Discovered a huge amount of water ice on Mars. This fact favors the colonization

A few weeks ago, NASA published a sensational information indicating that on Mars there are large deposits of water ice. Now it turns out that it is much more than previously forecast.
This message is important from the point of view of colonization. It turns out that water ice is present there can only 2.5 centimeters below the surface but also in certain areas of the layers having a thickness of 1000 m. Caltech Scientists have confirmed the theory by Rober Leighton and Bruce Murray, which was founded in 1966.

Both believed that once the atmosphere of the Red Planet in as much as 95% consists of carbon dioxide. Over millions of years engaged in the pressure changes due to changes in the rotation axis of Mars. A great impact on changes in the atmosphere have also sunlight. Such great pressure fluctuation and eventually the enormous growth resulted in the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the vicinity of poles.
Today, on Mars there is a low pressure, but they are extensive, visible even from our planet, layers of dry ice and water. Not only that the latter can be in many places a depth of up to 1,000 meters, it still may be only 2.3 meters below the surface of dry ice. This is great news, because at the beginning of the extraction it will not need to use special equipment, just enough spade.

Importantly, the water ice is also present in other more convenient for people areas of the planet. As if that were not enough, water ice on Mars is quite a lot. In more than enough even for the functioning of the big city for many centuries. The only problem is that in the area of ​​polar prevail too low temperature for the construction of the first bases. Astronomers have appointed us so more convenient areas, namely those on the mid-latitudes, where areas are lower than in other parts of the planet.
The most promising seems to Arcadia. It is plain lying in the northern hemisphere. If SpaceX, NASA and China will want to send a manned mission to Mars and build a colony there first, it should consider what Arcadia. The researchers now intend to analyze more data. Their goal is to see how focused there water ice in all seasons. This is important from the point of view of the colonizers, who will have to remain on the surface of the Red Planet for a year or two and at the same time have constant access to water.

Do it yourself or build a beautiful Cybertrucka a paper

Since German security experts believe that Cybertruck not appear on European roads, because they do not meet the regulations restykcyjnych, it will at least be able to look himself for his DIY.

Alex channel DIY Designer / Fold Up Toy on YouTube decided to create a Tesla electric pickup of cardboard. Of course, you will not be able to drive it because it’s small model, but it is on its construction will be able to count on having a good time and a small test their skills.
Construction Cybertrucka DIY cardboard, is further proof that the idea of ​​Elon Musk on one of the most strange vehicles, which will go into series production, it is a hit. At the moment, Tesla already has nearly 300,000 orders for this vehicle, and the need to emphasize here that the majority of them concerns the most expensive version.
Gwynne suggests using cards with a weight of 150-200 grams per square meter (gsm) and the matt finish will be in this case much better than glossy. All you really need is a printer, scissors, glue and a little patience and creativity. Good luck!


CityBot the multi-purpose modular robot on wheels will soon appear on the streets of the metropolis

The company has long EDAG presents a thought-provoking concept vehicles, such as light car with a 3D printer or sports car with retractable sleeping, and now revealed another idea.

A question about the revolutionary CityBot, which is an autonomous vehicle that due to the relevant module is able to perform all the necessary work in the urban space. It consists of moving on 4 wheels cabin with head and robotic modules placed beside her depending on their activities – may be the place for a passenger, cleaning items or containers for transporting varying content. With three such modules, the robot can work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, helping the opportunity to protect the environment.
CityBot is equipped with a motor for the hydrogen fuel, which does not emit any harmful substances, and this can be very easy to obtain. And we are not talking about the traditional mining methods, but even the production of municipal waste, which has the same advantages – get rid of the garbage, and this one is not dependent on suppliers from countries with rich deposits, and so the price of the fuel should be attractive. In the case of a vehicle urban important here is the fact that refueling takes much less time than loading, which would require the use of an electric motor.

According EDAG is ideal for crowded cities of the future, because it can also replace private vehicles. With the company estimates that one CityBot is able to replace up to 4 private cars inhabitants, 100% satisfying their transportation needs. And if we add the possibility of cleaning, dumping of sewage, supply of goods and many others, we have a multi-purpose vehicle for nearly everything. The company predicts that in the future CityBoty have a chance to eliminate the road 80% of the other vehicle, and that can operate in a larger network, it will be with their help regulate city traffic, even eliminating traffic jams during peak hours.
These are very bold assumption, but there is no denying that in the face of increasing urban problems must be. If you want some time to live in a cleaner, safer and less poisonous space, we need a really brave ideas. EDAG is indeed not alone in his ideas, because although the vehicle has a “head”, through which it is able to carry on a conversation with the locals, it is strongly reminiscent of projects such as the recently disclosed Scania NXT or Snap Rinspeed.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
