Part 3
  • How could space suits be designed to support human life on mars?
  • How could existing space suits be redesigned to be better or more efficient?
  • How could a “Biosphere” be designed that would fully function?
  • How could a “Biosphere” be designed that could easily be transported to mars?
  • How could a new engine be designed for rockets that could function better or more efficiently?

  1. I feel like questions one and two are very similar and one could be changed to possibly asking if redesigning a specific part or feature of the suit may lead to supporting life on mars.
