THE CHALLENGE: Space Recreation
Journey to Mars

There is a great deal of interest from national space agencies to go to the Moon and Mars. ESA wants to go to the Moon and establish a village there. NASA wants to go to Mars. Astronauts and Cosmonauts from all over the world are already living aboard the ISS. What can they do in their free time? It can’t be all about reading books or game play on computers. Think of new sports or games that could take into account the low gravity (e.g. a space lacrosse game, extreme basketball). What about real or virtual experiences involving the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon? Or following the paths of Sojourner, Spirit or Curiosity on Mars using a form of cross-country skiing? Think of new ways for to astronauts to use their free time. To present your results develop an app that makes use of virtual reality tools.

Explanation

Exercise is an important part of the daily routine for astronauts aboard the station to prevent bone and muscle loss. On average, astronauts exercise two hours per day. The equipment they use is different than what we use on Earth. Lifting 200 pounds on Earth may be a lot of work. But lifting that same object in space would be much easier. Because of microgravity, it would weigh much less than 200 pounds there. That means exercise equipment needs to be specially designed for use in space so astronauts will receive the workout needed.

SEVEN EXERCISE ON MARS :

1) Crew Strength Training

Strong muscles and bones are important to overall health. They are necessary for performing chores and tasks at home, at school, or while playing. When lifting an object off the floor, pushing up out of bed, or bending to see under an object, you use upper and lower body strength. Physical activities such as these will help keep muscles and bones strong!

2) commander crunch" and "pilot plank


3) Crew Assembly Training

Improvements in dexterity and hand-eye coordination allow easy and quick assembly of objects. It builds muscle endurance while controlling hand movements, which allows the assembly of objects or equipment for a longer period of time without experiencing exhaustion.

4) Spacewalk!

Many activities require strength to support weight, and coordination to support weight and move without falling over. When riding a skateboard, doing push-ups, crawling across the ground, or lifting a backpack, you are developing muscular strength and coordination.

5) Agility Astro-Course


Agility requires quickness, strength, and good balance and coordination. Walking up and down stairs, hiking outdoors and playing tag are some daily activities that require agility.

6)Base Station Walk-Back

Being physically active is an important way to keep your muscles strong and your heart and lungs healthy. When shopping at the mall, touring a museum, or on the way to and from class at school, the lungs, heart, and other muscles benefit. They get stronger by being worked for long periods of time.

7)Jump for the Moon

Stronger bones allow you to run, jump, work and play with less chance of injury. A stronger heart and more muscular endurance will allow you to be physically active for a much longer time! You improve bone strength and heart and muscle endurance when repeatedly hopping on one leg, jumping rope or jumping to rebound a basketball.


Nutrition food on mars :

There are many types of food we can use it in mars I think you must chosse food with physiological changes on mars to and dangerous thing probable meet astronauts in space so my list is :

  1. potatoes
  2. piz
  3. macaroni
  4. cheese
  5. spaghetti

An oven is provided in the space station to heat foods to the proper temperature. There are no refrigerators in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to avoid spoilage, especially on longer missions.

Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nutritionists ensure the food astronauts eat provides them with a balanced supply of vitamins and minerals. Calorie requirements differ for astronauts. For instance, a small woman would require only about 1,900 calories a day, while a large man would require about 3,200 calories. An astronaut can choose from many types of foods such as fruits, nuts, peanut butter, chicken, beef, seafood, candy, brownies, etc. Available drinks include coffee, tea, orange juice, fruit punches and lemonade.

SEVEN DAYS ON MARS :

1) I will begin my day with little from potatoes adding water and little fruit.

2) little from cheese and water and little from candy.

3) macrona nd water and drinking.

4) I think that is day of chicken and water and orange juice .

5) seafood and water and little from lemonade

6) peanut butter and water and tea .

7) that is day of piz !!
