Hi students,
Today we are going to conclude watching History Channel's The Universe - Mars: The Red Planet. Please continue developing your opinion as to whether or not a manned mission to Mars is feasible and likely to happen.
Here are a couple more resources to consider:
1. An article about a deal between Mars One and Lockheed Martin (an aerospace engineering firm): http://www.popsci.com/article/technology/one-way-manned-mission-mars-just-got-closer-reality
2. An article about a panel meeting in Congress to discuss proceeding with a manned mission to Mars:

By the end of class, please type a two-paragraph essay giving your opinion. Make sure it answers the following questions: Is a manned mission to Mars feasible? What obstacles need to be overcome? Do you think that this will happen in your lifetime? Why do you think so? Email or share your essay with me at james_trainer@dpsk12.org. As always, you will be graded using the common core rubric for your grade level. This is a 50-point quiz assignment.
