Thanks to Mars One people can now potentially be able to go to Mars. Although this could be amazing, it’s highly dangerous.This mission could most likely end up a disaster; the harmful environment, medical threats, and struggle of getting food and water, could change everyone’s minds of going. One of the many dangers on Mars is the environment there. The glacial cold temperatures there can drop to -100 degrees Fahrenheit.That’s as bleak as Antarctica! Since there is not much water vapor, Mars has a motionless ice cover that stays there forever. Another environmental insecurity is the perilous dust storms. During these monumental storms people can’t use solar energy, and are not able to use anything solar charged. There is so much dust on Mars that if there is a huge storm, the dust could get into suits or plug up machinery. In some occasions, astronauts could suck in the venomous smoke and could possibly get ill or die because of it.Overall, The environment on Mars is way too noxious to send people up there. …show more content…
In mid flight, you could get awful motion sickness, or your ears could become damaged because of the rambunctious noises produced by the flight there. As a result, motion sickness could make you feel like vomiting and the horrible noises on the rocket could make you become deaf. Another medical risk of going to Mars is the cosmic radiation.The cosmic radiation that could happen on Mars could be deadly to astronauts and machinery. In addition, anyone who suddenly becomes zapped by these rays could slowly develop mental problems or have major brain damage occur. Also,cosmic rays that form from exploding stars can also destroy your skull. Overall, some medical issues caused by the Mars One mission could play a huge role in the
Mars, the god of war and princess Rhea Silvia are the parents of twin boys named Remus and Romulus. Their father Mars was afraid that someday his children would overthrow him and take his throne. To prevent this, he sent the twins down the Tiber River thinking they would soon die. Mars was wrong, instead they were found by a wolf, the wolf raised them until a shepard found them and took them from the wolf, the shepherd raised them as his own. As the boys grew up they became natural leaders. One day Remus was captured by the king, during this time he learned the truth about him and his brother, Romulus came and killed the king alongside his brother. When word got out about Remus and Romulus they were offered for both of them
Since Mauna Loa is so far away from cities and people, it cannot put you in risk of dying. If you look at the statistics, you can see that Mauna Loa has never killed anybody and had a death toll of zero, until today, which would go down in Mauna Loa
Space travel is both fascinating and terrifying. The mystery of outer space captivates nearly all children and many adults. Neil Armstrong’s first words from the moon are iconic and will forever be engrained in the history of mankind. With the end of the Space Shuttle program many people have wondered if America’s space travels are coming to a close. Is space travel going to become a thing of the past? Kim Stanley Robison believes that the future of space travel, specifically an interplanetary mission to Mars, is not only fascinating, but necessary. In his short essay, “Why We Should Go to Mars”, Mr. Robinson starts with acknowledging that reasons for a mission to Mars “range from good to bad to terrible” (Robinson). He defines the range of common arguments which he believes are outlandish and seems to be wholly against the idea. His tone quickly changes as he presents what, in his opinion, are not only good but the best reasons as to why a Mars mission is not only a good idea, but a needed one.
Everyone has dreamed of going to outer space at some point. We have all daydreamed about it, but now in the real tough and harsh world, is a mars mission really practical? I say yes 100%. The benefits most definitely outway the risks because; mars missions use only a fraction of the federal budget, it creates jobs, and inspire competition for many people.
Mars would be a challenging place for humans to live because of its dry conditions (lack of water) and cold temperatures. The frequent sandstorms and dust devils whipping across the surface of the planet would also make human existence difficult. Scientists believe that Mars had a think atmosphere in the past. They also think Mars was warmer and may have once contained liquid water.
Did Mars ever mirror Earth? I would like to start this discussion by defining the term “mirrored,” as being a like or characteristic of a mirror image. So for proposes of this discussion I will use this definition meaning it is in a resemblance and not a direct copy of one another. Now with all the formalities out of the way let’s move on. After spending a small portion of my life reading through papers about Mars Geology I have come to the conclusion that Mars does in fact have supporting evidence that it was once a mirrored planet of Earth. Or better said, Earth is a current mirror image of Mars in the past. In the paragraphs below I will support this claim with evidence from research findings, papers, and photographs. It will also be structured as so, interior, magnetic field, atmosphere, plate tectonics, volcanoes, and water.
