Taylor B. ---hour 5--that is so awsome that the Phoneix is going to land on mars on May 25th. If i created that i'd be like so scared that it would like not work. How long didi it take to build it? I can't wait to find out if it lands safely on mars!
The video event will (hopefully) take place on May 25, 2008! do u guys think things will happen the way the video showed it? After all it takes 7 min. for a sygnal 2 get from mars 2 earth!
- Courtney K. hr. 7
YO HOMIES HR. 5 COLE that is very cool thatsomething new is supposedly going to land on mars this may. I also think that our new technology (since 2001 or 2003 when we sent the first rovers to Mars) will help us find new things about Mars and it's past. AND YES SCIENCE WITH MS. RATZEL PWNS. YA YA YA BABY!!!!!!!!!!
hr6 chance, courtney k. hr7 it takes alot of skill to make everything in the video happen in real life, so I doubt exactly everything in the video will happen but something close to that will happen
Hr 8 Jamie- On the frist video it showed it landing but when it droped the little bubbles came out and bounced safly on mars but with this one it has to land it's self by useing little rockets attached to it. Also It explained what Phioxe is sopded to do not just show you. The website says it's going to land on the 25th of MAy. What if Phinox dosen't land correctly wolud they have to start all over?
Mrs. R.....what do you think about the fact that it takes 7 minutes for it to go through the Martian atmosphere and 10 minutes for the communications signal to get back to Earth. I thought it was amazing when the engineer talked about how the whole thing will really be over by the time they get the first part of the messaging back.
Think about what that means...right now when you click the mouse out on the Internet....a signal zips across the whole country...maybe even the whole world. Yet it appears that the trip really just happened inside the computer box. Compare that to the signal that is sent from Mars. It takes 10 minutes for it to get back to Earth.
Mars must be a really, really long way away from here if you think about it.
Lauren hour7:) on may 25 this robot will land on mars but the very hard problem they have to fix is the landing. the landing is the hardest because this robot is flying at 125 mph and since mars is so far away from earth it takes 10 minutes fo a single message to get to earth so they won't know if it will land safly because when it lands it would already land and they have to wwait 10 more minutes to get to earth.
Chloe hr.5) I think it would be really hard for a scientist who has worked really hard on something like this to know that they will get the signals 10 minutes after there spacecraft entered the atmosphere and landed. It must be very difficult like Lauren said because it's flying at 9,000 something miles per hour and it has to slow down completely. Plus they talked about how it has to know when its going to get rid of its heat sheild and parachute. The people who programmed it had to be really smart.
hour 6~*♥ Danielle♥*~-- i found out through my reaserch that it would have camera in its arm to send back photos.. i thought that was neat what about you??
hour 6~*♥ Danielle♥*~-- i also found that it is designed to find out wether there is ife of not. this could mean bactiria like on earth where some of the most unlikley places have bacteria. how cool!!! if there is life and we say " whats in the sky martians??" there really would be somethig called martians!
Muriel (Hour 8)- I don't think that the Univercy of AZ would have the power name it Phonox? I think they should have named it Arizona as in the USS Arizona? What do you think?
hour 6~*♥ Danielle♥*~muriel-- if there is bacteria bacteria is concedered life.. if there is not life now besides bacteria i think there could have been once a long long time ago. what about you???
hour 6~*♥ Danielle♥*~ i think there is ... but i also think that out in the universe there could be sonmething realy close to earth.. so what about you
hour 6~*♥ Danielle♥*~ muriel---yeah but robots are super safe the only thing that can go wrong is the robots itself no people so its an awesme way i think
hour 6~*♥ Danielle♥*~ muriel-- i think so i think there could even be another earth some where else in space so i think its very possible everything once had or has life on it
hour 6~*♥ Danielle♥*~ muriel-- once again i say two words special effects. movies are designed to make things look belivable like robots taking over the world or vampires or thing like that
hour 6~*♥ Danielle♥*~ A NOTE TO EVERY ONE-- IF YOU HAVE TO KEEP LOGGING OUT AND THEN LOGGING BACK IN TO SEE THE NEW COMENTS JUST CLICK THE REFRESH BUTTON IT IS A LOT FASTER!!
