Becoming A Martain

Yesterday we started the hurumanus we did in term 1. The hurumanu I am doing is hurumanu 3, Life on mars the second part of the hurumanu. We had to read a article called "Becoming A Martain". After we read the article. we got given some question to answer some questions about the article. Here are my answers.

  1. A mission to Mars could happen in 2024 but that all could change with NAZA getting there cucalsions wrong and they don't have enough fuel or food to last the trip. Why could the mission happen, well it could happen if they get it right and the astronauts are trained really hard and know what to do if there's a dust storm and if they are starting to run out of food.
  2. Two geological features of Mars: Mars is known for its colour and the colour is caused by large amounts of iron oxide. Other features include polar ice caps, Olympus Mons (the largest volcano in the solar system).
  3. NASA has a machine called MOXIE, which uses electricity to split carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen so they could take that to Mars but that means you might not be available to take more water or food.
  4. There is water on Mars you just have look in the Valles Marineris Or canyons because Mars used to have lakes and rivers but because of all the dust storms it got all covered up.
  5. They take as much food they can fit onto the spaceship which might last them 6 months. Every 6 months there should be a shuttle going up there to give them food but they have to drive to the specific spot.

    You shared some really thought out answers to the questions about the article. I can tell you understood the material and have skimmed the text to find the correct bits. Well done! Keep up the great work and I encourage you to help others with their work too! You would be a great buddy to some of the others in our class.
