Blayne: Mars: What is the evidence that water once flowed on Mars? In last couple year’s evidence of water on mars has grown exponentially. The geography of Mars suggests that water was once there. This is because they have found runoff channels in the southern highlands and outflow channels that are almost exact to how they are on Earth, which obviously does have water. The Mars Reconnaissance Observer and Mars Express found deposits of clay in the southern highlands that some researchers
Mars, the red planet, and fourth planet from the sun. What is Mars really like, is it cold or hot, wet or dry? Can humans live on Mars, and if so how? For decades scientists have been studying Mars, they have been using rovers and from there they collected data, samples, and took pictures. These rovers study Mars’ atmosphere, temperatures, weather, if it has water, and a lot more. With all of the data the scientists have gathered we know that Mars’ atmosphere is a lot different than our, yet
COLONIZATION ON MARS Mars has been sitting out in space for so long Scientists have just looked at Mars as just a planet and now we are on the verge of colonizing it. Key resources are needed for Mars, like water, certain gases, and food,and labs in the USA have them all. Scientists should send people to Mars. Water on Mars is highly possible and is key for life on Mars.Scientists have found ways to repurpose water so the humans living on mars can drink purified and edible water.With storage
THERE LIFE ON MARS? If you have a chance to go to a country side where you may have a clear view of the sky at night, you probably will discover a red star. That is probably Mars. With its bright and reddish color, Mars stands out for and easily noticed since the ancient times (Discovery). In 1877, astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli discovered several crisscrossing lines on Mars that he believed to be the canals of water (Discovery). Go along with the hypothesis that life existed on Mars, several processes
Colonizing Mars will be one of the largest challenges humans will face, but it will also be one of the greatest. People should go to Mars for many different reasons. Mars is capable of becoming a habitable planet for earthlings. It can support humans, but it must be prepared first. We must colonize Mars to help it sustain our needs. One reason why we should move to the red planet is because Mars has a large similarity to Earth. Mars may have ice underneath its surface as it had water on its
Mars Colony Essay For many years, people have envisaged a colony on Mars. Though the task may be daunting to some, the ideas and resources needed to sustain a colony on Mars is very important. The similarities and differences between the ideas presented will be analyzed so that the ideas that will form the future for Earth can be used. Moreover, these ideas will also be compared and contrasted to those from the movie, The Martian. In the Mars-X colony, the government was a popular sovereignty
In the article “Mars Shows Signs of Having Flowing Water, Possible Niches for Life, NASA Says” written by Kenneth Chang the central idea is that there is a probability of life on another planet other than Earth. The reason this article is important to us is because with these findings, researchers will be eager to follow up on the discovery so that we can find out if the probable signs of liquid water flowing mean that life could sustain on Mars. For many years scientists have been interested in
Going to Mars Would you like to go to mars hmmm? Well now you can with Mars One. The people in our group is Kainan Yother, Trey Watts, and Kaylee Schneider. All you have to do is send in an application and hope you get in. With Mars One they are going to send people to mars and it's a good idea because one of these days we will run out of resources and we will be up on mars like woah we got all the things we need up here food water and shelter. Everything down on Earth will go to you know what
colonizing Mars, there are some problems we face when it comes to water and weather. Some obstacles are facile and are easy to overcome, but others are more laborious and require additional thinking. One thing that we know is that there is ice on Mars. However, the ice we know is not made up of water, but it consists of carbon dioxide. It also snows carbon dioxide. One clue of water is on some craters where you can see signs of water that has once gone down the slopes. When we are on Mars, we will
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, show evidence of volcanic activities in their past.1,2 Mars is the only location where budgetary and technological constraints permit access and is also considered as having had the most likely planet for sustaining life.1–5 The surface conditions of Mars presently appear hostile to life,6 and thus we rely on evidence that the planet has been more hospitable to life in the past.7 such as the recent discovery of liquid water by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.8 The