Muriel (Hour 8)- Daniele! it is not the movie that counts... it is the idea. See the Genissis project is a giant capusil full of life, when it is releasted on a planet with no life... Woosh... suddently it has a whole word on it
hour 6~*♥ Danielle♥*~ muriel-- dio you now about the plaques what if something like that happend except there was no way to stop it .. suddenly.. no life.. get the point??
hour 6~*♥ Danielle♥*~ muriel--e verwhere, everytime,everyplace,everyreason, i think in space its full of possiblities and literaly unbelivable things. u??
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, maybe not literaly, the only think is hard to belive is what , need to know, not we already know, and we are still trying to solve that, (oh, by we, I mean Earth)
hour 5 jake- those people must be really smart, there are so many problems to get it there but i think we can get it Like think about all we have succeeded in I MEAN COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! instead of asking how could it fail it should be how can it not fail. really
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- the robot is solar powered. its solar pannels are really big so it cant relly move around. do you think solar pannels were a good idea?? why??
Muriel (Hour 8)- Acutally Jake, there is tons of reasons of reasons why it would fail, landing hard, not reciving signal, not trammisiting the signal, not getting cought in the gravitational pull, the cool robot claw not working, too hot, too cold
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel--- it could be like the solar pannels we have on earth, since it cant really move around, you could just add a way to store the power
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--- muriel-- what if it worked for 10 sec, and only got the smallest amount of data? that small piece could be enough to prove life on mars, which is what the robot is designed forso even though it wasnt long it did its mission
Kelvin-Hour 5- I think that it is cool that they have sent a rover out to Mars to investigate. I think that they will find something interesting that will be a big thing, but we still have to make everything perfect so nothing goes wrong with the EDL or everything would be ruined. (By the way, EDL means Entry, Descent, and Landing)
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~---- muriel-- even if they tested it 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 times something still could go wrong, no matter how unlikley
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- probably not... unless something happens to earth , we all live on the moon, moon gets to crowded then we have to move to mars
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, Danielle; we don't have that long to live b/c of GLOBIAL WARMING. and if we do we could live on the life- filled Mars or moon of saturn (Titan) [hopefully that contains life also]
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--mureil--what could go wrong?? um lets see.. human like forms, or martians that kill the robot 10 minutes before we know about it ??
Muriel (Hour 8)- See danielle, we don't use fuel, only to get in and out of atmospheres, we use the gravitational pull and sling shot our way around the solar system, but to Saturn, 7 years
Jordahn 6 to inter this we would have to travel really fast just to get to saturn and tryin to make sure that we have enough for supply for everyone and yes only a coupla of rockets would work and some could have and accident wit da othr thenit would b as big deal
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, I (M_U_R_I_E_L) think that THERE ARE NO MARTIANS ON MARS, if there were Earth would have been blown up by a neuclar bomb b/c they probally evolve faster then us
Muriel (Hour 8)- no danielle, the sun would have collasped on itself, then its magintude would wipe out all of the plantets from meucury to Juspiter, and GLOBIAL WARMING would have caused an ICE AGE
Hour 8 ==Jack== In response to Muriel's question about EDL. / EDL stands for Entry, Descent, Landing, or the seven minutes of terror the craft will go through right before it touches down.
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jordahn of hour 6, Saturn is a gas planet how would we live there? TITAN is the answer, in band we had a song about titian and there is life on TITAN!
Hour 8 == Jack === I really enjoyed the video, it was very well done, but what I want to point out is that the Seven Minutes of Terror are the final moments before touchdown, mainly Entry, descent, and Landing. It's quite interesting.
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--muriel-- theroy i think what things like the string theroy and such are wrong just b/c its a world of posibilities and people have narrowed it down to one?? un-uh
Hour 8 ==Jack == In response to Muriel Hour 8 / I guess it's possible, considering Titan is terrestrial, but I think it will probably take more time then Seven Minutes because of the thick atmosphere.
