The Marti Science Fiction

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

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.

Science fiction produces a "what if" element that asks a question and prophesises the future. There are many texts, which presents the reader or viewer with a particular way of science fiction. The two texts, "A cage of butterflies" by Brain Caswell and "Mission to Mars" by Brian de Palmer, both of which conform to science fiction. The technology used in "A cage of butterflies" is of extremely high standard and produces a theme that prophesises about experimentation and mutations occurring on humans. The theme in "Mission to Mars" is about discovery, communication and reaching out to other life forms.

Before the sailor flybys in the 1960s, scientist thought Mars had water and life, even if it was just some sort of plantlike lichen. Mars has water, frozen underground and at the polar caps. There is (event(s) or object(s) that prove something) that this water has, in the past and present, flooded the surface in liquid from. Signs of wearing away can be

“I think humans will reach Mars, and I would like to see it happen in my lifetime” was said by Buzz Aldrin, a NASA astronaut. The former American aeronaut from Montclair, New Jersey believes that since Mars does exist, it is waiting to be reached by humans. When this would happen, he says that the human race would “evolve into a two-planet species.” Present day Mars has a lot of canyons, mountains and volcanoes. Even though the surface is Mars is very old, scientists learned about different younger rift valleys, plains, hills and ridges. According to recent reports, there were lakes and rivers, along with an ocean billions of years ago. The low temperatures on the planet cause there to be polar ice caps and frozen water present.

Andy Weir has led an exciting and interesting science-filled life, for instance, when Weir was fifteen, he got hired as a programmer for a national laboratory (BookBrowse), and later attended college at the University of California (Lundquist). Space travel, orbital dynamics, relativistic physics, astronomy, and the history of manned spaceflight are a few of Weir’s interests, that he said inspired The Martian (BookBrowse). Weir originally posted the novel on his website as a free serial, but after countless people requested it, he put it on Kindle for 99¢ (Lundquist). After having a such a science-filled life, it is no

On the surface, The Martian is a sci-fi drama about an astronaut stranded on Mars. Mark Watney was assumed dead during an extreme sand storm after sustaining life threatening injuries and damage to his space suit. The rest of the crew evacuated back to Earth, leaving Mark. However, he is able to repair his suit and return to the base, where he begins a series of scientific excursions to keep himself alive for the four or so years until the next Mars expedition, which is his only hope of rescue. Mark learns to grow potatoes in his new home, he creates water from scratch, and rebuilds various space ship equipment. This all sounds ridiculous and unrealistic, but entertaining. Since it is a science fiction novel, none of that is surprising. What

Life is unpredictable and that is the beauty of science fiction; writers are able to create a world, which is plausible enough to engage an audience and suck them into a world they may have never experienced before reading that book. The human condition, in these very situations, becomes delicate and fragile even though real people have not lived through them because these sci-fi worlds relate to moments we all understand. The themes of fear, survival, persistence, resilience, and the power of the human spirit are undeniable experiences that transcends all cultural barriers and languages. All of these also hold true in the book The Martian, written by Andy Weir. Although all of these themes hold true in The Martian, the theme of ingenuity shows

The topic of Mars has long been of interest to astronomers and science fiction enthusiast alike. The premise of another planet supporting life excites people like no other. In 2004, The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, began preliminary science experiments and instrument proposals for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) and a robotic space probe mission to Mars. After long testing and development stages, the mission birthed a rover, Curiosity, which was launched in November 2011 and subsequently landed August 6th 2012. As we speak Curiosity is collecting invaluable data for our understanding of mars including: habitability, climate and geology, and possibly setting up a manned mission to mars in the

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. This red planet is 3,389.5 kilometers in size. In pop culture, Mars was a symbol of war and aggression for thousands of years. The kilometer size was very shocking to me. Today, mars is covered in toxic soil and zapped with radiation as it says in the "Pop Culture Mars" article. That seems very dangerous. Mars' diameter is half of Earth's diameter. In the article, "Pop Culture Mars," it states that Mars will soon be a place that humans will soon be able to settle at. Mars has changed over many of years. It all started BC (before Christ). I honestly believe Mars has Earth-like features. Studies have shown that there was water found in Mars. I honestly have no idea about what technology that would be made

(SUBPOINT) Then it leads to the next question – is or was there water on Mars? The good news is yes there is. But it might not in the ideal form for living being.

The Martian starts off with Mark Watney, a Botanist and Mechanical Engineer, being stranded on Mars after his flight crew of the Ares 3 thought he had died from shrapnel flying through the air and impaling him. So starts Watney 687 days of survival on Mars, starting with first how to survive with no food. To survive Watney starts growing potatoes in the crew’s Martian habitat (HAB) and burning hydrazine to make water. After NASA starts looking at the satellite images of the landing site start showing evidence of a living

Director Ridley Scott said that Matt Damon's astronaut on Mars is the MacGyver for a new generation, "a jack of all trades and a master of all," where Matt Damon as Mark Watney had to depend on his ingenuity to produce water and grow potatoes in order to surivie.

Directed by Ridley Scott and based on the book by Andy Weir, the Martian is a “hard” science fiction adventure set in the godforsaken Martian landscape. After being injured during a Martian dust storm, presumed dead and being left behind by his fellow astronauts (played by Jessica Chastain, Kate
