...We are off! Me and 499 people are off to go to the planet Mars. We are going to live in Marsavaction (Mars-a-vacation) Space Station. I know you are probably wondering how are these people all going to fit on Mars. Well, Mars is not too big or too small. People will be living in groups with their families. So if you are alone, you might be paired up with someone else. In this space station there will be a places for games/relaxing, a gym, cemetery, courtroom, restrooms, work office, school, meeting place, market, shop, technology room, and a main office. 500 people will be able to go to Mars and live a good life, but a little bit differently. Now you are thinking “how will we survive?” First of all, food will be there 24/7. Well before we...

...Mars – Should we settle or just visit? By: Megan Bailey 12J You might think that The Race to Mars is topic for the future, but think again. It is taking place right now. There is some controversy towards this Race to Mars, as some believe that it is a planet that people could live on, whereas others believe that we should only visit it. Both, living on Mars, and visiting Mars have various advantages and disadvantages. The real question is: which one would benefit science, and humanity the most? Stephen Hawking once said, “I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.” Overpopulation is an enormous issue in the world today. We have exceeded our carrying capacity by far, and are now using up all of our resources available. Humans are greedy. We want more than what we need, and thus use up everything we have. The way that mankind is living now, will ensure that our species becomes extinct soon. Living on another planet, like Mars, could ensure the survival and success of the human race, as it is a viable solution to the overpopulation on Earth, as well as the loss of resources. Living on Mars, will benefit science, in that scientists may end up discovering life on...

...them. With less land and more people in smaller areas we will not be able to produce food and other goods for everyone. People will be stacked on top of one another and pollution levels will sky rocket. Inevitably mother nature will strike us and there will be many casualties. With dirty melty icebergs the world will soon run out of fresh water to drink and many people will die of dehydration. We will have no other options then to either die on earth or colonize space. It would be a fresh start that the human race so desperately needs. Population- We are at a current world population of 7.5 billion people and it is growing rapidly. By 2050 the population of the world will be around 10...

...Introduction “Earth and Mars have a lot in common. They formed around the same time -- about 4.6 billion years ago -- and, as on Earth, a Martian day lasts about 24 hours (Ross, 2016, p.8). This is one of the many reasons why humans should colonize Mars. Humans should colonize Mars because it is the closest planet to Earth within the habitable zone, also with current technology it is the most feasible planet that is within reach of Earth. Colonizing Mars would help Earth with its problems with resources and space control for humans. Why Mars? The big question to colonizing another planet, is why Mars out of all of the other planets in our solar system? As Thompson (2012) stated, “Mars is more like Earth than any other place in the known universe”...

...Mars was once able to sustain human life from research by rovers. A Rover is a space vehicle designed to move across the surface of a planet or other celestial body. The Rovers have found a lot of information about Mars. First, The Red Planet is more than likely to be the first planet, humans search on for extraterrestrial beings (Warmflash 6). This will help continue the research for life with humans being there, we could go out on searches with Rovers and know what we are looking for better. For this reason a rover named Oppy has been beaming up a decades worth of information to space stations on Earth (Space Daily 2). Therefore, Rover’s have found useful information to send back to Earth. Water on Mars has been gone for billions of years....

...Mars’ exceedingly thin atmosphere is bad news for potential landing craft because it will be much more difficult to slow down without the use of aerodynamics. This means the spacecraft not only has to withstand the heat of reentry, put also be able to exert enough force to stop itself from crashing into the Martian terrain. As mentioned before, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 landing technique, Supersonic Retropropulsion, could still be used to slow down; however, when these rockets land they are generally empty, having delivered their cargo to the ISS. In this case, it would need to be able to carry a full load while landing on Mars, as well as land on the planet’s uneven terrain. Once humans are able to land on the Red planet, how will they continue to live on its...

...Self-Defenses, who needs it? Well we all do, no matter where we live. What are the best ways to protect ourselves? Despite what many people say, a firearm is a great way to protect yourself and others. The government is trying to limit our gun freedom; in doing this they are taking away our own personal protection package. One pull of the finger and you can stop a person or animal dead in their tracks. Most of the time you wouldn’t have to pull the trigger, just the sight of the gun can stop them. In 2005-2010, there have been about 213 justified firearm homicides per year, 2.5 million defensive gun uses with only 0.00852 percent that led to a death (David Frum). That’s close to nothing. If a gun wasn’t involved who knows how many more casualties there would have been. How many more families would be making one less dinner plate at night? When owning a gun, you have to be well educated in how to use it. If you don’t know how to properly use the weapon, it could lead to injury or even death. If someone broke into your house and had a gun, what could you do if you didn’t know how to use it safely? You would be shot or even killed. Good for you, you just wasted money on a gun that could have saved your life if you knew how to use it. It’s like buying a car with manual transmission and never learned how to drive one. It is just wasted money and space. It could even lead to death to you or another person. A gun in trained hands can be a very lethal weapon. Owning...

...Mars: The New Frontier ITT Technical Institute In 2023 an organization called Mars One plans to have a human settlement established on Mars. According to Mars One (2012), every two years after that they will send a new crew to join the settlement. Further, Mars One states, “The crew will emigrate to Mars. They will spend the rest of their lives living and working on Mars. While sustaining life on Mars isn’t trivial, it is much easier and safer than bringing the crew back to Earth” (para. 2), due to not having the resources needed at this time to bring them back safely. Mars One (2012) “will provide the first and subsequent water, food, and oxygen by mining sources from Mars’ soil and atmosphere” (para. 2). These people volunteering for this mission are making one of the biggest sacrifices possible for advancement in knowledge and science. Mars One (2012) stated, “All components required to complete the mission can currently be built by existing suppliers” (para.3). Mars One estimates the cost to send the first four people to be at six billion US dollars. That cost is for hardware combined, plus the operational expenditures, plus margins. For every next mission Mars One estimates the cost at four billion US dollars. Mars One (2012) “To finance this mission Mars One will create an international media event around the project. They will share their experiences as they build their new homes, conduct experiments, and explore. The mission itself will provide scientific and social...

