To infinity and Beyond!

By Brandon Miller, Greg Miller, and Cameron Morgan

Current technology is limiting us to just observation

And On???

There are many unsolved mysteries of the universe that cannot be explained with current technology

Gravity

Black Holes

New tools are needed to overcome the current challenges of space exploration

Big Bang Theory

Galaxy Phenomenon

Dark Matter/Energy

Why Space?

Where to?

- Acquisition of Resources

- Colonization of New Lands

- Understanding the Universe

- Testing New Theories?

- Finding Aliens?

-Satellite Colony

-Manned Missions to Mars

-Outside the Solar System

-Livable Planets?

The Earth

Overview

What is the issue?

How does it relate to us?

Recent developments?

Where are we going?

From the undiscovered areas on Earth to the mysteries of how it works, tools are needed to understand Earth completely.

The Never-Ending Problem

Executing a manned mission to Mars

Understanding the mysteries of Earth

Relating to Engineers

Sending satellites in orbit

-Discovering the unknown

-Designing more efficient methods

-Bettering life in the process

Modernizing medicine

The Most Extreme Conditions

-Volcanoes are too hot

-The oceans are too deep

-The forests are very lush

Physics

There still lies many mysteries about the surface of this planet let alone the core

The magnetosphere and ozone layer protect us from our dangerous sun

Is it possible to explore then colonize these places?

And the Earth is constantly changing environment

A better understanding of these things could help preserve the planet

The Human Body

Better tools in medicine can help us to:

-Diagnose and treat illnesses

-Accommodate disabilities

-Understand genome sequencing

Utilizing the design of our brains, computers as well as processors can be improved

Mapping of the brain could improve treatment of mental illnesses

Being able to map the brain could lead to a more full understanding of its potential

Mental Maps?

Physical Benefits

Nutritional regulation via deficiency detection

Understanding and sequencing DNA can prevent diseases and promote healthy living

Modernizing prosthetics will improve the life of those that are handicapped
