Mars, also known as the “Red Planet”, is Earth’s closest neighbor, which is 225 million kilometers away. A trip to Mars would take 4-6 months. If a trip to Mars is successful as planned, the human would face many different challenges, and troubles. A number of troubles include that they would have to wear a full body suit because Mars's atmosphere is too thin, nevertheless humans would also face the possibility of running low on supplies, while it is possible to grow food with the soil on Mars (desolate)

Mar Adentro Ramón Sampedro, un tetrapléjico que pasó casi treinta años de su vida solicitando su derecho a morir dignamente. Este caso causó gran conmoción en el mundo; su devenir activó los debates sobre la eutanasia en España y el mundo. Ramón Sampedro nació en Xuño, Puerto del Son, el 5 de enero de 1943; a la edad de 25 años sufrió un accidente: cayó en el agua desde una roca y la marea había bajado. El choque de la cabeza contra la arena le produjo la fractura de la séptima vértebra cervical

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

“Mars is there, waiting to be reached.” This quote, said by Buzz Aldrin, shows that he is all for the mission to Mars, however it is dangerous to all mankind. I believe a trip to Mars is physically dangerous and societally terrifying, therefore the manned mission to Mars is bad idea. Unmistakably, the idea of sending people to Mars is physically dangerous for them. First, the mission would take a turn for the worst when it comes to keeping the astronauts alive. For example, the temperature is too

Throughout human history, Mars has always intrigued and provoked the deepest human curiosity, luring us as human beings towards the with mysterious planet. Human beings have been pushing themselves to the limit of possibilities, and they always strive for the grandeur of achievements. Mars stands out in the skies as indicators of human traits: to understand, to achieve, and to imagine. Although Mars has been seen by the earliest humans, we still know nothing about our closest neighbor, and it has

Mars Exploration Rover and Kepler Space Telescope May Prove Existence of Extraterrestrial Life On September 28, NASA’s mars exploration rover, Opportunity, made a ground-breaking discovery, finding evidence of water on Mars. The rover found small spheres of the minerals hematite and jarosite. On earth, hematite generally forms from water, and jarosite in the presence of water. Opportunity also captured images of layers on rocks, generally formed by water erosion. Evidence of water on the Red Planet

New Mars Chocolate Factory in Kansas Earlier in July, Mars Incorporated announced plans of building a brand new “state-of-the-art”, 350,000 square feet chocolate manufacturing facility in Topeka, Kansas - the first Mars Chocolate site built in the U.S. in thirty-five years. The new facility, which Mars expects will be completed by late 2013, is expected to create over 1,000 jobs for Kansas residents, according to the company’s estimates.

MISSION TO MARS Nearly two decades after the Viking was successfully launched and put in Mars, NASA were ready to launch their second major mission to Mars with Mars Observer (MO) at a cost of nearly 1 billion dollars and more than a decade of preparation. This was a complete disaster after the controllers lost contact with the spacecraft three days prior to its deceleration into Mars’ Orbit. The losses incurred were of gigantic proportions and NASA could not afford any more failures. This made

In the late 20th century, we began to explore Mars. These studies were not conducted through a telescope, but the much more advanced technology of interplanetary probes. In 1964, lead by multiple prior failures, two unmanned missions to Mars, the Mariner 3 and 4, were launched. The Mariner 3, was a battery-powered spacecraft designed to make scientific measurements of, and to obtain photographs of the planet's surface and transmit these to Earth. The mission was predicted to last about 8 months

there alien life on Mars? This tired, old question has been thrown around every scientific circle one can imagine and it has certainly come a long way. It started out as a mere idea. Perhaps an inspiration for scientists to haplessly ponder upon or the idea for some Sci-Fi novel. Now, that question is too close to being answered. NASA has come so far and now, they are just a few strategic steps away to giving us the news we all want to hear. NASA KNOWS THAT LIFE ONCE EXISTED ON MARS What NASA does
