Our project is asking whether outer space affects gene activation. This will help future generations when deciding if outer space is a possibility for raising kids and starting colonies. 2. The scientific problem is if space affects our gene activation. It is relevant to our upcoming mission on mars, starting our own human settlement. Answers to our question will help to prepare us for our mission on Mars and many more. It’s interesting to know if our gene activation will be different. Such as,…

~Space travel has been around for a long time. Since old times and there is no precise date in which the thought was begun. A space traveler, stranded, alone. His survival is all up to hardware and materials that are made for six individuals and in also his knowledge and his designing and what he has learned and remembered in his background knowledge of space travel and Mars. In the movie “The Martian,” the movie starts out with Mark Watney and his team of the Ares III crew mission to Mars is…

I was surprised by Joshua Lederberg’s actions after the Soviet Union launch Sputnik and the space race began. I can imagine that most people where concerned for the safety of their country during the Cold War with the fear of nuclear warfare. Yet, Lederberg was concerned with protecting the “indigenous life-forms across the solar system.” This was surprising because I believe, had I been in Lederberg’s position, that I would be more concerned with the impeding danger on Earth rather than the…

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…

Even though the NASA Space Center could use a space station on the moon or Mars, the children of the United States need that money. Weather that’s to buy food or water, they are in more crucial need of that money. The billions of dollars used to build this International Space Station, could go to the children of poverty. First and foremost, the NASA Space Center in Houston, Texas, already has Space Stations in space. There is no real reason to spend billions on another one on the moon or…

Elon Musk's plan to colonize Mars just got some serious help. SpaceX scientists are now working with NASA to find the best areas for the Red Dragon spaceship to land. With these two forces combined, they hope to get humans to the red planet is just five years. Until then, they'll be a lot of talk about space, profits and of course, aliens. SpaceX and NASA Find Ideal Place for Aliens on Mars SpaceX scientist Paul Wooster found one particular area on Mars with a flat surface. Furthermore, it's…

NASA is working currently on a complicated project of going to Mars. This is going to be a hard and time consuming project that needs 50 people! Unfortunately all 50 of these people will not be coming back. Once these brave people go to Mars, they will be staying there until they pass away. NASA predicts we will be setting foot on Mars in 2030, just 14 years away! NASA says this project is critical due to how many similarities we have with this mysterious red planet.which includes seasons,…

I find the article “Why We Explore” to be very interesting, I have always been very curious on what is out in space and what humans are going to discover next. Jennifer Wiles was the page editor to this article. Wiles wanted people to know what NASA is trying to do next and the reasons why NASA wants to study the translunar part of space. This article was well written if her audience was to juvenile readers who are curious on what NASA has planned next or why NASA is trying to explore the…

the ship cut down on cost to include such a device? Also, normal space missions have to keep enough energy to sustain human life with just the essentials, but on a trip to Mars which could take 68 days (Sample), there would need to be enough energy to keep this shield up for all that time on the way to Mars and on the way back. This is a considerably large amount of energy that needs to be added to the ship. While there are many problems that could be found in this type of shield, the mastermind…

Central Connecticut State University may not be the most prestigious college in the world, but it doesn’t matter what the name of the school is, it matters what you do with your education. I attended Central Connecticut State University out of high school. This university had a good engineering program and was very affordable for my family. Money was never an issue with my family, I have just always been very cost efficient. After attending that university and several after to receive my PhD, I…
