"In 1989‚ NASA’s Space Exploration Initiative Mars plan was expected to cost about $400 billion. According to Zubrin’s 1990 estimate" (Mars Direct)‚ today the projected cost is around US$ 10-22 billion. The race to Mars has begun‚ with this race extending father than government agencies like NASA. The Mars race has even become privatized‚ with companies like Mars One and Space X designing ways to hopefully reach Mars first. The mission to Mars and the first stages to colonize Mars will be very costly

Astronomy 305 Term Paper Insight and Speculation on Getting a Man to Mars Mars has been a fascinating topic of discussion for a long time now. Every aspect of the Red Planet is mysterious when you think about the history of it. It is extremely similar to the Earth in a lot of ways. It experiences seasons just like the Earth due to its tilt. It also has many mountain ranges‚ giving evidence for some plate tectonics‚ but not a lot of evidence. Due to Mars’ very thin atmosphere there is very little

The moon has no atmosphere‚ but there is evidence by the United States Department of Defense Clementine spacecraft shows that there maybe water ice in some deep craters near the moon’s North and South Pole that are permanently shaded. Most of the moon’s surface is covered with regolith‚ which is a mixture of fine dust and rocky debris produced by meteor impact

The Moon - Introduction Its hard to imagine the history of Earth without our Moon. For as long as man walked this Earth‚ the Moon served as "lesser light for the night" and faithful time-piece. The phases of the Moon were used to help guide the Harvest‚ or help determine the time of the river floods. How our Moon came to existence is still under speculation. There are several possible scenarios: Fission Theory - the Earth spinning so fast during early formation that a piece broke off forming

Enceladus has a surface temperature of -330 Fahrenheit. History-Enceladus was discovered by Fredrick William Herschel on August 28‚ 1789‚ during the first use of his new 1.2 m telescope‚ then the largest in the world. Volcanism- In 2005 the Cassini spacecraft performed several close flybys of Enceladus‚ revealing the moon ’s surface and environment in greater detail. In particular‚ the probe discovered a water-rich plume venting from the moon ’s South Polar Region. This discovery‚ along with the presence

Flywheel energy storage works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. The energy is converted back by slowing down the flywheel.Flywheel energy storage system is one form of energy storage devices. It is basically a rechargeable battery. It is used to absorb electric energy from a source‚ store it as kinetic energy of rotation‚ and then deliver it to a load at the appropriate time‚ in the form that meets the load needs
