This article “ Water on Mars” by Jennifer Barone is about NASA find water on Mars. The NASA know that their is freezing water on mars but never find liquid water. NASA announced that they find liquid water and something that is related to a small living thing on mars. In 2010 a college student was studying the red planet and he find dark streaks on sloped surface on the red planet. Scientist say that is possible that some kind of living thing could survive on the red planet.…
The rover has a built in parachute that allowed a gentle landing on to the planet. A couple of tools to it has that will help detect whether there is another life is bombards the surrounding surface with neutrons, the Sample Analysis of Mars Instrument,…
In preparation for the destruction of Earth, humans are to be transported to continue life on the planet Mars. Scientists have been studying this planet for decades. Research and experimentation have shown Mars is capable of supporting human life forms and other organisms. However, the time and money necessary to accomplish such a feat would be astronomical. Matt Williams, the Guide to Space Curator for Universe Today, expresses his opinions on this phenomena in his article, “How Can We Live on Mars?”…
The Opportunity Rover and it’s twin the Spirit Rover received their names from a nine year old, Sofi Collis. She won the naming contest that NASA held (with help from Planetary Society and sponsorship from lego) to find a name for the rovers exploring Mars. Sofi Collis got adopted at the age of two. She came to live with her new family in Scottsdale, Arizona. "I used to live in an orphanage," Collis wrote in her winning essay.…
I thought that the technical description for Mars Curiosity Rover is organized fairly well in regards to the introduction, major parts and conclusion. When I began reading the description, it immediately started of with a definition of the subject. In the introduction, it lists the mission or (purpose statement), list of major parts in order, the importance of the subject, overall description and the main point. The major parts paragraphs also follow the same organized scheme.…
Kennedy exclaimed, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone…” (Kennedy). The same can be said about a mission to Mars. Nearly fifty years have passed since a human has produced such a monumental contribution to space exploration as being the first to set foot on soil not belonging to the Earth. Humans are meant to explore; it is in our nature. We as a species are curious.…
One tool is a test that is done that the ground gets blasted with neutrons and when the neutrons come in contact with any hydrogen atoms the neutrons slow down. (WHY IS WATER IMPORTANT). The rover also has a seven-foot arm that collects different samples from mars and then is “cooked” inside of the rover. The gasses that are given off by the samples get…
“Spirit touched down on January 24, 2004 in the crater called Meridiani Planum (“Mars Exploration Rover”). The article informs us that, “The rover had traveled more than 4.8 miles (7.7km) in its mobile life time” (“Mars Exploration Rover”).Opportunity, an N.A.S.A. rover, came within 220 yards of completing a marathon on Mars (“Mars Rover. . . Achievement”). In the article, “Mars Rover Nearing Marathon Achievement”, the description of the mission was released. “Opportunity is headed for a portion of the western rim of Endeavour Crater where observations by N.A.S.A.’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have detected multiple types of clay minerals” (“Mars Rover…Achievements”).…
A space expedition goes horribly wrong just after Sol 6 on the planet of Mars (The Antagonist). A sudden dust storm (Which realistically is implausible, but makes for great storytelling!) causes the team to evacuate, but Mark Watney (the ever loving protagonist of our story) gets impaled by a chunk of satellite and is presumed dead. As happenstances go he survives and struggles for survival on the planet that's constantly trying to kill him. Watney, a botanist and mechanical mastermind, has the skill set needed to survive on the treacherous planet, but for how long?…
The Death of Adolf Hitler This controversy is about the death of Adolph Hitler, and how it might have been a fake death. There are a couple of different theories to discover. The possibility that it was Hitler's stand-in that was found dead in the bunker in Germany caused this controversy! So, the people who thought that he faked his death strongly assumed that he went to Barcelona Spain, and then went to South America.…
here will be a 2020 NASA mission to Mars. This mission should help discover to see if there is any possible life on Mars. Many scientists believe there could possibly be microscopic life on Mars. Plus, this mission might also include experiments that could prepare for human exploration. Scientists believe that there could be possible life on Mars because it is much like Earth.…
Mars could have once harbored life. Some conjecture that life might still exist there today. In the past, oceans may have also covered the surface of Mars, providing an environment for life to exist. Although the red planet is a cold desert today, researchers suggest that liquid water may be present underground, providing a potential refuge for any life that might still exist there. Several studies have shown that there is abundant water ice beneath the…
People have been fascinated with the stars ever since the beginning of time. Our first manned mission to the moon was Apollo 11. It was a highlighted moment in history when the impossible was accomplished. Now our mission is to find a planet that supports life. NASA thinks Mars can do this.…
Mars, the fourth planet away from the sun, is our next door neighbor. Since Mars is pretty close to Earth (compared to other planets) and we have the technology; people will move there and never come back. This one way ticket to Mars is called Mars One. People have made this the experience of the century, and each day we learn more and more about Mars. Leaving Earth to go to Mars probably means leaving your whole life on Earth and starting a new life on a whole new different planet that you would not know much about.…
I selected this particular topic, because I have always had an interest in the “2030 Mission to Mars”, and as a child, I dreamt of being one of the few selected for this historical mission to Mars. Therefore, it immediately came to my mind when the prompt mentioned 2040; mainly due to the fact that if colonists land on Mars around 2030, then it will take years of production to establish a sustainable colony (environment with renewable resources). At last, I trust that it will be of great interest to the people of the United States around the years of 2040.…
