Despite Apollo 13 was a life and death situation for the people on board and the original mission was a failure

Science is study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. In the short story of “Follow the Water” many of the scientific facts about Mars can be found in the article “What Would it Take To Live There.” The first fact in “Follow the Water” is the deadly radiation that is found on Mars. “The cabin is made of thick black plastic‚ sturdy enough to protect us from the solar radiation‚ which can kill you—give you terrible skin cancer. That’s what

The Martian Chroniclers response paper 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.

Living in space Living in space is not the same as living on Earth. In space‚ astronauts’ bodies change. On Earth‚ our lower body and legs carry our weight. This helps keep our bones and muscles strong. In space‚ astronauts float. They do not use their legs much. Their lower backs begin to lose strength. Their leg muscles do too. The bones begin to get weak and thin. This is very bad for astronauts’ bodies. They must exercise in space every day. Hygiene. On Earth‚ people need to

Observations are by far the most useful tool in an astronomers arsenal; however‚ predictions have their fair share of uses. One of the most interesting theories that cannot be observed is the Moon’s magnetic field‚ and why there is not one anymore. Moon rocks Colwell 7 brought back from the Apollo age astronauts shows that at some point the moon did have a magnetic field as strong as the Earth’s at some point. From analyzing the way the rock formed‚ the scientists can determine how long the Moon

I used to build spaceships. They were quite mesmerizing‚ really‚ the kind of flying wonders a child could not glance at without imagining the bold brass Star Wars fanfare. Of course‚ I was not limited to just spaceships; although my first works consisted of cars‚ trains‚ and other relatively basic creations‚ I eventually acquired the expertise to even recreate the Empire State Building. To my ten-year-old self‚ the fact that my (comparable tiny) models were made of molded blocks of plastic rather
