Is There Life on Mars?

In overcoming the challenges along the way of the mission from launching to impact to egress, it has allowed scientists and organisations such as NASA to gather more information about the nature of the Mars, from the climate to the geology of the planet. The outcome and findings of this mission has been a success and influential in the way we explore other planets to find the possibility of past and/or present life on that planet. The rovers had discovered fluid and other deposits on the surface of the planet, which may indicate that life can survive on this planet. The uncovering of these physical environments has shaped the method and processes undertaken on other missions in order to succeed and deliver the necessary answers to the questions of the possibility of life

A question that has been asked for many reasons in the space world: Is there life on other planets? A mission called Curiosity launched in 2011. Curiosity has been on Mars since August.Curiosity’s goal was to find signs of water and see if Mars was suitable for life. The surprising fact on Mars is there is presence of water. One key element was Mars once had habitable conditions and there looks to be ice on the planet. Curiosity has been using a camera to take photos of Mars. It is much like the panoramic camera we have on Earth. Both cameras have the same material incorporated in them and are used for the same purpose.

Mars has ice hidden underground. If scientists are able to heat up Mars to melt the ice it would evaporate into the air. The evaporated ice will create clouds, then it will be able to snow and rain.

In last couple year’s evidence of water on mars has grown exponentially. The geography of Mars suggests that water was once there. This is because they have found runoff channels in the southern highlands and outflow channels that are almost exact to how they are on Earth, which obviously does have water. The Mars Reconnaissance Observer and Mars Express found deposits of clay in the southern highlands that some researchers say is a strong sign that water was there. Some others argue that the clay could be formed by other elements on Mars, such as wind. Also, the Mars Express detected hydrated’ chemical compounds in the surface of rocks over large areas, which means it

In the article, “Could Humans Actually Live on Mars?”, by Laurie Vazquez, scientists and experts are finding new ways to transport humans from Earth to Mars. Up until this point, people have only sent robots to Mars. Since humans have never personally been there, this could be a great event in history. Although there are many concerns regarding health and cost, people should start traveling to Mars to see if it is a suitable living space for humans. If real people could live on Mars, that would give the whole world the chance to keep living even after the planet dies.

evidence to show that water is in existence today. Looked tidally by Mars are two moons;

Every two months, a shuttle will arrive with drinking water for people. The main source of water on Mars is recycling. Leftover dishwater, the water you spit out when you brush your teeth- it all gets filtered and put back into the system. Although, 3.8 billion years ago, Mars may have had a denser atmosphere and higher surface temperatures, allowing a vast amount of liquid water on the surface. This amount of water may have included a large ocean that may have covered one-third of the planet. Due to the fact that the climate on Mars is cold and waterless, it is not a good idea to colonize

Before the sailor flybys in the 1960s, scientist thought Mars had water and life, even if it was just some sort of plantlike lichen. Mars has water, frozen underground and at the polar caps. There is (event(s) or object(s) that prove something) that this water has, in the past and present, flooded the surface in liquid from. Signs of wearing away can be

In the article, “Mars Pebbles Carried for Miles by River”, the author mainly talks about that one reason for the proof of water on Mars is erosion. The pebbles that were found on Mars were round and smooth showing that the water had moved these pebbles and caused them to hit one another. A model created by Domokos, a mathematician, was able to figure out the pebble’s shape and weight that changed as it hit other objects. Researchers were able to calculate that the rocks probably traveled about thirty miles. These researchers believe that the source for the rocks moving is water. The worn out smooth rocks show that there was water on Mars. This article explains that water could be found on Mars because of erosion, which definitely gives us one

Supporting Material: Jpl.nasa.gov. released an article titled “Mars Ice Deposit Holds as Much Water as Lake Superior” on November 22, 2016 stating that, “Frozen beneath a region of cracked and pitted plains on Mars lies about as much water as what's in Lake Superior, (largest of the Great Lakes}.

Mars has water but it is frozen in the planet ice caps and under the soil. The atmosphere on mars is weak due the very high strong winds that occur. The surface temperature of the planet is freezing and the water on the surface of planet evaporates other than the ice caps due to the low atmospheric pressure of the weak atmosphere. According to brightkite.com, “Even with the bad temperature, weak atmosphere and said frozen water there still prove that there is life on Mars because there evidence saying that Mars’s living organisms could be sub surface ("'Strongest evidence yet to there being life on Mars'"). This means that the living organisms do have a chance to live and since there is water, wind, and cold temperature, this allows living organisms to breathe and exist inside the interior of the

Spirit stumbled across rocks that pointed to an earlier, unrulier Mars that was marked by impacts, explosive volcanism and subsurface water [source: NASA Mars]. "Water is key because almost everywhere we find water on Earth we find life," NASA's Web site. However, we are still unsure life existed on Mars.

Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system, and is one of four terrestrial planets that includes Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Mars began its formation 4.6 billion years ago, along with the rest of the solar system. On the surface of Mars, there are large channels that appear to have been carved out by flowing water. Although nothing is certain, there is overwhelming support for the idea that Mars did in fact have flowing water on its surface. There is strong evidence to prove this, hence the channels, but if Mars did have water, where did it all go? Today, Mars is much too cold for water to exists. There is no atmosphere to contain the water if it did exist, so it would go straight from solid ice to water vapor, never reaching its liquid stage (“The Case of Missing Mars Water,” 2001). One theory for the disappearance of water on Mars

It is also said that the United States government has the technology to travel to Mars and that they have secretly taken humans from planet earth over to Mars since the late 60's. It is said that Mars has is very much like Earth and not as red as commonly portrayed on the surface. Vegetation is said to be scarce on the moon and therefore there is not much oxygen

on. For both these things water is needed so exploration of Mars by space probes