Hour 8==Jack=== In response to Muriel Hour 8 / I believe the seven minutes of terror is referring to the amount of time it takes for Entry, Descent, and Landing on Mars
Hour 8 ==Jack== In response to Muriel hour 8 / Gosh, you have a lot of questions. But I think we'll get to Titan the same way we'll get anywhere, by punching right through the gas, and besides we've already landed a probe on Titan
Oh, and Hour 6 Danielle===GLOBAL WARMING is a myth, sorry to burst your bubble, but don't get off topic.
*Jordahn* hr. 6 this was so intrestin i mean i really actually wanted to watch it no offense mrs. r but um like Is this something that is goin ta happen or is it somethin that already did happen. think'n that if 1 lil thing goes wrong they would have there lives at risk for dyig real quick. i cant beleive this but i can at the same time. it wood b so scary to be in that whike it is landing cuz i mean like u wodnt no exactly everything thats goin on and knoin that if u make 1 itsy bisty mistake ur life could b ovr just like that on a trip that would have ben real successful.
wat did every one else think?
muriel and danielle had good ideas i agree with both of the
Jordahn 6 hr. for jamie idk but i dont think it could cuz like we had a video sayin that if the earth was any closer to the sun we would b to hott an dye but if it was any farther it would just b to cold so i dont thinkso wat bout u
Hour8==Jack== In response to Hour 8 Jamie / I'm guessing they do, Global Warming( and Cooling) is a natural process the Earth goes through over the milennia, and I can't see why other planets go through the cycle, too.
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, thouse things are sooooo cool and just fun, and why do you want to say on earth, wouldnt you want to go visit Alpha Centuri? Or visit the 22 Demension! Would that be cool or what?
i dint mean mars i ment mrs ratzel cuz i dont like science that much but um like in miss kennedys class we r reading a wrinkle in time it is bout space and dif. solar systems and stuff like that and it is talking bout how u can tesser to dif. places
Hour 8 ==Jack== In response to Muriel Hour 8 / I know that Voyager released a probe that orbited Jupiter, and we recently landed a craft on a comet, or asteriod, I can't remember
Jordahn 6 hr. muriel that would b really kewl ta go visit dif places and see dif things that is normal on earth and just b able to branch out to new things i like earth a whole lot but there is just to learn bout other places and i already no bout alot of stuff on earth i wouldnt want to move or anythin cuz i am used to stuff here and the way i live now
Jordahn Hr. 6 hold on dont comets move?? the dont just stay in one area like planets dont either neither does earth but the have there an area were they stay dont comets just move every where
Thinking about it one of the main causes of global warming is carbon; so earth is one of the few planets that have carbon so other planets couldn't do it. Also poulltion plays it part. So planet like neptune or pluto can't go thourgh the process. Jamie.s Hour :8
jordahn hr. 6 muriel dont u think that not everythin in other places we would be able to adapted to cuz we already have r way of livin the could have food that is poison to us homes time weather stuff that we dont kno about that could b harmful
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jordahn, comets orbit like we do, their tails point away from the sun, mainly comets are dirty snow balls full of space junk (scrapnel)
Elizabeth w.~~~Hour 7~~that was really cool! So are they going to try to have it land on may 25? I think that it is amazing that the windshield of the phoenix can get so hot and such a high temperature, but the inside will stay at room temperature. How does the phoenix keep the interior so low if around it, the atmosphere is burning?
Hour 8 ==Jack== In response to Hour 8 Muriel / A comet tail is made up of light dust and evaporating vapors that are melting off the nucleus as it travels closer to the Sun.
In response to Jordahn Hour 6 / the craft used a special kind of super-light gel to trap the tiny particles, after it collected for a while, it reversed direction to the Earth, and landed in the sea.
Jordahn hr.6 that is really cool that would like burn up my skin o and thnx for that info bout the comet i dint kno that wat if the matches or wat u use the to make the fire to make it warm
elizabeth w.~~hour 7~~ muriel asked if it took seven minutes to get to the surface of mars. I'm not sure if this is right, but from what i understand, it takes 7 minutes to get to the actual surface of mars, and then it will take 10 more minutes for one signal to get back to earth.

Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- i agree with that, it kinda has to be almost perfect for it to work
Science Class said
at 6:49 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- danielle, I notest you said almost perfect, ALMOST?
Science Class said
at 6:50 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel--- it could be like the solar pannels we have on earth, since it cant really move around, you could just add a way to store the power
Science Class said
at 6:50 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- can anything be trully perfect???
Science Class said
at 6:50 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- danielle, it would HAVE to work or 1.3 billion $$$$$ went down the drain
Science Class said
at 6:51 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- And yes danielle, according to NASA, you can never be to perfect or right in my case
Science Class said
at 6:53 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- I wonder what is inside Mars? A Core? A Mantle?
Science Class said
at 6:53 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--- muriel-- what if it worked for 10 sec, and only got the smallest amount of data? that small piece could be enough to prove life on mars, which is what the robot is designed forso even though it wasnt long it did its mission
Science Class said
at 6:53 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--muriel-- both??? like earth??

at 6:54 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn 6th hr. um my thing isnt working had did u get it up
Science Class said
at 6:54 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Again Danielle do you want 1.3 billion $$$ of your taxes and probally 20 years of your time for 10 seconds. I dont think so
Science Class said
at 6:55 pm on May 6, 2008
Kelvin-Hour 5- I think that it is cool that they have sent a rover out to Mars to investigate. I think that they will find something interesting that will be a big thing, but we still have to make everything perfect so nothing goes wrong with the EDL or everything would be ruined. (By the way, EDL means Entry, Descent, and Landing)
Science Class said
at 6:56 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jordahn, you have to click on the side bar under Entry Descent and Landing" click on the words
Science Class said
at 6:56 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--jordan---- i didnt load the video i just went to a website and found all the info i needed to understand it
Science Class said
at 6:57 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Why, Kelvin, would anything go wrong? They probally tested it a million times
Science Class said
at 6:57 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- i dont think it relly matters if we get anything on mrs so soon we always have the futer right??
Science Class said
at 6:58 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle I dont get what you are saying???
Science Class said
at 6:59 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~---- muriel-- even if they tested it 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 times something still could go wrong, no matter how unlikley
Science Class said
at 6:59 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Do you mean the future doesn't realy on us finding life on Mars?
Science Class said
at 6:59 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- we will always have the futer to improve if we dont get anything on mars yet right??
Science Class said
at 7:00 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- danielle that doesn't matter, its probality, 1 in 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 chance it could go wrong
Science Class said
at 7:01 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- probably not... unless something happens to earth , we all live on the moon, moon gets to crowded then we have to move to mars
Science Class said
at 7:01 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- still soething could go wrong
Science Class said
at 7:02 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, Danielle; we don't have that long to live b/c of GLOBIAL WARMING. and if we do we could live on the life- filled Mars or moon of saturn (Titan) [hopefully that contains life also]
Science Class said
at 7:02 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn 6th hr. Danielle and muriel do you think this was very interesting
Science Class said
at 7:02 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Yes danielle, what could ever go wrong?
Science Class said
at 7:04 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- of cource Jordahn, it is very intriguing and never gets boring b/c soooo many new probalms pop up out of nowhere (actually space)
Science Class said
at 7:04 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- how long would it take to go to saturn--only a limmited amount fit on rockets then the rest ofus would be dead
Science Class said
at 7:05 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--mureil--what could go wrong?? um lets see.. human like forms, or martians that kill the robot 10 minutes before we know about it ??
