for the space agency is at an all-time low and many deep space exploration programs are…

planet's earlier history stored inside the layers of rock. The rover has also found evidence of groundwater and freshwater existing on the planet. This was determined by the detection of the iron-oxide mineral hematite, which is created when water alters basaltic volcanic rock, as well as jarosite, a mineral that forms when volcanic rock interacts with mildly acidic water. One speculation by scientists is that a lake used to fill gale crater and is the reason for the fine grained sedimentary…

The Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) is another base providing a suitable habitat for simulations and research (Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation). The geography at this isolated location in Hawaii is exceptionally similar to that on Mars. Additionally, synonymous with conditions on Mars, the area is largely clear of plants and animals (Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation). The soil near this Hawaiian base contains minerals also found in Martian…

consideration when making decisions about its future. There are a multitude of issues to be deliberated about the direction of space exploration. The space program is extremely beneficial; however, the effects on the economy, foreign affairs, and environment should be considered before exploring space. There are several varying perspectives on how space exploration will affect the…

then created and began working on space exploration missions. On May 25, 1961, President John F Kennedy…

let NASA fade into irrelevance and be left to romanticize about what could have been. Instead, we should increase NASA’s budget to give them the funding they need. A well funded NASA can guide America into the future of science, technology, and exploration as well as fabricate stable jobs and industry across the globe. Before we dive into the intricacies of NASA’s budget we…

but we do know what group of people discovered it. Scientist have studied Mercury's age as well and they believe that mercury is about 4.503 billion years old. Surprisingly only two countries have studied the planet Mercury The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and the European Space Agency. Mercury was one of the hardest planets to explore because it's the closest to the sun.…

The Discovery Corps Expedition was well worth the time and money the United States government has put into it. On this journey, we learned a lot about what was on the other side of our continent. Without this journey, we would have been living over on the eastern side of the country not knowing what was out to our west. Sure, $15,000,000 sounds like a lot for us to pay for something that we do not know what is, but I believe that that is a small price to pay for the information that we have…