Space has lots of radiation. Exposure to space radiation can have a bad effect on a person’s health. Support C: Travelling and exploring space can actually endanger the life of an astronaut. THIRD POINT:
A manned mission to mars is too dangerous. First, it's cold. For instance, the average temperature is -61 degrees Fahrenheit. Since, it’s too cold it’s dangerous. Second, earth’s gravity harms the human body. For example, bones and muscles get weaker and the body produces less blood. Since, your bones and muscles get weaker and the body produces less blood this shows you that a manned mission to mars it too dangerous. Third, traveling is dangerous. For instance, traveling in a spaceship because minimeterorites can kill you. Since, minimeterorites can kill you this tells you that it's way too dangerous. In conclusion, a manned
Using NASA's, Space Radiation Cancer Risk Projections and Uncertainties, a model of risk and uncertainties; NASA predicted that central estimates for radiation-induced mortality and morbidity could exceed 5% and 10% with upper 95% confidence interval near 10% and 20%, respectively for a Mars mission. NASA's radiation standard limits astronaut exposures to a 3% risk of exposure induced death at the upper 95% confidence interval of the risk estimate (Cucinotta et al. 42-67). Although the radiation levels on Mars are less than expected, it’s possible Mark would have considerably increased
While Mars may seem like a good option for expanding the human race, mankind is not ready to go. Mars has too many risks that we need to further investigate before people are sent there. Laurie Vasquez, author of "Could Humans Actually Live on Mars?" Provides insight on the pros and cons of traveling the red planet: "Solar flares can represent short term hazards for crews heading to Mars and on the surface of the planet" (Vasquez). These hazards include increased exposure to radiation, resulting in possible neuron damage and an inevitable increased risk of cancer. While the effects can be lessened by current technology, the health risk is still too great to send people to Mars. While the red planet may seem like a good option for expanding
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.
One of these concerns is the solar radiation. Since the astronauts are in deep space for around 500 days, they are at risk of solar radiation and its harmful effects on humans, nevertheless, Mars' magnetic field will protect the astronauts from the solar radiation and new technology for solar radiation protection in deep space is being tested on the ISS. Another major concern is the long-term effect of Mars gravity and zero gravity in space. While this concern is meaningful, companies such as Zero Gravity Solutions are working on finding ways to help the astronauts. Also, with proper care, the astronauts will not experience the possible symptoms of zero gravity.
The pursuit of knowledge is a noble goal, but before fully committing to long-term space exploration, we must use all of the knowledge we currently have to determine if it is safe to do so. The economic benefits are clear and many, however the ecologic consequences are far more important. We do not yet have enough information about the long-term implications of space exploration, both on our planet and the rest of space, but before we continue is is important that we preserve the space in which we are exploring as well as our planet.
Earth has become quite a sick planet and soon will not be able to support us. Earth is turning into chaos and it’s making people want to leave. The Earth is becoming dangerously warm resulting in changing climates, rising sea levels and it puts wildlife at risk. We have been going crazy with the natural resources to the point where their becoming dangerously low and lacking. The Earth is very over populated, we have went extremely over the maximum capacity level and the Earth cannot support all of us. There are also good reasons people want to leave to Mars. People want a more ecofriendly life where there’s no pollution and you can have a fresh start on a healthier life. There’s land on Mars, land we need to fix this overpopulation issue. Moving to Mars means letting Earth recover so maybe we could move back after hundreds of years to a healthy Earth. There are many benefits to moving to Mars and here’s my expert plan to achieve it.
... The problem with the gravity of Mars is that weightlessness can make you sick. Meaning that because humans are so adapted to the conditions here on Earth, such a drastic change will make them sick. Adaptation will have to occur, meaning that the stations on Mars might have to somehow mimic the conditions of Earth.
