january 2011 skip to content month january 2011 mars the new earth published on january 27 2011 january 27 2011 by asteitel 12 comments in a previous post i outlined a proposed mission profile for and some of the realities involved in a one way manned mission to mars rovers and robots would establish a base camp before the crew arrived the astronauts would receive continuous shipments of supplies form earth but would have to rely on onsite greenhouses for the majority of their food and oxygen like i said the proposal is a radical one the astronauts would have no means to return home at any point throughout the mission but they would be the first step in a long term plan to develop a human outpost on the red planet the proposed mission itself is i think difficult to justify more difficult however are the realities of living on an inhospitable planet for the rest of your life in the case of mars would it be easier to alter the planet to make it fit for human habitation instead of bringing a habitat in tow what should come first terraforming or inhabiting previous image terra nova by david a hardy depicts a terraformed mars rise as seen from one of its moons continue reading

couple of months ago i published a post outlining a few historical viewpoints of the planet mars philosophers and scientists have considered it to be a cold and lifeless world a planet teeming with life as well as a formerly flourishing planet that now holds only the vestiges of an intelligent and resourceful society no matter the time period the red planet has maintained a constant hold over the imaginations of men and scientists alike it has always been a point of fascination and more recently an achievable goal the lure and romance of mars had led many to propose the exploration the red planet in a variety of fashions some focus on robotic exploration while others proposed staged manned missions the most radical proposal merges the two on a strict time frame a one way manned mission to mars within the first quarter of the 21 st century pictured is the mars pathfinder lander the landing bag petal or ramp that facilitated the rover sojourner s descent to the surface and a

astronaut selection manned spaceflight mars moon nasa robots sailors ships and splashdowns published on january 14 2011 march 31 2011 by asteitel 10 comments i ve been posting a lot about landing methods nasa s use of splashdowns why the method was not a long term solution to the problem of returning from space and a comparison to soviet methods the former splashdowns have been a focus of a number of posts i have previously focussed on the complexity of splashdowns and the significant resources involved as driving force behind nasa s pursuit of land landing methods with its second generation manned spaceflight program but this only tells half the story a look at the numbers of men and ships involved offers a different illustration of the reasons to pursue a land landing method

previous post i offered a brief summary of the x 15 program in which i highlighted its features that enabled it to take on the designation of a space plane i also mentioned that its nature is two fold it is at once a space plane and a research aircraft left an engineer runs wind tunnel tests on a scale model of an x 15 for many involved with the x 15 program the aircraft was the first space plane it s record altitude was above the 50 mile limit of space the aircraft was poised to be the first in a line of orbit capable space planes the proposed follow up x 20 program built on the basic space plane design but as the space race gathered steam the x 15 took a backseat to and was eventually eclipsed by the mercury ballistic capsule thus in the wake of mercury s success the x 15 took on a
