While modern science has debunked the Red Planet as a likely source of an alien invasion, today’s technology is bringing us closer to a crewed mission. The main source of power for some NASA Mars rovers comes from a multipanel solar array. tons for nuclear power. The concept is not new. Weighing the options.

Those findings might surprise physicists, who will be aware that the energy density of nuclear fission is so high that just a fingertip of uranium has an energy equivalent of 5000 barrels of oil. Indeed, it is understandable why people might fear radiation given that you can’t see it – yet the same can be said of the air that we breathe.

vital for new technologies that all of us use every day from solar panel technology to wind turbine, engineering design, and the creation of new alloys and polymers. Responsible for nuclear physics which has given us nuclear power, and nuclear medicine which has opened up new avenues of medical treatment for such things as cancer.

That talk helped the [National Center for Atmospheric Research] scientists to see the big picture clearly and early on.” Where just a few years earlier, Malthusians had demanded limits on energy consumption by claiming fossil fuels were scarce; now they demanded limits by claiming the atmosphere was scarce.”