Science Class said
at 7:06 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- See danielle, we don't use fuel, only to get in and out of atmospheres, we use the gravitational pull and sling shot our way around the solar system, but to Saturn, 7 years
Science Class said
at 7:07 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn 6 to inter this we would have to travel really fast just to get to saturn and tryin to make sure that we have enough for supply for everyone and yes only a coupla of rockets would work and some could have and accident wit da othr thenit would b as big deal
Science Class said
at 7:07 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- ONLY 7 YEARS!!! WE WOULD HAVE DIED OF GLOBAL WARMING
Science Class said
at 7:08 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, I (M_U_R_I_E_L) think that THERE ARE NO MARTIANS ON MARS, if there were Earth would have been blown up by a neuclar bomb b/c they probally evolve faster then us
Science Class said
at 7:10 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--muriel (sorry) what if they go slower or thats how earth was greated big bang , necular bombs give of big bangs
Science Class said
at 7:10 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- no danielle, the sun would have collasped on itself, then its magintude would wipe out all of the plantets from meucury to Juspiter, and GLOBIAL WARMING would have caused an ICE AGE
Science Class said
at 7:10 pm on May 6, 2008
would 7 years b wen we would hav da techno that would get us to saturn safe and alive?
Jordahn 6 hr.
Science Class said
at 7:11 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- No, danielle neuks do not make big bangs, a univerce collapsing would cause a big bang
Science Class said
at 7:12 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- - muriel- well if no one really knows what happened than howew could that have happened
Science Class said
at 7:12 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8 ==Jack== In response to Muriel's question about EDL. / EDL stands for Entry, Descent, Landing, or the seven minutes of terror the craft will go through right before it touches down.
Science Class said
at 7:13 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jordahn of hour 6, Saturn is a gas planet how would we live there? TITAN is the answer, in band we had a song about titian and there is life on TITAN!
Science Class said
at 7:13 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jack, can we EDL on titan?
Science Class said
at 7:14 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- possibley....
Science Class said
at 7:14 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, the big bang is a theroy along with strings
Science Class said
at 7:14 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle anything is possible if we have the tech
Science Class said
at 7:15 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8 == Jack === I really enjoyed the video, it was very well done, but what I want to point out is that the Seven Minutes of Terror are the final moments before touchdown, mainly Entry, descent, and Landing. It's quite interesting.
Science Class said
at 7:15 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--muriel-- theroy i think what things like the string theroy and such are wrong just b/c its a world of posibilities and people have narrowed it down to one?? un-uh
Science Class said
at 7:16 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jack, does all of that take 7 min, what about the 10 min transmittion
Science Class said
at 7:17 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--muriel-- thats what everyone is saying think outside the box◘mabey thinks arent ment to be discovered
Science Class said
at 7:17 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8 ==Jack == In response to Muriel Hour 8 / I guess it's possible, considering Titan is terrestrial, but I think it will probably take more time then Seven Minutes because of the thick atmosphere.
Science Class said
at 7:17 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle what about different deminisons, 2 and 3 and 4...................................
Science Class said
at 7:17 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jack/8/ how would we get in to the atmosphere?
Science Class said
at 7:18 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--muriel-- those coud exist i think they do abd have our alter egos
Science Class said
at 7:18 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, things HAVE to be discovered, what would happen if we didnt discover GLOBIAL WARMING!
Science Class said
at 7:18 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8==Jack=== In response to Muriel Hour 8 / I believe the seven minutes of terror is referring to the amount of time it takes for Entry, Descent, and Landing on Mars
Science Class said
at 7:19 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, does the earth wonder about alter egos or GLOBIAL WARMING?
Science Class said
at 7:20 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- So Jack of eighth hour, what would be the EDL of Saturn? Or Titan?
Science Class said
at 7:20 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- we would all die and not no why,,,,,,and the earth wonders about everything
Science Class said
at 7:21 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8 ==Jack== In response to Muriel hour 8 / Gosh, you have a lot of questions. But I think we'll get to Titan the same way we'll get anywhere, by punching right through the gas, and besides we've already landed a probe on Titan
Oh, and Hour 6 Danielle===GLOBAL WARMING is a myth, sorry to burst your bubble, but don't get off topic.
Science Class said
at 7:22 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, WE could all die, but the rest of the univerce would just keep trucking
Science Class said
at 7:22 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8 ==Jack== In Response to Hour 8 Muriel / I have absolutely no clue.
Science Class said
at 7:23 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jack [8] Why didnt our probe dectct any life forms?
Science Class said
at 7:23 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- if its a myth then we could really b in no danger and not have to move titan or moon or mars......
