Life on Mars

I do not remember the first time I had heard that Mars might support human life. It must have been a long time since this subject has been around if I cannot remember what age I was when I had heard about it. Either way, I have been thinking about whether Mars could really support life on Earth. I am still organizing the facts, but so far (you could call it my halfway conclusion) is that Mars is able to support human life. My reason is: if we build a biosphere that humans could live in, as long as we do not leave it we would be able to survive. The problem is, is that from what I know the biosphere project in Arizona did not turn out well. The people that lived in the biosphere came out half crazy and they still do not talk to each other. I believe that if we can upgrade biosphere, we have a great chance of living in Mars. As I said- still organizing info about this.

National Park on the Moon

I know this might be old news to people, but I still think it would be interesting to find out your opinions. I'm also wondering- did they ever decide? I was curious and tried to do some research, but all I could find were articles from the summer...

My opinion is that we should not make a national park on the moon. First of all, we have no right. The moon is not in the ownership of the U.S. What gives us the right to claim ownership? Instead of making a national park, I think making a petition with other countries about leaving things on the moon the way it is would be easier. It might also improve relationships with some countries throughout the process. 

Opinions?

International Space Station

Recently, I have grown a great interest in the ISS (International Space Station). I made a whole power point on it, but sadly I was not thinking and made it on my school gmail account. As you know, you cannot copy and paste a power point, so I cannot show you...
It is a very interesting subject, and you will want to know more once you start researching about it.
Here are some links to get you started:

Antarctic Ozone Smaller

The Antarctic Ozone is smaller than average this year. It could just be a seasonal difference, or it could be global warming.... Opinions?

Mt Rainier at Night

A few days ago, I went to Mt Rainier to go stargazing. It did take a lot of time going to and back from Mt. Rainier, but it was definitely worth it! There were so many stars- I nearly forgot about the cold. I saw so many stars I had never even heard of, although I did see a few constellations I could recognize. I took some pictures but it didn't come out as well as the real thing...

 

MH4

Tried to make the plane more eco-friendly (as one of my goals is to design eco-friendly planes one day) by increasing the scale factor of wings, rudder, horizontal stabilizer, and propeller so the engine could use less energy while in flight.

MIG-21

Here is one of my edited designs (I'm sorry I do not have the original form, I forgot to save it. Although you cannot really see the difference of the designs...) It is the MIG 21, a jet fighter aircraft. To give you a quick summary of what kind of "war plane" it is, it was the most produced supersonic jet in aviation history. It started being developed in the 1950s and was a successful Soviet aircraft.
