Sure we've all seen movies and read books about extraterrestrial beings landing on the Earth and conquering the human race. And millions of us have viewed TV shows like "The X-files" and "Third Rock From the Sun." These forms of popular culture share a common thread -- extraterrestrial life. Yet the underlying question is, does the mass media take extraterrestrialism seriously? Or do they mock it? Or do they simply exaggerate its credibility? In the majority of these cases, the mass media not only

the other hand, the surface of Mars will be quite cold for the majority of the Martian year. The Kerbal TC landed subtly and exactly as intended at Mars’ equator. Now that they were no longer in space, they were again affected by a gravitational pull. It took some getting used to, Jen almost tripped and fell. The crew managed to put on their advanced space suits, helping each other out and double-checking for flaws. As soon as they each gave the all clear, Jimmy opened the spacecraft’s hatch and

and billions of other believe to be legitimate many people jump to space exploration as the only answer. A popular concept is terraforming. Terraforming is the process of transforming a hostile environment into one suitable for human life. Being that Mars is the most Earth-like planet in our solar system, it is the best candidate for terraforming. It is believed that terraforming any planet would take centuries for just the initial steps, and much

and actions, we could be able to transform Mars into a habitable planet that would sustain life for many years. There are many planets in our solar system that could be potentially be one day terraformed, some of which have moons already with water and possibly life on them already. Why would we waste our time with Mars then? Mars has always fascinated humans. “In August 1996, the public was captivated with NASA’s announcement that a meteorite from Mars may contain evidence of early microscopic

million years after the origination of the Solar System. While there are many hypotheses that try to account for the formation of the moon, the one that is backed the greatest is the theory that the moon was formed when a large mass roughly the size of Mars collided with the newly formed Earth, this sending out planetary material into the same orbit of the Earth. This material then underwent the process of accretion and formed what we now know as the moon. With modern laser altimetry, scientists have

Expedition 3.5 Renegade Everett, a natural born adventurer. Then he was just a child pretending to be an astronaut with his friends, now he is the captain of The Smoke, a rocket ship destined to land on Mars. After Captain John Black and his crew disappeared on the third expedition to Mars, a new and secret mission was sent out to investigate their disappearances. Welcome to Expedition 3.5. The Smoke left from an isolated desert in New Mexico on May 17th, 2000. There were no hugs or goodbyes

Past the pale blue skies and fluffy white clouds are the brilliantly bright stars in an amazing place called Outer Space. Countless stars, galaxies, and planets drift off into the vast area known as the Universe. Each tiny speck of light out in the distance could be a galaxy, or maybe even planets. Truly, the Universe is huge, holding every wonder in existence. In this Universe, though, was a little gathering of planets, known as the Solar System. In the Solar System, were two planets. One was

Water and Life on Mars Mars perhaps first caught public interest in the late 1870s, when Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli reported using a telescope to observe canali, or channels, on Mars. By the turn of the century, popular songs told of sending messages between Earth and Mars by means of huge signal mirrors. On a darker side, H.G. Wells' 1898 novel The War of the Worlds portrayed an invasion of Earth by technologically superior Martians desperate for water. (1) In the early 1900s

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. In "A cage of butterflies"

When two planets collide, they formed Blicentia. In outer space laid planet Bluce and planet Cential. Bluce and Celtial were planets that did not conatin any human life. Bluce was a planet that was all blue and was made out of ice. Cential was a ball of fire. It was red colored and looked like the sun. People from the so called “Earth” believed that these planets were a threat to them. They thought that if the planets ever got near Earth it would be the end of the “Green Planet.” However, that was
