Recently, NASA has landed a washing machine sized robot on the planet of Mars. The scientists of NASA hope to get a man on Mars by 2035. This is an exciting prospect into the future of technology. One of the major issues the scientists have will transporting astronauts to Mars is how to land safely as the thin atmosphere makes the likelihood of landing on the planet with the use of a parachute extremely unlikely. Another issue is how to maintain life on a planet full of radiation. The idea that humans may be able to travel and live upon other planets in our solar systems openly examines how far our world has come in technology. Hopefully scientists will be able to discover how to sustain life on the red planet, and if possible, take that same idea and thinking on to how to land an astronaut upon another planet.

That will definitely be interesting, seeing what ideas they come up with for living on a planet full of radiation. Maybe they could put that to some use elsewhere in the medical fields, even?

This is the way to go! I'm glad I will be alive to see it (if NASA can keep on schedule). This shows the importance of technological research and NASA to the future of the US.

ReplyDeleteThis article really highlights the many advances in technology that have come over the years. I am interested to see what will actually come of this goal and how the major contributions of NASA will enhance our understanding about possible sustaining of life on the red planet.
