How Could Life On Mars Be Achieved
How could life on Mars be achieved? Different survival necessities, such as water, food, shelter and sunlight will be needed to be able to live on this planet. Water for example, can be extracted from the soil and food can be eaten in the form of plants grown on Mars or shipments can be obtained once life reaches the planet. Once water is found on Mars, oxygen can be created using a process called MOXIE, which separates water’s two molecules, hydrogen and oxygen and than, oxygen will be used to provide a breathable atmosphere in the living quarters. Power can be created using wind turbines or solar panels and indoor terrariums can be used to mimic Earth’s environment. Water can be created by mixing hydrogen gas with oxygen. Oxygen is essential

    Some scientists believe there was life on Mars due to a number of factors. For one we know there was at one point a substantial amount of liquid water when the planet was much younger. We also know Mars’s electromagnetic field has dampened, making it more susceptible to interstellar heat and radiation, thus eliminating the life that could have existed. There are also other several factors including volcanic activity and evidence of salt oceans.…

    The article The Martian Chroniclers a new era of planetary exploration by Burkhard Bilger discusses Earth and Mars known as the “Goldilocks Planets,” this is because Earth and Mars both have the perfect environment for life to be sustained. I was first observed that Mars had evidence that it could sustain life in 1877, by the astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli. Schiaparelli drew a map of mars as an “earthly paradise.” This was because he observed that the planet had what appeared to be continents and water channels on the surface. Although, it was discovered that Mars has less water contents then earth’s driest desert. Nevertheless, because of Mar’s atmosphere and geological environment Mars has the possibly that it can sustain life. NASA has sent many space crafts to explore what is on Mars the first was the Mariner 9 then, Viking 1 and Viking 2, the…

    Mars has no liquid water on its surface because its atmospheric pressure is too low. Instead the surface only looks similar to places like California’s Mohave Desert and different volcanic places in the Hawaiian islands. Its surface looks reddish from iron oxide, is mostly rocky and barren with no signs of organisms yet, and its air is mostly carbon dioxide. It also has massive dust storms. The only place there might be water is trapped in its polar ice caps. Earth on the other hand abounds with vegetation, life, water, and oxygen due to our atmosphere and relative distance to the sun. Mars is also about half the size of Earth, and its mass is much smaller, making its gravity much weaker as well. Mars does not have plate tectonics like Earth. Because it’s mantle stays fixed, hotspots remain in the same position which is why it develops the largest volcanoes in the solar system, such as Olympus Mons.…

    Construction: involves working on the settlement. The first crew in particular will need to devote a lot of time to the settlement, to make their new home into a comfortable place to live. They will install the corridors between the landers, they will deploy extra solar panels, and they will install equipment, such as greenhouses, inside the habitat. They will spend time on the crops and food preparation. They will also prepare the hardware for the second crew: the second crew hardware will be delivered with the first crew astronauts. As soon as possible, Mars One will try to supply the settlement with methodologies to produce habitable volume from mostly Martian materials, in order to significantly expand the settlement. Our goal is to enable them to construct a space 10 meters wide by 50 meters long. This will be a spacious environment in which to live, where they can also grow trees. Such a large living volume will make Mars a much nicer place to live.…

    In making the case for sending humans to explore Mars in the near future. President Bush has proposed a grand multi-billion dollar long-term project. A project, to this author, is well worth the money. To start off, I will list off a few of my reasons that I will describe more specifically later in this article. First of all, the price tag of 170 billion dollars could easily be reduced by extensive research of more energy and cost efficient technology in the 26 years to come before we actually launch. Second, the possible benefit of spin-off (The transfer of new NASA technology to U.S. consumers) is too great to ignore. The new technology that will be developed from the research for the Mars trip and the new technology that could develop from researching the physics of Mars or finding new resources on Mars will eventually be passed on to the average citizen. My final reason is that exploring new territories is human nature. Since the dawn of time, Man has discovered and conquered strange new frontiers and took full advantage of the new area. By researching on Mars and in Mars physics, we could set the rudimentary foundation of possibly in the distant future terraforming Mars for human inhabitance. For all of these reasons I urge you to support Bush's plan for Mars exploration.…

    This sounds like it could be true because there isn’t much of a difference between Mars and Earth. The big problems with colonizing Mars is oxygen and liquid water. Having liquid water on Mars is possible though because features on the surface suggest that water once flowed. Even though there is no sign of liquid water on Mars astronomers have found water is frozen in the soil, and in sheets of ice in the polar ice caps (Sharp). A way to get oxygen on Mars would be to grow plants. Mars is ninety-five percent carbon dioxide (Sharp) which plants need to survive and grow. In return, plants would give off oxygen for us to breath. Even if we did this the gravity on Mars would not be able to keep oxygen in its…

    “Life on Mars” is a very sentimental and intimate book of poems about how an author deals a lost in her life. Dan Chiasson from The New Yorker states, “Smiths own poetic focus, though polished, like the lenses of the Hubble, ‘to an impossible strength,’ is often directed to the here and now: the book is by turns intimate, even confessional, regarding private life in light of its potential extermination, and resoundingly political, warning of a future that isn’t what it used to be.” The book of poems that this analysis will be coming from is titled “Life on Mars” by Tracy K. Smith. The poems presented are mostly about how Smith deals with the death of her father. This message is not clear throughout the poems which causes one to have to carefully analyze each poem to get an understanding of what is going on.…

    In source A it states “Metabolism. Living organisms maintain themselves by obtaining nutrients from their environments.”. According to source A any natural living organism will meet the following seven basic properties of life, which means the living thing must be able to obtain nutrients from food and water from its environment in order to survive. Continuously, in source B it states “Only a very small fraction of the surface of Mars has been altered by liquid water… Only about 3 percent of the old Noachian Martian surface has hydrous minerals: minerals that incorporated some water into their structure.”. All living organisms need nutrients like water in order to survive. Without water living things can die of dehydration and even starvation because their food (plants) can’t grow without water, Mars doesn’t have enough water to do all these things! Finally, in source C it states “...one of the cameras detected what appeared to be ice exposed at the bottom of craters, that were gouged out by meteoroid impacts on Mars.”. If Mars has ice at the bottom of its craters it prevents plants and other things to grow for living things to live off of. Without food being able to grow, and little water no living thing would be able to…

    According to the International Astronomical Union, there are 8 planets in the Solar System. Located between Earth and Venus, there floats what some commonly refer to as the “small, red planet”- Mars. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and widely known for its fierce coloring. Chinese astronomers called Mars “the fire star”. The Romans, who studied the solar system many centuries ago, named Mars after the Roman god of war because of its fiery red color (Kendell 181). The Romans are known to have copied the ancient Greeks, who also named Mars after their god of war, Ares.…

    Colonization of Mars

    Humans would not be able survive on planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune because those planets are Gas Giants. There is no surface, the planet is made up entirely of gas and atmosphere and the cores would thus most likely be liquid. Mercury, the innermost planet in our solar system, is a terrestrial planet which means it has a hard rocky surface. And although that is true*, humans still would not be able to live on Mercury. There is no atmosphere and because Mercury’s distance is substantially closer to the Sun, temperatures are exceedingly high. Venus is the second planet from Sun and is also a terrestrial planet. The size and mass of Venus is relative to Earth in that they are similar under those characteristics. But due to Venus’ dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, living on its surface would be quite impossible. Venus also has dense sulfur dioxide clouds which makes this planet have the strongest greenhouse effect. And because of this Venus is actually hotter in temperature than Mercury. But what about Mars? Are we able to colonize and inhabit the planet Mars?…
