The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL): The Curiosity Crater

The following is a case study of a lesson by Mr. Villanueva reviewing lessons on the planet Mars for an upcoming test. Mr. Villanueva uses many different ways of incorporating both semantic memory and episodic memory as well as the demonstration of long-term memory in his lesson. During the lesson, the importance of attention in memory and recall is seen throughout. This paper describes and inspects the Mars in Review case and what theories were incorporated into this lesson. It critically examines each aspect of this lesson and the correlation between behaviorist theories of learning.

On the other hand, the goals of Mars have been the study of possibility of life on the Mars planet. To do this, ''Curiosity'' a kind of robot, which has been the first habitant of Mars, is the mediator of studies and images. Other example of difference with Apollo mission is the Mars science laboratory, which was created to obtain samples that can be used for a future mission of return, such as rocks and soils, and certain materials found there (Wilson). Unlike the Moon, the planet Mars is a cold desert. It is half of the diameter of the Earth and has the same amount of dry land. Another difference is that Mars has seasons, volcanoes, canyons and the climate, but its atmosphere is too thin for liquid water to exist for long on the surface. On the contrary of Apollo

Forming a society on an inhospitable, deserted, and entirely hostile planet was far from being an easy goal. Everyone presented their plan to colonize Mars, but no one had a perfect plan. There was always a spot where a difference was notable, such as the decision of bringing frozen human embryos. The Martian, a movie that was about surviving the Red Planet, also showed notable unique features in the habitat. However, by analyzing the differences of these colonies, combining ideas could have lead to a very efficient colony. Thus, Mars could have been the start of human expansion throughout the solar system.

Today is March 13th, 2114, just over 110 years since the first Mars rovers landed on the surface of Mars. Yet, little progress has been made in developing a human colony amidst the many issues that plague humans attempting to survive on the surface. Many people look back on the incidents of 2078, 2092, and most recently 2106 as reasons to not continue to explore Mars. Each one of those colonies of 300 people lasted less than a year before the last human was dead and the colony was considered a failure. Most people look back at the 2106 incident as reason to not settle on Mars. On February 23rd, 2106, a blast of Solar Energetic Particles with an energy of nearly

Forrest Edward Mars Sr. was born in 1904 to Frank C Mars and Ethel G Kissack. Forrest first got his taste for the Mars company because his father made butter cream candy from their kitchen in the home in Tacoma, Washington. Frank expands his candy making to Minnesota and crafts what is called the Nougat House in which the candy then were called Patricia chocolates. From the Nougat house, the Milky Way candy bar is introduced and becomes an instant success, where full-time sales staff have to be hired. In 1929, the company becomes Mars Incorporated and Frank works hard enough to make the years amazing, with Forrest newly entering the business. Snickers are launched in 1930, while Forrest moves to the United Kingdom in hopes of working on his

Did you watch The Martian in the movie theaters? It’s hard to make the distinction between science fiction and reality. This paper is dedicated to describing the geology of Mars in reference to our own planet. How do the two planets relate? On a fun note, is there any point in going to Mars? In conclusion, with the power of research, this paper will unlock the mystery surrounded with the geology of Mars.

In 1932 Forrest Mars went to England to begin his own business. He was inspired by his father that had his very own business going. Mars had copied another company. Mars began his product (M&M’S) at a factory in Newark, New Jersey in 1941. After M&M’S started going into business Bruce Murrie and him decided to get together and work. (Mental Floss)

The Mars One Company, is scamming its supporters millions of dollars into a fake mission! The Mars One project has remained for awhile as a legitimate company, but experts and scammed donors have found majour flaws in the Mars One Mission. Many of the experts have found several errors and discrepancies when they more closely examined the Company. This in turn has led many to conclude that Mars One is not a legitimate space agency, and people should not be investing time, resources, and money into this untrustworthy company.

