This mission to Mars will be for the welfare of the many generations of our human race, primarily for the children who will have the choice to live on Mars or Earth. This will enrich our race with resources and education, giving a better affinity of understanding for our home planet, as well as Mars. As the human population on Earth continues to exponentiate, the need for a second home planet is becoming increasingly dire. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this mission is that it will be an international collaboration of research, uniting entire countries through the aspiration of reaching the stars!
Inside the rover named MM33 four artificially intelligent robots will serve as the crew members, this will eliminate issues with providing oxygen, and food to the crew members. It will also allot for the establishment of a ground base for humans to come later and decrease many unforeseen risks.

On Mars, the Curiosity has discovered evidence supporting the idea that there may be ice deep under the surface. The rover will have an extensive laboratory onboard, as well as instrumentation to begin all initial projects. For example, tools for the drilling and extraction of water, peripherals designed for the collection and storage of any samples found, as well as pneumatic tools to be used for the construction of the greenhouse. All surface operations will be carried out by the A.I. robots in collaboration with MM33, and will be programmed with an extensive aptitude of their individual tasks, and conditions on
Why We Should go to Mars “It was obvious to me that we could never colonize Mars without reusability, any more than America would have been colonized if they had to burn the ships after every trip,”(Dave, 2017). This is what Elon Musk said in an interview in Fortune Magazine on December 9th 2013. The fourth planet in our solar system, Mars, is the closest “Earth-like” planet, Which is why SpaceX, NASA, and many other organizations are trying to make a human trip to Mars possible, as well as learning many things about Mars and Earth at the same time. Mars has a lot of potential to be a habitable planet to continue the human race.
Who knows what kind of opportunities can come from Mars? We can use the many resources that have already been found on this planet, it could help us in many ways beyond space exploration, and it could even be a new place for us to live. That’s why I believe that the government should fund space exploration to Mars.
For this purpose, in the past century, scientists have sent several probes and experimental vehicles to the Red Planet to prove that there is a possibility of life on Mars. In the 1960s and 1970s, US Vikings and Soviet Mars probes were sent by scientists and reached Mars. Data from the Viking landers proves that there were water molecules present on the planet. The experimental vehicle, Curiosity, was sent to Mars to prove that these water molecules actually came from lakes, streams or rivers. The Sojourner, a wheeled robot vehicle, was sent to Mars in 1997 and shows plains that look like they were destroyed by floods. This twenty five pound rover took over three hundred thirty feet...
The idea of space exploration and/or colonizing in outer space is fascinating to many people. In fact, it has intrigued societies for decades. The book, “The Martian” by Andy Weir, is a fictional story that presents the possibility of manned space exploration to Mars. Although, no country has sent a manned spacecraft to Mars, Weir does an excellent job making this task seem like a reality. He seemed to portray space travel accurately. The story presents problems, mathematical, scientific, and sociological, in such a way that draws the reader into the dilemmas of the characters without the reader doubting the accuracy or probability of the situation (Weir 18-20). The manner in which the author does this indicates that he either has a scientific
Information about space nasa curiosity is a robotic rover that landed on mars in 2012. Since then, curiosity has been roaming mars, collecting data and looking for signs of microbial life. In this interview, astrophysicist neil degrasse tyson discusses the curiosity mission and the possibility of people traveling to mars.
The sky is illuminated by the sun, only the size of our moon this far out. The red dust swirls with a gust of wind and your movements are slowed by the weight of your spacesuit. Your progress across the barren desert toward the compound that houses the plants you and your companions need to survive is slow but by now, four months into your new life, you have become used to it. Just eleven months ago you left Earth and started your journey toward what is now your home, the red planet of our solar system, Mars. The year is 2027 and you can’t believe you arrived here at last.
MARTIAN Every time a space movie comes out that involves NASA and other world space agencies, I have the same thought: In recent years, we’ve somehow lost our sense of wonder about space flight — about the fact that we, as a species, are regularly sending human beings off the planet entirely. And, ideally, bringing them back. And that, of course, is the story at the heart of the movies The Martian and The Right Stuff , the terrific new science-fiction film from director Ridley Scott, opening today in theaters.
While many look to Mars as the best hope, others feel it poses too many challenges and that humanity needs more than one chance at a new start. These people are building a large space station in orbit around Earth intended for . A small crew is sent out to set up a colony on another planet. The major topics of research will be space habitability and the effects of long term space flight. There are many challenges to setting up a colony on Mars.
The recent events regarding the NASA Mars probes have renewed the debate of reinstalling manned space missions with the objectives of exploring and landing on foreign worlds such as the moon and the red planet Mars, rather than the use of solely robotic craft and machines. It is my belief that we should return to the days of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, those of manned lunar landings and manned space exploration. Robots simply cannot and should not be allowed to be the sole means of visiting these worlds, nor should humans only be able to witness new findings second hand through the use of computers and machines. It is human nature to be normally curious of one’s surroundings, and it is important that we send one of our own to new worlds. The effects that past missions have had on the world’s people, as well as our political and cultural climates are another valid reason for flesh instead of metal to lay claim to space. Also, the limitless applications and new education that manned flights can bring to us from on site human interactions could lead to another technological and industrial revolution like the original lunar programs had done for us during the Gemini and Apollo programs.
1. Organisational processes, systems and structures Mars, Incorporated is the third private enterprises in the United States with net sales of more than $33 billion. Their main business involves Petcare, Chocolate, Wrigley, Food, Drinks, Symbioscience, and there are more than 75,000 Associates worldwide that are putting its Principles into action to make a difference for customers and the society through its performance. The history of Mars Inc has two major axis. One is innovation, the other is to promote the successful experience of innovation to the world.
Though there are benefits to exploring Mars, the risks taken are all too much. Multiple things could go wrong and lives could be at stake. The whole journey could turn upside down and things beyond our control could go the opposite direction. This entire process could also drain a human as if they were climbing Mount Everest. Even though the most convenient and reliable place to search for direct evidence of life beyond earth is Mars, the chance of receiving anything beneficial is unlikely.
Humans can expect to face some major challenges on an expedition to Mars. It has been proven that humanity can travel in space for over two years. Cumulatively, Sergei Constantinovich Krikalev, a Russian cosmonaut, has spent over eight-hundred and three days in Earth orbit (Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, 2005). The expedition to Mars would require the crew to endure a six month journey to the planet, a year of living on the planet, and a six months journey back to Earth. Russian cosmonaut, Valery V. Polyakoz, clocking in at four-hundred and thirty-eight days for just one stay in Earth orbit, shows humanity is capable of a twelve month round trip to Mars (Schwirtz, 2009).
Mars? Technology has opened for us more than the human mind could have ever im-agined. Steven Shaviro, founder of Wired Maga-zine, coined the term “technium”, the technology body that circulates omni-presently . Humans are heavily reliant on technol-ogy. We use it to go from one place to another, communicate, check the weather...
