Reflect on the entire experience. What were your favorite parts of the project? What were your least favorite parts? What worked well? What did not wo

My favorite part of the project was working on it with a group and presenting the final project. It was hilarious presenting in front of your friends with your group. Also, it was fun to discover how difficult space colonization truly is. My least favoite part was how much work we needed to put in to impress the NASA people. The only thing that did not work well for my group is where we decided to colonize; even if it was really funny.

What is the weakest part of your proposal?

I believe our weakest part is how much this is going to cost. We really need to start working on the cost because their is so many factors that go into the cost. We also made a really bad choice on where to go. If our group could restart we would of definately gone to a different place

What do you still need to do to be ready for next Wednesday?

Our group still needs to finish our powerpoint presentation. It is almost complete but still needs a few twicks. Also, we need to complete our marketing poster for our mission to Puck, a moon of Uranus. After we finish these tasks, we need to begin our model and then complete all of the questions for this blog.

What are some difficulties that could prevent nations from working together or challenges that must be overcome for nations to work together.

The major problem for all of the different nations is competitiveness. Each nation will be trying to get one step ahead over everyone else. If we can just put aside our differences, and work as one team with the same goal, there shouldn't really be a problem. Another issue might be the language barrier. Anyone that is traveling to Uranus must be trilingual at the least. There should be no issues when trying to communicate with someone who is an essential part of the mission.

If you were to live in your colony what would you want to have there?

If I was going to live in our space colony on Uranus I would want to have some recreation and a community there. Recreation like swimming, tennis, and basketball would be good to have to our colony is like Avon Lake here on Earth. Also, I would want our colony to have some form of a community were everyone knows each other; like Avon Lake or even Learwood! Also, things like TV and computers would be nice to have because it would make life on Uranus just like life on Earth.

What is going to be the most limiting constraint you will need to deal with?

The biggest problem our project will face is the trouble of supplying oxygen for a long period of time. For example, the International Space Station has a sufficient amount of air for us to breathe. If we were talking about making an actual colony on a planet such as Uranus, there would be a problem. Hopefully we will be able to invent some sort of tool to supply more air.
