slow but by now‚ four months into your new life‚ you have become used to it. Just eleven months ago you left Earth and started your journey toward what is now your home‚ the red planet of our solar system‚ Mars. The year is 2027 and you can’t believe you arrived here at last. Colonizing Mars used to seem like a distant far off memory‚ but according to Alana Semuels‚ writer for the Atlantic‚ some commercial space companies like

hopes and dreams about space‚ we still haven’t fully mastered space travel and don’t fully understand the universe. “Mars to Boy” is a short story following a young man‚ by the name of Nikola‚ following these dreams. However‚ this story also explores the idea that as humans we have traveled to and begun colonizing mars. But we don’t want to stop there. After multiple years at mars and mastering travel between the two‚ a team of scientists

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

The planet Mars is the fourth farthest planet from the sun. Mars is very similar to our planet‚ but it also contains some different attributes that make it unique. In the past years‚ Mars has increasingly been in the limelight for astronomers as they continue to study the fascinating qualities of Mars‚ more specifically looking to see if life exists on the planet. Although Mars is very close to Earth‚ there is a great amount of unknown history from the planet. Mars was named by the Romans after

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

Why is Mars red or matter afact why do we need to know about mars. Mars is red because in the acticle www.spaceanswers.com states that “iron rusting rocks and soil on the surface of mars contained a dust composed mostly of iron and small amounts of other elements such as chlorine and sulfur. The rocks and soil were eroded by wind and the dust was blown across the surface by ancient volcanoes.” Mars is really weird because the iron oxide forms a rust dust that floats in the atmosphere and sits as

Petranek claims that your kids might live on mars and this is how they will survive. Mar is smaller then earth but the surface area of mars is the same surface area as earth since earth is mostly covered in water. The atmosphere of mars is very thin‚ one hundred times thinner than earth‚ and not breathable it is nithy six percent carbon dioxide and it is very cold there‚ it is negative eighty one degrees fahrenheit. A day on mars is about the same as earth but mars has an extra thirty nine minutes seasons

Mars is the planet nearest to Earth that we are most likely to explore and send manned missions to. It also is the planet that we have the best chance of finding life on. For both these things water is needed so exploration of Mars by space probes has concentrated on looking for water. Humans have searched for evidence of water on Mars for many years. In 1895 American astronomer Percival Lowell thought that he had seen canals on the surface of Mars. These were disproved as tricks of the

is to locate evidence of current of past life underground and to test the ability of Mars to sustain life. Using the research conducted in past‚ current‚ and future Mars missions‚ this mission proposes three questions about Mars that correlate to the Mars Exploration Program (MEP) science goals and guide the mission. 1. Is there a possibility that life is inhabiting below the surface of Mars? 2. Does Mars “have fossils‚ which would lead to the assumption of past life or is this process only

Mars VS Earth Mars and Earth are both part of the four terrestrial planets that orbit within the inner solar system and are from the same origin. They are both made of rock and metal. Mars has an extremely weak magnetosphere however‚ so probably doesn’t have a liquid metal core. Earth on the other hand does have a liquid metal core‚ which provides its strong magnetosphere. Solar radiation can therefore directly penetrate Mars‚ while Earth can reflect solar radiation. Mars is much further from
