II. To begin with, Mars One’s budget is far too low and won’t get the funds it needs.…
Right now we are building the most advanced rocket ever.We are planning to use it to send people mars and to get a sample of an asteroid.We are also working on transformative capabilities to help us drive farther into space than ever before.We are going to mature them and teach they how to save lives and create economic growth.We also have a fleet of robots on Mars exploring it right now trying to figure out where the people should go when they go to Mars and many other things.…
According to “Inside the Grand Plan to Send Humans to Mars” Kaite Nodjimbadem’s(2016) claims that persuade the audience give an information about NASA’s grand program by 2030 and the concept of this project using quote an interview with Dava Newman who is NASA’s innovative deputy administrator. In order to this article, the ultimate goal of NASA sends four astronauts to Mars by Orion: the manned spaceship representing the nation’s ambition. This plan is slated in following order. First of all, scientists set to send a robotic spacecraft to assemble surface material samples from an asteroid near the Earth. Next, NASA makes plan to launch Space Launch System and Orion together certain years. Besides, in space, they want to achieve boots on Mars with the self-sustainable condition. In order to deliver her information effectively, the author conveys each strategy of rhetorical appeals.…
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.…
Could the Martians of H.G. Wells’ science fiction classic The War of the Worlds be his projection of humanity evolved? Connections between the physical and emotional nature of the aliens clearly link Martian technology with their soulless ways. Instead of bringing boundless prosperity and happiness, the extreme technological progress of the Martians coupled with thousands of years of evolution has transformed their bodies and destroyed every last vestige of compassion and the ethical that they might have held. These connections suggest a similar fate for mankind.…
The article The Martian Chroniclers a new era of planetary exploration by Burkhard Bilger discusses Earth and Mars known as the “Goldilocks Planets,” this is because Earth and Mars both have the perfect environment for life to be sustained. I was first observed that Mars had evidence that it could sustain life in 1877, by the astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli. Schiaparelli drew a map of mars as an “earthly paradise.” This was because he observed that the planet had what appeared to be continents and water channels on the surface. Although, it was discovered that Mars has less water contents then earth’s driest desert. Nevertheless, because of Mar’s atmosphere and geological environment Mars has the possibly that it can sustain life. NASA has sent many space crafts to explore what is on Mars the first was the Mariner 9 then, Viking 1 and Viking 2, the…
In 1961, the world was changed forever, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin entered the spacecraft Vostok 1 and traveled into space. Following him in the same year, was the American astronaut Alan Shepard in Freedom 7. Then in 1969 the crew of the Apollo 11 mission landed on the Moon. This space race in the 1960s helped to light the fire of man’s interest in outer space and has lead mankind to wonder if we could live away from the comfort and safety of planet Earth. Many scientist and explorers have wondered if it would be possible to colonize the Moon or Mars for the purpose of research, resources, and hopefully a secondary home for the human race. However, many people have also doubted the idea of leaving the safety of planet Earth to explore other options of habitable places. Many argue that space exploration is dangerous and some critics argue that it is using too much money that could…
Since the industrial revolution, countries have been competing against each other to see who is the most advanced in medicine, technology, and education.In 1957, Russia successfully launched the first artificial satellite, this had started the space age and the United States of America and the U.S.S.R. space race. President John F Kennedy delivered the Rice stadium moon speech in hopes of persuading the American people to support NASA’s intention to send a space craft to the moon. Kennedy attempts to do this by the use of syntax and ethos.…
Is the space race really worth it? In a world embroiled in endless problems, starting from rising food and oil prices, poverty, hunger, illiteracy, high infant mortality rate, terrorism to the threat of global warming and climate change, one may question the significance of the world beyond ours. In a state of global political and social instability, is the space race really worth it? Taking into account the 8 millennium development goals, projected to be achieved by 2030 instead of 2015, and the prosperity the achievement of these goals will bring about, the space race does not seem superficial to it. The importance of human lives is irreplaceable. Thus, striving to locate extra terrestrial life forms is not worth the effort; especially when every 3.6…
As is known to all, humans’ enthusiasm and desire to explore the outer space can date back to ancient times. And the Apollo Moon landing, humans’ first voyage to the space, marked a historical moment of human history. After a series of successful aerospace explorations, we have been convinced that human beings will finally be capable to uncover all the mysteries of the space. As the next giant leap for humankind, the Mars One project, if successful, can feedback valuable information about natural resources, environment and so on, enabling us to broaden our science knowledge and deepen our understanding about the unknown world. Moreover, the project will enhance the possibilities of migrating to Mars. Its various natural resources and vast land may contribute to the settlement of current population explosion and energy crisis on the Earth, promoting the living standard of all of…
Space is a strange foreign place that has many mysteries. Humans have looked up at the stars in awe and wonder for as long as we can remember. We dreamt of traveling to space and exploring our universe. We search to see if we are alone in this universe or if there is life elsewhere in the universe. With all these hopes and dreams about space, we still haven’t fully mastered space travel and don’t fully understand the universe. “Mars to Boy” is a short story following a young man, by the name of Nikola, following these dreams. However, this story also explores the idea that as humans we have traveled to and begun colonizing mars. But we don’t want to stop there. After multiple years at mars and mastering travel between the two, a team of scientists…
Humans have dreamed of leaving the earth and traveling space for many years, and up to this day they have taken many steps in the right direction. Yet, with every new frontier they approach, new problems loom over the horizon. Some of these problems arise right here on Earth. Some of the issues have been resolved, such as escaping the forces of gravity to reach outer space. Most of the problems are far more arduous and the solutions need more time to be worked out properly. In “The Coming Schism” by James E. and Alcestis R. Oberg, they posit that humans can colonize space. Humans need to buckle up and build the technology which will help to solve problems that would arise to settle outside earth. The Obergs use comparative strategy that is to use the yardstick of the past to measure future to convince the reader that the colonization of space is possible, if problems such as, communication, cultural conflict and the rejection to space exploration is solved. The solutions to the problem are important for the journey to space, because they all have the potential to disrupt progress.…
In NASA, the Mars science lab rover is acknowledged, over a budget at 2.5 billion dollars. Although Obama’s Fiscal plan for 2013 would incise NASA’s funds from 587 million dollars to 360 million dollars, no quantity of money is worth Mars exploration. Mars is still merely a rocky surface in the midst of no indication of water or active geology. Space exploration is exceptionally expensive to the citizens of the United States; the government could unquestionably use this money to better the country where the people live. Exploration costs millions of dollars which is completely unnecessary to provide the NASA space program.…
“Kids, back in my days, we didn’t have those fancy teleportation devices; getting to places was a transportation problem. I remember very well those times. Cars now had a modern system of using infrared radiation as energy fuel, therefore many began to buy automobiles since the pollution problem was disappearing. Still, the traffic jams were constant and a solution was being researched. This way, public transportation became the axis of travel of the modern man. Nevertheless, as living and health conditions improved, there were still too many humans in the planet that needed to get from one place to another. We never believed at those times that change was very close.…
However, it is too expensive. Moreover, there is almost no one who wants to leave our beautiful earth and live on ugly-looking Mars. Due to its great expenditure, lack of volunteers and adventurers who want to live on other planets, and other inexplicable problems, researchers, scientists and world's learders are losing hope and trying to put an end to the space colonization project before they start the project.…
