know that a decently large rogue planet will be crashing into Earth in a certain number of years and we cannot do anything to stop this from happening. However, we do have the ability to terraform a planet. If we could also move humanity to either Mars or Venus, which one should we go for and why? Hi Jessica! Interesting question. To start off, I will define what terraforming is for those who do not know what it means. Terraforming refers to the hypothetical process of modifying a planet or other

Events on Mars would have transpired differently if Gallinger had stopped to question his assumptions more. Perhaps the Martian population may not have been saved from extinction, he may have come across the prophecy earlier, and he might not have even brought the prophecy to light at all. If Gallinger had stopped to analyze Braxa’s feelings for him the Martian population may not have been saved. That night when Braxa entered his room, her attention and fascination with Gallinger, along with her

planet Mars. About 16 million years ago, the collision of an asteroid with Mars blasted martian rocks in space; Earth’s gravity attracted one of these rocks and it landed in Antarctica. The rock sample from Mars was named ALH84001. Attached to it the scientists found, “fossilized (stone-like) microscopic shapes that strongly resemble living and fossil Earth bacteria” (Nardo 26). It is actually possible that the rock could have contained the bacteria from Mars. The reason is the fact that Mars used

“Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another ("Good Reads", 2015). Dr. Sagan wrote mainly about his studies of the planets Venus and Mars. The two planets were the closest planets to Earth and maybe could tell a historical event about why they are now uninhabitable to humans. Venus had gone through a traumatic greenhouse effect and had scorched the entire planet. Which is too hot for

1. Why has NASA sent recent orbiters to Mars (such as Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) on trajectories that required them to skim through Mars's atmosphere before settling into their final orbits? | | It saves money because the spacecraft uses atmospheric drag to slow down rather than needing to carry enough fuel to slow by firing rocket engines. | | | Each spacecraft also carried a lander, and the lander could only be dropped to the Martian surface when the spacecraft passed through the atmosphere

Mars and its Future. On November 28, 1964, the Mariner 4 spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. After 7 ½ months of flight, Mariner 4 reached the surface of mars and took the first pictures of the Martian planet. Since then we have launched more than 40 spacecrafts to mars, from orbiters that fly by the atmosphere to landers that have been on the surface of Mars (“10 things to know about mars”) . Today we still continue to progressively learn and to explore the
