Personal Narrative On Mars

The collection of the rocks was based on just picking up the most amount of difference looking rocks that was possible and bringing them home to analyze. This was done for about two months from many difference locations including campgrounds, beaches, rivers, highways as well as construction sites. After about two months there were many rocks so I started to analyze and take out the rocks that were of the same kind. I found many granite, basalt and conglomerate rocks.

Despite a family history of geophysicists and rock enthusiasts, I’ve never found the subject of rocks particularly fascinating. However, an exploration of Earth Science has lead me to the discovery that rocks are actually hidden gems (often literally), and that there’s more to the topic than one would think.

“Our rock,” Inez proclaimed. “What I imagine you two probably didn’t think at all about was… what was truly going to happen to our rock when we fired the magnetron. When the magnetron sent its microwaves into the rock, they actually went through it, hitting the iron plates on the other side, and were then reflected back our way where the Geiger Counter took a series of measurements of them. Those measurements were then analyzed by my program and then given to us.”

On the first side of the outcrop the rock when examined was greenish and had small black grains indicative of diorite with hornblende giving the green color. The rock was similar to the outcrop encountered at Hollow rock which also had several fractures parallel although not as many, and that outcrop was also highly weathered. On the other side of the outcrop, the rock was incredibly different. This side was not weathered beyond recognition but

Wow! The colors you may see there are such as deep pumpkin orange, mustard orchre yellow, fiery red, sugar-white kaolin, pale pink, dusty lavender, and misty grey. Since the sand in this area is so soft, every time it rained the sand was washed by an erosion. That is how the rock formation started to form. When you visit take notice of how the different colors of sand are layered on top of each other like pages in a book. In the passages it stated how " million of years ago, this area was covered by ocean waters and over time different types of silt and sediment were deposited into deep layers of

It was than the announcement played across the coms, Protocol 87, "They must be damn desperate to kill someone on that ship. Hopefully it’s not us," Nammi glanced down at the screen and nodded, "Works for me, but it’s going to get rough when that thing blows." she gripped the controls and pushed the ship to the

In terms of the placement, the rock was positioned to be right smack in the middle of this community-balanced on a couple of woods. It’s strange to see how it is placed because since it is balanced on unalligned chunks of wood, I

The first fact to go against the moon landing theory is when Stuart Robbins states, “If you have managed to get this far and still believe this claim, then let’s actually get to what’s really going on. Have you ever scanned or photocopied something? If so, you know that any little piece of dirt, hair, dust, or whatever that gets between your original and your imaging device will show up in the copy. That is what happened in the case of the infamous “C” rock – a hair (such as an eyelash) or a small piece of lint got caught between the image and the imager when they were making copies of it. Plain and simple. In the original photograph (close up shown below), there is no C.”’ This confirms that it was just some hair or fine particle that came between the camera and the rock. The second piece of evidence that rebuttals against the moon landing conspiracy theory is when Scott Davis states, “But in fact, the label simply isn’t there. The image of the rock is taken from a much larger shot of the Moon’s surface, and if you look at the original image (shown below left), the marking isn’t there. Either a small hair or piece of thread must have got caught in the machine while it was being copied (image below right).” This confirms that there was only something in between the camera and the

Between January 21st and 29th of 1930, Tombaugh was taking “plates (pictures) of the Delta Geminorum region…on began blinking the plates on 15th February.” (Leverington) Around 4:00 p.m. on the 18th of February, Tombaugh noticed that there was an object that moved! He checked his earlier plates

But then again, it was quite a strange martian, one time it stopped and looked at a seemingly insignificant 'butterfly', as the humans called

hit Earth are found to be great discoveries. These small space rocks that have been chipped off

On this warm Saturday, Clark found a rock much different from anything he had ever seen. It was large, like the size of a book. It was smooth and shiny, Clark could almost see his reflection perfectly. The most mesmerizing thing about this rock is that it was dark indigo, like he was staring to the depths of the sea. He picked it up to get a better look at it but alas! It was too heavy and he dropped it.

The day I stepped into the machine I was proud. I felt the way Buzz Aldrin must have felt, marching closer towards his rocket. I kissed my girl goodbye and smiled like I had won the lottery. The picture of me would have been all over the internet by the time I would leave the capsule again. Seconds later for me, but an hour later for the world.

I opened my first package of Trix cereal, delicious yet inadequate, as we discussed the previous night’s affairs. I ate my second as we pointed and laughed at the TV screens that played the same footage over and over, and at the man who we nicknamed “Dr. Evil”. My third package of Trix was devoured as we talked about what we missed from home. The fourth was gone no later than the end of that conversation as well. Finally, I ate my 5th and final box of Trix as my friends and I excitedly rumoured about what we heard would happen that day. “I heard we were going to use the 1/6th chair”. “I think we do our pool activity today”. “We actually get to go to space today!”. “I’m going to completely fail the mission…”. I felt the same way.

Other samples of the clay were taken to laboratories to be analyzed. Part of the results showed a large concentration of platinum and iridium. These elements are very rare on the surface of the earth at the moment but they are present in meteoric dust that rains down from space at a known rate. That rate allowed for a measurement of how long it took for the clay to form.
