Colonization of Mars What does a planet need to have in order to support life? Earth is unique in our solar system because it is the only planet that is supporting life. Some scientists go so far as to say that the Earth is a “perfect planet” because it has features that are the perfect environment for living organisms; these features include our atmosphere‚ water‚ and a single moon. Earth is also in a place in our solar system where the Sun gives off the right amount of energy to drive the

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. Maintenance: will be

Resiliency of the NASA Mars Program In this paper we will discuss many successes and failures in the history of NASA’s Mars program. When ever NASA has failed they have showed great examples of resiliency. “Merriam-Webster defines resiliency as the ability to become strong‚ healthy‚ or successful again after something bad happens” (www.merriam-webster.com). In 1957 the world changed. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1 the first artificial satellite ever. This was the start of the Space Age. Many

Mars One is sending a rocket with four people in it to Mars in 2022. The mission to Mars takes six months of travel! The trip to Mars is extremely dangerous because one wrong move can easily result in death‚ the rocket will be more than one hundred billion dollars‚ and there are robots that will be picking up information for Mars One. Cosmic radiation doesn’t allow a trip back to earth. It consists of photons (energy about 2.78 Kelvin). On top of those are higher energy particles that are being
