Lesson 3 - Mission to Mars
In this lesson, students will discuss what would be involved in planning and executing a manned mission to Mars. Mars One is a company that plans to send humans on a one-way mission to Mars for the purpose of establishing a colony there. A quote from the website (http://www.mars-one.com/):
"Mars One will establish a permanent human settlement on Mars. Crews of four will depart every two years, starting in 2026. Our first unmanned mission will be launched in 2020. Join the Global Mars One Community and participate in our mission to Mars."
Students will work in groups to come up with a design to support this mission.
