Mars is the planet nearest to Earth that we are most likely to explore and send manned missions to. It also is the planet that we have the best chance of finding life on. For both these things water is needed so exploration of Mars by space probes has concentrated on looking for water. Humans have searched for evidence of water on Mars for many years. In 1895 American astronomer Percival Lowell thought that he had seen canals on the surface of Mars. These were disproved as tricks of the

The planet Mars is the fourth farthest planet from the sun. Mars is very similar to our planet‚ but it also contains some different attributes that make it unique. In the past years‚ Mars has increasingly been in the limelight for astronomers as they continue to study the fascinating qualities of Mars‚ more specifically looking to see if life exists on the planet. Although Mars is very close to Earth‚ there is a great amount of unknown history from the planet. Mars was named by the Romans after

is to locate evidence of current of past life underground and to test the ability of Mars to sustain life. Using the research conducted in past‚ current‚ and future Mars missions‚ this mission proposes three questions about Mars that correlate to the Mars Exploration Program (MEP) science goals and guide the mission. 1. Is there a possibility that life is inhabiting below the surface of Mars? 2. Does Mars “have fossils‚ which would lead to the assumption of past life or is this process only

Mars One is sending a rocket with four people in it to Mars in 2022. The mission to Mars takes six months of travel! The trip to Mars is extremely dangerous because one wrong move can easily result in death‚ the rocket will be more than one hundred billion dollars‚ and there are robots that will be picking up information for Mars One. Cosmic radiation doesn’t allow a trip back to earth. It consists of photons (energy about 2.78 Kelvin). On top of those are higher energy particles that are being

Humankind sends its first human expedition to Mars. Because of various legal precedents‚ Valentine Michael Smith‚ the Man from Mars‚ is the inheritor to a vast fortune‚ and because of another precedent known as the Larkin Decision‚ Mike has a claim to legal ownership of the planet Mars. Therefore he has the potential to be massively influential in matters of Earth politics‚ and he is kept under close guard at a hospital by the leader of Earth’s government‚ Secretary General Joseph Douglas.

Mars VS Earth Mars and Earth are both part of the four terrestrial planets that orbit within the inner solar system and are from the same origin. They are both made of rock and metal. Mars has an extremely weak magnetosphere however‚ so probably doesn’t have a liquid metal core. Earth on the other hand does have a liquid metal core‚ which provides its strong magnetosphere. Solar radiation can therefore directly penetrate Mars‚ while Earth can reflect solar radiation. Mars is much further from

Around 2035 NASA astronaut Mark Watney. A botanist and mechanical engineer have been left by his crew stranded on Mars. after the crew of the Ares 3 mission were made to evacuate their landing site in Acidalia Planitia (On Mars) due to a huge dust storm with high-speed winds. Mark was impaled by an antenna during the evacuation and believed dead. The types of language the author used made me more interested in the book because they would appeal to me more because they seemed more scientific. As
