All alone on Mars I, Georgina, sit inside of my protected spacesuit, wondering what my friends and family are doing back on Earth. Jennifer L. Holm used scientific information in her story “Follow The Water” which explains the many risks like radiation, lack of fresh water, food, oxygen, and gravity to live on Mars. In “Follow The Water” Jennifer L. Holm writes about if someone lived on Mars, she includes why it’s difficult to live there. Mars is a very difficult place to live in because it lacks food, oxygen, and fresh, clean water. Mars had many intense dust storms, barren landscape, no breathable air, and if you go outside you must wear a protective space suit because of the radiation. You also must take your blood to see how the radiation
In conclusion, the passage, “Getting Ready to Live on Mars”, was important to read because it informed the reader about Mars simulations, and had many different main ideas, however only one central idea. The central idea of the passage was developed by quotes and expert opinions, and is partly states at the end of the passage. The central idea of the passage is that Mars simulations are helping eliminate some logistical and emotional conflicts that might occur on a real trip to Mars, and is developed by using expert opinions and
Within the story “Follow the Water” by Jennifer L. Holm, you can find multiple scientific facts, and some facts are included in “What Would It Take To Live There”. For example on the bottom of the first page you will see a line about the radiation. “The cabin is made up of thick black plastic, sturdy enough to protect us from the solar radiation, which can kill you give you terrible skin cancer.” Since Mars doesn’t have a magnetic field, you can be exposed to this deadly radiation. “Some of them had to have their noses removed.” Which is one of the events that could happen when your body is exposed. Another subject she talks about is how to temperature is -81 degrees on mars, and that is a true statement. “It’s could on Mar’s colder then you
Mars has been an interesting planet to mankind for years now, and scientists have decided to take things into their own hands. They are making plans to put people on Mars to have them live there. Consequently, they would need to face many problems during the period of time preparing for the journey to mars. One of the many problems they would have to face, for example, is: How will they get food, water, or air? Well, you’re about to find out. In Jennifer L Holm’s fictional story, “Follow the Water”, she uses facts about Mars to help you imagine some of the problems characters would have to face, and how they would be able to fix them in reality.
If I were to move to Mars I would want to live life how I was living it on Earth. I wouldn’t want to be trapped inside the rest of my life on Mars. Mars is a very dangerous place
For instance, in Martian Metropolis by Meg Thatcher, it states, “The danger decreases if you burrow 16 feet (5 meters) under the surface of the Red Planet. The soil overhead would provide about the same amount of protection as Earth’s atmosphere.” This information demonstrates the intense radiation of the Martian surface, causing it to be unsustainable for lifeforms to exist. Astronauts would have to counteract cosmic radiation by relying on advanced technology, and possibly stay underground for the first months or even years of being on Mars. From Martian Metropolis, it states, “On average, it's a bone-chilling -80° F / -62° C.“ and “It’s atmosphere is about 100 times thinner than Earth’s, and it’s 95
However, humans can survive on mars by doing what Mark Watney done in the novel, The Martian. Humans can survive by putting air locked structures
The people that go to mars are risking their lives they can die of many things, including lack of oxygen and sickness. There is no atmosphere on Mars so therefore there is no oxygen which all humans need. The people will try to make an atmosphere by planting plants which let off oxygen, which could easily fail. Some
The red, rocky terrain. Dangerous volcanoes and deep, dark canyons slicing into the planet. Astronaut Mark Watney, stranded on Mars, wakes up suddenly after being unconscious for six Sols (days on Mars). After his crew abandons him, he believes he has no hope of survival whatsoever.
The movie, “The Martian,” by Ridley Scott is about an astronaut who’s trying to survive on an empty and lonely planet. The astronaut surviving on the planet Matt Damon, also known as Mark Watney. After his crew left him because they thought he was dead during a strong storm, Mark finds himself abandoned and lonely on a desolate planet. Mark try’s to send a message back to earth that he is still alive on the empty planet. NASA puts in non-stop work and fights to bring him back home. In the end, he returns back to Earth safely.
We know more about Mars than we do about our own ocean on Earth. In 2030 Space X wants to send a manned mission to Mars to try to eventually colonize Mars. However, getting to Mars is very difficult and poses many problems. Space X should not send people to Mars because of too many health dangers. Scientist should spend more time trying to find out more about our planet rather than Mars.
To begin, it is really dangerous for the astronauts. In “Trip To Mars Could Damage Astronaut’s Brain” it states that in space atmosphere there are dangerous particles that could damage the brain. This is significant because the astronauts are going to be in space for a long time, which that can lead to the brain damage, and they could suffer from it for the rest of their lives. In “Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death” it states that the astronaut that are on the mission to Mars, could get get bored to point to die. This is important because boredom can lead to death, and the astronaut might forget a step or misread the gauge.
Did you know that Earth is Dying! Yes, it is in fact dying, although slowly the destruction of Earth is inevitable. So what can we do; Although risky space travel may be the solution, specifically Mars. This traveling is essential to our survival, this is not because of the Earth dying it is because as human we strive to be the first and seek out stimulus. Think of the future, the next generation, and… Space.
Its thin atmosphere and most likely a completely waterless surface shows that any life that was to land on the Red Planet would have a hard time trying to survive. At that time, when life was found on Earth, Mars had an ocean, volcanoes and deltas, the difference between Mars and Earth is Mars rapidly lost its hold on habitability. According to scientist Mars lacks the ability to have a protective magnetic field, most of the water left the surface and escaped into space, this was caused by the exposure of the surface to the cosmic rays and ultraviolet light. There were only a few packs of water left on the surface, some remained at the poles whereas others may have remained under the
Will The joy of having less gravity on mars effect the rest of her life? Not only the lack of gravity will be a downside the air there and the weather are hugely important to keep tract of. Jennifer L. Holm Uses Scientific information in her fictional story “Follow The Water”.
There are many reasons why I do not want to move to Mars because air is not breathable, have to spend all your time in a space suit, and doesn’t have enough oxygen. As the article said, “Mars is a dangerous place. The air is not breathable-it doesn’t have enough oxygen. There’s not a drop of water. Giant dust storms fill the air with choking dirt. It can get as warm as 86 degrees F on Mars. But it’s usually only about 81 degrees F below zero.” (Pg.6) Therefore, if you can’t breathe, how will
