martians don t take temperatures: The Case for Mars Robert Zubrin, Richard Wagner, 2011-06-28 He explains step-by-step how we can use present-day technology to send humans to Mars within ten years; actually produce fuel and oxygen on the planet's surface with Martian natural resources; how we can build bases and settlements; and how we can one day terraform Mars - a process that can alter the atmosphere of planets and pave the way for sustainable life. Under Dr. Zubrin's program, a human mission is only the first step toward a day when research bases and eventual colonies can be developed on Mars' surface. Mars possesses enormous chemical and mineral resources, all of which can be put to use in pursuit of travel, exploration, structures, and a variety of human activities on a planet that is neither as harsh nor as unreachable as we popularly believe. The Case For Mars is not a vision for the far future or one that will cost us impossible billions. It is a plan that can be put into action today if we are willing to rethink our traditional methods and costs. |
martians don t take temperatures: The Trouble With Humans Christopher Anvil, 2007-08-01 Humans¾there's no understanding them, And no dealing with them either. Or even their planet. Pity the poor aliens, whose shape-changing ability should let them take over the planet Earth before the humans even know they're there-if it weren't for all that omnipresent pollution. Or consider another set of invaders, from a planet where the weather is always mild and the changing of the seasons is hardly noticeable. They land in force and their weapons are more powerful than those of the primitive humans-but they've never before had to deal with below-zero temperatures, flash floods or tornados-not to mention volcanoes. Then there were the aliens who noticed how belligerent humans were, and gave them the gift of TV-like devices which would show anything anywhere on Earth, which was sure to lead to war. Imagine how surprised the aliens were when the humans took the gadgets apart, improved them, and started spying on everything the aliens were up to, all over the galaxy. Humans don't make sense, they don't fight fair, and they're making aliens throughout interstellar space think seriously about pulling up stakes and moving to another galaxy!

martians don t take temperatures: The Atmosphere and Climate of Mars Robert M. Haberle, R. Todd Clancy, François Forget, Michael D. Smith, Richard W. Zurek, 2017-06-29 Humanity has long been fascinated by the planet Mars. Was its climate ever conducive to life? What is the atmosphere like today and why did it change so dramatically over time? Eleven spacecraft have successfully flown to Mars since the Viking mission of the 1970s and early 1980s. These orbiters, landers and rovers have generated vast amounts of data that now span a Martian decade (roughly eighteen years). This new volume brings together the many new ideas about the atmosphere and climate system that have emerged, including the complex interplay of the volatile and dust cycles, the atmosphere-surface interactions that connect them over time, and the diversity of the planet's environment and its complex history. Including tutorials and explanations of complicated ideas, students, researchers and non-specialists alike are able to use this resource to gain a thorough and up-to-date understanding of this most Earth-like of planetary neighbours. |

martians don t take temperatures: "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character Richard P. Feynman, 2018-02-06 One of the most famous science books of our time, the phenomenal national bestseller that buzzes with energy, anecdote and life. It almost makes you want to become a physicist (Science Digest). Richard P. Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. In this lively work that “can shatter the stereotype of the stuffy scientist” (Detroit Free Press), Feynman recounts his experiences trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets—and much more of an eyebrow-raising nature. In his stories, Feynman’s life shines through in all its eccentric glory—a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah. Included for this edition is a new introduction by Bill Gates. |
martians don t take temperatures: You Can't Be Too Careful H.G. Wells, 2022-11-22 In 'You Can't Be Too Careful,' H.G. Wells deftly employs satirical prose to chronicle the lifespan of his protagonist, Edward Albert Tewler, from the cradle to the grave. Wells's work seamlessly blends irony with a narrative that presents a critical examination of the socio-political dynamics of Edwardian England, emphasizing their impact on individual development. This novel stands testament to Wells's mastery of satirical fiction, situating itself firmly within the broader literary context of the early 20th century, where commentary on class and society's restrictive mores was increasingly prevalent among contemporary writers. H.G. Wells, best known for pioneering works in science fiction such as 'The War of the Worlds' and 'The Time Machine,' brings to this book a wealth of experience in exploring the human condition under the lens of speculative and often critical perspectives. His scientific background, coupled with an acute awareness of social issues of his time, likely informed the creation of 'You Can't Be Too Careful,' adding depth to his analysis of Edward Albert Tewler's life within a changing society. 'You Can't Be Too Careful' is a must-read for aficionados of classic English literature and those interested in the intersection of satire and social commentary. Wells's incisive wit and keen observations offer not just entertainment but a thoughtful reflection on the influences shaping human life and the universal nature of personal evolution within societal frameworks. As relevant today as at the time of its writing, this book is a valuable addition to any discerning reader's collection. |

martians don t take temperatures: Metaethics from a First Person Standpoint Catherine Wilson, 2016-01-18 Metaethics from a First Person Standpoint addresses in a novel format the major topics and themes of contemporary metaethics, the study of the analysis of moral thought and judgement. Metathetics is less concerned with what practices are right or wrong than with what we mean by ‘right’ and ‘wrong.’ Looking at a wide spectrum of topics including moral language, realism and anti-realism, reasons and motives, relativism, and moral progress, this book engages students and general readers in order to enhance their understanding of morality and moral discourse as cultural practices. Catherine Wilson innovatively employs a first-person narrator to report step-by-step an individual’s reflections, beginning from a position of radical scepticism, on the possibility of objective moral knowledge. The reader is invited to follow along with this reasoning, and to challenge or agree with each major point. Incrementally, the narrator is led to certain definite conclusions about ‘oughts’ and norms in connection with self-interest, prudence, social norms, and finally morality. Scepticism is overcome, and the narrator arrives at a good understanding of how moral knowledge and moral progress are possible, though frequently long in coming. Accessibly written, Metaethics from a First Person Standpoint presupposes no prior training in philosophy and is a must-read for philosophers, students and general readers interested in gaining a better understanding of morality as a personal philosophical quest. |
