A key theme in The Martian by Andy Weir is to persevere through difficult situations, even when you feel that you have no hope. “Of course, I don’t have any plan for surviving four years on one year of food. But one thing at a time here. For now, I’m well fed and have a purpose: fix the damn radio.” -Mark Watney (page 11) This reveals Mark’s ability to take one issue at a time and not give up hope. He knows the odds are against him, but he stays optimistic, tackling issue by issue. “Remember

Living on Mars project By Jason Abraham Mr Selmanoski 04.01.2016 In my Living on Mars project on sketchup, I have included the basic requirements needed for a family of four to be able to live on Mars. I have included all of the mandatory rooms needed and I have added a separate space shuttle landing bay. For my renewable energy source, I have used solar panels on top of the shuttle. Since there is not that much atmosphere on Mars, more of the Suns radiation will come onto Mars so by using solar

but more specifically Mars and Venus. In the first steps it outlines the summary of this unit. The steps that the students have to take in studying these planets are outlined in the objectives. There are three cognitive objectives, one psychomotor, and one affective objective. The students will take this new knowledge of these planets and have to compare and contrast it with each other as well as weather on Earth. They will then have to assemble their own measuring tool for Mars or Venus and then have

Mercury: Surface Geology Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, is covered in craters, like, there are craters everywhere. There's also a lot of dust and boulders all over the place. In short, Mercury is like if you go fill an empty fish tank with rocks and sand, then dig some holes in there. Mercury has a magnetic field that's about 1/100th that of Earth's, it was discovered by Mariner 10, a Muggle space contraption. The field is generated from inside the planet, just like with Earth, as opposed

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

The air on Mars — what there is of it — is leaking away, about half a pound a second sputtering into space, scientists announced on Thursday. The planet’s early atmosphere is thought to have been as thick as or thicker than Earth’s today, and even over the 4.5-billion-year history of the solar system, that slow leak would not explain how it atrophied to its current wisps. But new readings from NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission — Maven, for short — show that when Mars is hit by
