Mars


Life on Mars

According to NASSA's recent report, any mission to Mars can only leave Earth or return from Mars every twenty-six months. The reason being is because the two planets needs to meet at the
closest point in their orbits.

In terms of its geological features, Scientists studied that Mars is known as the Red Planet because of its colour which caused by large amounts of iron oxide.  

One possible solution about Oxygen on Mars is a machine called MOXIE .

According to the article, if it doesn't rain on Mars the water comes from polar ice caps, but these ice caps are covered in
a thick layer of frozen carbon dioxide.

The people brought their own food, that would need to last for twenty-six months until the next supply rocket
arrives. 

Thank you for viewing this blog to explore new things about Mars.
I do hope you have a fantastic day!!!!!

My Favorite Part:

Achievement
I achieved good feedback and good compliments from my teachers and TA's for the great effort I put into my work. 
Resilience
Despite how hard the challenges  were, I worked so hard to be a real learner completing my work on time.
