How to keep humans from ruining the search of life on Mars

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/manned-mission-mars-humans-microbes-life
This article talks about how Nasa is planning to send humans to mars. They want to send humans there by 2030, but there is another sector to be launched in 2024. Nasa doesn't want to send life to Mars so early because if they do then the research they are looking for could be ruined, they won't be able to find anything new or anything from the past. They also do not fully know if Mars is compatible for life yet.I find this interesting because one, I didn't even know they were thinking of sending people to Mars and especially not that soon! Also it was new to me knowing that they are still researching on mars, and I hope that they are able to send people up there and get things going.

    Wow times fly and that seems just around the corner better not blink! ;) But why would they even consider sending people to Mars when they don't even know if they will be able to survive? I hope they know what they are getting into.

    This article is very interesting and makes me ask a couple of questions. If Mars is not completely compatible for life, then why is NASA considering sending people there within the next few years? Also, if they don't want anything to get ruined or lost with humans travels to Mars, then why send them?

    Personally, the thought of sending people to Mars is scary. I certainly will not be volunteering to live on Mars. On the other hand, I think it is incredible that NASA plans to send people to Mars as soon as 2030. The article mentions that researchers are not sure if Mars is compatible for people to live on it quite yet. With 2030 right around the corner, my concern is that researchers will not know if Mars is truly safe for human settlement by that time.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
