One week left!
Hey everyone! We are honestly doing okay. there is only one week left and we need to keep working - the financing, and design need to be figured before we can figure all of the scientist and astronaut roles completly. i done basically all of the science parts behind the multiple disigns we have come up with. and the pros and cons of the differnt disigns also and how the basic needs and wants wil fit in. but the finance needs to be done first so we know the budget then create the design and the science and astronaut jobs will be completed. any questions?concerns? one more week! go russia!

Yeeaaaahh! I found the cost of a
ReplyDeletespace shuttle and the cost to launch a mission! But it's hard to figure out what cost is the right one! But let's keep it up!
There is a lot we need ot consider.
ReplyDeleteSorry, disdn't meant to post the comment above.
ReplyDeleteOkay, here's a list of unanswered ?s:
1. How mmany astronauts will we be transporting?
2. How much food/space will be required ot sustain them?
3. Will we bring them aqll up at once, or bring the people/supplies up in stages?
4. What will be the cost of thiese trips?
5. So, we are trying to colonize mars... does that mean we bring the astornaut's families with them?
6. Shopuld only trained personell be allowed on the missiopn?
7. We need to melt the permafrost to provide a palatable liquid. What equiptment will be able to meet the temperature needed?
8. This may take a while-- what will the astronauts drink in the meantime?
9. Will we be able to derive the susainanve we need from the planet?

10. Will we be able to transport pigs/cows to mars?
ReplyDelete11. Will their bodies be able to withstand the intense G-forces?
12. As far as plants go, will we transport earth soil, or use martian soil?
13. If we use martiann soil, we will have to engineer plantsm to be able to drive nutrients form it, a process both expwensive-- and illegal in some countries.
14. How will we establish communication with earth?
15. How will we establish gravity?
16. If something breaks, will we have the materials needed to fix it on mars?
17. Do we have any way to rapidly transport these materials from earth?
18. If an emergency occurs, do we have escape pods to save the colonists?
19. As the populattation grows larger, we will need more escape pods. Do we have the resourcesn on the planet and a way to transform them intop ships?
20. If someone is injured, do we have a medical facility to heal them?
ReplyDelete21. What materials will be needed to set up this facility?
22. How will we ensure there is room for growth within our colony?
23. Will people of all countries be admitted, or only russian citizens?
24. What hierarchy will be established?
25. Need I go on?
26. What if there are already microbes frozen in the soil?
ReplyDelete27. We will obviously bring microbes with us... how will this efect the enviroment?
28. When the microbes/bacteria we bring and the possible microbes meet, should we worry about horizontal gene transfer?
29. Will this cause more diseases to evolve?
30. We won't have any ammunity to these diseases, how will we survive them?
