Mars Blackmon

analytical essay will explore the possibility of colonising mars and will justify the issues of planning a trip to Mars, the issues and science around travelling to Mars and the issues and science of colonising Mars. Social and ethical considerations will then be discussed. The population is growing at a rapid pace with the population growing by over eight million people in the last year (World-o-meters, 2016). Astrophysicists at NASA believe Mars is the place to go. Author will mainly use the sources

the first dealing with the initial attempts to colonize Mars, the middle detailing the success and demise of the colony, and the last pondering the possible regeneration of humanity after a devastating war (Gallagher 39). The novel begins with the creation of technology sophisticated enough to reach Mars. Multiple groups of humans attempt to land, but each time the Martian race annihilates them. Once colonization is possible, humans flock to Mars by the thousands, escaping their Earthly burdens for

have the scientific and technological capability would make us ‘the laughing stock’ ”(par. 2-3). I believe NASA should be the only one receiving money from the government in order to do what is beneficial to humans. For example, NASA found water on mars recently, their plans are to colonize that planet. Which is a good idea because the purpose is to explore, to discover new ideas. Chris Impey, an astronomer at UA (University of Arizona) thinks “the desire to explore, which has pushed humans to cross

The book, The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams, is a Science Fiction Comedy that tells the story of a man named Arthur Dent and his experience with space travel. After waking to a bulldozer on his front lawn ready to charge, Arthur’s best friend, an alien disguised as an out of work actor, Ford Perfect, reassures Arthur that the sad demise of his house is nothing compared to the destruction of earth in the next ten minutes. With people all around the world scrambling for safety

o Identify and describe the components and structure of our Solar System. Include important facts and figures.  Sun- It is an average start. It has around 50 degrees Celsius. It takes 8 minutes to look at the sun. You can fit 1.3 million Earth inside the Sun’s shell. The diameter of the Sun is 1,392,000km.  Moon (Luna) - The moon was formed 4.6 billion years ago, much later than the Solar System. The first moon landed was in 1969 by the USA. The first man stepped on the moon was in 1972.  Mercury-

Did Pluto Deserve to be Demoted? In the article "Pluto not a Planet, Astronomers Rule" from National Geographic it states, "a full fledged planet is an object that orbits the sun and is large enough to have become round due to the force of its own gravity. In addition, a planet has to dominate the neighborhood around its orbit." (National Geographic). Pluto does not meet these requirements therefore it should not be considered a planet. Pluto does not dominate its neighborhood. Pluto's orbit

planet, somewhere in the middle of the universe. The real question is, what if humans weren’t just specks on one tiny planet, but were specks on two planets, Earth and Mars? On September 28, 2015, scientists from NASA (North American Space Agency) confirmed that liquid water flows on Mars today. Although they discovered water on Mars, it is only in the form of ice and snow. Finding signs of liquid water on today’s

At one point in time, Earth did not exist. Although there was no Earth, other planets still existed within our very universe. On these other planets not known to current mankind, lived humanoids relatively similar to you and I. Back when thought, emotions, or even time itself did not exist, there was a war of epic proportions happening on the main humanoid planet. Unfortunately for them, there was no light to see from, and no eyes to see from it with, so, to the humanoids, the battle was literally

Administration, best known as NASA, was first authorized by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on October 1, 1958. Its first line of operations was to beat the Soviet Union in exploring the solar system. Shooting for the Moon Plans to send probes to Venus and Mars commanded most of the scientists’ attention until the Soviets sent unmanned probes to the Moon in 1959. The US responded by initiating the Ranger program, but only received its first success in 1964, with the launch of Ranger 7, which was the first

July 2003 for an exploration on Mars. Its mission was to search for signs of past life on Mars [1]. In particular it was searching for geological clues about the existence of water on Mars and whether Mars was wet enough to be hospitable to life [2]. Opportunity was lucky that it landed close to a thin out crop of rocks and it was able to find the evidence of existence of deep salty water flowed over the area from those rocks [2]. Moreover, those rocks could also
