Mission Overview 01/22/14

Who ARE these people? 01/22/14

663 candidates remain -Interviews currently happening -24 finalists will begin training late Includes questions about the mission and Mars 01/22/14

Mars 2018 lander/comm orbiter: establish landing site, payload 01/22/14

MarsOne Habitat

Buzz Aldrin’s cycling Orbit, diagrammed

Elon Musk’s SpaceX plan to be announced Fall 2015: 01/22/14

Obstacles -Untested technology on Mars -MIT feasibility study summary findings (2014): first death by suffocation at T+68 days 100% humidity repeated component fail will exhaust spares mass too great for safe Mars landing properly supplying will require 15 ‘pods’ landing safely on Mars Citation: 14.pdf

Obstacles, continued -Unsafe radiation levels as measured by Curiosity on Mars -Peroxide and other soil contaminants, to include perchlorate -regional/global dust storms -landing site insufficiency of water, other components to be used on Mars -psychological effects of long-term space flight -medical issues unable to be resolved by crew -unrepairable equipment/critical components of habitat growth chamber, etc.

Is there extant Life on Mars? 01/22/14 ALH84001 microbial Fossils? Recent salt deposit In a Martian gully? Briny water on Phoenix’s leg? Diurnal cycle of nutrient use? Viking II, 1976 Broccoli can grow here. Methane release From non-volcanic Regions on Mars Curiosity, 2014 Curiosity, 2013

The Charge: Is Mars harboring ‘illegal aliens’? 01/22/14 The evidence: 1.Labelled release experiment, Viking, Meteorite ALH Methane gas release 4.Water droplets on Phoenix’ Arm 5.Possession of all necessary elements for life 6.Abundant evidence of flowing and standing liquid water of neutral pH 7.Existence of liquid water below the surface 8.Each alone, not enough. But taken as a whole?
