CSP presentation PPT final
- 1. Man on the Moon By: Marissa Langevin
- 2. Colonizing the MoonCons greatly outweigh the prosHumans won’t inhabit the Moon, it will be a whole new species$10-20 billion each year to sustainBeing strapped to bed could hurtHard to hold food, brush teeth, and other everyday tasks
- 3. Moon vs. MarsHas been discussed among astronauts for over 50 yearsDecided that we will colonize the Moon before MarsThe Moon is 238,857 miles away, Mars is between 36 million to 250 million miles awayCould get to Moon in 3 weeks going at 500 MPH on a jetliner; 6 months to go to Mars
- 4. Apollo MissionsNine Apollo missions have been sent into spaceSeven missions had men land on the MoonThe first two missions had to go back to Earth before landingFirst mission made 10 orbits around the MoonSecond mission came within 50,000 feet of landing
- 5. LCROSS “Shooting the Moon”Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) “shot the Moon” on October 9th, 2009Sent a satellite into the Cabeus A crater in search of ice by the southern lunar poleFound the ice, which can be chemically reduced to oxygen
- 6. Marius CraterOnly known area on the Moon with oxygenEnough oxygen to sustain a colony213 wide by 269 feet deepCould lead to breakthrough and help us find other craters with oxygen
- 7. Spacesuits Help to regulate temperature and oxygen Will help to slow muscle atrophy and bone decalcificationTakes 500 man-hours (2 ½ years) for one person to make one spacesuitAll spacesuits are 3/16” thick, and made of 11 materials
- 8. Spacesuits (cont.)Apollo spacesuits weighed 180 pounds (30 lbs on Moon)Current spacesuits weigh 310 pounds (103.3 lbs on Moon)Spacesuits are white because they reflect the sun’s light and heat
- 9. When We Might ColonizeWithin the next 40-70 yearsNo definite plans where on the Moon to colonizeWould cost $10-20 billion per year to sustain the colony
- 10. Pros of Colonizing Great space observation locationRest stop for astronauts, place to refill rocket fuelTelephone‘s could be used on the Moon, with only a 3 second delay
- 11. Cons of ColonizingMany health risksLunar soil is extremely abrasive and toxic, and causes serious lung conditionsHospitals would have difficulty functioning on the MoonThere is a risk of getting hit by a meteoriteRisk of jumping too high, or falling off the Moon into the never-ending depthsof space
- 12. Health RisksStill developing children and young adults’ spines and digestive systems would grow to abnormal lengthsChildren would die before having offspringVery poor blood circulationMuscle atrophyBone decalcification
- 13. Evolution to New SpeciesEvolution is constantly occurringIn space, humans would evolve into a completely new species
- 14. Thank You for WatchingTo me, colonizing the Moon is an expensive and risky task that may cause more harm than good to the human race in the long-run. I hope you enjoyed my presentation
