This is in turn making them to find ways on how they can terraform the planet. As the scientists continue to explore further in the solar system, the question of habitation as well as colonization of planet Mars always comes up (Badescu, 2009)
While this remains a big issue, it is important to understand what is there in the planet and the things that the scientist will modify to make life on Mars sustainable (Badescu, 2009). Terraforming Mars Terraforming is the hypothetical process of transforming unfavorable environment into an environment that is conducive for human life (Shankel, 2011)
Terraforming Mars: Is this a good idea or a bad one? Terraforming mars Mars is the 4th planet from the sun. It is the 2nd smallest planet in the solar system as after Pluto (Markley, 2005)
For instance in the case of multi-round combinatorial auctions where allocation and pricing information are disclosed at the end of each round, It remains unclear for the supplier on how to reformulate their bids. This therefore calls for the need to develop an incentive compatible mechanism that best suits all the suppliers who participate in the mechanism hence optimization is important (Chandrashekar et al., n
Another feature is the use of the status quo methods that prevents the firm from taking advantage of the economies of scale presented by the suppliers. In such cases the supplier may make use of optimization to solve the problem (Gail Hohner et al., 2003)
It contained the Sojourner, a Mars rover that travelled across the planet's surface and returned with data and resources to the ship. The rover itself was particular proficient in revealing information concerning the planet, as it "was fitted with numerous instruments to examine Martian rocks" (Bergin & Salariya 9)
One of the most intriguing concepts regarding Opportunity is that no one knows when the rover is going to stop because experts never thought about performing tests regarding failure of important components. Opportunity can basically end its mission in the next few days or it can continue to work for several years (Doyle)
However, the planet has most probably had running waters on its surface several billions of years ago and has had active volcanoes. "Recent high-resolution images of the surface of Mars have strengthened earlier views that water may once have run across the surface of the planet" (Kusky 262)
While this fascination generated a lot of interest in the planet, it also distorted people's ability to learn more about it. The red planet influenced many in associating it with war and death, this being especially visible through the fact that the Romans named it Mars, in an attempt to link it to the god of war (LaFontaine)
"Only one important advance was made before the modern era, when Aristotle observed an occultation of Mars by the Moon and inferred that Mars "was higher up in the heavens" than the Moon, i.e., farther away" (Matthews 2)
They occupy a strip of country for the most part at the north of the Arctic Circle, extending from the East Cape of Siberia to Greenland. Their most northerly extremity is at Smith Sound in northern Greenland at about 80° Latitude, while their most southerly extension reaches into the lower Kuskokwim Valley in Alaska around Latitude 60°" (Marshall, 1972)
The new analysis is based on data from observations in the south polar region during southern Mars winter in 2006-2007, identifying a tall carbon-dioxide cloud about 500 kilometers (300 miles) in diameter persisting over the pole and smaller, shorter-lived, lower-altitude carbon dioxide ice clouds at latitudes from 70 to 80 degrees south. (Atkinson, 2012) More current experts in addition to rising astronomical students and researchers have provided a surge in interest in Mars, specifically interest in the hydrological cycle of the planet
Now, while such collaboration bodes well for diplomacy, it also acts as a deflating influence in terms of competition between nations -- the less necessary Mars flights are for American or Russian national security and reputation, the less apt politicians are to fund such efforts in financially strapped times. (Perepelkin, 2001) Also, despite the good political will collaborations have generated in the past, moreover, Andrew Stephen cautioned in the peer-reviewed journal of politics, New Statesman, that "first, the International Space Station," the last collaborative project beween Russia and America, "has become a hugely costly project that does not do anything very useful
Moreover, there would not be enough fuel for the spacecraft to turn around and come back to Earth if the mission needed to be aborted." (Querna, "Human Travel to Mars" May 2001) Additional space safety concerns on a flight to Mars surround the question of what would happen to the human bodies involved if things went wrong

Humans on Mars Humans upon Mars -- Resist the Pull of the Red Planet! That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," said Neil Armstrong on that fateful day of July 20, 1969, when for the first time humankind strode upon the moon. (Stephen, 2004) it was hard to believe after the first, sputtering attempts to bring a United States program into being in the wake of the horror of the Russian Sputnik launch that an American now stood upon the moon
" (Stephen, 2004) the embaressment of the shuttle difficulties has caused many, including President Bush himself, to keep alive the dreams of a mission to Mars as a form of image rehabilitation. (Zimmerman, 2003) but can the financial and safety costs justify so much, for comparatively little scientific or even political return? For NASA, Mars remains an important long-term goal and a way of establishing political capital in Washington D
"That's been a symptom of the United States since its foundation. We invented all sorts of crucial technologies: mass production, standardized parts, time zones, you name it" (Guterman 2002)
They cannot even decide what soup to buy. Surveys indicate that 85% of workers take their laptops, PDAs, or mobile phones on holidays; 54% feel overwhelmed by pervasive communications; and 93% of feel a negative effect on the quality of life (Kapica 2004)
In 1975, McLuhan said, "Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America -- not on the battlefields of Vietnam" (Marchand 1989, p
