National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched two similar twin robotic rovers, which were Spirit and Opportunity toward Mars on 10 June and 7 July 2003 (NASA 2012). Spirit and Opportunity landed in Gusev Crater on 4 January 2004 and in Meridiani Planum on 25 January 2004 respectively (NASA 2012). Opportunity is still operating and roving after 10 years on the Martian surface while final communication of Spirit to the Earth took place on 22 March 2010, which is around six years into
planet more fascinating to us than our closest neighbor, Mars. This fascination is reasonable, because Mars seems to be one of the very few places in our solar system that holds the capabilities to support current or ancient life forms. With the launch of The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s [NASA] Mars Rovers Spirit and Opportunity on July 7, 2003 mankind had taken a major step forward for the exploration of the surface of Mars. Not only have the two rovers greatly surpassed their 90-day
Earth, not to dwell on Mars. Five planets in the night sky are visible with the naked eye—Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury. Named after the Roman gods, these celestial bodies have been observed since the earliest of time. Associating the reddish color with the bloodshed of war, the Romans named the fourth planet from the sun after their god of war—Mars. The search for the life on this planet has cost billions of dollars, and scientists have focused so much on Mars because it is the only
MARS ROVER By: Peyton Priest & Robert Hollman The Mars Rover is an AMV (Automated Motor Vehicle). NASA uses landers and rovers. Rovers have several advantages over the landers. They can examine more territory, they have a lot more interesting features, and they can be in any kind of weather. The mars rover launched towards mars on June 10th, 2003. NASA wanted to learn more about the history of water on Mars. Two of them were launched. They landed on January 3rd, and 24th, 2004. This mission
every day, company such as NASA now how a huge budget, over 20million (Table 2 Full yearly NASA spending) and are researching new ways to get to space. With advances such as the mars rover which is currently collecting information on mars, and the first man on the moon in a few decades we might be able to send a man to mars. Currently NASA are trying to develop a system of growing food in space. The biggest problems is gravity, of course you can’t use soil as it can move and might float out of the
1.0 Introduction Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, and considering the vast expanse of the universe, Mars is only a mere 49 million miles from Earth (All About Mars). Mars has been the object of many speculative questions and hypotheses, such as the possibility of life ever existing on Mars. Over the years, many have wondered if Mars ever sustained life, or if not, if it were possible to one day sustain life, i.e. Humans. There have been many missions to Mars in an attempt to answer those

Summary: Concerns have been raised about the accuracy of the statistical interpretation of DNA evidence. When genetic profiles of suspects and offenders are generated in a laboratory from a few skin cells left at a crime scene, the accuracy of the data is called to question. This type of evidence—touch DNA—can be unreliable since; an innocent person’s DNA can be inadvertently
Andy Weir’s The Martian portrays the highly deadly and dangerous life on Mars. Mark Watney is on the planet Mars on a NASA mission with other astronauts, but like any good book, something unexpected happens. Mark is stranded on Mars with no crew and no communication. He’s alone. Well, he has the HAB of course. The HAB is like a house on Mars; it’s where the astronauts stay when they are not out exploring the surface. Andy Weir is an amazing artist of a writer who paints a picture in the reader’s
In today’s world, nothing is impossible when it comes to technology, but one can see some of the advantages and disadvantages of science and technology throughout Jekyll and Hyde and modern day baseball.

known as pasteurella pestis, causes severe illness but more commonly death upon infection unless implanted with antibiotics,” (Sutyak). This bacteria spread quickly. ‘On average, bacteria can double every 4-20 minutes,” (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory). That means that when one person was infected, during the day 72 others could be infected if the rate was one person every 20 minutes. If the rate was one person every 4 minutes, there could be 360 people infected in a day. That rate is extremely
Astronaut Mark Watney is stuck on Mars and has nowhere to go. The situation is dire, and his time is running out. Mark used to be happy on Earth, but that’s not the case anymore. Mark and his team get seperated in a tragic accident, and Mark is left on Mars. Isolated, Mark is stranded on Mars and has no way of getting out. The Martian is a interesting book that is as interesting as the author. The book executes Sci-Fi well with cool real life facts and implements humor very nicely to make readers
knowledge in both the arts and the natural sciences. Discuss. As our quality of life improves, we start to focus on our environment and other beings/organisms. During this process of focusing on other things, we encounter more and more ethical problems. This leads to the knowledge issue, to what extend does ethics limit a knowers’ acquisition of knowledge? Over time these ethical judgments lead to limited knowledge production, especially in the arts and natural sciences. Ethical decision can be made due to
sending a manned missions to Mars. The missions to Mars will hopefully take place in 2030. Many steps are still need in order for the Mars exploration to be a success. “NASA officials have said they hope to eventually set up a small outpost on the Red Planet, where astronauts would search for signs of Mars life and perform other research” (Wall Space.com). The knowledge taken for the Maars expeditions will help NASA with other advancements in technology. Once Mars is successfully colonized many

confusion is unbearable, while the humans are showing no sympathy. All of the pain and suffering is caused because they want to enhance the way they look. Animal testing has been around and used for centuries, but the human race has advanced extremely in science since that time, so there is no logical reason to continue the testing of animals. Animal experimentation should be eliminated because animals have feelings, the experiments are inhumane, the results are unreliable, it is wasting tax money, and there

scared. You don’t have a choice of what you eat, where you live, or how you are treated. You are unsure if it is day or night or what will happen to you next. You are locked away in a prison cell and you committed no crime. This is the life of a laboratory animal. Animal testing is the use of animals for scientific research purposes and experiments. It can be used for the findings of cures and medicines to testing new drugs, to understanding the behavioral psychology of the animals themselves. “Around
Introduction Each year in USA laboratories more then 100 million animals are burned, poisoned and lamed (Top 5 Shocking Animal Experimentation Facts). Each year scientists use animals in order to progress, to improve life of people and animals. However, many testing animals suffer and die. But others do not agree and support the fact that we should use animals because of advance. So what are advantages and disadvantages of using animals? This problem will be researched from different areas such
The Future and History of Space Travel From the moment that mankind even considered the possibilities of space and it's whereabouts, people began to wonder how the future would be like. Would there be people living in space? Would it be possible to reach the moon? The thought of space travel was exciting to people. It had never before been done and the time was right. The Soviet Union was in a race against time with the United States to successfully land a man on the moon. The United States was fortunate
