weeks before the lab was scheduled to be presented, my group and I had received our mission and issued a warning order to the whole group in order to make a tentative plan. Once the group had made a tentative plan we scheduled a time to conduct reconnaissance of the Field Leaders Reaction Course area. Luckily this had been conducted in advance because a lot of the materials and equipment had been damaged or contaminated by mice. It also gave intelligence on what lanes weren 't able to be used.…

question of water on Mars has finally been answered. “New findings from NASA’S Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars( Liquid Water para 1)”. According to this new theory, empirical data from NASA shows that water on Mars flows intermittently throughout slopes on the Martian surface. Evidence from NASA’S Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), shows detected hydrated mineral salts on slopes. It is believed…

Throughout history we hear the word nomadic and constantly associate this term with words such as, savage, heathen, hunter gatherer.