...the moon is putting one on Mars. The planet is the closest rock possibly capable of sustaining life and has been a huge subject of debate since the 1960s. Mars captivates the imagination, with many books and movies trying to guess or dream about what life there might be like. But before those dreams become reality, there are many advancements in science that need to take place, just as there were in the Space Race. This project will be intense, but like the Space Race, which brought us incredible advancements such as duct tape, GPS, and cell...

...torical Analysis “Can Life Exist on Other Planets” Professor Danny Faulkner is the speaker in his article “Can Life Exist on Other Planets” and it summarizes the evolution of life on Earth and how we would need liquid water the gold standard to live and thrive on another planet. Faulkner’s purpose is to propose the idea of life on other planets by providing information of the evolution on Earth, searching for life on Mars, the need for liquid water, and the planets in our solar system's attributes. He acknowledges an informative tone to provide information of life existing on other planets for the audience. Faulkner begins to explain the broad definition of abiogenesis, the spontaneous appearance of life from a nonliving matter. He implies “if life did arise on Earth by itself, it would be inconceivable that this is the only planet upon which there is life”(Faulkner 7-8). He describes life on Earth as abiogenesis. If Earth were the only place that held life it would be a very “special” place; the definitive response from Faulkner suggests the evolution of life on Earth would support life on other planets. According to Lloyd Bitzer, exigence used for this article is that if life was found on other planets than ours. We would have a portion of people wanting to destroy...

...By: Garrett Williams, Tyrone Dudley, and Denise Mantro Living on another planet By: Garrett Williams, Tyrone Dudley, and Denise Mantro Living on another planet The Mission As a group we decided to focus on Project B: Living on Another Planet. Since this idea has been researched and extensively theorized by NASA’s finest, we felt that this topic would be interesting since it may be obtainable within our lifetime. What would it take to live on another planet? What would we need to survive, to thrive, and to be comfortable on our new “alien” planet? We chose not to present the question “How do we get there?” since that question brings up an infinite amount of theories that Scientist and Physicist alike are still trying to overcome. Which planet would we want to live on? We chose a moon proven to have liquid water under its surface, Enceladus. With other living options out there like Mars, or Titan (one of Saturn’s larger moons) we chose in our opinion one of the least taxing and more accommodating locations. Where and Why Enceladus? Enceladus is a one of the Saturn’s moons. Enceladus measures about 500 km (310 miles) in diameter. It has an orbit cycle of 33hrs around Saturn .It is the brightest of Saturn’s moons and currently the only known moon in our solar system to have a surface comprised of pure water ice. It also has many active regions that shoot plumes of water ice from its surface high above toward Saturn. This is important to note because this creates...

...Report 4 – Living on Another Planet Transportation systems: Engineers have many design considerations and restraints when developing transportation systems and vehicles for Mars. The amount of dust on the planet will affect mechanical systems. Vehicles on Mars that have to go long distances will need to be pressurized. Rovers for planetary exploration are in development. Rovers for surface science and geology will also be needed, this design is for a drilling and exploration vehicle. In order to support multiple mission requirements, the system is modular and multi-configurable. The main structural aspects of the design are: 1) an inflatable habitat module. 2) Independently powered and remotely controllable wheel trucks to allow multiple configurations and ease of system assembly. 3) Parabolic space trusses for high structural stability with low overall system mass. In addition to these design aspects, new and existing concepts for control systems, power, radiation protection, and crew safety have been incorporated into the transportation system design. This system is designed around the principle of maximum flexibility while maintaining minimal weight and minimal power requirements. Life support systems are critical to a Martian colony. Colonies will need to be self-sufficient and to use what scientists call a bio-regenerative life support system. A bio regenerative life support system will perform all of the basic functions of a life support system based on natural regenerative...

...Selfishness Are you aware of the meaning of true love when the money and the power are sitting comfortably in your hands? In the song “When I was your Man” by Bruno Mars, he expresses his regret of putting aside a loyal woman. Serving him as a lesson learned, he found the true meaning of appreciation of a good woman. Bruno Mars expresses the consequences of his decisions. Unfortunately, his choices threw away an opportunity that was standing at his door step. This song conveys situations in which Bruno Mars could have done more than he did. Throughout “When I was your Man,” he is continually stating things he once took for granted. Therefore forcing him to love and live without her. Bruno Mars shares his depressive mental state of regret using symbolism, irony and metaphor. Bruno Mars states, “I am in a situation right now, when you write a depressing song because you are in a dark place; you are bleeding in front of people talking about this personal experience. I have never felt anything like that before and I am going through it now.” He sings from the heart and personal experiences, as an artist you have to be able to connect with the lyrics. Mentioning that singing fairytales and lying in his lyrics was not what he was into doing. In fact, his uses of symbolism help him express his sincere regret. Bruno Mars is able to lyrically connect the abstract idea to his mood. He portrays a mental image to listeners of the loneliness that overwhelms him when he realized she was...
