We need a large terrestrial body with an<br \/> atmosphere, so the choices are Mars, Venus and Titan (one of Saturn\u2019s moons). Using the<br \/> information provided, complete the exercise and decide where you would establish a colony.<\/p>\n<p>Part 1. Things to think about in the Atmosphere:<br \/> The web comic XKCD has an entertaining (and scientifically accurate) explanation of how<br \/> different the atmospheres are on some of the larger bodies in the solar system. Read the article<br \/> and answer the following questions. https:\/\/what-if.xkcd.com\/30\/<br \/> 1. Why do gasoline-powered engines only work on Earth?<br \/> 2. What is the biggest challenge to flight on Mars? How does this affect the ability to steer the<br \/> airplane?<br \/> 3. What is the biggest challenge to keeping a plane flying in the upper part of the Venusian<br \/> atmosphere? Why don\u2019t we want to fly in the lower atmosphere?<br \/> 4. (1 pt) Titan has a decent atmosphere for flying, but one big drawback. What is it?<\/p>\n<p>Part 2: Things to think about on the ground:<br \/> 1. Mars is where most of our current off-planet exploration takes place:<br \/> http:\/\/solarsystem.nasa.gov\/planets\/mars. We know more about Mars than any other planet! In<br \/> what ways is Mars similar to Earth? How is it different?<br \/> 2. Venus has been explored on a number of missions so far:<br \/> http:\/\/solarsystem.nasa.gov\/planets\/venus. What are some of the key differences between being<br \/> on the surface of the Earth and the surface of Venus?<br \/> 3. NASA\u2019s Cassini mission is just beginning to explore Titan:<br \/> http:\/\/saturn.jpl.nasa.gov\/science\/index.cfm?SciencePageID=73. What are some of the Earth-like<br \/> features it has discovered so far? What are the ways Titan\u2019s surface is different from Earth?<\/p>\n<p>Part 3: Put it all together and tell us where to build a colony!<br \/> This section should have 2 paragraphs. Paragraph 1 will outline the pros and cons of<br \/> trying to colonize Mars, Venus and Titan. Use what you read online and what we talked about in<br \/> class (on 4\/25). Paragraph 2 will state which place you think we should try to live on and why,<br \/> and some ideas as to how we might overcome some of the challenges of living there. I\u2019m not<br \/> expecting NASA engineer answers; just use some common sense and a little creativity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interplanetary Colony \u2013 humans suddenly have an interest Interplanetary Colony: Scenario: Due to some horrible event (probably of our own making), humans suddenly have an interest in living somewhere other than Earth.
