Enter ideas below: en-us 2022-03-24 16:43:11 UTC 2022-03-25 19:06:54 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114332778 In the Betz reading, rovers were sent out to Mars in hopes for extraction of soil content to take back to Earth. In the Robinson reading, contents of Mars were already taken back to Earth and DNA content was being studied (it was determined that it was mitochondrial DNA).]]> 2022-03-25 18:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114332778 https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114333189 Robinson
-Science communication is very difficult
-Most people do not actually understand how scientific work functions or the people do it

Betz
-More and more technology is being used to explore Mars
-Search for life is competitive (US vs China, like Space Race)
-Helicopter exceeded expectations - sometimes stuff works out well even on Mars]]> 2022-03-25 18:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114333189 https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114336186 The Betz reading covered how there were rovers being sent to Mars by various countries on earth to collect soil from Mars to study. The Robinson reading focused on the mRNA content of the soil that was collected.]]> 2022-03-25 18:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114336186 https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114336485 Group 8
Robinson
-Conflicting ideas between scientists and the public
-The lay person does not understand the difficulty and complexity of science

Betz
-There are other countries besides the United States conducting exploration of Mars
-New technologies allow for more efficient and effective exploration]]> 2022-03-25 18:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114336485 https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114336735 Betz:
-A variety of technology is required to explore Mars
-Collaboration can enhance the effectiveness of technology

Robinson:
-Most people will fear what they don't understand, and this can result in scientific discoveries being halted
-Whether or not life is discovered on Mars may have large consequences on future exploration/colonization of the planet]]> 2022-03-25 18:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114336735 https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114337444 - Betz: A rover was sent to Mars to bring back samples to determine if life on Mars is habitable.
- Robinson: Some people do not comprehend how science works and ultimately depend on one another to understand it.]]> 2022-03-25 18:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114337444 https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114337726 The Betz reading talked about how scientists are using different rovers to explore the Martian land. By collecting samples and sending them back to Earth, scientists can determine if life is or was ever present. Robinson, on the other hand, discusses the results of these samples and explains why it is difficult to post results to the public that an average individual can understand.]]> 2022-03-25 18:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114337726 https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114338872 Robinson focuses on censorship and relating it to the  citizens and limiting their knowledge  (when the Martians were considered to be closer to humans censorship wasn't a concern). Betz focuses on the probability of Martian life on Mars.]]> 2022-03-25 18:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114338872 https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114347849 Betz:
Focused on the Rovers being sent to Mars to collect soil. The samples were sent back to earth. Also asked the questions why would we go to Mars.

Robinson: 
How searching for life is competitive amongst nations. Also how scientific knowledge is built off one another. Also found Mitochondrial DNA in the soil.]]> 2022-03-25 19:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thralljo/5a1p3u5z27jmifck/wish/2114347849