Spirit stumbled across rocks that pointed to an earlier, unrulier Mars that was marked by impacts, explosive volcanism and subsurface water [source: NASA Mars]. "Water is key because almost everywhere we find water on Earth we find life," NASA's Web site. However, we are still unsure life existed on Mars.

10:32 p.m. PDT on August 5th, 2012 the Mars rover Curiosity made its very precarious landing on the red planet. Curiosity is the largest rover that has ever been sent into space with very impressive specifications. Curiosity has a total mass of 1,982 pounds, which is a little below the weight of a car, along with it being over 10 feet long 9 feet wide and 7 feet tall. Curiosity also has a brand new power source, it uses a Radioisotope power system that generates power from the natural decay of the plutonium isotope: Plutonium-238. Since Curiosity has such a large mass engineers at N.A.S.A had to create a new landing system for the plus sized rover. Engineers at N.A.S.A created a landing system for Curiosity called the “Sky Crane” which would

The New York Times article, Mars Finds Changing Rocks, Surprising Scientists written by Kenneth Chang describes the new discoveries made by NASA’s rover. Since the rover landed on Mars August 6, 2012, it has collected plenty of data regarding its atmosphere. The vast majority of these discoveries cognizance two different types of rocks found on Mars: Mudstone and Sandstone. The older rock: mudstone had been made out of lake deposits and the younger rock: sandstone had been made of coarse grains that had blown away and were gravitated to a mountain on mars. Both of these rocks are Basalt rocks. This means that it is likely the rocks are 50% Silica. From watching the rovers footage scientists have observed that the rocks on Mars are constantly

Some of the equipment that was used during the exploration were panoramic cameras these were used to determine texture and structure of the area around where the rovers had taken pictures. Mini-TES was also an equipment used during the exploration this allowed examination of the formation of martian rocks.Martian rocks were formed at one of many craters at mars ,this crater specifically had a mineral that was Meridiani Planum that concluded whether these rocks were formed with any substance regarding water. Mars rovers are built as robots these rovers have “body parts” which include the brains which are computers that help the rovers process the information they obtain while collecting data,another ‘body part” the rovers have are temperature controls this helps the rover with insulation,cameras act as the “neck and head”cameras give senses to the rovers environment regarding where they are the which are the “eyes” and “senses”. The rovers also carry magnet arrays that help pick up airways that give the researchers information about the dust particles in mars. The nine cameras each rover has are used for different purposes four of them are Engineering Hazcams, two are Engineering Navcams, two science Pancams and one Microscopic imager. Each of these cameras are classified as equipment or the rover's “body parts”.Scientist and engineers are able to have communication with the mars rovers by DSN which is deep space network these antennas are placed at a certain position and it permits scientist and engineers to have a constant observation at the rovers in

Astrobiology is the investigation of the origins, distribution and future of life in the Universe. A key aspect of astrobiology is to search for and characterize the full diversity of habitable environments, both on early Earth and on other planets. Volcanic activity and its interactions with water are key aspects of ancient habitable environments on Earth. Evidence of such interactions has been discovered on Mars and these interactions probably also occurred on other Earth-like planets in the universe. Lassen Volcanic National Park provides field sites were volcanic processes interact with water and also host microbial life. The Lassen Astrobiology Intern program explores how volcanism, water, and life interact to sustain microbial ecosystems. These ecosystems provide important examples of the kinds of evidence that astrobiologists seek on Mars as well as on other potentially habitable planets.

In Aphra Behn's “The Rover,” characters define relationships as a type of economy where value and use are key. This time period commodified love and sexuality, valuing financial success over meaningful relationships. The dowry system made rich women with a high status most desirable for marriage and their value was increased by their honor. Typical of seventeenth century literature, Behn plays with this ideology as “the language of love in Restoration comedies frequently draws on the language of commerce.”1 She expresses her beliefs on the “'interest,' 'credit,' and 'value'”2 associated with love and sexuality through the different prices placed on her characters. Where Behn differs from other seventeenth century writers is that she does
