Summary Of The MovieThe Martian 2014

We don’t know if there is a disease out in pace that could well be fatal. Being on a long trip to Mars could cause degeneration in muscles, bones, and your heart. Astronauts also need a bunch of exercise as well. Without it, he/she is likely to experience heart problems because it would be too weak to return to Earth’s gravity. Lastly, there is a LOT of radiation exposure in space. Gary Marin, director for advanced programs at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration said, “Being away from the Earth for three years would mean every cell of your body would be transversed by a galactic ray, and we just don't know what that would do to people." All these health risks add up to an astronomical danger. We need to test how our body reacts to long trips in space before we take take the big leap for

My science fiction paper will describe the struggles and accomplishments of a future mission to mars with the goal of producing a habitable base on the surface for extended stay and experimentation, written in a series of journal entries by the crew. The mission will be a long term journey, having used research to compensate for the effects of space travel on the human body to allow for a longer term residence, spurred by the growing involvement of private industry growth in space travel. As this mission will be primarily based on taking scientific research, the major concepts addressed throughout the logs will be blackbodies, coronal mass ejections, magnetospheres, electromagnetic propulsion, solar sails, the Hohmann transfer, the Martian atmosphere, Martian poles, and the health effects of microgravity. The following research paper will address the latter concept, microgravity health effects, in order to accurately depict the travel conditions of the crew members.

The Martian was shot by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation along with Scott Free Productions. Both these production corporations consulted NASA in order to get aspects of space and space travel, to make the film more accurate. The film stars Matt Damon as the main character playing Mark Watney, and because most of Matt’s scenes are shot solo he actually did not

The people that go to mars are risking their lives they can die of many things, including lack of oxygen and sickness. There is no atmosphere on Mars so therefore there is no oxygen which all humans need. The people will try to make an atmosphere by planting plants which let off oxygen, which could easily fail. Some

Within the story “Follow the Water” by Jennifer L. Holm, you can find multiple scientific facts, and some facts are included in “What Would It Take To Live There”. For example on the bottom of the first page you will see a line about the radiation. “The cabin is made up of thick black plastic, sturdy enough to protect us from the solar radiation, which can kill you give you terrible skin cancer.” Since Mars doesn’t have a magnetic field, you can be exposed to this deadly radiation. “Some of them had to have their noses removed.” Which is one of the events that could happen when your body is exposed. Another subject she talks about is how to temperature is -81 degrees on mars, and that is a true statement. “It’s could on Mar’s colder then you

In conclusion, the passage, “Getting Ready to Live on Mars”, was important to read because it informed the reader about Mars simulations, and had many different main ideas, however only one central idea. The central idea of the passage was developed by quotes and expert opinions, and is partly states at the end of the passage. The central idea of the passage is that Mars simulations are helping eliminate some logistical and emotional conflicts that might occur on a real trip to Mars, and is developed by using expert opinions and

A2: Perseverance: “This sort of farming [...] would turn their land into a dust bowl within twelve years. It’s not sustainable. But who cares? I just need to survive for four years”(Weir 20) Explanation: Mark just needs to survive. He has no intention of staying on Mars any longer than he has to.

Francesca Araco Have you ever wanted to live on a zero gravity plant such as Mars? According to the Article in the scope article “Would You Move To Mars?” by Lauren Tarshis gives us a whole bunch of reasons why we should/shouldn’t move to mars and how NASA is finding life on other planets. I definitely would not move to mars!There are many reasons why I do not want to move to Mars. Therefore, Mars is a dangerous place,it doesn’t have enough air nor water, and if you were to go outside of your bubble (your house on Mars) you would have to wear a spacesuit.(page 6)

In the year 2035, Mark Watney is left stranded on Mars after his crew were struck by a huge dust storm and Watney was believed to have been killed. Now Watney has to use his wit and ingenuity to figure out how to grow crops, make water, and travel 3200 km to the next NASA landing site in hopes of being rescued in another 400 days. Andy Weir tells this story in such a way that putting the book down is difficult to say the least. Every time Watney accomplishes a task he is faced with another challenge. The way that Weir portrays Watney as a smart and ingenious guy, but is also fallible makes Watney relatable to reader, which makes Watney seem human and easy to root for at the same time, which is what makes this book so great.

Should humans really risk leaving earth forever to colonize Mars? There are so many high death risks! Colonizing Mars could be dangerous and risky due to deadly dust storms, a sub zero average temperature, and radiation that could possibly kill you.

After having his arm trapped under an eight-hundred pound boulder for five days, Aron Ralston was forced to amputate his hand in order to escape to rescue. Many people aren’t quite aware of how strong they are until they’re forced to go through extraordinary lengths just to survive. Aron Ralston is part of the innumerable amount for people who have been perilous in the face of survival just to see another day. Novels like “The Martian”, “The 5th Wave”, and “The Hunger Games” explain the fictional side of the extra distance people had to go in order to survive. “The Martian”, is a science fiction novel by American author Andy Weir.

Ed Regis, in the article "let's Not Move to Mars" states: "crews members are in microgravity for the entire trip, with consequent health problems: your bone mass wastes away" (Regis). Additionally crew members will face mental illnesses. Ed Regis also in "Let's Not Move to Mars" states, " Persistent mechanical noises and vibrations, sleep disturbances, unbearable tedium, trance states, depression, monotonous repetition of meals, clothing, routines, conversations and so on" (Regis). Sending people to Mars would turn them mad before they even got there and would be useless.

In this argumentative essay, I will discuss how the manned mission to Mars is being planned and its specifications. Furthermore, how the mission, if executed successfully, will be mankind’s greatest accomplishment yet. However, I will attempt to prove that this mission will inevitably fail due to the unready team and its defective circumstances.

Watney has to make it to the Ares 4 landing site, because the Mars Ascent Vehicle for Ares 4 is already there, as it is supposed to be. He will have to make heavy modifications to the MAV to make it lighter, and will have to intercept Hermes and dock with Hermes. Then, Watney will return to Earth with the rest of the crew safely. Everyone has to agree to the plan in order for it to go on. After the plan was approved, the plan was carried out. The crew of Ares 3 had to extend their mission by over a year, and Watney will have to get to the Ares 4 mission site, the Schiaparelli crater, which is 3200 km away. Watney made heavy modifications to his two rovers. Watney encountered some difficulties while driving, such as encountering a dust storm, and flipping over when going down a hill. As he arrived at the Ares 4 MAV, he has to make heavy modifications to it so that it can be light enough and powerful enough to intercept Hermes. The Ares 3 crew had to blow a hole in Hermes and also activate attitude thrusters when trying to dock with the Ares 4 MAV. At last, Watney was saved with 3 broken ribs (from the G-forces on the
