In making the case for sending humans to explore Mars in the near future. President Bush has proposed a grand multi-billion dollar long-term project. A project‚ to this author‚ is well worth the money. To start off‚ I will list off a few of my reasons that I will describe more specifically later in this article. First of all‚ the price tag of 170 billion dollars could easily be reduced by extensive research of more energy and cost efficient technology in the 26 years to come before we actually launch

Mission Mars The Extraction of Carbon Dioxide from Martian Regolith A Simulation Experiment One of the most critical stages of terraforming is the establishment and maintenance of a stable atmosphere with an appropriate availability of gases necessary for life and its processes. These gases are already available on Mars‚ but they are trapped in regolith or permafrost. The Extraction of Carbon Dioxide from Martian Regolith A Simulation Experiment Terraforming is the procedure of developing

Mars (Greek: Ares) Mars (Greek: Ares) is the god of War. The planet probably got this name due to its red color; Mars is sometimes referred to as the Red Planet. (An interesting side note: the Roman god Mars was a god of agriculture before becoming associated with the Greek Ares; those in favor of colonizing and terraforming Mars may prefer this symbolism.) The name of the month March derives from Mars.The first spacecraft to visit Mars was Mariner 4 in 1965. Several others followed including Mars

Colonization of Mars What does a planet need to have in order to support life? Earth is unique in our solar system because it is the only planet that is supporting life. Some scientists go so far as to say that the Earth is a “perfect planet” because it has features that are the perfect environment for living organisms; these features include our atmosphere‚ water‚ and a single moon. Earth is also in a place in our solar system where the Sun gives off the right amount of energy to drive the

Colonizing Mars Many scientists believe that humanity has a date with extinction if we do not try to expand our horizons. It took about 4.5 billion years for mankind to evolve into the intelligent beings we see when we look in the mirror. For this very reason scientists believe that mankind would make a grave mistake if we do not put forth a dedicated effort in saving humanity. There are many concerns that are facing mankind in attempting to colonize space and other planets. However

One of the most explored planets in our solar system is Mars. Scientists are exploring Mars’s surface using rovers‚ robotic devices that take pictures and samples. Mars is sometimes referred to as the Red Planet due to its reddish appearance of iron oxide. Mars has surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes‚ valleys‚ deserts‚ and polar ice caps of Earth. Frozen ice has been spotted on Mars by scientists who suspect that there has been water on the surface
