1According to the future scene, MMEI is sending people to Mars who have an average age of 75, this is a problem, becuase people with this age are fragile and may have complications during the trip.DM
5
2According to the future scene, the solar sail can go around 200,000 mph, this is a problem because no one has created a machine that travels this fast so it may have complications during the trip.DM
6
3According to the future scene, if you make a trip to Mars you will not be able to return to Earth alive. This is a problem, becuase if over time, Mars started to be unhumanible the humans that are there will not be able to leave knowing that they will live.DM
7
4The future scene states that MMEI remotely adjusted the AI's thermostats after they found out that the temeperature was too extreme on Mars, this is a problem, becuase if something was remotly adjusted then it could break down again. DM
8
5According to the future scene, when the change of the temperatures on the Artificial Intelligence the humans when they go to mars the temperatures will be different if humans go on mars and will be diffrent to there body. And will result they won't be able to adapt to the extreme temputures that are on mars P
9
6According to the future scence, The trip will take 30 days and then you also can't come back so they may not have enough food or water to last them that whole time that they will be there P
10
7According to the future scence, Solar Sail only use solar power and wind power to get there and use any sort of electronics so it will be hard to get any thing to work at night because you may not have the sun right there to get the solar power.P
11
8According to the future scence, when MMEI send real people to mars they don't send profesionals to mars they send ramdom people that don't know what they are doing. P
12
9According to the future scene, MMEI has a top speed of 200,000 mph, this is a probelm because the fast speeds going to Mars can change the human body's lobe iternally which can cause issues with the brain.D
13
10According to the future scene, Micra pacemaker stabilizers have been placed in each astronaut to address physical stresses caused by space flight, this is a problem because medical advances have increased the human life expectancy to 110 which can cause faster population aging causing people to become old at a fixed chronological age.D
14
11According to the future scene, Astro-phychologists agree that older astronauts should have life experience and proven mental stability to enable them to face challenges, this is a problem because the older astronauts can have bone loss or muscle weakening and the medication or exercise may not work all the time.D
15
12According to the future scene, Artificial Intelligience robots rush across the new landscape of Mars, this is a problem because the robots can crash and cause an explosion.D
16
13Because there is barly any water they will have a difficlult time growing plants (even if they get to that point). M
17
14Because the average age of the pasanger is 75 years old they wont be emune as a 20 ish person.M
18
15According to furture scence, MMEI has spent billions of dollars on this one project to mars and it could go wrong at any second and they just wasted their money. M
19
16According to the future scene, stabilizars have been placed in each asronaut, this could be a problem becuase they have not been tested on the harsh climate on Mars.M

STEP 2. Select an Underlying Problem
22
23
Based on the challenges you listed in Step 1, identify a challenge of major importance. Write your underlying problem in question form. Include a condition phrase and the words, "In what ways might we…?" or "How might we…?" Your problem should clearly explain what you want to do and the reason it should be done. The box is expandable and will resize to your entry. The text wrap feature should be on. If not, you can enable it above from the toolbar.
24
25
To show a connection between Step 1 and Step 2, in the space below, identify by number the Step 1 challenge(s) from which your underlying problem was developed. (This is optional and is not scored.)
26
Challenge #4&5
27
28
Technicians can remotely adjust the AI thermostats to make them able to withstand the extreme temperatures on Mars. Humans, however, do not have thermostats that can be adjusted. How might we improve the atmospheric conditions of the Mars colony so that humans can live safely in 2042 and beyond to work in the colonies?

STEP 3. Produce Solution Ideas
32
33
Produce as many solution ideas as you can to your underlying problem. Choose your 16 most promising solution ideas and write them in the space provided. Write each solution idea in a sentence statement that describes who will carry out what action, how it will be done, why it will solve the problem and where and when the solution will take place. The entry cells will expand when you key your entry. The text wrap feature should be enabled. If it is not, you can enable from the toolbar above

1To improve the atmospheric conditions on Mars engineers, with all of their gear, can be sent with the other volunteers so that they can fix anything that could possibly happen. DM
36
2One way to test if the conditions on Mars are able to provide human life is to send human-like robots to Mars. These robots will have to survive the ride there and the atmospheric conditions on Mars. After a period of time, if they survive then the people will be able to survive as well. DM
37
3To improve the AI's thermostats, technicians can add technistrip, a box that can withstand any tempereature and is industructable, to all of the AI robots. This will help, because it will allow for them to build colonies on Mars without complications.DM
38
4For the MMEI to know how humans will adapt to the Mars colony, scieintists can make a syrum for all volunteers going to Mars for the first time. This allows for the specialist's blood to adapt to the weather surrounding them.DM
39
5To make it better they should make a suit that can determane the climate outside and change to that tempature on the oustside so if its hot outside youre a cooler temputure and if its cold outside then you have warm temputure .P
40
6They could have a spacecraft that whenn it gets to mars it makes a small house or building that will adapt to the temputures so you wont be to cold or to hotP
41
7P
42
8To improve the ability for humans to live on Mars safely is to invent an atmospheric a/c that will work correctly in the atmosphere and it blows warm air if its cold and cool air if it's warm.P
43
9To improve the atmospheric conditions so that humans can live on Mars safely is by using an portable oxygen cylinder so that the humans would use the mask to have air and it would be easy for them to use. They should also have a stock of oxygen tanks so that people can get new tanks when oxygen is out of their recently used tank.D
44
10To improve atmospheric conditions so that humans could live on Mars safely is to decomtaminate the soil because the soil is toxic so you wouldn't be able to plant anything and by decomtaminating the soil you would be able to plant.D
45
11To improve the atmospheric conditions so that humans can live on Mars safely is to have supplies come in from Earth every week or two to help someone if they need medical attention, food, clothes, etc.D
46
12To improve atmospheric conditions so that humans can live on Mars safely is to be in spacesuits mostly when they go outside so they will not be so cold in the cold tempertures. D
47
13Meteorologist and engineer could create a sheild over mars to control the weather. They will put that on Mars (somehow) to make it simulate an atmosphere. Right now the atmosphere on Mars is to thin to support life but with this we would be a big step closer to living on Mars.M
48
14An easy solution is just puting plants on Mars and having maybe a little green house to try to balance out the CO2 and O. Curently the levels of carbon dioxide is 95.32 % of the atmosphere. M
49
15Scientist will build a building to protect the people living on mars from the dust storms.M
50
16Bring water to mars to give them a way to grow crops.M