2016, I went to the observation of the Global Clusters and Mars. The first telescope I went to was the Nebula. I learned that it had a grey ring around it and that the sun will look like this in approximately five billion years. It was at first quite difficult to locate but then once I angled my head a bit, it was easily located. It looked like a small cluster of gas that I was looking at. The second telescope I went to was that of Mars which I found out t is possible to locate even without a telescope
Ricardo Tovar To: NASA mission board Re: mission to Mars The Composition of Mars is oxidized iron dust and the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide and some water vapor. Days on Mars are 24 hrs 37 minutes and the years are 687 earth days. The average temperature is -81 degrees Fahrenheit. Mars has 2 moons, Phobos, and Deimos. The resources on Mars are Iron and Tridymite. Mars has a solid core and it is 0.375% of Earth’s gravity. The atmosphere of Mars is mostly carbon dioxide and the surface of the
be said about Mars. It was named after the Roman God of War, Mars, for its red color. One of the biggest topics of conversation regarding Mars is whether or not us humans should be looking to colonize the Red Planet. I won’t be getting into the debate of privatized or public space programs because in the end they are both working towards a common goal of getting to Mars. The points I will layout through this essay will be, is Mars habitable, how much money it will cost to get to Mars, some thoughts
Life on Mars? For years, planet Mars has been in the NASA spotlight. The Red Planet has been explored as images, atmoshpere samples and samples of various surface formations have been collected to continue research in labortories here on Earth. The year of 1965 marked the beginiing of the Mars Program, and ever since rocket born cameras, spacecraft voyages, and other advanced technologies have been a part of the explorations. The Mars Program has been dedicated to finding what the planet
Earth and Mars comparison. Th geography of Mars and Earth are so similar that Scientists and geographers study land formations on Earth to better understand the geography of Mars. This apply to most things from the atmosphere to the weather and temperature. Size. The size of Mars is roughly half the size of Earth although it is not quite a sphere. The circumference of mars is 13,300 miles at the equator but only 13,200 miles from pole to pole. This shape is called a oblate spheroid. Although
crawled out of the seas. Colonizing new worlds… the race will survive” -Charles Sheldon (AZ Quotes 1) Mars is the next step in pursuing a new frontier for man to explore. The journey is dangerous and costly and people who oppose, believe man should not risk their lives, but this is what human beings are best for, pursuing our dreams no matter the risks that are involved. Creating a settlement on Mars is not a question of if, when, or why, humans are going soon and we know why, but it is a question of
water to healthily sustain a Mars colony of one hundred people for one year? A second question is, “Is there a way to reduce the amount of water used by each human on a daily basis? HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that the easiest, cheapest, and most sustainable source of water on Mars will be filtration of urine. Scientists have already proved that this will work in space on the International Space Station. A second hypothesis is that the amount of water needed by humans on mars can be cut in half by making
After landing on moon in 1969, human discovered that there was no life and no atmosphere on the moon. Then the mission changed to Mars. The question is whether life exists on Mars. To continue the mission of Mars Odyssey in 2001, a project was developed by NASA named Phoenix which is a robotic spacecraft orbiting the Mars planet. The total mission cost was about US $386 million, which includes cost of the launch. The mission had two goals. One was to search for evidence of geologic history of water
Should humans attempt to establish a permanent colony on Mars? There have many theories and scientific discoveries proven that there is life on Mars. On August of 2012 a rover was landed on Mars and today it’s been nearly three years since the rover has landed for scientific discoveries. The Mars Science Laboratory and its rover centerpiece, Curiosity has been one of the most ambitious missions by NASA. When NASA launched this mission, they wanted to see if there was some life on this red barren
completely colonizing Mars. Instead, they have decided to build outposts in space much like the European explorers in the 16th century, on route to China for trade to protect the motherland’s trade route from enemies and refuel ships. About 10 years ago, scientists began building an outpost on Mars a few miles from Gale Crater. Robots are maintaining the facility, but their hands are not quite suited for wiring the base. Thus, NASA deemed it necessary to send humans to Mars to get the base running