Science Class said
at 7:23 pm on May 6, 2008
*Jordahn* hr. 6 this was so intrestin i mean i really actually wanted to watch it no offense mrs. r but um like Is this something that is goin ta happen or is it somethin that already did happen. think'n that if 1 lil thing goes wrong they would have there lives at risk for dyig real quick. i cant beleive this but i can at the same time. it wood b so scary to be in that whike it is landing cuz i mean like u wodnt no exactly everything thats goin on and knoin that if u make 1 itsy bisty mistake ur life could b ovr just like that on a trip that would have ben real successful.
wat did every one else think?
muriel and danielle had good ideas i agree with both of the
Science Class said
at 7:24 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, We WANT to... and WILL...

Science Class said
at 7:25 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8 ==Jack== In response to Hour 8 Muriel / I don't know, did it? I don't know anything about this stuff beyond we got a probe on Titan.
Science Class said
at 7:25 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jordahn, why would offence Mars? What is not to belevie?
Science Class said
at 7:26 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jack *8*, do you know anything about other probes
Science Class said
at 7:26 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, like Jack said, alter egos are a MYTH,
Science Class said
at 7:26 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- but i personly like staying on earth and having things to wonder about like paralell dimensions
Science Class said
at 7:27 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn 6 hr. for jamie idk but i dont think it could cuz like we had a video sayin that if the earth was any closer to the sun we would b to hott an dye but if it was any farther it would just b to cold so i dont thinkso wat bout u
Science Class said
at 7:27 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jamie, Maybe, but not in our solar system.
Science Class said
at 7:27 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour8==Jack== In response to Hour 8 Jamie / I'm guessing they do, Global Warming( and Cooling) is a natural process the Earth goes through over the milennia, and I can't see why other planets go through the cycle, too.
Science Class said
at 7:27 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- muriel-- and so is global warming
Science Class said
at 7:28 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8==Jack== But then again, I'm not a scientist
Science Class said
at 7:29 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, thouse things are sooooo cool and just fun, and why do you want to say on earth, wouldnt you want to go visit Alpha Centuri? Or visit the 22 Demension! Would that be cool or what?
Science Class said
at 7:29 pm on May 6, 2008
i dint mean mars i ment mrs ratzel cuz i dont like science that much but um like in miss kennedys class we r reading a wrinkle in time it is bout space and dif. solar systems and stuff like that and it is talking bout how u can tesser to dif. places
Science Class said
at 7:30 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~--muriel-- dimensions== TOTALLY ROCKIN other stars/planets- not so much
Science Class said
at 7:30 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- I concur with 8 Jack, we are not causing GLOBIAL WARMING! but maybe a ICE AGE, or the 11 plague!
Science Class said
at 7:30 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8 ==Jack== In response to Muriel Hour 8 / I know that Voyager released a probe that orbited Jupiter, and we recently landed a craft on a comet, or asteriod, I can't remember
Science Class said
at 7:31 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Danielle, why not go and take a peek?
Science Class said
at 7:31 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 6 ~*☺Danielle☺*~-- mureil- idont think were causing anything its just a cycle, like water except deadlier

Science Class said
at 7:32 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn 6 hr. muriel that would b really kewl ta go visit dif places and see dif things that is normal on earth and just b able to branch out to new things i like earth a whole lot but there is just to learn bout other places and i already no bout alot of stuff on earth i wouldnt want to move or anythin cuz i am used to stuff here and the way i live now

Science Class said
at 7:33 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8 ==Jack== In response to Hour 8 Muriel / It was probably an asteriod, I know we sent a craft that picked up dust from a comet
Science Class said
at 7:34 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Still Jordahn and Danielle, it would be fun to adapt to thouse conditions, What do you think?

Science Class said
at 7:35 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn Hr. 6 hold on dont comets move?? the dont just stay in one area like planets dont either neither does earth but the have there an area were they stay dont comets just move every where
Science Class said
at 7:35 pm on May 6, 2008
Thinking about it one of the main causes of global warming is carbon; so earth is one of the few planets that have carbon so other planets couldn't do it. Also poulltion plays it part. So planet like neptune or pluto can't go thourgh the process. Jamie.s Hour :8
Science Class said
at 7:36 pm on May 6, 2008
I noticed that Phoenix will hit the top of the martian atmosphere at 5.7 Kilometers per second.
