NASA's 'Treasure Map' of Water Ice on Mars

       As NASA wanted to follow the water on mars they have and have found places for humans to land. With the data that they have they have been able to find one landing spot on the plant that promises water just a inch under the surface. With this we are able to soon send a research team up there. With this spot it would be ideal to land due to it being temperate, mid latitude region with plenty of sunlight. With this map NASA will be able to find more landing for research teams on the planet. With this easy discover by 2030 NASA is looking at sending a research team up, but with the water ice caps there is plenty of water but it would not be good for a long mission because its too cold and dark for a part of the year.

 Reflection: I think this is great news due that we might be able to explore mars in 2030 and learn if we could actually inhabit this planet and if this works out we could be inhabiting two planets and getting closer to unknown planets in our solar system. This will also let us know that we can actually move to new planets if we need to and allow us to discover new planets that we could live on.

    I thought the plan was to have people on Mars by like 2022. But maybe that was SpaceX's plan.

    The knowledge side the space race has greatly increased witch allows us to expand .

    While this is most definitely a cool, and life changing discovery, I would say it's safe to say that nothing regarding inhabiting the planet Mars will be happening anytime soon. I definitely don't think it's the safest idea either to send a big group of people to Mars, being that we have yet to learn more about it's environment and capability of sustaining actual life. However, I'm not doubting that it may be a possibility in the far future.

    This is incredible how far we've come as far as space exploration. My only concern is people will begin to view the Earth as more expandable than they already do due to the fact that we could inhabit elsewhere.

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
