colony on Mars has begun as I, Robert Holm, lead the colony to a stable beginning. This colony we will call Eden. We have made all the preparations as the Mars orbit around the sun comes in close to the Earth on its own orbit. For a situation as ours, finding a spot at Mars is going to take utilizing the environment around us. The plan is to start out with a few tons of shelf stable food and set up an agriculture center on the colony. As we have identified a large amount of ice water on Mars we will

the fictional and factual about Mars that the work Nasa and others have done exploring Mars and moving it forward into the 2030s. This is a time when NASA astronauts are regularly traveling to Mars and living on the surface to explore. Although the action takes place 20 years in the future, NASA is already developing many of the technologies that appear in the film. Mark Watney is an astronaut who is left on Mars by the Ares crew when a dust storm happens on Mars which is an actual factorial possibility

NASA's twin robot geologists, the Mars Exploration Rovers, launched toward Mars on June 10 and July 7, 2003, in search of answers about the history of water on Mars. They landed on Mars January 3 and January 24 PST, 2004 (January 4 and January 25 UTC, 2004). The Mars Exploration Rover mission is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet. Primary among the mission's scientific goals is to search for and characterize a wide range of rocks

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

The Mars One mission is a mission designed to get humans to Mars by 2027. There will be lots of issues facing the crew though, and one such issue is the geology of the Red Planet. We have reason to believe that the geology is a prime concern and a reason that the mission should not take place. Mars’ geology is much different than Earth’s and consists of lots of obstacles and problems. Geology should make the Mars One mission a no-go because of the danger of volcanoes, the planet’s radiation, the

Mars is a fascinating planet full of interesting surprises. Mars is the 4th planet from the Sun, right after Earth. When Mars is the very closest to Earth it can be only 33.9 million miles from Earth (54.6 million kilometers). This happens every two years and is the best time to send a spacecraft to Mars. Even at its closest point a trip to Mars is 300 days or 10 months. However, when it is the furthest away it’s almost 250 million miles from Earth (401 million km). But on average it is about 140

closer and closer to finally having the ability to visit another planet, many have questioned whether or not, once we can visit Mars, if we should. Whatever one’s position on the topic, one thing can be agreed upon, that sending a manned mission to The Red Planet will be very difficult, and cost an extremely large amount of money and resources. Sending actual live people to Mars is something that is coming closer to a reality, with the chance approaching extremely fast, in the coming years, it must be

Cody Nitz Mars Rovers In the summer of 2003 we sent two rovers to Mars. These rovers where sent to Mars to give NASA a better understanding of the climate and water on Mars. With the technology that the Mars Rovers had it was like we were sending up two geologists. Spirit was the first rover to be sent off to Mars and it left June 10th, 2003 and landed January 3rd, 2004. It would be followed by Opportunity which was sent off on July 7th, 2003 and landed January 24th, 2004. NASA’s original