Science Class said
at 7:36 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Again Danielle, Why Not? Think about the martians earler, people living on a sun would probally want to come and visit here
Science Class said
at 7:36 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8 ==Jack== In Response Hour 8 Muriel / Sure there is! what do you think drifts out behind a comet in the tail?
Science Class said
at 7:37 pm on May 6, 2008
jordahn hr. 6 muriel dont u think that not everythin in other places we would be able to adapted to cuz we already have r way of livin the could have food that is poison to us homes time weather stuff that we dont kno about that could b harmful
Science Class said
at 7:37 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jordahn, comets orbit like we do, their tails point away from the sun, mainly comets are dirty snow balls full of space junk (scrapnel)
Science Class said
at 7:38 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Hmmm, Jordahn you may have a point... but we could always bring our own food
Science Class said
at 7:39 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jack? What is a comets' tail made of anywhay?
Science Class said
at 7:39 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn hr. 6 Jack but how would we capture comet ?? how would we get the back
Science Class said
at 7:40 pm on May 6, 2008
yes comets move in narrow olvals. Also i dont know if there is such thing comet dust Ill look that up
Science Class said
at 7:40 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jordahn, we could some whow corner it and heat it up so we can study it,
ps, a comet is so hot it is cold.
Science Class said
at 7:40 pm on May 6, 2008
jordahn/ so like that one belt is the astroids or comets
Science Class said
at 7:41 pm on May 6, 2008
Sorry again that comet was by Jamie.S
Science Class said
at 7:42 pm on May 6, 2008
Elizabeth w.~~~Hour 7~~that was really cool! So are they going to try to have it land on may 25? I think that it is amazing that the windshield of the phoenix can get so hot and such a high temperature, but the inside will stay at room temperature. How does the phoenix keep the interior so low if around it, the atmosphere is burning?
Science Class said
at 7:43 pm on May 6, 2008
Hour 8 ==Jack== In response to Hour 8 Muriel / A comet tail is made up of light dust and evaporating vapors that are melting off the nucleus as it travels closer to the Sun.
In response to Jordahn Hour 6 / the craft used a special kind of super-light gel to trap the tiny particles, after it collected for a while, it reversed direction to the Earth, and landed in the sea.
Science Class said
at 7:43 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn hr.6 that is really cool that would like burn up my skin o and thnx for that info bout the comet i dint kno that wat if the matches or wat u use the to make the fire to make it warm
Science Class said
at 7:43 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Wait, Jamie, so there IS such a thing as a comet belt
Science Class said
at 7:44 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- of cource jordahn it would be cool to stand on the sun
Science Class said
at 7:44 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn hr. 6 but still this wat if u couldnt get the rite kind of gel to make it stick
Science Class said
at 7:45 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Jack, if the nucleus is melting what happends to the electrons?
Science Class said
at 7:45 pm on May 6, 2008
elizabeth w.~~hour 7~~ muriel asked if it took seven minutes to get to the surface of mars. I'm not sure if this is right, but from what i understand, it takes 7 minutes to get to the actual surface of mars, and then it will take 10 more minutes for one signal to get back to earth.
Science Class said
at 7:46 pm on May 6, 2008
I belive so I need to look that up. Jamie.s
Science Class said
at 7:46 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn r. 6 that would like be the most coolest thing to stand on the sun muriel we could go together lol!!!!
Science Class said
at 7:46 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- Seriouly Jordahn, it would be fun, we could adapt on the sun and practice being on gas planets, after all the sun is made of gas
Science Class said
at 7:47 pm on May 6, 2008
Muriel (Hour 8)- So Elezabeth it would be 17 min?
Science Class said
at 7:48 pm on May 6, 2008
Jordahn hr. 6 Elizabeth hr. 7 i dint kno that it took 7 minutes to get there i thought it took longr
