Life on Mars/Science

 Kia ora People today's post is about life on Mars. For this task, we had to read a book and answer the questions on the slide...


When can a mission to Mars happen?: Every 26 months people can go to or from mars because of that's when the two planest orbit near each other closer.  The initial concept included an orbiter and small robotic lander in 2018, followed by a rover in 2020, and the base components in 2024. The first crew of four astronauts was to land on Mars in 2025. Then, every two years, a new crew of four would arrive.

What are the two geological features of mars?: Like Earth and Venus, Mars has mountains, valleys, and volcanoes, but the red planets are by far the biggest and most dramatic. Olympus Mons, the solar system's largest volcano, towers some 16 miles above the Martian surface, making it three times taller than Everest.

What is one possible solution from the story about oxygen on mars?: Nasa has a machine that can split carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide/ Air. They are sending this to mars in 2020/ this year.


If it doesn't rain on mars where does the water come from?: There is ice stored under the ground on mars that can be filtered and drunk. 


How do people get food on Mars?: When the astronauts land on Mars, there will be storable food from Earth waiting for them to use. ... CO2 for the plants is available from the Mars atmosphere and water is available through recycling and the soil on Mars. Nutrients for the plants could come from recycling human waste or could be imported from Earth. 

Hope you learned lots from these questions
