The Psychological Effects Of Colonizing Mars For A Long Period Of Time

Did you know that Earth is Dying! Yes, it is in fact dying, although slowly the destruction of Earth is inevitable. So what can we do; Although risky space travel may be the solution, specifically Mars. This traveling is essential to our survival, this is not because of the Earth dying it is because as human we strive to be the first and seek out stimulus. Think of the future, the next generation, and… Space.

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

Another future mission is the A Mars sample return mission (MSR) would be a spaceflight mission to collect and dust samples from Mars and to return them to Earth. Sample return would be a very powerful type of exploration, because analysis is freed from the time budget, and space constraints of spacecraft sensors, Any of Earth’s laboratories could potentially study a sample. The latest space missions the Titan Saturn System Mission (TSSM) it was a joint NASA and ESA proposal for an exploration of Saturn and its moon Titan and Encelaus, where many complex phenomena were revealed by Cassini. With an estimated NASA cost of $2.5 billion, Titan Saturn System Mission was proposed to launch in 2020, get gravity assists from Earth and Venus, and arrive at the Saturn system in 2029. The 4 year prime mission would include a two-year Saturn tour, a two month Titan aero-sampling phase, and a 20 month Titan orbit phase.

One large project that is being pursued is colonizing mars with a human population. This will mold the future and newer generations. It can make us question the future and what lies ahead. It has been said that it will take no more than 50 years to fulfill the colonization of mars.

Mental Illness in Soccer Soccer is considered a sport for everyone, from any country. Whether you’re from a rich family, a middle class family, or you live in the slums, all you need is a ball and your feet to play. There are even soccer leagues for amputees, where the players play with their one available leg while using stilts for balance. But can people with mental disorders play soccer, or any other sport? In the novel “An Anthropologist on Mars” by Oliver Sacks, Sacks writes about the well-known and successful surgeon Dr. Carl Bennett.

The Mars One project, a mission that will attempt to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars, has become immensely popular since its announcement in December of 2013. With the mission’s growing popularity, the CEO of the project, Bas Lansdrop, has established that within twelve years, the first humans will land on the surface of the barren planet and begin colonization (“Mars One: Roadmap”.) Mars One presents our species with the capability to discover new life forms, valuable resources, and it pushes the limits of our technological potential. It is not perplexing to see why countless individuals have signed up to be a part of this historic mission, and ultimately “the next giant leap for mankind.” (Lansdrop.) Although this mission

From a young age Vincent knew success had not been bred into his genetic makeup, and due to his foreseeable health issues, had been labeled as “In-valid” and genetically defective. In hopes of becoming a space navigator one day, Vincent takes on the challenge of

Curiosity was launched into space in Mars, its present and its primitive microbacterial life past. The robot is equipped with more than 10 differents scientific instruments. The Curiosity is obviously equipped with a photographic camera and two hours after having descended on Mars Curiosity take and send the first photos of the red planet. Return on August 6, 2012. Humans could travel Mars from 2022 on a spacecraft that would carry between 100 and 200 people every 26 months, Mexico scientist and businessman Elon Musk said in

The beginning of this book starts with Mark Watney a mechanical engineer and botanist describing his current situation, how mars missions work and how he managed to get into his predicament of being stranded on mars alone. For some of the basics, he is on Aries 3 the third mission that has sent humans to mars. All of the use a really big ship to get there and back and by the time they get to mars 13 pre supply missions will have sent everything they will need onto the Martian ground.

The participants that are going to Mars are risking their lives. Since the trip to Mars will be 8 months long, and when they land on Mars the participants may only survive 68 days. These participants are risking their lives to go to Mars when this expedition could easily fail, by going off course ,losing power, or any various sequence of events. By going to Mars these participants may never walk again or run due to their bones weakening while in space. The participants that are possibly going to Mars may die or not be able to enjoy their

With this new program, NASA sent two spacecraft to the Red Planet, Pathfinder and the Mars Global Surveyor, both of which reached their destination the following year. (Snyder) Pathfinder returned a wealth of information, including weather data and soil analyses. The Mars Global Surveyor provided details on the planet’s seasons and notorious dust storms. In addition, Spirit and Opportunity, a pair of rovers launched several years later, have been exploring the Martian surface in great detail. Both have baffled scientists with their ability to continue functioning long after their original 90-day operational window. (National Geographic)

Mark and Scott Kelly are the twins who volunteered to partake in this study. Scott Kelly (an active-duty astronaut) is the twin who will be spending one-year in space, while Mark Kelly (a retired astronaut) will remain on earth (Brief, 2015). After their one-year separation, the twin subjects will have their DNA collected and physical attributes recorded. Even after the one-year experimentation, Scientist will continue to observe physical changes and examine samples from the twins’ biogenetics. This experiment is continuous because researchers are also analyzing if the spaceflight affected Scott’s aging process. The twin’s samples will continuously be tested until the findings are

Mars has been an enigma in the human mind for centuries. Civilizations studied the planet as it traversed the sky, believing it to be an ethereal power. Even today, the planet fascinates both the scientific and public viewpoint. Many movies and books are set on Mars, including H.G. Wells’s War of the Worlds and Andy Weir’s The Martian. Both novels increase public interest in the celestial body by “humanizing” the planet with the presence of intelligent lifeforms and introducing the need for familiarity beyond Earth. The need for familiarity has led governmental space agencies, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and European Space Agency, to launch missions to Mars. Internationally, forty-three missions have studied

The first is the realization of an amazing dream! Sending a manned mission to Mars is a fantastic adventure. Imagine living on another planet, millions of miles from the Earth; looking up into the sky with the knowledge that one of the 'stars' is actually the planet you were born on. Who can even envision the incredible feeling of being the first human in history to step out of the capsule and leave your footprint on the surface of Mars? By this we implore you to not just think of that

Mars is the planet nearest to Earth that we are most likely to explore and send
