professional organization founded by the above listed members has been deemed the Stalwart Pioneer's Association of Celestial Exploration (S.P.A.C.E. for short). SPACE, founded March 18, 2033 is on a mission to establish a human colony on the planet of Mars. With its headquarters located in the heart of Houston Texas, alongside the NASA space command center, SPACE is currently laying its plans to have the colony established in next 10 years. The program is being funded with federal assistance along with

is a leak, which is solved by burning his hair. The first thing that failed was Mark being left of Mars. This was not the fault of the crew but this brought a lot of challenges for Watney. The first challenge is that Mark does not have enough food. The Ares 3 mission was supposed to last the 6 crew members 31 days. Enough food was provided for each person to last over 50 days. Since he is left on Mars for a much longer period of time, he

Mercury is a very rocky planet. It is heavily cratered and is scattered with boulders and pulverized dust. Mercury has been geologically dead for a long time according astronomers. The planet has no signs of any type of weather such as clouds, rivers, and dust storms. The planet of Mercury closely resembles Earth's Moon. Mercury's surface shows intercrater plains, basins, smooth plains, craters, and tectonic features. Many of the smooth plains located on Mercury seem to be a result from flood volcanism

into account. With exploration and eventually expansion as a top priorities, missions using crew exploration vehicles designed with both safety and reusability in mind are the most efficient ways to develop the space program, and to eventually reach Mars and beyond. Before the start of human colonization, it is important to collect as much information as possible about the environment to give humans the best prospects to adapt swiftly. The best way to accomplish this is sending an exploratory mission

The Martian is an exciting book of survival and witty thinking on Mars. Mark Watney, a botanist and mechanic, is one of six people to go on a mission to Mars. Mark’s team has to leave the planet during a dust storm, and an antenna breaks loose and punctures his spacesuit. Thus begins Mark’s struggle to survive, and to have a good time of it, too. The Martian by Andy Weir has lots of sarcasm and humor in it, as well as complicated math for Mark to complete to figure out how to survive. Andy Weir

from its chemical make up, it was a portion of Mars, also the presence of complex organic molecules and small globules resembles those found on earth. Yet scientists no longer agree that their structures are from microorganisms even though many may disagree. Explorations on Mars’s surface failed to find evidence of life. But in June and July of 2003, two spacecrafts launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration were launched on Mars to explore its surface for signs of life. Much

planets that can harbor life. We picked two of the most popular planets which are Kepler 22b and Europa. They are the best choices for a place to have life exist. Our fourth and final reason was our strongest one. It is the evidence that we found from mars, like the meteorite that had evidence of bacteria life. We believe that the opposing views are going to mainly be that we are crazy. They are going to think that we are going to talk about little green aliens, maybe even talk about UFO sightings

“He’s stuck out there. He thinks he’s totally alone and that we all gave up on him.”(Weir 63) Andy Weir wrote The Martian, and the character Mark Watney has an interesting life. Mark is always struggling and in need of something. However he never gives up, which makes Mark’s life interesting, but not as interesting as Weir’s himself. Weir uses many elements to craft an interesting story, one of which is suspense, but he has an incredible sense of humor as well, and has led a very interesting life

Many scientists believe it would be possible to maintain a permanent human presence on Mars or the Moon. On the other hand, conditions on Venus are so extreme and inhospitable that maintaining a human presence there would be impossible. First, atmospheric pressure at Venus' surface is at least 90 times greater than the pressure at Earth’s surface. This means that a force of 100 kilograms is pressing down on every square centimeter of surface. All spacecraft that have landed on Venus have been crushed

Up until recently, it seems like all the hype surrounding extraterrestrial life in our solar system revolved around Mars. That hype is now being switched over to Pluto, as a new report shows traces of water on the ex-Planet. Using data collected by NASA'S New Horizons spacecraft, scientist were able to create a map that shows large amounts of water ice on the surface. FORGET MARS NASA, IS THERE LIFE ON PLUTO? With NASA's latest maps of higher quality, it sure seems like New Horizons has revealed
