    As is known to all, humans’ enthusiasm and desire to explore the outer space can date back to ancient times. And the Apollo Moon landing, humans’ first voyage to the space, marked a historical moment of human history. After a series of successful aerospace explorations, we have been convinced that human beings will finally be capable to uncover all the mysteries of the space. As the next giant leap for humankind, the Mars One project, if successful, can feedback valuable information about natural resources, environment and so on, enabling us to broaden our science knowledge and deepen our understanding about the unknown world. Moreover, the project will enhance the possibilities of migrating to Mars. Its various natural resources and vast land may contribute to the settlement of current population explosion and energy crisis on the Earth, promoting the living standard of all of…

    Some of the bad things about the project is that it can cause more pollution instead of lowering the chances of it. The building if not stable enough could collapse because the base camp is a moving glacier. Building this would cost more than $700,000 (not including the cost for electricity and supplies). That would make a sum of about $3,000,000 for when it is first built and and about $2,300,000 for all the supplies and electricity. That probably does not even include the cost of shipping. which would add about $50,000 every time a load of stuff is shipped there.…

    Evidence has shown that the collapsing of buildings are the biggest threat to human life and the economy, because of this, scientists in MEDCs are looking to improve buildings and infrastructure, making them more earthquake resistant. The main design in development is Aseismic designs, these buildings are designed to sway as the earth moves, are made of fire resistant materials and have deep and form foundations. One example of this type of design is the Trans-America Building in San Francisco, and the building withstood the Santa-Cruz earthquake in 1989, reading 7.1 on the Richter scale, this just shows how effective the design is at preventing…

    Reed has not identified a breach of a specific contractual provision despite being given the opportunity to do so through discovery. While Reed speculates that colleges have a duty to protect the health of their athletes, he fails to demonstrate how such duty is grounded in contract. Reed asserts the release is not enforceable, because it was not supported by consideration. Consideration may be any benefit conferred or detriment suffered. The forbearance of a legal right is a legal detriment which constitutes good consideration. When the hockey players, including Reed, signed the registration form, they agreed not to hold the participating sponsors responsible for any claims arising from their participation in the event and NDAD agreed to let them run on the course during NDAD's road race. Reed's surrender of a legal right in exchange for NDAD allowing him to run the course during the race constitutes consideration for the release.…
