there are no streams‚ rivers‚ or lakes on Mars so the water comes from under the soil and wets the soil causing the streaks. This means although the water is slightly different Mars has an even better chance now at supporting life which we will need if NASA is sending astronauts there in 2030. This water could be used for drinking

Sending Curiosity‚ a space rover‚ to mars is much more difficult than sending people into outer space for 2 major reasons: the amount of collaboration/effort and planning. NASA said that this mission “introduced the world to one of the most daring‚ inventive feats of engineering the world had ever witnessed: the pinpoint landing of NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars.” In addition‚ “no mission this ambitious had ever been attempted in the past” and “the landing presented problems that could not be compared

The Space Race Have you ever wondered what it’s like being in space. You would probably have fun maybe you also want to land on the moon too. Well in 1958 the NASA (space program) was created. The U.S.A against the U.S.S.R (soviet union) for the space race or technical advance was created. This space race was created in the Cold War in about 1957 and the Cold War was started in 1947 and lasted o 1991. Who could get to the moon fastest? Who could build better materials than the other team?

Should Humans Move to Mars? “It’s a fixer-upper of a planet‚ but we could make it work.” [Elon Musk‚ CEO of SpaceX] The idea of colonizing Mars seems pretty far away‚ but consider Apollo. No one thought it could happen except NASA‚ and it seems like that is true for Mars One. Mars One could help humans more than just unhinging that need to explore and find new things. Colonizing Mars could help people fix dwindling resources‚ fix overpopulation‚ and escape global warming. Natural fuel is a very

if there was any sign of life. They recorded their observations and when they landed back on Earth‚ NASA took over and examined the samples even further. But even till this day 46 years later‚ scientists around the world are trying to piece together the clues to help them prove if there is indeed sustainable life on the surface of the moon. When the moon’s surface samples were brought back to the NASA laboratories for examination‚ I believe that the scientists there first examined if the samples had

"An Earth-like planet spotted outside our solar system is the first found that could support liquid water and harbor life." This comes from a NASA researcher. New life on other planets could mean so much for the future of humans. The only way to keep finding out new information about our solar system and beyond is to spend money to research it.
