Mars One Project Research Paper

639 Words3 Pages

From creating the very first telescope to taking a picture of the entire solar system from 6 billion kilometers away, humanity has made tremendous progress involving space exploration. Some people predict that the 21st century will be an age of religion, the age of robots, the age of the destruction of mankind, but I have much larger plans for the future. I believe that it is human 's destiny to explore and expand all throughout our solar system, and even beyond.
There is no ignoring the fact that humanity is advancing its knowledge of space at an extremely rapid pace. Such a rapid pace, that if mankind were to survive even one fourth of the age of the earth, the timeline from 1610, where the first telescopic view of the night sky was observed, …show more content…

A trip to Mars is already being planned out and put into motion. The Mars One Project is an organization of people aspiring to land the first group of astronauts on mars by 2027. They have been training qualified volunteers to take this one trip journey to Mars and to live there. I believe that it is very attainable that humans can indeed eventually live on mars, and I have the utmost faith in the success of this mission. It exhilarates me that these discoveries will be carried out while I am still alive to see them, and I look forward to seeing the outcome of this project. Also, NASA has discovered that Mars was indeed capable of carrying water within lakes during a period of time. This raises the idea that if Mars did once carry water on its surface at one time, then water could possibly be brought back to its surface again for the use of people. So many new traits are being surfaced about the planet of Mars, and it seems like it is the next destination for humans in the near future. I strongly predict that after Mars, we will move onto the next planet, and then the planet after

    Some of the greatest mysteries known to mankind exist outside of our planet. These mysteries are also the most challenging to solve. The curiosity of what lies beyond on our planet existed long before the technology or resources were available to research these questions, so prehistoric humans would develop theories to explain what they could see, being the moon, stars, and planets. Globally, every country has spent an extreme amount of money, resources, and time to research and explore our universe to begin answering these questions. The United States and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, commonly known as NASA, began in 1958 and since then has been responsible for the study and engineering behind all american space exploring

  • Fermi's Paradox Galbraith

    920 Words  | 4 Pages

    Galbraith mentioned Fermi’s Paradox, which instantly peaked my interest. He described it as a theory stating there are billions of stars in our universe, and eventually different planets started to develop, so their must be other planets like Earth out there somewhere. The question is why haven’t we found them. Galbraith mentioned that because we have had trouble with sustainability outside of our own atmosphere, maybe other Earth-like planets are in the same boat as we are. This paradox got me thinking about space travel, and if we will be able to visit other planets like Earth one day.

  • Mars Curiosity Rover: Mars More Like Earth Than Ever

    161 Words  | 1 Pages

    The latest data from the Mars Curiosity Rover suggests that Mars had a continental crust similar to the one Earth has. Researchers analyzed data collected with the rover’s ChemCam instrument (short for Chemistry and Camera) and determined that the composition of the rocks on Mars was reminiscent of Earth’s crust. Mars More Like Earth Than Ever The new evidence from the Mars Curiosity Rover supports the notion that many scientists have held lately, that Mars was once much more like Earth than previously thought. Because of what researchers had previously known of the Martian surface, that it was covered in dark igneous rocks similar to the ones that make up the underwater crust of the Earth, Mars was thought of as being a basaltic planet.

    Colonizing Mars Mars is often voted by people as being the most likely place for humans to colonize after we are done with Earth. This is often said because of Mars’s similar size to Earth and similar climate. However, Mars might not be the best place to go when we decide to make our first extra-terrestrial home. Whether you believe we should colonize another planet or not, evidence proves that moving to Venus is both logical and cost effective. There is much more promise in visiting Venus and much more we can learn.

They were planned to send five missions in five separate locations but turns out that the third mission, Ares 3, failed in six SOLs (amount of time light has been exposed on the surface, basically a Mars day) due to a sandstorm that caused an evacuation. The main character is the Ares 3 astronaut named Mark Watney who was abandoned on Mars during the evacuation. His goal is simply to survive, but that can’t be easy.
